I’m aware weight loss is primarily driven through a calorie deficit created by changing eating habits. I’m already in a deficit of -650 and it seems to be going well, been about a month and I’m down about 6.5lbs.
Outside of this I also weight lift 2x a week and get about 3k steps.
Lets say I was to incorporate more activity (10k steps), along with hiking once a week and cardio 5x a week.
Would this meaningfully increase the rate of loss? I’ve read about Herman Pontzer’s constrained energy model and the read up on the Hazda people and it just has me a little confused.
Is doing cardio pointless for weight loss? I know it has immense health benefits outside of it, especially for heart health but is it a pointless tool for accelerating weight loss? I don’t want to further increase my deficit as I like my current meal plan, but I’m not opposed to being more active if it’ll help my weight loss journey more.
