Put a morbidly obese person on a treadmill for a solid hour, and they'll likely spend a fair amount of time in zone 4-5. Walking is excellent exercise for some, not so great for others. Generalizing here is pointless.
- bravetraveler 2y ago> Generalizing here is pointless Comment sections summarized excellently in four words. None of this was presented as universal truth, so I'd appreciate some leniency like I'm giving to you My post provided a personal anecdote. What does yours have? Criticism we'd all be better off without. It's clear the effect exercise had on me, it was keeping my eating in check. I can do that too at intake. I didn't even need a miracle drug. I just stopped eating so much, but here I go slipping into moral judgement. I'm trying to help people, not reinforce a lifestyle.
- spudlyo 2y agoApologies for my rudeness, I'm afraid I let a pet peeve get the better of me. I often read health and wellness content on Reddit. There you'll find highly ranked comments expressing opinions such as "you should never eat below 1200 calories", or "walking on a treadmill burns a pittance of calories". In my opinion, these sorts of observations are uninteresting at best, and misinformative at worst. Hacker News, as you may well know from your nearly three year comment history here, is a place where detail and nuance are roundly appreciated.
