So if you’d watch the movie you’d learn that you won’t burn much more calories when you start exercising, perhaps at first but the body rebalances until it’s back on budget. Your body keeps that, they say for some evolutionary reason, very constant.

It sounds paradoxical but I know people struggling with their weight and to them it must sounds like a very good explanation.

So perhaps first change your diet and don’t exercise? It’s less healthy but it’s more effective for weightloss.

Three times you’ve alluded to not watching the video.

It’s Kurzgesagt. It’s as much of a reliable source in general as the NY Post intern is a reliable source on astronomy. To me anyway.

More like a research paper if you go by the references [0].
