I started walking 2 miles a day.....It's now been 3 months and I'm miles from home and have no idea where I am !
where are you now???

Exercising actually makes me be more mindful of what i eat.
"After exercising, you might eat a double portion of breakfast!"
Yes, many people DO make poor health choices because they don't understand the mechanics of weight loss. Thanks for contributing to that, Vox.
Exactly why would I exercise if I’m just gonna gain the calories by eating useless calories
this is absolutely true
Actually the heaviest I''ve been was when I was the most active (going to the gym regularly ,doing gymnastics,running..)I don't really know why but now I barely walk 10min a day if I did so and I became underweight just because I don't eat as much as I remember I did back in the day (unintentionnally ! my busy schedule ) so yeah this video to me is pretty accurate diet is everything !
@@asgreyasnada649 If you're underweight, then it really doesn't matter if you were heavier while doing exercise, because that was your healthy weight. It sounds like you need to remind yourself to eat, which you were more mindful of while active.
I've been able to lose a lot of weight easily using a pretty method. I can't post the link here but you can find it on my channel
To anyone who wants to lose weight as well:
- Drink water before meals, consuming a glass of water before meals can help you feel fuller, which may lead to consuming fewer calories during the meal.
- Replace sugary drinks with water, swap out sugary sodas, juices, and energy drinks with water. Not only will this reduce your calorie intake, but it will also eliminate empty calories and added sugars from your diet.
- Stay hydrated, sometimes feelings of hunger can actually be masked thirst. Aim to drink water consistently throughout the day to stay hydrated and avoid mistaking thirst for hunger.
See you guys when you reached your weight loss goals and feel amazing!
I want to add something that doesn't get talked about enough, and that's the importance of a healthy gut microbiome. There's some very recent research which suggests that a healthy gut microbiome and how efficiently you lose weight is strongly related. Makes sense why some people can eat everything and not gain a pound! So be sure to look after your gut health. You can do this by taking a high quality weight loss probiotic. (Just make sure it contains only the research-backed ingredients) - Fermented foods are good too such as kimchi, tempeh, kombucha etc.

I’ve finally understood that my eating is the only thing that will help me lose weight, I’ve recently joined the gym and I’m going not to lose weight but to improve my fitness and get stronger. Once that clicks for you, it’s a great feeling 😊
This whole video is forgetting that increasing muscle mass also increases your resting calorie burn.
It can but not always. Latest research show that these mechanisms (lowering metabolism, hormonal changes for you to feel more hungry and less full, reactions of the fat cells to restock, etc) are similar if you eat less or exercice more (and are stronger for women).
Just exercise,build muscle and stop eating garbage food
They must be considering only activities like jogging, cycling etc. You don't build muscles with those...
Minimal.....also the average dedicated gymer is lucky to put on 5kg of muscle a year
Extra calories burnt per lb of muscle is negligible compared to not eating a snack.
When people think of losing weight, their mind doesn't go to strength training. It goes to cardio.
You can exercise 7 days a week - do tons of cardio. But if you over-eat you're going to gain weight. People don't realise how important diet really is.
you need both and watch what you eat not just for weight.. life is not easy...
@@campkira I know right 😰
Now I realized why do we bother to exercises at all 😩
So true
But what is "overeating"? Michael Phelps consumed 10,000 calories A DAY when he was training and I would pretty much guarantee no one thinks he's overweight. But if Michael Phelps was some office worker who consumed that many calories a day, he'd be morbidly obese. So what it's all about is how you utilize(or not utilize) the calories you take in.
The real secret comes down to your diet; how many calories are you consuming vs how many you’re burning. I never really payed attention to what I ate before, but I started weighing out portions and counting calories, and it works. It really does work. The key is discipline and consistency. I started off by finding a calorie intake calculator on google and calculated how many calories I should intake to lose ‘x’ amount of weight per week. Then you stick to it. But your mindset is important too, you’re not starving yourself or depriving yourself from enjoying food, sometimes I go 2-3 days in a row over my caloric ‘ceiling’ but the key is to stay consistent, while also making sure to enjoy the foods you eat
😂😂 burning? There’s no fire in a person. Chemical reactions and hormones. Good try, Bro.

@@y2knabil just search ‘calorie calculator’ on google, first one that pops up is good

Very true. I do track so I run about at least 5-6 miles a day. I didn't see much weight loss in high school, but when I went to college and had less time to eat, I rapidly lost about 15 lb in about 6 months. Exercise may build muscle, but diet matters for weight.
Walking
Don't you think it's common sense. If you loss your weight by exercise and gaining same amount of weight by eating. Then how will it be beneficial in weight loss. You have to cut your diet.
15 pounds in 6 months ain’t rapid ☠️ I lost nearly 50 pounds in that same period of time.
@@StiglerPanther well considering I started at a low body weight (110), it's quite a lot
Playstation5< Less calories,water and moving around will lose you weight... trying get less than 1000 calories a day for a month, and you will no doubt lose wieght!
But, if you exercise it can improve your mood and reduce your tendency to comfort eat.
My appetite increases the more i exercise funnily enough.
@@bigblakboiii Well that does make sense because presumably you burn calories but I reckon it could go the other way too.
@@bigblakboiii Well eat meat. Gains.
@@bigblakboiii yes thats pretty normal. but comfort food is different from just feeling hunger.
@@jatinrustagi9763 meat has protein but so does other stuff. you shouldnt eat meat in high amounts, it increases risk for diabetes
i hope people get that the point of the video is not to stop exercising altogether, but that exercise alone is not enough and maintaining a healthy diet is also necessary.
Based on the comments I don't think they did.
I did P90 and now I'm back to myself after only a third of the time. It really is about the food.
Maybe if they formulated the video better, the message would get trough. From this video it seemed as if they were saying that exercise is basically pointless.
If the goal is to lose weight...it kinda is?
THAT'S THE PROBLEM, the vid didn't exactly hammer that home. The title makes it even worse, it makes it sound like exercise is completely useless.
what they didn’t take into consideration is that by exercising you build up muscle which are in turn constantly burning calories and your metabolism becomes more active.
I’ve just turned 40 and i’m the least active I’ve been, however I’ve cut down to 2 meals a day with an 18 hour fast in between and I’m the slimmest since I was 15 years old. Very little exercise these days but just minimised the input and have had great results, just the feeling of being hungry occasionally at breakfast time. Which is not a big deal really, it just takes discipline. Good luck everyone 😊
The media reinforces a culture of gluttonery that makes no sense as nutrition.

