I've exercised at low and high intensities for years. Whether it's hiking, biking, running, yoga, or weights, exercise is an INCREDIBLY inefficient way to lose weight.
It does however promote muscle growth/stability and heart function when done properly.
If you are looking to lose weight and greatly improve your health and longevity, eat one meal per day. Seriously. I have lost 40 pounds like this and now I have excellent kidney function (it used to be bad), normal cholesterol, no athsma, no sleep apnea, and a very healthy BMI.
The secret is restoring the proper function of insulin in your body, which is a very powerful hormone that can cause weight gain and cardiovascular inflammation when not properly controlled.
The Western diet of 3 meals per day, of virtually any type/size, is bad for insulin function.
Conversely, even a Western diet of any type/size, when eaten in one sitting per day (fasting 23 hours otherwise), has been incredible for my health.
