    I know a dude who did this with a standing desk and an exercise bike when WOW was huge and he put on 20kg in a year.

        • Well, it becomes unrealistic at some point. Consuming calories is sooo much easier than burning them. I think that’s the basic message. Losing weight is mainly controlled by what you shove into your feeding hole. Of course doing sports is essential for a healthy life, so you should absolutely do that too.

            Yeah I’ve been losing weight recently, and a 5k Run burns about 500-600 calories for someone my size. That’s a shit load of effort, and not something an overweight person is likely able to do every day. But 600 calories is like a single big mac (just the burger). There’s only so many calories you can reasonably burn in a day, but there’s practically no limit to how many you can eat (none that you’re likely to find without making yourself sick at least)

        Lots of people eat more because they’re more active and end up gaining more weight. It’s really surprising how efficient the body is