U know it's very easy to be philosophical about something as long as it doesn't happen to you
Anyone who’s ever done a workout on a machine or with a wearable device has realized how few calories are actually burned despite a huge physical effort.
ya otherwise wed all be twigs
@@dipaverse yeah, I started weight lifting hard awhile back and barely lost any weight and actually gained weight at first. After months I started losing weight and after a year of being a total gym rat I had to add heavy whipping cream to my coffee and stuff myself to keep from losing too much weight. Bodybuilders have to eat calorie dense foods just to keep from losing muscle from weight lifting. This whole video only discusses CARDIO and not weightlifting, which ignores half the data and it's like going to a political debate and ignoring 1 of the candidates completely and then talking about how that candidate completely failed to campaigna
Idd. When you feel super exhausted and your wearable is like “yeah that’ll be 50 calories” but you feel like you wanna eat 5000 calories lol
Yup weight loss is 80% 20% exercise.
Actually if you are in the obese category with an BMI of 40+ an hour of moderate cardio will result in 500+ calories. Vigorous exercise at a higher BMI can easily get you to 700-800 cal. That's about an entire normal meal plus some dessert. But that's only for those who weigh a lot already.
*A combination of eating healthy and exercising is THE best approach. Exercise not only burns calories, but it relieves stress. And stress is the reason many people over eat. Let exercise be your stress reliever. Not food.* 💗💗💗
I believe that exercising on its own is not very helpful in losing weight, but when combined with eating healthy and changing your eating habits it definitely boosts your weight loss journey.

75% of people here think that this video is against exercise
25% of people here actually know what the video is talking about
DragonPupEclipse Nevertheless this can influence a lot of people negatively!
Leading a healthy fit life is not rocket science, eat better, exercise and stay consistent!
@@seifbouanik3689 No, people these days think that they can eat unhealthy food as much as they want if they exercise five days a week or even less. The point of this video is that while exercising is helpful: it helps you to be healthier, live longer and you slim down, it's not the only thing we can depend on. If you eat cheeseburgers all day and then exercise for a bit, that's not gonna do that much. See, I said that it's not gonna do that much, I didn't say that it's not gonna do anything. People, for instance, when they're on a party or somewhere else and see pizza or whatever eat it and exercise more than they would without the pizza, then they feel depressed and crave junk food when they could just not eat that pizza at the party. People who want us to buy their food tell us that it's okay to eat unhealthy food as long as we exercise and that mentality is what causes obesity. People in this video are saying that while we should exercise, we should also eat healthy. If you didn't understand that, that's your problem.
All these exercise enthusiasts feel threatened by this video. It shows how obsessed they are with being morally superior.
They have said before diet is 80 percent something like that to lose weight
This video is not against exercise, but it contributes to a culture that is so obsessed with weight that exercise is essentially dismissed in this video without qualification. The reason we care so much about an obese population is because of the comorbidities that are associated with obesity - heart problems, diabetes, depression, fatigue, etc. Exercise is effective in reducing all of those risk factors independently of weight loss, and should be heavily pushed and associated with a long life and better health. Not all obese people are at the same level of health; some are functionally the same or better that their "thin" counterparts. I really disagree with how Vox communicated this because it could cause more harm than good.
Agree with the vid, but the best thing about exercise is that it motivates you to eat healthier, plus it improves mental health.
Nick yeah I would feel bad eating bad after a workout
...plus it burns calories lol
Nick god...I wish my mental health was good enough for me to actually exercise...
Am I Alive? well what do you want to do? Lose weight or gain muscle?
Is it just me or does somebody else feel that both my mental condition and happiness worsen after a good afternoon of working out?
A lot of times happens that somebody, among the cool fitness freaks that surround my everyday life, randomly chimes in and says to me, the laziest ass on Earth: "hey! go out and run! It's like a drug! if you start you can't stop cAN'T STOP CAN'T STAAAHP!".
But, when I actually go out and run, I don't feel any kind of addiction nor pleasure in doing that. Is this normal?
Exercise is nothing without good nutrition. Problem is I have no idea about calories and nutrients. I tried next Leveldiet and currently its working perfectly for me. 100% recommend
just be consistent and the results will come. NextLevelDiet is great for beginners, I lost 30lbs by following their plan
Sport is just a way to increase your TDEE so it's easier to lose weight without dieting so hard. What's important isnt the calories burned by the exercice, it's the calories burned by your new body once it has adapted to the training. For example some (natural) bodybuilders have a resting metabolic rate of more than 3k calories a day. this way you cant eat satisfying meals and still be in a deficit
"Exercise is nothing without good nutrition" Exactly, you can't outrun a bad nutrition.
Bro just count your calories
@@ScootTooner depends
I was told my whole life that exercising is the best way to lose weight, etc. While exercise is important in building muscle, improving mental health, among many other things. Dietary habits is a super overlooked part of it. I started just counting calories about 4 months ago. I went from eating and drinking whatever I wanted to a daily goal of 1500 calories. In that time, I’ve lost more than 20 pounds. It’s important to note that I was overweight so you’re current weight (compared to your target weight) will depend on your body’s ‘natural’ comfortable weight. So it might be faster, or slower for some. While 1500 calories sounds like not a lot, it’s not as hard as people think, all it really takes is for you to WANT to do it. I still eat pretty much whatever I want, but I just control my portions. Obviously some days I go over my goal, but long term consistency is key
im impressed with how many people dont know that you have to actually count calories in calories out when you're trying to lose weight.... not just exercise... i thought this was common knowledge... 😬😬😬
Good for you. But please don’t make the mistake of eating 2 slices of pizza and 1 donut because they are 1500 calories. Those are not real food. Probably we should eat natural unprocessed food and our body will thank us

