Can you lose weight if you don't exercise?


(Jane) #61

So you lived your life with a good diet and exercise and do not specifically follow keto…

And you are here … why?

The OP never said anything about diabetes - her question was simply could she lose weight w/o exercise and plenty of people here assured her she could because they had.

To browbeat folks for being lazy gluttons as best I can make out.

I do follow Keto and recommend it to certain people. I came across this forum and joined. I do not post much because I do not have any questions and at this point not much need to post. I come on here once and awhile and read a little bit. I am not here for support. If I find something new about Keto that’s good. The point about exercise is that Keto is part of a lifestyle and people can start some form of exercise at any age. People who know nothing about exercise should not be intimidated by a post about it. Some guy on here is whining about “idiots on this forum and moderators not doing anything” He should start exercising and not sit on forums all day.

What does your post have to do with a 67 year-old woman asking is she can lose weight w/o exercising???

Can you possibly relate to her question or are you so self-absorbed that you think your experiences relates to hers?

I’ll probably get flagged for this but I don’t care. [spoiler]Fuck off, then. Your input is not needed. [/spoiler]

Well said :+1:

Exciting thread! :rofl::rofl: My husband had to work today - not that I’m a huge Christmas type person to begin with. But - Now that’s entertainment!! With all my favorite people.

Yes, you can mute individual users. Go into settings, then there is a block feature.

Spot on.

If ANOTHER perfectly good thread gets closed just it has an idiot infestation from an obvious troll, or someone has a tanty and threatens to quit, I’m going to go spare. Problems need to be dealt with, not the issues they cause.

A keto diet is about correcting hormonal behavior and healing the body. Weight loss is just a part of it if you choose it to be. It can also be used to maintain weight and health.

You talkin bout me?


(Empress of the Unexpected) #72

Oh dear, I had to read this like six times. It sounds like the entire text of my real estate re-licensing classes.


(Running from stupidity) #73

Nope. Although you did do that :slight_smile:

Thread was closed last week (or the week before) because someone - shamefully, an Aussie - threatened to quit (which was hardly a new behaviour type for that poster) so the nuclear option was pulled and the perfectly good thread was closed. It’s not a helpful way to do things on a forum, which by its very nature is designed to promote discussion.

Ok, so upstairs washing machine goes on the fritz. Forget the flood - figure out why it went on the fritz. Have I got this?


(Empress of the Unexpected) #75

Three times, if I recall.


(Running from stupidity) #76

Nope. Deal with the mess, then fix the root cause, don’t just seal off the room.


(Running from stupidity) #77

You’re consistent!

As an aside to @juice - don’t you regularly walk for exercise? I see your photos posted in the thread dedicated to daily walks that you created.

To the original question, which has been answered dozens of times - you can probably lose MORE weight from dieting without exercise. However, you are losing both fat and muscle (and perhaps even bone). Most people want to lose fat, not weight. Doing some exercises while dieting can help minimize or avoid muscle loss, even though that may actually slow numerical weight loss.

I personally choose to get some light endurance exercise by walking 2 - 3 miles, 3 or 4 days a week, and do some body-weight and light weight lifting, 2 - 3 days a week. I am not doing this to speed weight loss, but to try to retain muscle mass so that the weight I do lose is mostly fat loss.


(Empress of the Unexpected) #79

Do you really believe threads are closed because people threaten to quit? I’m not sure I agree with you. I think it is more abusive behavior and name-calling. Which causes the person to quit.

You win in the logic category, yet again.
