Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
In that particular instance, I’d say it’s absolute bullshit, because it contradicts everything we know about exercise and energy expenditure.
As an example, have a look at what a top athlete eats when they’re training, they’re often eating more than twice the amount a regular person will.
How would you explain this?
To not answer the question you posited, and instead look a the assumptions in your statement. The book goes into the specifics.
There are examples sited, to scientific articles in highly respected journals that show this effect. I also know of plenty of people who go to the gym and yet are not loosing weight, anecdotal I know, which point to the fact that exercise does great things for the body but burning fat isn’t one of them.
Over the long term energy in vs energy out will cause weight loss, however the short and long term act in vastly different ways.
