What the video didn't say is exercise benefits mental health in other ways such as improving sleep (because you're more physically tired), getting outside, joining a community (such as a sports club), and releasing endorphins! It's also an opportunity to feel proud of yourself for achieving something (like now you can do ten push ups when you couldn't do two before), and it's a form of self care. So you're signalling to your subconscious that "I'm taking some time for myself, because I'm worth the effort!"

@althelorАй бұрын

@ariwl1Ай бұрын
It's true. I learned this years ago reading fitness articles which pointed out just how few calories most forms of exercises actually burn. My hour workouts often wouldn't even balance out my lunch. About the only times I'd exercise and burn a ton of calories was when I was in college and played a couple hours of pick-up basketball on the weekends. And as the video predicted, once I was done on those days I'd usually go home and not do much of anything the rest of the day (and probably eat whatever I wanted). But while working out may not be as great for losing weight as we’d like, it is great for many other things. For example, many people in the world have trouble with back pain. While it can have many causes, the most common one is weak muscles. Strengthening my muscles by lifting weights did more for me in a few months than two years of stretching and going to a chiropractor did.

As someone living with chronic depression, it was cathartic in a weird kind of way to hear you put it as excersise "may ease depression". It always irks me when people online seem to claim that it mitidates it so well you might just be depressed *because* you don't work out enough. I can tell you through 25 years of experiences, "may ease depression" is a hell of a lot more accurate. When I'm in a slump a workout set can certainly make me more energized, but that doesn't always translate to my mood, and it doesn't always last very long. But for broad averages, there certainly is an upward trend when I've been better about remembering my workouts

I did my research. This video is a little bit misleading. Especially that part suggesting you can't lose fat by exercising, because no matter what you do, your calorie expenditure will stay the same (~ 2600 kcal for men). This is a bold statement and it is simply not true as such. You can check Caitlin Thurber et al, 2019. They measured energy expenditure among ultramarathon runners over a long period. Their expenditure at the beginning of the run was around 6000 kcal/day. After many weeks it was around 5500 kcal/day. It says two things: 1. The statement above is not true at absolute numbers (otherwise it would be again 2600 kcal, which is nonsense). 2. It seems, there really might be some adaptive processes in your body that lower the energy expenditure after some time to a certain extent. However, how much and why this happens is still quite unclear. This video is based mostly on two studies from Pontzer et al 2012 and 2016. The design of this study is quite weak and results are very limited. At the end of the study, they even state "... (we) did not examine the effects of imposing increased physical activity on Westerners ... and increased physical activity has been shown to play an important role in weight loss and weight-maintenance programs" So to wrap it up. *Some research* *suggests* that even when you exercise, your body *may* balance your energy expenditure *for some amount*, so it *may* happen that even if you are exercising, with the same calorie intake, you won't lose fat. So basically, if you start jogging for 30 mins every day or going to the gym twice a week, the rise in energy expenditure is not that significant + it may happen that your body will lower the expenditure somewhere else, so if you don't change your calorie intake, you might not get leaner. Btw this problem is usually referred to as an additive vs constrained model. Additive = every exercise adds to your basic level of expenditure. Constrained = when exercising, your basic level of expenditure lowers for a certain amount so the total expenditure stays on the same level. I suppose that the truth lies somewhere in between, but we still need to get more precise data through research. For those who are interested in details, I highly recommend reading a perspective from Gonzalez, J. T., Batterham, A. M., Atkinson, G., & Thompson, D. (2023)
@asiamies915329 күн бұрын
Your observation would be valid if they did "the run" regularly for months. The whole point is you need to do it consistently for a long time before the body adapts. The Hadzi people had done the ≈ 9 km walks for years and the western people had sat for years in the study group. You are just saying "no, that 2600 kcal is nonsense" while that's what they frigging MEASURED. Do you also argue against your scale when it says 200 lbs? Even then, it is obviously more complex than can be put into this one 12 min video that is designed for the general population.
@rimantasbudriunas441128 күн бұрын
The story in the video seems to be more like "so you start out a bit fat and start exercising a bit. Maybe you lose a bit of weight in the beginning, but quickly the body adapts to the new exercise level and the weight loss stops because energy for the exercise is reallocated from other systems, but mostly not from fat". This is a very different situation compared to ultramarathoners. A typical Westerner starting out a bit fat certainly cannot expend that much energy in exercise as an ultramarathoner (and probably should not). And, within the range of calorie expenditure by exercise consistently achievable to a typical slightly plump office worker, the assumption that typical calorie expenditure of 2600kcal/day will not vary significantly regardless of whether there is a little of exercise or none at all, may well hold.

