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 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

I do biking myself. I don't have any MET numbers, but it took five months of biking to w*rk and back to cook off my excess.

No idea what spinning yarn would burn. But I bet I could hook up my bike to it and pedal.

Some spinning wheels have been created from bicycles, they pedal the wheel while drafting the yarn.
Bicycle conversions have been done for 100 years or more.

listen to your body talk to you. most people never really tap into this resource as best as they can. be totally relaxed as this is a problem too. be natural!!! no 2nd guessing. biking is the world's best exercise because you are using all your muscles & it's less "joint" strain & pressure.

@jacko Which ever I do, Must stick with it and actually do it all the way. A serious problem I have always had with any excercise, is I might do it for 1 week, and then forget anything about it. Then, when I get on the scale I am punished. "This thing does not work." Real problem is I only did a tiny bit of it, because I forgot to do it.

I will be working on the spinning wheel + the RF device. I will see if anything happens in about 1 month. Unless I forget again.

Let me tell you a problem I have had with fat and working. I have worked jobs working shovling dirt for 8 hours per day. I did it for an entire year, and got no change in the fat. I worked at dollar general, where I had to walk between the register and the shelves for 4 hours per day. I mean it, walked the entire 4 hour shift. GAINED, got BIGGGER.

I think the government should make a FAT tax. If any packaging contains more than one serving in it, then there should be a TAX for it. And if the calories for that packaging exceeds a certain set number, then there is a TAX for the over calories.

Right now the food industry puts more than one serving into a box. Do the people only eat the one serving? NO, they eat the whole thing. Are the even looking at the calories, they might, but they eat it anyways. One slice of cake contains 1,200 calories. Same for your cookies, it's about 400 calories per cookie. They don't just put a small piece in the box, they shove an entire thing in it. They stick on the box, 150 calories, "PER SERVING". There is about 4-6 servings per box.

It the same for your pizza and hot dogs too.

The fast food... "1,200 calories per MEAL."

In case you don't know, a man should not be having more than 2000 calories per day. Dividing the 2000 by 3 meals equals 666.666 calories. For me, at my body, it's about 513 calories per meal.

"it's because they are sedatory, you don't do anything during the day." "What do you do during the day? anything?". "Been eating alot of Juuuunk?" "It's because people eat and eat and eat, shoving food constantly down their throat."

I don't believe it when they tell me that diet and exercise is the problem. It never works.

One realy problem we have in the United States, is they set out in front of you all these good delicous foods, and they advertise it to you. Telling you how OoooHHH, how goooooood it is. At the same time there telling you, "Don't eat that, it's bad for you."

It's let setting a can of dog food out for the dog, and telling him to not eat it. Blowing the smell of the food up he's nose. "Don't eat it, you have had too much already."

Look in the grocery store next time, take note of how much of the floor is actually food. You see about 80% of the floor is taking up with junk food.

Your gas station, nothing but junk in it.

When I am talking about the junk in the grocery store, I am talking about the sugar. Bread, Flour, Pasta, cookies, donuts, cakes, candy, grain sugar. A pizza is really just a piece of bread with some sauce, cheese and meat on it.

Most of the store is SUGAR. 80% of it is SUGAR. there is a small section with some meat, and another small section with produce.

I wanted to know what people ate before they consumed wheat. Wheat started because it was a famine food. People ate it because they where starving to death. They started growing it and using it.

According to google AI. "Before the cultivation of wheat, people lived primarily on a diet of hunting, gathering, and fishing. This meant consuming a variety of wild plants, animals, and seafood. Key components included meat, fish, nuts, seeds, and berries. "

I am going to go cook a piece of chicken, using some Yum Yum sauce. But no bread. At first you will have hunger pains when you stop the sugar, but after you have gone thru the withdrawal from it you feel better.

Here look at this...

"“Weight loss isn't solely about gym workouts. It's about finding the right balance between nutrition and exercise.” While some studies suggest slightly different ratios –– 80% nutrition and 20% exercise –– the research has found that diet often plays a far more significant role in achieving weight loss than exercise.Dec 30, 2024"

Some sources say it only 5% exercise, while others say 30% is exercise. They say 10% is food digestion.

And what the food industry does is use all the temptations they can give you. They study how to tempt people, making them buy just about anything they want to sell them. One of the biggest sales tactics is to talk sexy. Describe things like it's sex. They do this even when selling toys to children. It's in the tone of voice and choice of words. Words like 'Juicy, endulge, satisfying, sooo goooood, mmMmmMMmmm."
