    Playing wow while cycling is a level of multitasking even adhd people would struggle to pull off.

      Think less “Tour de france” and more “sunday boardwalk cruise” just trying to not let the pedals stop moving.

        Yep, you don’t have to go ham to lose weight, or even get fit.

        Be strict with your calorific intake and you can lose weight just by sitting on the couch.

        Losing weight is easy, it’s just a question of will power. I have sympathy for people with significant mental or health issues, but most of them are just fucking weak and would rather eat a tub of ice cream than have a nice/healthy body.

        No one wakes up fat, it happens over time after countless poor decisions.

        Edit: it’s funny how I was mostly upvoted in this thread and then as America woke up it swung to mostly downvotes. It’s relieving to know that the UK still has some way to go before we and up as fat and as helpless as the average American.

          A healthy diet is more than just not eating unhealthy food. It’s about having the right balance of nutrition and that’s quite difficult in our world. Especially if you don’t have a lot of money. Or have other dietary restrictions.

          Also no one wants sympathy they just want you to not be an arrogant prick.

          Something that took me a while to realise is that you don’t necessarily need to be eating rubbish food to gain weight, just too much. I think there’s this stereotype of the guy chugging down sugary drinks all day with his greasy burgers in between handfuls of sweets, but that’s not the case for most people.

          What was a big help for me was getting a food scale, and working out what size portions I should be eating - particularly for carby things like rice and pasta I found I was way off on my estimates of what a decent serving should be.

          I don’t know why people are downvoting you. I feel the essence of what you said is true. I am weak and that is why I put on a lot of weight. Not because I didn’t exercise. But because I chose to eat tasty shit over healthy shit.

        It depends on the activity. I can’t exercise or clean unless I’m watching TV or YouTube. But I’ve tried the whole exercise while gaming thing, and it doesn’t work for me at all. Listening to audiobooks while doing literally anything else is also impossible.
