| Doctor recommended against exercise Posted: 21 May 2021 05:29 PM PDT My wife recently went to the doctor for a general health check up and physical. While there, my wife inquired about getting more healthy and potentially losing weight (healthy weight already). What struck me as weird is that she told me the doctor advised against additional exercise and recommended to adjust her diet only instead. The reasoning behind this is that additional exercise would increase appetite and the calories burned wouldn't offset the potentially increased calories taken in. A quote she said, "go for a 45 min walk, burn 100 calories. Then go home and roast vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, which would consume the 100 calories right back". She also tried to get her to come back to prescribe some diet/fat burning pills which seems weird to me. Is this normal or recommended as a general consensus now? I was previously in the army, and exercise was drilled into me to for getting healthy (which makes sense). And it seems like common sense that good diet with the addition of moderate / plus exercise would outweigh the benefits to no exercise at all. Not to mention the obvious muscle building and cardio vascular benefits that come with regular exercise. Just trying to get a general opinion because the doctors recommendation seems silly. Or I might be wrong which I'm willing to accept as well. [link] [comments] |