Thanks for writing this comment better than I could. It's so obvious to anyone who has done endurance training that you must eat more to maintain your weight than you would if not doing endurance training. I do endurance cycling, which has the unique advantage of precisely measuring all the power I produce via a power meter. Yesterday I burned 3000kcal on my training ride. My BMR is 1500 kcal. In order to keep my daily caloric needs below 3000kcal, my BMR would have to adjust to below zero. It's mathematically impossible for me to have a maintaince calorie level of 2600. What this video tells me is that most people who exercise are doing fluff workouts. It's not really their fault; they're doing their best with the bad advice they've been given. I think the solution is to reallocate some of the creativity and dedication we put in work into exercise. It's not that complicated, but it's takes some study and dedication to understand how much and what to do. If everyone spent 10-15 hours per week on exercise starting from childhood, I believe obesity and diabetes would be largely eliminated, even without major changes to our diet.

I find it is very misleading to say that the calories consumed are almost identical, when Ponzter et al 2012 which is the source used to make that claim also presents that the weight of the Hadza population is around 60% of their western counterparts, which means they burn the same amount of calories cause they weigh a lot less. That means that you can lose weight until your calorie expenditure of the lower weight is equal to that which they had before refuting the main point of the video.

@@user-dc5pm9uw5c Yes, but, as I have said it would surprise me if a higher muscle ratio wouldn’t impact calorie burning - same as insulin effects as mentioned in the other comment. And after all do we care about our calorie balance? I don’t even care about my weight. I care about what I look like. And I dare to say so does anybody else. They just believe burning more calories than taking in will get them there. First I personally would like to have more belly muscles and second I would like to have less belly fat. No calorie balance will gain me any muscles. If I lost weight, my genetics would determine where I would lose weight first. Even if exercising my belly and gaining muscles would lead to losing fat, my body could be wired by genetics to burn fat from other parts of my body first. Yes, if listening carefully, they video doesn’t say „stop exercising, reduce calories“. And it refers to a video to come about the effects of reducing calories. But if not watching out for that you easily get the message to improve your figure you can stop exercising and just decrease calories. Anyway I personally am too lazy; my belly muscles will remain a wish. And as long as I fit into my current pants, I eat what tastes good to me. Within this range I just try to prefer healthy, quality food and try to avoid eating without being hungry.

But most people like me, spend years working out (9-10 for me) basically doing the same workout everytime with no change, because we aren't writting it down and increasing it everytime. I thought i will simply push myself to the max everytime and get there... well the body disagreed, i plateaued for ages.

This has actually kinda motivated me to exercise again. When I thought exercising was about losing weight it just wasn't that attractive of an idea to workout everyday to lose all of like 10lbs or something within a few months, but understanding its far more about just kinda making you feel better, I can get behind that.
@jordanledoux197Ай бұрын
Same. Thinking of exercise as some kind of budgeting exercise where I am trying to manage calorie usage has always made it feel so unsatisfying. But the perspective shift of, "no, the exercise itself will be satisfying. don't you feel a bit more relaxed and happy after being active?" is super motivating to me. For me personally, this shifts exercise from something where I'm not "getting my effort's worth" unless it feels awful, into something that has the MUCH more attainable goal of "just be active every day". And that also makes total sense to me. It also feels like it would be easier to go from that to the intense exercise if I ever wanted to build muscle. The idea that weight is almost entirely related to diet instead is a little more depressing, but again makes sense.

