[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's crucial to understand that weight loss is a result of a balanced approach. While diet plays a significant role, exercise is equally important.
[b]Let's delve into the science of weight loss[/b]. Exercising is indeed beneficial, but it's effective in weight loss only when you maintain a caloric deficit, meaning you burn more calories than you consume.
It is true that you can't outrun the fork. So, why did I say exercise matters? If you eat 5000 calories, no exercise will matter, but if you are eating 2-2.5k calories, it matters a lot.
I can never lose weight just by eating less; it is not sustainable for me. I do 45 minutes of fast walking at 4.5 miles an hour and start losing weight immediately. But I do not start adding calories.
Once you have muscles, you will burn more fat just by sitting around. I weigh around 122 lbs, and I can go up to 130 lbs; in order for any weight to move at my age and weight, I have to reset my body. This means I have to eat a lot for a few days to tell my body to keep burning the calories. Then I added exercise, and then I start eating less.

I am 53, and all I am trying to do is lose a few pounds in my stomach. It is not as easy as it was when I was 40 or 30. But when I add the 45 minutes, it is a huge difference in losing a few pounds. I think it should be an even bigger difference for a person who is actually overweight.

I'm trying to figure out how she walks 4.5 mph. I can do 4mph and feel like I might as well be running.[/quote]
I am a really fast walker, and I always was. Not very tall, 5'4"; if I get winded, I will lower it to 4.3, never less. I can't run well at all, but this is comfortable for me. I have a PFO, and I know people say it makes no difference, but running will get me sick, and my breathing is impaired, even if I try to run at the same pace I fast walk.
I do remember thinking how my sister was walking super fast. She told me she went 5 km per hour! It surprised me since she was never athletic, was sickly as a child, and was excused from all PE. Well, she is in Europe; she means 5 km per hour!
I do remember, prior to COVID, seeing people run at 4 miles per hour, and I was always wondering how they could run so slowly. I am a bit hyperactive. I spent my childhood and young adulthood walking and walking and walking back in Europe. Even now, if I travel to Europe, I will always walk from one site to another, and others will not.
My sister and I walked from Via Veneto to Vatican City without thinking much of it when young.[/quote]
