Small warning, it's not entirely accurate. There is a core of truth to it but there's plenty of contradictory literature, but they ignored all that, I guess because it doesn't make for an interesting video. If you want a tangible example, go down to your local rowing club, find a competitive athlete and ask them what they typically eat in a day. It's far over 2600 kcal, but they're generally pretty light guys, especially the lightweight rowers who have to stay under 75 kg. The walking you do is good though! Sitting for long periods is absolutely terrible for your health and walking can partially offset that. You're lowering your risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, the general exercise aspect of it aside.
remember, diets are simpily what you eat, having a certain diet is saying you are going to eat certain things. being on a diet only means that you are modderating what and when you eat not just cutting out all the food you like, such as say skipping breakfast in the morning, having a filling lunch and a moderate dinner, that is a diet. modderating the amount of sugary or processed food you eat, that's a diet. prepping food yourself and making a balanced diet, it doesn't matter if you do do 1, 4, or every day in a week, it's still a diet. likewise eating mc donalds for breakfast lunch and dinner is also a diet. we tend to think as diets as something we do to be healthy, but in essence it's literally just food intake habits and modderating what you eat. a diet doesn't need to be fully healthy, even just including healthy elements and practise can be a good thing, you don't need to go over the top when trying to eat healthy, you can look at what your eating and make small changes over time that help build up healthy eating habbits.
Welcome back! How's life been treating you? Also I'll add this tidbit of information: sleeping actually burns more calories than being awake. Mostly during REM sleep. The reason being that it's the period of time when your body regenerates, grows and organizes memories. The better the sleep, the more calories burnt. Isn't the body well designed?
That's insane, I never would have guessed you burn more calories sleeping! Life has been good, but very hectic. I think I'm finally getting everything to settle back down now, thanks for asking :)
you will only burn more calories sleeping if while being awake you do absolutely nothing. The reason being, when you're sleeping at least your body is actually doing something. some athletes burn through 10000+ calories a day and additionally, exercise = increased metabolism + bigger muscles, bigger muscles require and burn more calories. This video by Kurzgesagt was really poorly made
I've been absent for a while so I'm sure it will take a bit for everything to fall back into place. Hopefully I didn't upset too many people with my extended absence.
1:51 Oh my god do I hear you! I relate!!

Very good point, you don't have to go overboard: every little bit is better than nothing. Healthy habits are so important. Good call!
Great reaction video!
@gregdoucete needs to react to this
lol I think I might know what his thoughts would be :D

Welcome back man! I hope you will continue Gravity Falls
Thank you! I'm really hoping to continue, I just have to figure out a better way to edit them.
Welcome back! Will you react to the other videos of Kurzsegart? You left behind some interesting ones😁.
He also hasnt reacted to videos after people donated money.
Yes, I've been absent for a bit but I plan on catching back up :) Should be back into the regular swing of things again now!
@ChadicusCaracallacus What are you talking about? I don't do reactions on demand for money, it's not something I've ever done.
Bro, your views are stuck. It didn't add up new viewers' watch count.

14th to comment.
That video is bullshit. Exercise to lose weight and drive your car with the pedal to the floor to burn more fuel.
Hehe but it makes people who don't want to exercise feel better ;)