I only recently started exercising.. I kept hearing that it's great for anxiety and depression, which had become unbearable ever since I started working from home and maybe taking 200 steps a day. My body is screaming at me to move, and I was ignoring it. Since taking up jogging and just general low impact exercises around the house, my mood has increased dramatically, I've found the motivation to quit vaping, and my anxiety is in check. (Still happens, but not crippling like it used to be) You HAVE to keep moving!!

I’ve always thought exercise was more about how I feel than how much I weigh. I know plenty of big ppl who are still really fit, and plenty of skinny ppl who are in terrible shape. The important thing to me is whether I can enjoy my activities-walking, playing with the kids, biking, whatever-and as long as I’ve been exercising, I can. But if I have to stop for some reason (injury, illness), woof, it takes a while to get back.

I could go for a long walk but it feels like such a waste of time when I could take a bus instead to get to whereever I happen to be going towards. Lifting weights feels stupid. But when I do the walking with a friend, suddenly you can make several hours vanish by going on a 20-25km walk and not having a problem with it because at that point it's hanging out while going in a direction, not wasted time. It's difficult to keep up though when your friends aren't generally particularly active.

@@xBintu That's only true for a portion of the population. The rest of us have bodies that tell our brain to keep eating and put on fat in case there is famine. It's not something that willpower can easily overcome when it's as strong of a desire to eat as what the signaling chemicals in the body trigger. That's why appetite suppressants have been used for weight loss, but don't work because the body just moves to a new equilibrium of being even hungrier. The only solution for most of the population to maintain a healthy body fat percentage and weight is a combination of a balanced diet that covers all nutritional needs (fiber needs to be in here for most people), some exercise, and portion control to limit calories. To recover from when we have become overweight or have too high of body fat percentage takes medications in the same family as Ozempic to cut off the chemical signal that makes us hungry at the source. Nothing else has worked effectively.

One very important thing the video glanzes over is that the study also included Bolivian Farmers. A quote from the paper: "The greater energy demands of traditional farming lifestyles evident in this study (Fig. 1, 2) suggest that the adoption of agriculture brought with it an increased workload for Neolithic foragers". And looking at the figures it shows that the farmes do have a higher energy expenditure per kg of bodymass compared to the western test group. While the whole study is more or less statistical insignificant, if we really want to read from the data, it would suggest that the lower energy expenditure is most likely evolutionary. Meaning it can not be applied to the western civilization!

Chalking up chronic inflammation mainly to lack of exercise is misleading, though - it's mostly caused by regular old stress & pollutants / irritating chemicals. The takeaway should be to decouple getting more movement from the bullshit goal of looking thinner or stoping to treat that as the goal state. Goal-directed movement works a lot better than "exercise" - a great contributor to public health might be simply building cities in such a way that walking or biking to places is practical.

What is a fact, though, is that I now need a lot more calories per day than my friends who weigh 20kg less than me- because these 20kg are basically all calorie-burning muscle. I think that should‘ve been stated more clearly, because thanks to the muscles I have, I can everyday eat as much as I want without ever losing my sixpack. So, exercise is a way to maintain a slim body while being in a calorie surplus for other people.

EXCELLENT VIDEO !!! I am a brain scientist working at the intersection of movement, mental health and nutrition and can wholly recommend this video!! For people hunting for the answer "HOW TO LOOSE WEIGHT": Food, my friends, first control your food (type and portions). Then exercise moderate to high, whatever you can do almost daily. 25 minutes should be fine. Of course this is the simplified explanation. It is not completely fair to say that if you exercise then you would only "Rebalance" your energy expenditure. In my opinion the stages are : Fitness is a whole body concept not just visible physical one. Unfit human: No diet control + Exercise = The rebalancing starts to happen with weight loss Improved fitness: Some diet control + Exercise: Accelerated rebalancing with lesser harmful effects of extra energy in your body but NOT A LOT OF WEGHT LOSS Good fitness: Diet control + Exercise: Rebalanced and restored BUT NOT A LOT OF WEIGHT LOSS Great to excellent fitness: Your systems are tuned to correct levels, you are burning optimal energy for CORRECT REASONS IN THE BODY. Now you can push to loose weight. Then the extra work you put in will go in eliminating things from your body that it does not require: LEADING TO SIGNIFICANT VISIBLE WEIGHT LOSS.

