I'm 25% body fat so I better start acting like it. That's what the BIA scale says. Obese.
Been trying out different things. If the machines aren't lieing, the elliptical is by far the easiest way to 'burn calories'. Stair machine seems the fastest.
Weighted vests can be used with a stair machine but even with an elliptical the bouncing motion causes the weight to double down on your shoulders. Made my shoulders hurt for like 25 minutes afterwards. Stair machine doesn't do that.
Weight vest will allow 300 calories to take 21 minutes instead of 24 on the elliptical... Stair machine can do this without the vest in 21, I believe 18 with the vest?
600 calories at "tier 2 cardio" aka brisk walk / slow stair climb cardio is not hard to do. You can basically do it indefinitely. However it just takes time.
I have actually been switching to a low carb diet! Going to give it a try. It seems the system just wants to maintain a 25% body fat ratio... So it seems the only way to stop this is just stop giving it what it needs to produce fat, keep a deficit then otherwise force it to use fat.
We'll see what works... I'm just trying to do something that's never been done before for me for the interest of it. So willing to do unsustainable stuff for even up to 6 months to see if anything works.