cortarelva Not even indirectly. They mention it is good for health.
+Susan Stanko What they actually say is very different from how they say it and how people will take it. Regardless of what's said, someone uneducated and unmotivated to exercise will finish this video thinking that exercise is not worth it.
lol
So basically the video just explained the 20/80 rule: %20 working out and %80 eating healthy or choosing healthier options.
Actually, eating only 80% of your food capacity is the way to eat. That is the Japanese way of eating. Eat only up to 80% full. Harahachibu.
Eghe12345... true
Hara hachi bun me 😉 I love japan 🇯🇵
@@xordux7 too bad Japan hates everyone else...not that I don't blame them...
Yes but they used scientific sources. I personally loved the explaining :)
Eat less food, do more exercise. Unless you are a genetic anomaly or suffer from health issues you will 100% lose weight by doing those 2 things.
Even if you are a genetic anomaly and suffer from health issues, a caloric deficit will make you lose weight
No, don't eat less food. Eat more foods that are nutritionally dense, satiating, and low to moderate calorie--this is a lot of whole foods, minus fruits. Leave off the processed, concentrated, empty and high calorie foods. After awhile, the body begins to crave the healthier food. You can actually eat more, volume wise, if you're eating the right foods, and you don't have to be hungry all the time.
I'm heavy on that 👏💫
The key to losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight is to have a balanced diet, don't over eat, exercise regularly, stay hydrated and sleep at least 8 hours.
While exercising alone won't make you lose weight, exercising energizes me, which allows me to make sane decisions about what I eat. Guys don't look at this as an excuse to not exercise because exercise is needed even if you don't lose weight

@Hannah Papernick-Yudin finally someone who thinks like me
Exercise keeps your body fit, and looking younger.
Excercise make me want to eat less, for real. I don't overeat and I feel fuller when I exercise. If I don't exercise, I lay on the couch all day and eat entire pizzas.
to me it's the opposite, exercise makes me wanna eat more than I usually would (by a lot sometimes) cause I feel tired & need energy. interesting to see how different people are!
@@user-up1dk2uy8q It should be normal actually when you do exercise and you feel hungry because of the lost of calories. WHat you can do is doing exercise before the time for eating (maybe before breakfast or dinner)
I used to feel the same but after like a year of not exercising I feel the opposite, now I feel like I need some food after doing exercise. I guess its the age?
I don’t even have the money to buy pizzas-
Yeah I agree
I lost 6 stone in 3 months. I did this by simply starting an exercise program that I kept up. I got with my partner and I stopped exercising. I've gained weight since I stopped. Of course dietary restrictions should also happen but exercise is a really good way to lose weight. A good example is in the English military. You eat as much food as you can. Chips, beans, high calorie foods of all sorts. People in the military don't tend to get overweight because of how much exercise they are getting. I dont agree with this science, from personal experience. Maybe someone can educate me differently about this.
You answered it yourself.
This video is saying that high impact exercise doesn't work if you end up losing energy and compensating by cutting off other stuff.
A person in military is taking in per your statement high amount of calories and a lot of high impact exercise.
Hence they are constantly burning that compensation.
As A Runner I Can Get Away With Eating A Lot Of Food But When I Do That I Never Lose Weight I Only Maintain It sorry for capitalizing all the letters. Also the science is correct because the people in the military are *eating right* they are getting the proper amount of food for the proper amount of exercise. What is different with people who gain weight is that they eat more than their daily expenditure. The people who *lose* weight are the people who eat less than their daily expenditure. The science and this video is trying to emphasize *daily expenditure* that is the whole point of the video.
If you love the gym routine, you are alright. For the rest of us, eating far less calories than our daily routine requires is the basic science to it.
I have lived my whole life with a very nice body that everyone always complimented me wherever l went, could be at work, school, home, streets. Then l gained weight mostly in 2020 and I have lost my confidence and people still tell me l look good but when you know yourself u know. I felt like sharing this😩❤️loosing weight is my biggest goal right now❤️
How do you feel now
Regardless of what they say in this video, please know that exercising helps you to fight off the crave for junk food, after a good work out session, my mind is a lot stronger on staying away from unhealthy diet and my appetite for healthy food increase.
Need to be more specific. Resistance training and lean muscle mass increase calorie consumption at rest significantly. Cardio.. not at all.
Idk man, the number of people that walk into a burger joint straight out of the gym tells me something else.
Almost like...your specific case does not fit everybody else's
Definitely agree. Something about exercising just gets me to have healthier cravings, like I'm in touch with what my body really needs.
Lol no. Does not work that way for most people. Exercising makes me hungry and makes me crave junk food. In fact, after intense exercise I end up eating MORE than I normally would. That's also what the science shows, over 60 articles in fact. So what I do is I stick to low-intensity workouts, because I still get the health benefits without the raging hunger pangs afterwards, and without the junk food cravings. I do walking, yoga, pilates, dancing.
lucky you?
For me eating is a way to combat boredom and loneliness. I’m realizing just how empty my life is now that I’m eating less. All I needed was a job, friends or a hobby to keep me busy enough so that I don’t eat every moment of the day.
Bless you!
Amen to that!!
your not alone man lol
My empty stomach is a symbol of my empty life.
It's me ,same same no existing and interesting things in my life
this is so true. exercise is a hobby if you want to increase stamina/strength.
but the second you say "just eat less calories, work in healthier food over time" people call it an eating disorder.
like fasting …
There's that new one: Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder ... Too bad it hits too close to home 😊 ... it used to be called, for want of a better term: "Food Phobia" ...
Losing weight is simple. Eat Less, move more.
For as simple as it is, it's the HARDEST thing to do.
Builds muscle, has big arms and a big midsection. Goes on diet, now has small arms and a big midsection. Lipo really needs to be developed more.
Correction eat less CALORIES eating more actually helps you
@@NOIR332 eating more of what though?
The video isn't saying not to exercise. It's saying that based on whatever studies they cite, those studies found that exercising alone does not necessarily lead to results. It is true that losing weight is as simple as calories in < calories out, and exercising increases calories out; however, human behaviour takes a toll. People tend to justify eating more, or eating worse, because they exercised. In this case, while they're increasing calories out, they're also increasing calories in.
They're not saying it's impossible to lose weight by just exercising, only that it's a lot harder and requires a lot more focus and self control than most people have. Changing the way we eat and our approach to food is, in the opinion of the studies this video cites, a more sustainable and effective way to lose weight.
At the end of the day, everyone needs to find what works for them.
THANK YOU
A healthy diet
_"People tend to justify eating more, or eating worse, because they exercised. In this case, while they're increasing calories out, they're also increasing calories in."_
Entirely sensible if you're trying to lose FAT, not WEIGHT, per se. Anabolism is "metabolically expensive." A sedentary, 200lb man and a buff, 200lb weightlifter weigh the same...yet the sedentary guy is carrying 20 or so extra lbs of fat.

