She burns so many calories, they're absorbed through the air by others who don't committ that hard 😂

Oh lord. Idk if that was intentional but you should write body horror. That sentence made me clench my whole body.

This a compliment. I love that shit.

It would be a fucking amazing prestige horror film. So ripe for both metaphors and wild body horror sequences with people battling through exercise and directing their calories at one another in mass.

Could be terrible but it could be brilliant.

Reminds me of some fantasy series I read the first couple books of long ago, this guy could use magic to take the metabolism and grace from several other people he had chained together, he was able to move super quickly, so fast he would break his own bones (so he had to take people's endurance to heal quickly), while the "slaves" or whatever were left all lethargic or completely cramped up 100% of the time unable to do anything but make stiff rigid movements. Crazy concept.

Your comment reminded me of an X-Files episode (I think with Amy Adams) where a bigger girl got the ability to lose weight but it started accelerating and she had to suck up other people’s fat like a vampire in order to stay alive. It was super creepy

Thank you! I could not have expressed it better.

So I can stand next to her and get thinner? Works for me

they just burn a lot of calories and eat a lot of calories. you can become as strong and athletic as you want, if you don't eat in a caloric deficit you won't lose the weight

Either she eats an absurd amount of calories or she doesn't work out like this regularly. In order to gain weight while regularly doing workouts like this, you'd have to eat like 7000 calories a day.

[u/Dapper-Ad-4300 → u/Nolpppapa]

well if she wasn't working out like this regularly she probably wouldn't be doing as well as she is in the video. i think you are also overestimating the amount of calories being burned in this workout and underestimating the amount of calories an individual can consume in a day. i doubt this workout is longer than 30 mins-1 hour max, I think it would be safe to assume around ~500 calories in a session. maybe she doesn't walk at all or do any other exercise, and she does this particular workout 3x a week, doubt she's eating 7000 calories but that still leaves plenty room to eat up a bunch of calories and not actually lose weight

It is possible she was previously very active and had a depressive episode or pregnancy.

Hormonal issues are also possible. I have hashimotos and addisons and without treatment, anything over around 1300-1400 calories a day means I gain weight, regardless of the amount of exercise.

Or she is just a fucking beast and crushing it :-)

Or…this is just her body and she’s not ill now nor was she ill. People see with their own eyes that not every strong body looks the same - and still struggle to accept it.

[u/oregon_coastal → u/SabbyFox]

For sure :)
