micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

That's not at all what the first video is saying. It's saying that exercise is not good for losing weight. That your body will burn the same calories every day regardless of how much you exercise unless you are running marathons or biking like a professional athlete. The science behind it is very interesting. I just happened to watch that video last night. Your body burns fewer calories at rest if you exercise more. So it ends up not making a difference.
Exercise is still very, very healthy. Just not good for weight loss. So, in that sense, yes, your food choices are important because the only way to actually lose weight is by cutting calories.
Watch the whole video. It's fascinating stuff.
I didn't watch the second video and can't say anything about it.
That's fair, and understood in most cases that's appropriate.
Unfortunately I'm my case, I need to replace missing muscle mass which should also then in turn burn more calories etc.
I'll return to the video with that in mind. My long term goal is to some day learn from and spar with my buddy who teaches martial arts... He's already helped me with diet adjustment tips to be able to stick to the changes the doc wants.
Fingers crossed
That was in the video, too! That matters a lot less than you'd think. But exercising and building muscle is a great idea!