Last year I purchased a 6 week gym membership that I used 5 days a week for at least an hour per day and had lost approx. 1 Kilo by the end of it.
For the last 6 weeks I've been on Keto and have already lost 8 Kilos.
If you go to the gym, you can also build muscle which improves your metabolism. It's not only about burning calories but also body composition.
By working out your muscle mass increases which leads to an increase of your
basal metabolism.
And of your weight, haha. Muscles are heavy.
Yeah but by how much? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the difference is insignificant
Dardan M Depends on what kind of sport you do I guess.
Did you actually watch the video?
ScarlettShinzon I did, but I can only agree partly. There some points that I think are wrong, for example that people of the african tribe that was mentioned burn the same amount of calories as adults in the US and Europe. I'm pretty sure that they don't burn more, because they eat less. If the body would get more food, they would get bigger muscles and burn more. So the causal chain is vice versa.
So they tried to make something that has been very obvious for years now as some sort of recent scientific breakthrough? Yes, exercise plays a smaller role in terms of calorie expenditure compared to nutrition, but the offset is not as insignificant as they make it sound. The problem is the *type* of exercise, such as low-intensity cardio, that is perpetuated to be effective for calorie expenditure when in fact it's not all that great.
Anyway, I research a lot and make fitness and health videos. Stuff like this irks me from time to time.
heyy its PictureFit. Love your videos
yeeee
I feel like they were just trying to highlight the importance of nutrition. But for some reason they had to make the video 'diet vs exercise' which really doesn't get the message across. This would be cool if they did a video talking about caloric intake vs expenditure and the effects improper hormone levels from bad nutrition.
exercise builds muscle, which raises resting metabolic rate.... right?
Unfortunately you're wrong. first it wasn't "obvious". Even people in the industry (yourself included) don't seem to understand the basic concepts. Secondly the impact of exercise whether aerobic or weights etc is OVER stated no matter how you slice it. Increasing muscle mass has negligible sometimes nonexistent to effect on your resting metabolic rate. Its only real affect is in recovery metabolic rate which is again has negligible long term effects for most people outside of gym rats.
Your livelyhood depends on people believing exercise = weight loss I understand the confirmation bias.
I’ve been through months of exercise, watching videos, reading articles, and hearing from people in real life…. I boiled it down to basically starving yourself. The effective way to lose weight. Almost all of the successful, excessive weight loss stories all came down to basically fasting long periods of time.
wrong ...absolutely incorrect
True
A more realistic method is to give your body far fewer calories than it needs, check my postings above.
I have found physical activity expedited the process exponentially for me. I think it doesn't matter how much you exercise if you dont reduce the calories you eat but for me doing that and getting in a minimum of 10,000 to 12,000 steps a days changed my life.
A bit misleading. Diet *and* exercise are the keys to weight loss. They didn't even bother mentioning how strength-training (for muscles) will increase your metabolism.
this video is ridiculous
It really is, it's kinda like let's throw out every synergistic effect of exercise with weight loss and say exercise is less important.
Jessica Starrett Did you read the comment? It clearly reads "...exercise is less important" not "...exercise wasn't important"
amitj78 In *your* own words "1 pound of fat burns 2 calories per day while 1 pound of muscle burns 6 calories per day."
I rest my case.
That was one study and it was throughly debunked. The amount of calories you burn from having more muscle mass is TINY. At maximum found in athletes it totaled an extra 50 calories per day.
You'll definitely look better if you workout to lose weight vs just dieting lol..
Absolutely. Exercise still has lots of benefits!
Candi Soda They weren’t knocking excersize in the video haha
Muscle also uses more calories that fat so you can eat more if you have more of it
Adam richardson damn bro nice! I’ve lost over 14 kilos in just a month. That’s what you lost but in half the time. I’m on a 900-1300 calorie a day diet. I suggest you give it a try!
Azoui That‘s an awful way of losing weight. With a calorie deficite that high you 1) lose not just fat but also muscle mass, 2) slow your metabolism down so much that losing weight and especially gaining muscle will become harder and 3) will probably have a rebound effect some time and overeat because you cannot sustain your diet.
You have to do a much more conservative calorie deficite like -20% if you want to lose weight and do a sustainable body recomposition.
This is completely true. I have been fasting for 24hrs to sometimes 48hrs. No exercise at all. Lost 45 lbs in 3 months. BTW I didnt really notice any muscle loss.
You did lose some muscle though.
dont fast anymore
@@2mw3 why 💀💀
How do you do tour fastings??
What’s your age?
I’ve lost 45 lbs by exercising for a full hour 5x a week. My diet changed very little. Everybody is different for me Exercise is the key
well whats your diet....that is key trust me u werent eating garbage
But working out creates more muscle tissue overtime. This muscle tissue burns alot more calories compared to the isolating fat cells, even when you are just doing nothing.
Someone missed the whole part about metabolic compensation... 2:22
GelidGanef As far as I learned in class he is right and never learned about metabolic compensation, I learned the opposite.
And the video states when we lose weight (Not when we gain lean mass, which are two separate things)
This website www.metaboliceffect.com/metabolic-compensation/ goes into greater detail than they did in the video, and it actually has some links to good research. It talks about how difficult it can be, even with lots of exercise and dieting, to actually increase your metabolism. Or even increase your muscle mass. They show lots of studies where participants lost muscle mass on a vigorous diet and exercise program.
It doesn't burn that many calories and it takes a long time to build a significant amount of muscle. It is true that it burns less than fat which fat burns roughly 2 calories a day per lb of fat. But I believe some research shows that muscle might only burn about 5 calories per lb of muscle.
resting metabolic rate is only *MARGINALLY* increased by building some muscle mass
MISLEADING VIDEO!! This is is talking about aerobic exercise because anaerobic exercise leads to muscle gain. If you have a larger muscle mass, then you have a greater resting metabolism. So you can lose fat if you gain some muscle.
Yeah vox likes to do that sometimes
I agree. I've been doing a workout program for 4 weeks and I learned that even if I'm loosing fat, I may be gaining more weight via muscle. So far, lost 10 lbs of fat.
except all the exercise they mentioned in the video was aerobic exercise and its that kind of exercise that is thought of as a weight loss tool. Also by gaining muscle mass your not losing any weight read the title of the video
the problem with aerobic exercise is you have to maintain it. You stop due to sickness or injury and two weeks later you will be huge if you aren't careful.
Building muscles creates a continuous loop in which muscles require lots of energy to remain and can actually cause you to lose a potentially unhealthy amount of weight for up to a year by literally doing nothing and not maintaining your workout calorie intake.
And yes much of this weight is muscle weight, muscle weighs more than fat. Anyone who says they wont lift because they dont want to gain weight is doomed to fail on losing their fat. Your muslces can do more to shed fat than anything else.
thin and under fed I weigh 165lbs, fat and out of shape I am 190-200lbs, fit with a small waist and bulked up im 225. Weight is meaningless when it comes to health.
The end of the video shows what Vox is really trying to convey. Another political statement against a huge corporation and how its their fault we have an obesity problem
When I eat well, that’s when I lost calories most. Actually, just getting rid of junk food is what makes me lose weight. Exercise is not that significant but still important. The combination of both is perfect.
UPDATE: I'm not saying that eating well will make you lose calories, but eating well and getting a good sleep will always help to a good quality lifestyle (sorry for my English)
Yeah. A light and moderate with a good diet will help it. Also consume foods that make your body work harder than process to get that energy. This process will force the body to incease the energy budget to digest the food while you alter the food with high quality.
same i lost 13 pounds after cutting off diary and junk food
Excercise gives me confidence, boost my self esteem. I think personally it's a great thing to make you feel better and release stress.
(Diet + cardio + strength training + consistency) is the best way for weight loss.
Sleep and low stress also helps a lot. High cortisol is always a deterrent for losing weight.
Literally just Calorie In versus Calorie Out - nothing else is required

