I have always heard that the best exercise for burning weight is whatever one you DO.

the best type of exercise to burn fat? high intensity or long aerobic exercise (ex. bike)?

My answer: the best exercise is the one that I do. Whatever gets me moving!

Surf, walk, run, climb a mountain. Just move. AND have some FUN. Kids are skinny when they play. Do likewise.

Just get moving. It's all about breaking old habits and creating new ones (I'm typing this to not only suggest but remind MYSELF when I notice I've gained or plateaued)

Maybe the OP question is about burning fat instead of muscle because people are at higher risk for burning muscle during high intensity aerobic activity versus low aerobic activity, like walking, during weight loss.

The WL endocrinologist who works with my surgeon pounds this into my head because I'm a high aerobic kinda person and I've always burn more muscle than fat every time I see him.

So in terms of optimal weight loss, he would say low aerobic 30 minutes every day and resistance training ever other day never going more than 48 hours without resistance training.

I'm in the camp of do what you love so I I do what I love at high aerobic activity and weight train and eat my Protein with in 20 minutes of recovery.

Just to be clear, this is about weight loss and not about maintaining.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
