I interpreted, "This isn't the place." To be in regards to the stupid Nazi Joke. Regardless of whether or not I like it, dude does have the freedom to say his piece.
if u dont have abs by default then calorie deficit is far more important than training abs to get them. unfortunately, many ppl store fat in their ab area so even losing fat might not be enough
Yeah your body is an incredibly efficient machine and will adjust itself to your activity and diet pretty quickly. You need to be (not) eating a big enough deficit that your body has no choice but to use itself as energy. The amount of energy your body uses doing even extreme physical activity is pretty laughable compared to your baseline metabolism to stay alive. Ultimately you can’t pump your way to losing weight without serious changes to your diet.
You’re right and wrong at the same time. “Weight” loss and gain is strictly calories in vs calories out. But you’re so wrong about physical activity burning barely more than your metabolic baseline…especially as somebody who does hard physical labor for a living, like me.
But yes, weight change does require a diet change, depending on your goals. Where those calories come from doesn’t matter when it comes to your actual weight.
But to say exercise makes a laughable difference is absolutely ridiculous. It literally shifts the balance of calories in/calories out, and by quite a bit depending on how much you do.

Scientifically speaking physical activity has a limited effect on weight loss. I respect your experience but our science on energy usage has shown that people who exercise don’t lose any more weight, because while they use more energy in their exercise their bodies become more efficient because they’re improving their cardiovascular health. People who do over 7 hours of hard aerobic exercise WERE found to have very minor improvements in weight outcomes over those who didn’t but 5 pounds over 8 months for 240 hours of work is absurd.
Multiple times at the end when speaking of maintaining weight loss it clearly states that more exercise has a better outcome…
And the science is simple, calories in/calories out. Which can be adjusted 2 ways; more exercise or physical activity or change in diet.
Also overall it seems they use an hour a day. I do manual labor for 10-14 hrs a day when we have our regular season. You’ve got guys who start the season in April at 200 lbs that will drop to 165–170 in 7 months. I typically drop about 35 lbs every season, and actually make it a point to put it back on in the winter (I’m into powerlifting).
I can say from experience I have to eat significantly more when I’m working than I do otherwise.
i actually do! i know that "fast metabolism" actually means low appetite/good muscle building/low fat storing genetics, but i am not a prick so i dont correct people!
No one has the metabolism to truly eat like shit and have abs. It just doesn’t differ that much. It doesn’t even really slow down as we age, we just usually slow down.
Whenever someone says you can’t outwork a bad diet I laugh, they’ve never met my buddy who goes out for “a light 10 mile jog” very often. Dude probably runs 2 half marathons a week lol
If you lift weights and do average cardio you need to make them abs in the kitchen
They do... My ex husband was one! He always had abs and absolutely always ate like shit barely ever worked out until he joined the military. They have noW diminished with age of course. But younger years he was rock hard and it didn't matter what he ate or did. Laziest sob until he joined lol.
He didn’t eat enough to get fat and he was active enough
I’m just saying usually these stories usually if someone gave me literally what they ate during that time in their life and their activity level, it explains it.
He ate crappy chilli dogs from gas stations , got high a lot drank a lot of alcohol and ate more chilli dogs, Doritos etc. seriously he ate a lot. I couldn't believe it lol! It's just how he was. It wasn't until later in life after leaving the military when he started to gain a little weight and lose his abs.
Idk if it means much but he was also 6'7 but trust me the way he smokes he ate a shit load of junk.
Idk he eats the same now.... Does the same now, actually he is more active now than he was back then. As he works more and has a job that demands harder labor. ( Except while he was in the military) And he has put on more weight now. We are still great friends we've known each other since grade school. And he is def still smoking the same if not more lol!!
That’s basically me, all I eat is the bar food at my job and I burn everything else so I stay pretty skinny at the same time I exercise too but not often
