Looks like they heard some very basic info and just kind of read into it the wrong way. They are saying some things that are true or are situationally true, but then following up with VERY incorrect blanket statements.
So…her original post may've only been intended for eating-disorder Twitter, but it broke containment, got 1.2 million views & a Community Note over the last 3 days—but only NOW, after Bad Medical Takes weighed in, is she stopping chasing clout and setting the record straight (and playing the victim)
Disregarding the "10k steps is extreme" nonsense, is that wrong? According to an internet calculator, I'd need about 1500kcal to run 20km. A hamburger, french fries and cola already have about 1200kcal. So if I run regularly but keep my fast food diet, I don't think I'd lose weight.
You burn a lot just doing nothing, about 1500-2000/day depending on your metabolism. So if you’re not getting fatter at the current rate then you probably would lose weight if you didn’t start eating more (but it’s all complicated).
