  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Welcome to the workout paradox!
Let’s dive into the science of how your body actually handles calories and sabotages your best efforts to burn them..."

Um….yeah..ok.
I lost over 40 lbs in the last 14 months just by walking and biking my dogs more. It was simple. I did not curtail my other activities like he thinks people do, or change my diet much (maybe a bit less candy, but still candy).
I always ate fairly well without a thought to calories, that hasn’t changed.
According to him, I shouldn’t have lost any weight…but I sure have.
Let’s hear the explanation Kurzgesagt!

I say what works for you works. Don’t listen to people saying it doesn't. I’m back to or below my high school weight, and have never dieted.
For me the thing is consistency. I already did lots of yard, tree, farming work, near daily…and still do, but that’s inconsistent as exercise. Dogs need a (long) walk daily, no matter what, so I get more exercise every day without fail, burning fat every day, and 420 days later there’s little fat left.
