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

    Yeah, but the saying is usually told to fat people. It is very unlikely that a fat person has enough endurance to burn 4,000+ calories a day via physical activity.

      It’s still possible to build up endurance even while fat, if you never got completely sedentary or if you take the time to build it back up. But if you’re too fat there comes a point where physical activity starts becoming dangerous without proper guidance - and if you have that then you’re probably looking into your diet too.
