Obviously you can kind of but its extremely difficult (for those pedantic commentators I foresee)

      Eh, I look at it more as who you’re going to be telling this to. Someone who is fat and starting exercise is never going to have the endurance to burn off their caloric intake. They need to reduce their caloric intake so that their body can physically handle exercise.

      But a lot of high caliber athletes have trash diets because caloric intake trumps nutrient needs. It is also the reason why a lot of athletes get fat if they stop exercising since they are used to the trash diets and can no longer burn it off.

        It depends on your timing. In 18 months, I went from obese to able to run 5km in under 20 minutes.

        And that’s exactly what happened to me when I got injured!

      But of course everyone knows what “bad diet” actually means

      I genuinely have no idea what you’re talking about

        5000 calories a day of any food, any reasonable person with absolutely barebone nutritional education knows this. Idk if everyone is just trolling that other dude or what’s happening.
