I agree with you but this is not logical:
> I want to run around with my kids, go to the gym (I enjoy my time there), jog and play soccer (twice a week). I like being active and my life would be much poorer if I had to give it up just to stay at a "healthy" weight.
Running around with your kids and playing soccer doesn't increase your weight, it decreases your weight (unless you have zero muscles and zero fat). That woman was probably not trying to decrease her weight, she was trying to decrease the amount of calories she had to consume.
And do you think that 110lbs at 5'6'' is extraordinarily low? Seems pretty normal to me.
- scott_s 16y agoWhat he said is logical. In order to not lose weight while doing those activities, he needs to eat more calories than if he was not doing those activities. In other words, people who are active eat more. If you want to eat less, you need to be less active.
- jules 16y agoYes, I see, you're right. I wrongly assumed that he meant not becoming heavier with maintaining weight, but he meant not becoming too thin.
