5 to 10?

Really?

5 to freaking 10???

Guess you haven't done any exercise in a while buddy!

Compared to controls without exercise, aerobic training was consistently found to be effective on weight loss, which was not the case for resistance training.7

Funny how it has an impact on weight loss even though, based on what you're saying, exercising barely increases your caloric expense.

Above bass rate metabolism, yes. They didn't adjust the data for that and you didn't bother to consider what was being said to you.

I hit the gym regularly, pal! Even then, me going or not has no bearing on this. Youre just being silly now.

This is just hilarious. If you look at reference 7, what they're quoting, you'll see its about stopping muscle atrophy in people in people on calorie reduced diets. They used resistance training to keep the weight up, via stopping muscle atrophy.

And, again, you choose to ignore the bits you don't like:

...Although the effect on weight and fat loss is of relatively small magnitude.

Like I said, its little to no effect. Its just BS pushed by food lobby groups and people who don't understand bio chem.

2400 calories a day, that's 100 an hour

I don't know the speed at which you jog but at 6 miles an hour let's say 600 calories an hour based on what I shared so you're telling me that what you believe is that the real impact is 5 to 10 per mile instead, let's be generous and it's actually 60 calories that those 6 miles added to your energy expenditure so that's 540 calories burnt during that hour (base metabolism as you said) + the 60 extra from the exercise.

Are you implying that your energy usage per hour now goes

2460 for the day, 600 burnt in an hour, 1860 for the rest of the day so you're suddenly burning 80 calories an hour the rest of the day instead of 100 like you would if you didn't exercise? You realize how this makes no fucking sense and there's no reputable sources that would agree with you?

"I hit the gym regularly pal!" Yeah, and you're falling for gym bro science buddy.

Again, not 100 calories above bass rate. Its not hard. You just have to accept that you're fundamentally wrong, as the data shows. I'll make it easier, its not 100 calories over what you burn, just to stay alive.

Based on the data you completely misssunderstood, we could "prove" almost anything. Unless you can show the part where they controlled for peoples base rate metabolism, they didnt control for it.

Pretty much, thats why the only data that you think agrees with you had to be wildly misread. We are incredibly efficient at moving while preserving energy, hence the whole persistence hunters thing you keep trying to ignore, despite its obvious effects on our metabolic pathways and this discussion.

Lol, so, if I don't go to the gym, I don't know how excersise works but if I do, I'm only speaking gym science. Youre hilarious! You didn't even know what glycogen was. Behave yourself. I know you didn't because all the people that do know what it is don't beleive the baseless old wives tale you beleive. I won't go any deeper than gymbro science because you clearly can't understand anything deeper than that.

Let's pretend you weren't wildly misreading what they said, even then, this is about weight loss and inducing fat metabolising pathways. Youre struggling on the calories part alone and we haven't even got the the metabolic pathways that also don't agree with you.

Theres a reason you had to reach so far and look so long for something you had to misread, in order to argue you point.
