Take a look at the Link in the OP. Somebody losing 5-10 kg in 30 days just by playing some ring fit adventure, i dont know...
Of course eating well is the biggest factor, but it's not like it's an either/or situation. If someone is already eating well, adding fitness only improves things. It's best to work on eating habits and fitness for the best results. I would hope nobody expects miracles from fitness games if they eat poorly.
That's exactly what Ring Fit is for. Not weight loss, but toning and stamina. As the subject of the story said, he combined Ring Fit with a better diet to great effect. Not sure why people feel the need to shit on his accomplishment. Maybe they're upset about not being able to do the same.
Dammit!, I love playing Beat Saber. Does this mean I need to get my hands on a pair of real light sabers. ;)
So it's possible to shockingly losing weight with ring fit adventure?
They might also give up after a week because they haven't seen dramatic results. Ring fit is an amazing game and does provide great exercise. The game is very clear about that you should look for long term efforts and results, and try to do whatever you can to have a more healthy lifestyle. This kind dramatic change in one month is not realistic whether it's fake or not. It's counterproductive.
I don't want to get into every detail because I understand this is just hearsay to everyone else, but living with my sister in a small apartment, I saw with my own eyes that she wasn't cheating or sloppily measuring, she was absolutely at a significant to massive calorie deficit for well over a year without losing weight or dropping clothes sizes. Unfortunately when she shared with others her frustration at a lack of results, she would often be disbelieved because "that would violate the laws of thermodynamics" and such, repeatedly told by she must be counting wrong or cheating somehow. Understandably frustrating for her when I know how incredibly diligent and unwavering she was.
Your not gonna lose a lot of weight in a week with the same diet most likely. Maybe if you're heavily overweight. If you come in with the expectation of losing a lot of weight and gaining a lot of muscle very fast you will be disappointed because that's not how exercising works. Again, Ring fit is a great tool, unhealthy expectations are not.
I didn't say the results meant losing weight. If you work out consistently your body will change regardless what else you do. Especially if its a person who leads an incredibly sedentary life and is never active. If you do a good exercise routine consistently you will improve your life, however small or however large.
Where did I shit on them? Everything you do is better than nothing. I simply said that setting unrealistic goals based on someone else's "dramatic" change is counterproductive, which is not that controversial if you read any research about it. I bet you can go to any gym at the end of January and find people who are quitting and discouraged because they had unrealistic expectations at the beginning.
If she was not losing fat tissue then her nutrition was providing her all the energy she needed. Thus, she was not a "significant to massive" calorie deficit. That said, no one should be focused on losing weight for well over a year, you should cycle between goals. Do a 6 weeks program where you build up your strength, then spend 2 weeks in a caloric deficit, go back to building up strength, 2 weeks of weight loss, then focus on improving your agility etc.
