Jacob Riis Beach hosts the day of body positivity and fun, in the city at the heart of the fat acceptance movement
Fat Beach Day events are springing up across the US in an effort to fight back against fat-phobia, reclaim safe spaces for the community and honor plus-size culture. Today, one of these celebrations is being held to coincide with Pride month at Jacob Riis Beach in New York, a location deeply ensconced in the city’s activism space.
yes, but they’re still right. Of course CICO (Calories in, Calories out) is a thing, but the Calories out part (e.g. exercise) does not have as much leverage as he calories in part.
it’s just so very easy to take in thousands of calories in 1-2 hours (think burger, fries, milkshake and alcoholic drinks). On the other hand, most people will struggle to burn more than say 800kcal/hr - and that’s why we say weight is gained or lost in the kitchen.
If you’re going to get that pedantic about it though, you may as well say weight is lost in the bathroom.
It’s a matter of scale, that physical activity moves energy usage maybe 10 to 15 % during the exercise compared to sitting still. However, there’s a lot of reasons to exercise for the sake of your pancreas and heart.
Besides, 84% of weight lost is by breathing it out, so not technically the bathroom.
Sure, but trying to lose weight without exercise is still hard mode. I’ve done it with and without the exercise part.
