[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One cookie is around 130 calories, running one mile on average 10 minutes per mile, depending on a person, you might burn between 80-120 calories. So, a mile per cookie, walking it will take 20 minutes on average. People seem to fail understanding just how few calories are burned by a person who does moderate exercise per week. People who say they eat anything they want, but exercise and that is enough to be slim, are either on a Biggest Loser or working our 8 hours per day, or they actually do not eat that much at all. Notice how every pp here said, "I eat pretty much what I want," and then add how little they eat in reality.[/quote]

"eat whatver I want" means different things to different people. Some people want to have a couple of cookies a day, and that fulfills them, with an otherwise balanced and active lifestyle. Some people want to eat a entire pizza and bacon and a pint of ice cream every day, and that's going to be harder to maintain with a healthy weight/frame.

I "eat whatever I want" in moderation, and I have my own interpretation of that, which is closer to the former - a little dessert or indulgence every single day. Exercise is proven to raise your resting metabolism - so you continue burning a few extra calories even when you're just sitting at a desk or on the couch. It affords me to eat an extra 500-700 calories a day, and not gain weight, which is awesome for me! It also boosts confidence and overall, helps my body frame look better than if I were just "skinny."

I do not have a magical metabolism (having been previously obese), but I am easily able to live and eat without feeling deprived, through a mindset of moderation. Different strokes for different folks. [/quote]