This video seems factual enough but I hope people don't discard exercise in general because of it. Exercise can be HUGELY helpful in managing and preventing more common mental health issues- issues that are on the rise just like obesity is.
They aren't saying to stay away from exercise.
That's exactly my point. There are going to be people who see this video as an excuse to give up on exercise. I hope folks prioritise even just their mental health enough to stick with it!
Lol, severe mental health problems are not going to be fixed by exercise. If you have a little bit of anxiety or depression it might help a little, but people with severe disorders rarely would see symptoms go down based on a change in your exercise routine.
It's not particularly helpful to most people to tout things like exercise as a way to fix mental health problems. It can sometimes manage symptoms, but it's like putting a bandaid on a bulletwound for most people. I have OCD and I do enjoy biking and swimming, but it hasn't changed any of my symptoms.
1. Didn't say exercise alone could fix them- I'm on medication and encourage everyone to try meds/therapy as a first and main option if offered
2. Referred to most common mental health issues which are anxiety and combined depression+anxiety- also stands to reason that mild-moderate forms are more common than severe, and prevention would address developing mild depression before it has become severe, but even so
3. Said 'can be', not 'will be'
4. Have been housebound on and off for years, unable to work for years, only eating one meal a day for months at a time, (which makes me cringe to think now) have had suicidal ideation and planning most of my adult life and have had dissociate seizures. Exercise was and is hugely helpful for me in managing my symptoms and is for many others with severe cases- though, especially with depression, I know that without other help exercise is near or completely impossible.
petalbreeze I'm sorry if I seem skeptical but I have never met anyone who uses exercise as even one of their primary ways to manage severe mental health symptoms. In fact most people, including myself sometimes, don't exercise during breakout symptom periods because if you have OCD or an eating disorder or something it can make you feel much much worse.
I just don't like these kinds of comments because they live in the same realm as those articles you read about the woman who did yoga for 6 months and cured her depression. If we all started jogging we are not all going to be fixed
When you eat, how much you eat, and when you stop eating makes the difference. Self-discipline is key. Intermittent fasting, for me the 20:4 method makes losing weight a breeze. Lost 18.5 pounds in 2.5 months. Happy, healthier & more determined to keep going. The first 2 weeks are hard but you get through it. We’re humans, we adapt. Best of luck to anyone trying to lose weight!
If you was also doing cardio every morning on a empty stomach then you would had been losing more weight.
When do you eat? Dinner or breakfast?
Well, everyone's different. I went months with just dieting and limited exercise, and saw little results.
I started walking an hour a day on doctor's orders, and I started seeing nearly instant results. At least a pound a week. Then I eventually started walking 2 hours a day, and the pounds started falling off.
Right now I'm 60 pounds down in 7 months. (Not including the 10 from before I started exercising)
What about diet in the second part ?
Yea but how much was your starting weight? That matters
I was able to lose 5 pounds in under a week just by eating 1 meal a day

Food is medicine. Many are overdosing on it.
I wonder how accurate this is. Years back I took on a very physical job. Averaging 20k steps a day, and constantly lifting, carrying, climbing ladders and stairs in a hurry, and I couldn't gain weight to save my life. Lost 50lbs while eating like a bottomless pit. Fast food, soda pop, pizza, swiss cake rolls, you name it, and when I wasn't eating, I was snacking. Still lost weight.
Maybe cause your working hours are about 6-8 a day. And an average work out is about an hour
Losing weight is almost all about your BMR or RMR. One of the things that influence it would be a very intense physical job. Most likely most of the calories you ate were burned by your metabolism and your glycogen stores were depleted while doing the job.
I used to do Crossfit and weighed 210 lbs. I quit and started doing just yoga and walking and lost 35 lbs. That proves this method presented in the video. Harder workouts aren't always better.
So you went from thinking you did cardio to doing cardio…
How much walking did you do per day?
@@ScalperSpecltr 60 min. 20 in the morning, 40 at night

