[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 694187, member: 41816"] Hi, The exercise thing is very interesting to me. And I am about to bore you with it too. ;) I've had back problems for years, and from 2010-2012 I was limited to about 2,000 steps a day. And in quite a lot of pain. Then I went to a chiropractor, who discovered that my sacro-illeac joint was out (where the spine meets the pelvis). he corrected it in a single session, with a single follow up. Bless the man. Oddly, that level of in-activity had no impact on my weight at all. I was fat, but stable. A few months (2012) later I changed job. And now walk to work and back most days. Only half a mile each way. It aggravated my back, but after about 6 months, the pain eased, then disappeared. I was delighted. Weight still stable-ish. A little gain, if I remember correctly. I was low carbing, but not high fatting, through all of this. Then, in Summer 2013, we got the dog - partly through the belief that enforced walking would help my back further. It has. So, from mid 2013 to now, I have been walking to work and walking the dog = approx 7,000 steps a day (he has very short legs) I might hit 10,000 steps on the weekend, when we take him on a longer trundle. No weight loss until I hit this forum (Feb? 2014) and starting very low carbing, and increasing the fats. It has been slowly melting off since. And when I say slow, that is about 20 lbs since Feb 14 My own observation is that the quantities I'm eating are a maintenance amount, without the walking. and they are a weight loss amount, with the walking. PLUS the increased fat. I can only assume that the exercise reduces my (massive) insulin resistance, just enough to access my stored fat. But that is, of course, speculation. [/QUOTE]
