Exercise is more than just burning calories, though. it is essential to a person's well-being and helps foster a healthy lifestyle.

I think the "excersize doesn't matter" crowd on reddit does more harm than good. not to mention, if no one is walking or playing with this dog, it's entirely possible that the addition of daily walks and play could be what tips the scale in terms of calories in vs. calories out and will help the dog lose weight with 0 changes to its diet.

I genuinely think the "entirety of weight loss is calories in vs. calories out" thing has done more harm than good, even if it's correct.

A lot of overweight people who would struggle to change their eating habits would still have their quality of life massively improved if they committed to daily exercise. tons and tons of people stress eat and eat as a coping mechanism for other things, and exercise can have a tangible, positive impact to those feelings of stress and will almost universally result in a more healthy individual.

Too often, the point that comes across is "exercise literally doesn't matter for weight loss, if you don't fix your diet then it doesn't matter", when the point should be "exercise is imperative to being a healthy person and is extremely important, but diet is the most important thing for weight loss".

When I see it thrown around in the wild, it usually comes off as "You thought excersize would make a difference??? get fucked lmao"

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here and "excersize is important" is common sense, just felt like ranting.

The OP should have just skipped all the manufacturing and design BS. If he wants to get the bag (of money), just make throwaways and say your parents are poor on TIFU until it goes viral.
