    Exactly this, like obviously you should exercise, but when it comes to losing weight it’s really the diet that matters most.

    I actually, within the span of about a year, went from 280 to 179 lbs through diet alone, I literally did no exercise. I’m 6’ btw.

    Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t exactly recommend that, without exercise you’ll also be losing tons of muscle. But my point is that diet is incredibly powerful.

      It’s the diet only in the sense that if you’re not careful you will just eat the extra that you’re burning, but if you keep eating the same and start being active when you weren’t, we can say that it’s being active that made you lose weight.

          Input stays the same

          Output changes

          Me: “What changed? The output.”

          You: “Sure, your can convince yourself of that”
