Yes. Like multiple hours a day lot. That's why it's a "myth". It takes an amount of time, effort, and focus, that isn't particularly reasonable for I'd say almost all people.
Fundamentally, I agree with you that it's possible: I pretty much did it myself with ~12 hours of hard cycling a week, but I just think your take is wrong because it basically boils down to nitpicking "myth".
- colechristensen 1y agoWe live in an age where some people will say they're not lying as long as what they said has the vaguest association with the truth. Let's not contribute to that. People in these threads are arguing aggressively this "myth" is not at all possible when the truth is lots of people experience it, including yourself. Let's not dilute the meaning of the word "myth" to mean "its somewhat difficult". A unicorn is a mythical creature from fairy tales, this doesn't mean the same thing as "the zoo with a unicorn exhibit is a few hours away and pretty expensive". This isn't some nitpick of a minor detail better described with slightly different wording. It's people passionately arguing a common experience is impossible.

- lucyjojo 1y agoit's not "merely difficult". it's impossible for vast swathes of the population. if i wanted to lose weight through exercising i'd have to be an absent father. well technically i can i guess. fasting is simply way better and easier. for many folks exercising is good to get healthy, not to lose weight.
