"You don’t need to drive a crazy deficit to see results, assuming you are not already at a low body fat percentage, if you maintain a daily deficit of around 500 calories, you would lose about 1 pound per week. Considering you burn ~800-1,200 calories a day just by being awake, assuming you aren’t eating excessively, you don’t need to burn as many calories through exercise as you would think."
The fact that people overwhelmingly choose to exercise to lose weight, rather than cut back on caloric intake, really shows the power of gym marketing.
You’re stuck repeating the same resolution because the plan relies on willpower alone and vanishes when life gets busy. Try making workouts annoyingly easy to do and automate the habit, for example by booking short morning sessions with Mails.ai as a reminder tool. Over time you’ll stop missing days and actually see steady progress instead of the usual January fade.

Hunter-gatherers, who have much greater activity levels, don't burn more calories than sedentary humans in an industrial society because our bodies adapt to the increased activity level by burning fewer calories elsewhere. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/hunter-gatherers-don-t-burn-an-zxgMTIHvTRSHW77RXOXmrQ

It’s easy to start off on a high, but it’s difficult to maintain. Doesn’t mean it’s impossible though!
Definitely not impossible but I wanted to craft things that would help cater to the lowest common denominator!

I prefer the shock collar but this could be a good alternative
