Another Fan Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 It might be more of an exercise thing. The average person only walks when going to the bathroom and flexes their muscles when texting or in my case posting on TBD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see fat people walking all over the place! TV vs. Sleep thing. You burn more kcal per hour sleeping than watching TV. And what do people do while watching TV... Shoveling their pie hole! GOOD R.E.M sleep gets no respect. Sleep is everything, a lot are in a sleep deficit. Edited March 26, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to have that to throw back in the faces of the ones that will inevitably shame my sleeping behaviors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a 200 # person burns 100 kcal/hour. 75 kcal/hour watching TV. Of course, when is sleeping, they aren't snacking too! They are sleeping! I have been working swing for almost 30 years. About 25 were 0800-1600, 1600-2400, 2400-0800... Changing every week... Now... 0600-1800 & 1800-0600... With a 4 week mixed up rotation... I find I am sleeping and eating normal. Before, I was either sleeping, eating, working... Or doing all three at once! Of course I lost the weight, but keeping it off! It's all about timing... Sleeping goes hand in hand with eating. The data is out there somwhere. Cruise the health forum... I think there are links there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi is the fattest state. Tennessee is 3. Arkansas is 4. Louisiana is 5. According to a 2014 study by the CDC the average American man is 5'9.2" and 195.7lbs. The BMI of the "average man" is then 28.7. Same study puts the average American woman 5'3.7" and 168.5lbs. The BMI of the "average woman" is then 29.2.

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/26/health/lose-weight-where-does-it-go-partner/index.html You breathe out most of your weight loss. Why quality sleep is important. "The good news is that you exhale 200 grams (7 ounces) of carbon dioxide while you're fast asleep every night, so you've already breathed out a quarter of your daily target before you even step out of bed." Americans need to lighten up on the booze too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
