Fitness and nutrition are those kinds of topics that no one ever agrees on. Everyone thinks their way is the "right" way, as exemplified by the enormous number of unique replies to this thread. This could be attributed to the ignorance of the commenters, or that everyone just finds different things work for them. It is probably a combination of both, with an emphasis on the former.

Unique replies? Sure, there are some, but reading through them I'm seeing the following themes over and over and over: * Exercise more (mostly walking more/treadmill desk, weightlifting, and biking). * Eat better food (less sugar/carbs, more, veggies, and less red meat) * Get enough [quality] sleep. * Get an active hobby. (Wide range of suggestions, but no one saying "this is the one true hobby"--just, "find one you enjoy--I like this one.")

Not only are they repeated here again and again, they're so widely agreed upon that I think most people would have been able to accurately guess that they'd be the most common responses.

The two main benefits here that people are giving specific methods to try (we all know we should exercise, but here are people listing ways of doing so that fits their desk-job lifestyles), and they're inspiring us to try a few of these things. (e.g., I've long know I needed to improve my sleep, and people here have inspired me to put more effort into ensuring my sleep is uninterrupted.)

The original question is "what are you doing" and people are giving their personal responses. Almost none of them are saying their way is the right way for everyone. I don't think you can blame the ignorance of the commenters for anything here.
