Went to highschool with one of the "employees". Awesome guy.

Losing weight is mostly about your diet. Weight loss has very little to do with exercise although exercise has many other benefits when it comes to general physical and mental health. http://videosift.com/video/Exercise-is-NOT-the-Key-to-Weight-Loss

Okay that was a Conan cameo at the gym, yes? *quality

The human body being a closed system, if you burn more energy than you take in, you lose weight. It feels great when you're in that exercise routine.. or at least in retrospect, it feels to have been .. great..?

@dannym3141 I clicked on this video pretty much just to say that.

How to lose weight in 1 easy step: Eat fewer calories than you burn.

You can increase the number of calories you can eat by being more active, or lay around like a blob and just eat less. It works.

I stopped watching at step 2. Silly diet videos.

Gonna downvote.

ya, sort of. Way over simplified. For example, drinking orange juice is not a ton of calories, but all that sugar in your bloodstream spikes your insulin response and you suddenly become an efficient fat storing machine. (unless you just did a heavy workout in which case you become a muscle building machine if paired with protein.)

Also, when you work out correctly your base metabolism will be WAY faster than before, and calorie counting really doesn't matter much at that point. Only thing that matters is the quality and composition of the food. Low/no sugar, equal proportions of protein/fat/unrefined carbs. etc.


Also,

Love the Conan cameo! King of creepy;)

Weird, I just enjoy being a fat dude sitting all day long on his couch. I'm either severly broken or the happiest man on earth. I dunno.

This is a very depressing, borderline suicidal video.

Wait was that...Conan O'Brien?

The black and white bed scene was beautiful...I rewound it.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Loved this. I can relate as I've been on a year long health-jag.

That is exactly the wrong kind of thinking and the reason why so many people are obese these days.

It's just not that simple. All calories are not created equal. WHAT you eat is just as important as HOW MUCH you eat.

Sure if you burn a shit ton of energy, you can pretty much eat whatever you like, but most people don't do that much exercise.

If you have a limited time to exercise (and most people do), you will get a much greater effect by eating smart than by increasing your exercise.

Of course, the flip side to that is that losing weight doesn't make you fitter, just lighter.

Maybe I'm weird, but while all these people seem to struggle with old relationships and self-loathing, I simply struggle with the looming fact that I am ever so swiftly growing closer to the complete annihilation of self that is death.

They worry about who their Ex is seeing, I worry about my rational mind telling me that nothing exists (for me) after death so why bother with anything?

They try to salve their thoughts with the idea that they can improve if they work at it, while I try to desperately ignore all logical and scientific reasoning to try and have hope that there is some type of afterlife.

My 4 easy steps to losing weight:

1. Remove excess carbs
2. Drink lots of water
3. Exercise 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week
4. Realize that no matter what the fuck you do to lose weight, you are still going to die and, realistically, your weight doesn't matter as much as your overall health towards extending the date of your impending death sentence.
