[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working out is great but still, weightloss is about 80% diet and 20% exercize.

“You can’t out-exercise a bad diet" :)

Where do you get this number from? The percentage?[/quote]
Indeed, where are actual facts for this? We are not talking about your arteries and other health issues, but about weight. If I eat Five Guys today and then exercise for five hours and hard core, I bet you I can out-exercise the possible weight gain.[/quote]

You may google it if you really want to know.

As to eating 950-calories meal and then exercising for 5(!) hours - if you have so much time and stamina then sure, you can burn those calories. No one says you can't. But people usually don't exercise for so long.

However, if you want to not just burn the calories you consumed but also to lose some weight you'd then have to exercise for one or two hours more - just to create a calorie deficit. 6 or 7 hours is a lot of exercising.

Again, exercising is great for so many reasons, it's just not a main tool for weightloss. And of course, using both is the best.

There's an excellent table in this article that shows exactly why: https://www.womenshealthmag.com/weight-loss/a19982520/weight-loss-80-percent-diet-20-percent-exercise/[/quote]
