If you're building a house or something 12 hours a day, you're going to burn that much.
- rootusrootus 4y agoI don't buy that. We've studied cultures where everyone works really hard all day. Their metabolism adjusts pretty well and functions at a level not too different from the rest of us.

Anecdotally, I know a retired guy who's been constructing a gymnasium sized $150K play tube structure for the past month, and he's lost like 25lb.
- bergenty 4y agoWhat is a play tube because it makes me think of those structures that kids play in at McDonalds and something like that couldn’t possibly cost $150K.
- sgtnoodle 4y agoYes, it's something like that. I imagine the cost is proportional to the size and complexity of the particular setup? The company quoted $20k just to install it, which is why my acquaintance is volunteering to do it.