+Alexander Flores mines always running too
The best exercises for weight loss are fork put-downs and plate push-aways.
You shouldn't run with a fork, it is very dangerous.
Come on this video is filled with bad conclusions.
If you have more muscle tissue you have a higher basal metabolism, and you get that by... exercising.
When you exercise with high intense you can lose up to 20kcal per minute. So if you exercise for an hour 3 days a week and maintain the exact diet, you will lose fat.
They say that you will not lose weight because you will be hungrier. If you want to lose weight you will need to correct your diet, so obviously it's not just the exercise.
Bottom line, exercises do help you lose weight if you're actually into it and have enough discipline to correct the way you eat.
darksideofthemoon128
Or I can do exercises and spend more calories and lose fat.
The more muscle tissue you have, more calories you spend. period.
20k calories a minute? Did you have a stroke there pal? You do realize that the "healthy" caloric intake is less than 5,000 right? According to what you gave, spending anything more than a couple minutes doing the workout and you'll die from lack of energy. Granted, yes you will lose fat, but you will also lose muscle, and just about every cell storing energy in your body, which is every cell.
Anyways, they did not say that losing weight will make you hungrier. They said that people who lose weight are more likely to eat something that can reset their progress. Note there the words *more* *likely*, and not will.
Also, bottom line, exercises do help you lose weight, *but*, and that is a HUGE but, only works if you intake less calories than you burn through exercise. Basically, saying only eat vegetables, which have amongst the smallest amount of calories in them. Which is far from healthy, and, for the average joe, just about impossible.
Mighty_Devil _1
Yes, studies show that a intense exercise you burn up to 20kcal per minute. Not sure what you tried to say but if you're so confused about it just read some articles and you catch up.
You have a higher basil metabolic rate is higly correlated with weight. If you weigh the same, having muscle rather than fat won't make a huge difference unless you're really getting ripped.
MightyDevil, look up your units. The average intake of calories is way higher than 5000 calories. It is much closer to 5000 Calories. 1 calorie =/= 1 Calorie. 1 Calorie = 1000 calories. 1 Kcal = 1 Calorie.
Here's the deal: if you eat at maintenance calories, exercise can help you achieve caloric deficit. However, if you're at a surplus you need more exercise to achieve caloric deficit. But there's only so much exercise you can do. So help your body achieve deficit by limiting the calories that you consume.
You got your science right.
It's all about calories in/calories out. Exercise can increase calories out, and dieting is what controls calories in.
The point of the video is that you shouldn't be surprised if you don't lose weight with exercise if you continue to eat too much (especially fast food), not that exercise is bad or useless despite what the video said, it was just to get your attention. A healthy diet is necessary for success, and I don't mean those fad diets. I mean changing the way you eat for good. If it's something that only lasts a few months the chances are your weight will come back.
Ndeera Mirweniel Actually, I've lost weight without having having to lessen how much I eat. In the beginning I changed the kinds of foods I was eating. Then money got right. So, the only thing I changed was increasing the amount of exercise. I went months eating all kinds of junk food, but I was doing a lot of walking and my weight never went up or down. When I stop exercising and continue to eat a lot, my weight goes up. So, for me I've found that the key is staying active. I like long walks anyway so it's not difficult for me to get out. However, I would like to get back to weight lifting. Maybe for me my eating isn't as bad as others. But as far I am concerned, I get hungry pretty much 6 times a day and can eat a full meal each time. But with exercise, my weight stays where it is. If I want to lose weight, increase the amount of exercise and my weight goes down.
I think this issue may differ for some people based on their bodies.
It's still shitty clickbait
Have you seen the same video I have? It didn't say that exercise is useless, the polar opposite "it's probably the single best way to improve your health". And there's no point at mentioning fast food here, most food at grocery stores nowadays is equally processed and contains the same junk as a McDonalds burger, don't educate yourself on TH-cam comments, please, read.
they never said that exercise is useless. They just said that it is a relatively inefficient way of losing weight as compared to eating healthy. They were emphasising that exercise is one of the best things you can do to live a healthier life, but it's just not as effective in helping you lose weight as is often considered.

Running isnt bad for you or your knees. Humans were built for running. People just don't know how to properly run with good form
This is so true, I was at my slimmest when I only did 2 a week hiit workouts and 5x light workouts with weights
Weight Loss Tip: Stop eating 5h before bedtime. Your body still has enough fuel for the rest of the day. Drink water when you feel hungry.
I literally came from a long workout
And this is what I see😭
I workout out almost everyday except the weekends and I’m never hungry after a workout I lose my appetite if anything
I get that too, but you dont get to that point unless youve been doing that for a while. Like if you stop yr workout for 2 weeks to deload and then come back, you'll crave for some sugar
honestly same
same. most snacking and unhealthy eating is out of boredom, depression, or stress and regular exercise helps all 3. If I'm busy all day and exercise I barely get hungry at all and because I've already had a ton of mental and physical stimulation I'm not looking for a treat, I'm just looking to get less hungry so I'm more willing to eat something super healthy but that may not be very tasty since most junk food is eaten as a form of stimulation.
Depends what you do, in my experience. I like to cycle long distances and deliberately push myself to the point where I almost can't move anymore, by which point I really don't feel like eating afterwards. If I were to stop earlier though, or do a less intensive form of exercise, my appetite wouldn't change much.
Me too
Even if there is not noticeable weight loss there is a huge benefit like the video said increase health. I started walking 30 mins a few times a week I barely could do it my back and leg pain was too much. Now after just a few weeks my back pain is less and I'm up to an hour a few times a week. Did I loss a few pound yes I did loss about 3 or 4 pounds. I am watching videos to help to change my eating habits and become more healthy overall.
I’ve lost over 100 pounds just by changing how and what I eat! Exercise is great for your health, but it won’t always result in weight loss
Even though diet is the most important part of losing weight how the hell can you call exercise "useless"? Think about it.
If you eat 2000 kcal a day and go cycling for about 1 hour a day at a modest pace you can burn anywhere from 400 to 500 kcal. That's *highly* significant if you really think about it. If you do that every day and keep your diet the same it adds up. It basically reduces your daily caloric intake by 25%. That's still very significant in the long run. There aint' no magical weight loss pill that could ever do this.
It's weird how they say that you "only" have control of about 30% of the calories you burn per day. How is that "only"? 30% is a big chuck and very useful to take advantage of as opposed to starving yourself.
Not to mention the metabolic boost you get and the fact that you are healthier and therefore your body is going to be more efficient at burning fat.
Someone who makes sense! Thank you!
They didn't say that it's useless, just not as effective as we thought it is.
They said "pretty useless", which is still an invalid thing to say.
Because you're assuming that all the other psychological things like compensatory eating, or making choices like not taking the stairs because you exercised in the morning, don't exist. Not to mention that as one loses weight, as the video said, your metabolism can actually slow down. The body fights to maintain weight once it has been gained and has become the new "normal". Perfect calorie counting isn't easy or always accurate, either.
Daniel O that's not a valid argument since you're still in control of what you do the rest of the day so if you choose to be lazy after working out then you only have yourself to blame. You'd really have to be messing up big time if you somehow compensate for the whole 500 kcal every day though. Sure some people might eat more, which is a problem, but small things like "not taking the stairs" are not going to compensate for the whole 500 kcal unless you really go out of your way to try and sleep for the rest of the day.
I for one don't even experience this.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT a minute! I'm a fitness instructor, and all my fancy textbooks/teachers/personal experience show that the more muscle you have, the higher your resting metabolism!
And how do you gain more muscle? You workout!
So YES, exercise helps you lose weight, just not quite the way we thought.
(Seriously, I lost 30lbs through cardio. I promise it works.)
Yes, that was the point of the video, to explain that exercising is not the best way to lose weight, as many people think it is. A lot of people exercise not to build muscle, but to lose fat. That is the misconception that they are trying to address.
+John Black If you eat "too much" you won't lose weight no matter what you do, not just exercise.
Did you do hiit workouts or just regular cardio?
+Raymond S. You do loose fat with exercise, it's just replaced with muscle (which has a mass as well). So although you may not be losing weight (even though you would loose weight), you are loosing fat.
+Raymond S. But exercises increase your metabolism you burn more calories
I don’t know what it is but when I exercise, I want to eat healthier foods but when I spend a whole day doing nothing, I wanna eat junk food

