A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

Fascinating take from Kurzgesagt (which I haven’t DYORed further).

TL;DW: your body burns roughly the same daily amount of calories whether you are active or not, based on your preset metabolism.

Working out has plenty of benefits, including cardiovascular health and lower inflammation, but losing weight by burning vastly more calories isn’t really one of them.

Dieting correctly (caloric intake) is key for that

a lot of people are probably doing harm to their body by punishing it too much. there's got to be a balance.
