Hey
@TRIIICK as
@Wrecka said it burn more than you put in. In the end a calorie is a calorie (4.2 kilojoules) if you burn the same amount as you put in, weight will stay the same. The focus is best aimed in two key areas. One is intake if you put good fuel in your bike because it performs better, then its the same for humans. 1kg of body fat equals about 33600kj or 8000cal. So if we dont change our diet and eat the same amount you would need approx 42 thirty minute training sessions per week to lose 1kg. Not gunna happen. So my point is intake control is critical. Two is, we need exercise as
@Wrecka said exercise incuding resistance based training with light cardio will increase you fat burning potential. Muscle is where we burn fat. By training muscle we increase the mitochondrial density allowing the body to burn fat more efficiently. In a basically healthy person who is clear to undertake exercise, extended light cardio preffably working up to 20minutes at 80% of max Heart rate is also very effective for burning body fat at a ratio of 50/50 fat/glycogen. Lot more to it than that but thats the basics. My suggestion is find a reputable trainer/guide with quals and experience to get set on the right path. Also worth getting clearancefrom yiur Doc to start exercising. I think its worth thinking about. I work in medium risk rehab so I have the privilege of helping people every day. All the best with it.
