Muscles don't keep you warm in freezing ocean water! Blubber does that.
...Man I wish I had a bulletproof excuse like that.
during climate change apocalypse being pudgy is a difference between life and death!
All of the anti-carb diets are a joke. Carbs are fucking great.
They're really not, but not everyone needs them.
If you're bordering type 2 diabetes and carbs just make your blood sugar shoot up and crash down, reducing or eliminating carbs can get your shit back in check without medication, and make it much easier to reduce your calories (since you don't feel compelled to stuff your face again because of shaky hands)
I have diabetes and I have this guide to carbs and healthy eating. It’s 45-60g carbs per meal I think, and the portions are hilarious. It’s like 1/100th of a bagel or something.
A regular sized bagel is 60g of carbs, more or less. My dietician had me target 60-75 grams of carbs per meal with a total daily target of 225-245 for my type 2 diagnosis.
Checks out, if your bagel weighs more than 4.5-6kg
Sounds about right for average US bagel size.
I’ve never seen a bagel under 20kg so that makes sense.
a seal abs and muscles were built, because they swim all the time. they can hold thier breath for 30minutes, i think some others can hold longer. the southern elephant seal holds the record at 2hours.
another fun fact is when seals/sea lions deep dive they it automatically shuts down thier digestive system. also seals can survive on thier blubbler and fat for quite a long time too. they have mechanisms that allow them to extact alot of oxygen into thier tissues, blood.
seals are quite fast in the water, seal lions even faster. seals do have trouble on land, as the have to act like a caterpillar, while sea lions can walk and run/
I choose to imagine you're the polar bear version of jason statham's character in every movie he's ever done.
It really is what peak performance looks like
southern elephant seal holds the record at 2hours
Don't want to think how the scientists made them compete for this record
probably a tracking collar, so it can determine how long they stayed underwater hunting squid.

I mean, if you aren't counting your calories and eating in a deficit, you're not going to lose weight.
Eating in a deficit? Yes, counting calories? No. There's times I lose weight just because of activity load. Hell I did a 3 hour bike ride on Sunday that burned around 2000 calories. When ski touring season hits I'll probably lose a bunch of weight. I get that most folks can't do activities like that, but there's a lot more to fitness than just your body fat. If I loose weight due to exercise it's usually 10 lbs but over the summer I went from 180 to 165 without thinking once about my calorie intake.
Yup, I was doing keto for over a year to lose weight. Got to a healthy weight, stayed there for 3 months, and decided I wanted to gain weight to help build muscle. Put on 20 pounds while still being on keto. Then lost weight again to look leaner. It's all calories in, calories out. However some people find certain diet types to be easier and preferable to others.