Same. Doing even some basic weight exercises for 10 minutes every other day pretty much eliminated my back and neck pain: 1 minute pushups, 1 minute arm curls with dumbbells, and then 2 minutes rest, and repeat for 3 sets of exercise total. I later found I could skip the 2 minute rests, taking my exercise down to 6 minutes every other day and it was just as effective -- literally 20 minutes a week, even if it was not at all fun. To anyone sitting on the fence, give it a try with just the pushups! You'll be sore after the first 2 or 3 sessions, so be prepared for that, but you can do it. Note: I always stopped if I felt joint pain and would take off a few days or until it felt better. Muscle burn was okay, but joint pain signals something is wrong (at least for me). Talk with your doctor, etc, to find out the right exercise approach for you.

Great video, the only thing I miss here is that body composition does actually influence metabolic rate. More muscle burns more calories. That's why one should aim to train for hypertrophy (muscle mass) whilst making sure not to eat to much food. When you are overweight you don't want to lose the muscle you have, because it will become a cycle of losing weight (fat and muscle) and then gaining fat twice as fast because your metabolism went down the drain.

Adequate rest is important for getting over many illnesses! I wonder if this explains the seemingly-growing selection of auto-immune diseases that our people have?

Also, we are learning more and more about how both stress and hormones impact our weight and overall health. It's the easiest thing to say "just exercise more and eat better" when one doesn't know anything about other things going on in that person's body. Do they have PCOS and/or insulin resistance? Are their thyroids okay? Are they depressed and lack energy to cook and exercise? My husband is a vegetarian and does a loooot of exercise, while not overeating. I have hormone issues that took 25 years to be diagnosed and didn't use to exercise much due to lack of energy and pain and suffered from uncontrolled weight gain despite eating healthy. I got to hear it all about how I was just lazy, looking for excuses etc. and doctors wouldn't believe me either. Yet my husband is heavier than he wishes and can't seem to lose any weight. I haven't been able to lose any either, but my weight gain has stopped and I am starting to feel more energetic since I've started taking medications to help regulate my wonky hormones. This experience honestly helped him empathise more than anything else, because he now experiences firsthand how hard it is to lose weight even IF you exercise a lot. And how even sport and a good diet don't automatically equate weight loss. It may be easier for some, but not all and we'd all do well to keep in mind that we're all just humans doing our best.

Anecdote time. Once I got a job in highway construction after a long period of joblessness, where I essentially sat on my ass all day being depressed and playing video games. I wasnt fat, but I was terribly out of shape, and the job was: Wake up at 4 am, go out and pound sign posts so the roadwork had legal signage, then pound more posts for moving signage through the day, before collecting all the signage after everyone else called it quits, so we were the first out, last in, and to pound the posts, we used 16Lb sledgehammers. The work was to put it simply, brutal and beyond any workout I've ever done, full body high intensity workout after full body high intensity workout all day with maybe a minute to five minute breather. First two days I was okay, day three I woke up SORE. Like, every last little part of me hurt, i could barely move, but rather than let it beat me, I kept at it, and it was ridiculously hard, most other people would quit well before that point, but I pushed through. Day 7 I woke up, and I've never felt so incredibly good. No pain, pure energy, weirdly good mood, I was in the zone, and for the rest of the time i worked there I felt absolutely fantastic. To bring this to the point, theres value in a type of workout that only bears resemblance to anime characters, going not just till you fail, but again after a minute or two, then again, then again. It hurts, my god did it hurt, but if your will is stronger than your muscles, there's a prize at the end that just felt like living life properly. It felt like I was doing what my body was made to do and I'll never forget it. Also the money was insane, you bet we made overtime and double time, i made almost $12000 in 3 cheques at starting wage.