People with eating disorders shouldn't take this advice... People should begin eating healthy, not less
Well this video just explained that you should eat less bad things like suggar and people shouldn't consume more calories than the daily suggested maximum if they need to lose weight
Um no. If LOSING WEIGHT is your goal because you're obese or overweight, eating less is something you need to do. Sumo wrestlers in Japan do LOTS of physical exercise and eat very healthy but eat lots. Thus they don't lose weight. Let's listen to the doctors and scientists
@@emontibeller7156 You won't gain them back if you MAINTAIN a lower calorie meal plan than you initially had when you where obese.

All I said is that overweight people are overweight and maintain their weight USUALLY because of their high calorie diet.

Agree, I think the calorie RDA's the governments recommend are way too high for ordinary people. 2400 for a man my age, that's a joke, anything over 2k and I start gaining weight. 1600 is the same figure I used during weight loss(I was already at 15% BF, but wanted to go down to 12). Take some discipline to adjust to, but provides adequate calories imo to achieve weight loss while not becoming sickly as with very low calorie restriction.
that is way too much water to be drinking in the span of 24 hours. you should try to cut that down by at least 1L (2L of water a day is recommended for women and 3L for men). seriously if you drink any more than you already do you could get water intoxication

I have kept my diet pretty much the same, three proper meals and two snacks. For the past 3 months I have worked on getting accommodated to the change I made in the 3 proper meals, changed from rice to millets on most days. I am working on changing my diet slowly and steadily. My appetite has gotten better against what it was 3 months back, I wasn't getting hungry at all. So working out helped me in that sense, it makes me feel active and happy. But yeah, I have just started, still gotta lot to learn and lot more in my journey.

It also works for me because I have done this before, this time I did a very long keto with 1 break day with anything I can eat every month (this only apply with eating vegetables and drink water until dinner while eats little bit veggie if hunger kick in).

This video is kind of biased. It talks about cardiovascular exercises like Jogging, and Cycling. What they do is burn calories directly. But what they missed out was looking at High Intensity exercises like Sprinting and Lifting weights. Lifting weights builds muscle mass in your body. And this in turn increases the work your body has to put into "utilizing the muscles" and thus, increases your Resting Metabolism which happens to also be the number 1 factor in affecting the calories you burn. Not to discredit the video but they were absolutely right in saying that diet ultimately is the main issue but they shouldn't say that exercising is ineffective.
It's still a lot more work to do weight training (and frequently not easily accessible for overweight people either. Sure there are equipment-less weight excercises, but not as many of them are viable for overweight people) than to eat a cupcake or drink a glass of juice. It's maybe the most effective excercise, but I'd still say it's not enough to beat simply not eating.
Excercise is also difficult to sustain. If someone loses _any_ weight due to excercise, it means they would need to sustain that excercise for the remainder of their life in order to maintain their weight (assuming that they don't change their diet).
Exactly. Exercise and working out building muscle actually increases the coveted resting metabolism they cherish so much in the video.
muscles are more dense as well.
They are about 15% more dense.
Repairing the muscle tissue (building muscle) burns as much calories as the exercise itself and can be counted as idle caloric burning. but is in fact exercise burning.
muscles look good, fat not so much. (this isn't a joke) it means that staying the same in weight but turning it to muscle will make you look thinner (due to my first point) but despite that you *will* look better even if you gain that extra 15% in fat.
They didn’t say exercise was ineffective. They said specifically that exercise without a proper diet and without maintaining your usual physical routine (like taking the stairs instead of the elevator) is ineffective.
Yeah, the info they share is not against exercise, but against only relying on it. They phrase it and pack it click-baitely, though. I am a procrastinator, a depressive being with no conscientiousness and high neuroticism, but recently something clicked while managing that aspect of my life. I don’t exercise, but lost 12 pounds in two months of eating like a human. I’ll lose 27 pounds by November 21 if I stay eating healthy, according to my projections. I eat a lot of protein to stimulate muscle growth and would like to exercise eventually (just a little). Exercising is much more than a tool to lose weight, it makes you healthy, I know, but for my sickly and painful complexion could not be the main recourse to slim down.
I started January 2 of this year at 326.6 lbs, I have lost 30 lbs already. I know it isn’t easy, but I have been walking and running more, eating better (and trying to eat considerably less) you can do it!
Exactly well said, I didn't excercise vigorously, I was sitting 14 to 16 hours but was never more than 128 pouns but I was poor, now I'm ok and eat tons of junk and I'm 138
This video obscures two crucial points about health and exercise:
1) Your basal metabolic rate is under your control, and anaerobic exercise is how you control it. This video talks about exercise as if aerobic exercise were the only kind that counted. Anaerobic exercise (e.g. weight lifting, rock climbing, etc.) will add muscle, which will raise your resting calorie consumption.
2) Weight is not the primary health risk. Body fat percentage is the primary health risk. Weight is easier and more satisfying to measure. But the fast ways of losing weight all cause muscle loss, which will sabotage your basal metabolic rate. See point 1.
Good points! Weight loss tends to be the obsession in the US at least, when physical conditioning is far more important.
I maintain that you can't be truly physically fit and be at the "wrong" weight. But physical fitness is much harder to put an easily measured number on.

