We spend enormous amounts of mental energy thinking about types and combinations of calories, but not much time burning them. We pay huge signup and monthly fees to gyms that we never find the time to visit, meanwhile we never walk our streets.
- robchez 16y agoDiet >> Gym You burn a lot of calories in a day, the extra little you burn from exercise is moot if you are scoffing down the wrong food.
- georgieporgie 16y agoSo we agree, then, that a person should dramatically increase his or her activity level throughout the day (e.g. walk the streets). However, I'm going to nitpick and say that you're wrong about the gym. Currently, I burn about 1,000 calories on each trip to the gym, every other day. That's a 500 calorie deficit that I'm adding each day. In addition, my body is using additional calories to rebuild muscle, and the additional muscle is consuming calories to maintain itself. It's kind of like compounding interest.

- thebooktocome 16y agoThe gyms have an economic incentive to make people sign up, but not go to them. It's hardly a failure of people to want to go to the gym but stop, if the gym is purposely designed to be as boring as possible.
