New Study suggests 12K steps a day! Ugh

I have been struggling to get my 10,000 steps in using my FitBit. Now they suggest 12,000 steps!

What do YOU think?

I think if you are doing 10,000 steps a day you should be patting yourself on the back. If more happen good for you, if they don't you're still amazing. Think about how many steps you were taking prior to surgery!!!!

My opinion:

More movement is better than less.

Based on my own understanding of how complex metabolism is, I am not very impressed with the study design.

Anyone who is interested in being more healthy isn't going to be drinking sodas with high fructose corn Syrup.< /p>

As an aside, as someone who is super morbidly obese and never drank non-diet soda, I find it interesting that "sugary" sodas are singled out as a major culprit in obesity -- I have come to believe that artificial sweeteners are at least as much a cause as high fructose corn syrup.

@@Sunshine_Gal THANKS!!! I always thought it would be easier after the surgery, but It remains a daily struggle.

@@Inner Surfer Girl I agree with you that the study was not scientifically sound, and the association with "sugary" sodas seemed random. I guess, for me, I had an emotional response from my ongoing struggle to meet my personal fitness goals. I appreciate the response.