Nice points! Calisthenics and Weight training ftw
What you eat is the most important part of losing weight. If you eat unhealthy and exercise, you probably won't lose as much fat as someone who hardly exercise but eat healthy.
Right! I don't see why that's so hard for people here to grasp. Watching people from The Biggest Loser, and all these other workout-till-you-drop shows, regain their weight basically proved that. The best thing you can do to lose weight is eat clean and strength train to build muscle and tone. Research has been showing that for years. I used to be a cardio-head, which helped with heart health and endurance, but since it was weight loss I was after, I can't help but wish I had some of that time back.
***** it's even worse when people advise to start dieting but then tell them to hardly eat at all. You cannot simply drastically change your diet and expect change fast. Your body needs to adapt to the diet. It would be easier if you go into a diet slowly. Many people experience what is called yo-yoing. Going on a diet too fast and going off too fast and all their weight comes back.

yes.
They also completely miss out the point that exercises can increase muscle mass which can significantly increase your metabolic rate. Also the amount of energy required to recover muscles after exercise is huge (often referred to as the after burn effect). It’s isn’t true to say that our Basal metabolic rate is completely outside our control. Our control of it is limited by genetics true but we can take steps to increase our metabolism. One of the best ways to do that is exercise. I don’t know why they neglected to mention that.

Great video, thank for sharing this information to make healthier choices
From my experience this is very accurate report. My exercise is very light and yet I lose weight because I do not eat sugar or fast food or any other unnecessary food for my body. We eat to live not the other way around!

This story is accurate in it's basic premise about exercise and losing weight. But it's a story at 30,000 feet since it doesn't delve into how different types of exercise or diet can affect BMR.
I don't think the journalists know much about diet or exercise.
danL1011 the female correspondents tone sure makes it seem like she does which is really what prompted me to comment? She was even disdainful of the idea that exercise is an important part of weight loss.
I completely agree.Yesfitness happens in the kitchen but 30% for us to work with through exercise is a great deal more important than this video wants to let on. It's like guaranteeing a kid he'll make a 70 on the math test and encouraging him not to bother with doing any of it because he's already passed. C is average, america is becoming so painfully average.

I think rightly so. Eat less, move more doesn't work as shown in the Biggest Loser study.
Exercise is great for fitness and more muscle mass will raise your BMR. But the secret is proper nutrition. I would go so far as to say that someone wanting to lose weight (especially obese people) should probably NOT start on an exercise binge.
danL1011 for one im laughing inside that you cited the biggest loser , who encouraged participants to ride a stationary bike in a sauna and to dehydrate themselves before weigh ins as your scientific evidence. Secondly, you will NEVER get fit if you dont exercise, any fit person will tell you this. An obese person most likely has a dirt slow metabolism and very little muscle mass, unless they were once in some sort of shape. So increasing muscle mass through exercise will increase the BMR, which will burn more calories daily, which you NEED to be healthy, especially if you are obese.
Anyone saying exercise doesn’t help you lose weight is just too lazy to actually workout
It does but it's not the only thing that helps not overeating,eating healthy,drinking lots of water and being in a calorie deficit helps too
@@Blake-jz5bh Exactly. Calorie deficit is literally the only way to lose weight unless you get surgery
exercise actually keeps me sane. it reminds me why i should keep eating healthy
The point of exercise in going down on weight is to build and maintain enough muscle to burn the greater amounts of calories that you eat. It is the muscle not the exercise itself that makes you slim but you need the exercise to keep the muscle so in the end nothing much changes
you can still be very strong, with a ton of muscle, but still have a lot of fat
Just put yourself in a calorie deficit but make sure you eat enough protein so your body doesn't cannibalize your muscles instead of fat.
Yep. Look at NFL linemen. They're immensely strong, but also have a layer of fat too.

I was thinking those guys in strongmen competitions who lift massive tractor tires and logs
The truth is those strongmen and linemen really don't have that much muscle since they train for strength and not size. Compare the bodies of Olympic weightlifters with those of bodybuilders.
Weightlifters and linemen train for power which keeps their reps low, resulting in lots of strength due to nervous system adaptation, but not much muscle growth since the muscles aren't taxed.
Bodybuilders train specifically for muscle growth which keeps their reps in a moderate range, resulting in those muscles recruiting more fibers to the region to deal with the added stress of additional reps.
basically the trick here is, if you exercise for an hour, then eat shitty food, you suck
Sure you can, it just depends on how much you exercise or eat.
Not even that. It's not "shitty" food, but too much food, calorie-wise. Doesn't matter the kind, just watch the calories. "Shitty" food tends to be calorie-dense and engender strong cravings in people (by design), so that's the real problem to recognize and address.
No, its. Dont eat shitty food, then u dont have too run!
Every year some study will change what’s the most important way to lose weight and they don’t explain how simple it truly is. It’s calories in versus calories out everyone has their own way of losing weight. Mine was exercising and counting calories and I lost 80 pounds in a year. It’s about doing it slowly over time not making outrageous goals and staying consistent. If your way of losing weight is walking more and eating less and someone else’s is working out hard and eating more it doesn’t matter.
what ı am looking for is just this video. Thank you for every part of video.
