I’ve read a lot of conflicting arguments about exercise in the context if weight loss.
In favor:
- regulates mood, which could stop emotional eating
- increases TDEE with muscle mass
- might regulate appetite*???
- obviously burns calories, (1200kcal/day by cycling instead of driving, at my weight)
Against:
- increased appetite to compensate
- ”eat away the gains”
- might lower NEAT to compensate
- takes time (bicycles are S-L-O-W)
- makes you hot, sticky and gross
- studies show it makes no difference to weight loss
- skin damage from sun, if outdoors
What are everyone’s thoughts? Obviously exercise is “good for you”, but will it make me thinner, faster. Is it too fast? When I have my bingeing under control I can eat 1200kcal without my blood sugar crashing and the subsequent hanger. My TDEE without exercise is around 2400kcal. Bicycle commuting burns supposedly 1200kcal. So I could lose 4.8lbs a week.
Rule of thumb for safe (no gallstones) weight loss:
2lb/week (kinda dumb, doesnt take into account how fat you are)
1% body mass/week (2.6lbs for me), doabke *without* exercise.
6% bodyfat mass/week. (2lbs a week for a healthy 18% bodyfat adult is about 6% of BFM) My bodyfat is about 45%(!!!), measured by BIA scale, so bodyfat mass is about 117lbs(!!!!!), so I could lose up to 7lbs a week safely. That amounts to 5 days of cycle commuting WHILE fasting 7 days a week, AND an extra 210kcal of exercise every day.
tl;dr will exercise, specifically road cycling, make me thinner, faster, without getting gallstones?
