If you want it bad enough you will do it. No one will ever force you to lose weight, eat less exercise more.

Just write down what you eat in a journal on your phone and do it. Set a goal and execute.

Look at the following chart. You will see estimated MET values and calorie burn from two activities. Walking versus using a spinning wheel to produce yarn.

My question about it, why can't I do 4 or more hours of making yarn per day, instead of doing 6k-10k steps of walking and get a better calorie burn. I searched if doing the spinning wheel would count as walking, but my results said no it's not the same as walking, and it's not considered good enough to count. That it's just a waste of time for fat. But you look at see the MET values, is this information I get false?

Using the spinning also requires some walking when making yarn. For producing the yarn you do not sit the entire 4 hours.

You see I reduce 1.0 MET from the MET value, this is to count only the extra calories past the resting rate.

I just performed 6k steps today and, I think it would be more efficient if I produced yarn for 4 hours. The steps took 1.5 hours. I at least could take the yarn and produce of nutrition and weight loss specialist cumming ga things like wash cloths.

Walking
(3.0 -1) MET * 181kg * 3.5 / 200= 6.33
1min 6.33 calories
30min 189.9 cal.
60min 379.8 cal.
90min 569.7 cal. 6k steps.
180min = 1139.4 calories. Compared to 4 hours of making yarn.

Spinning wheel making wool yarn 1.8 - 3.0
(2.5-1) MET * 181kg * 3.5 / 200 = 4.75
30min 142.5 calories
60min 285 calories
2hour 570 calories
4hour 1140 calories
5hour 1425 calories.
6hour 1710 calories
8hour 2280 calories
Yes i see that

After reading about the MET calculation, the first one. I trust it more than the other. MET* KG * 3.5/200= per minute kcal. It certainly is more appealing.

I have a lot of nerve/anxiety/depression problems and my doctor has told me there was a study that showed this: walking at least 10 minutes gives your mind relief from problems, walking 30 a day gives the best results, walking 10 minutes at a time for 3 times works just the same as all 30 together and walking at least 2 hours a week and at least 4 days a week gives the best results over time. So that means the best thing is to walk 30 minutes a day for a least 4 days a week to get good results for physical and mental health.
