    I just didn’t gain weight all of my life until my 40s no matter what I did, so I think that’s just y/our biology.

    From what I’ve been hearing lately, exercise might not cause you to lose much weight. There was a kurzgesact video giving a vulgarisation about it anyway, so take that as you will.

    But exercise is still really really good for you, especially your mood. Just don’t count on it alone if you have other body goals

      Yeah, totally agree. It worked really well for me at first, but I think my body is used to it now and I need to diet.

      There’s a new theory going around that we age stepwise at 44, 60, and 78. Plus/minus a few years, individually, because biology is fuzzy.

      And exercise isn’t very good for weight loss. There’s about the same calories in a 15 minute run as a 12 oz beer or a 30 gram “serving” of potato chips.
