You cannot excercise your way to weightloss without also make serious diet changes.

people always say this but like, do you just think 50kg of fat is the same thing as 50kg of muscle?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

It's not, but without a diet change you're unlikely to convert fat into muscle like that.

I don't understand your point. It's possible to be healthy with or without excess muscle. It's not healthy to carry excess fat.
