(Anonymous) 2013-08-06 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)Uh, no. They don't do enough exercise daily, not can't. The average American is physically capable of turning off the TV or computer or setting aside whatever it is that they're doing while sitting on their ass and exercising instead.
Your example is based on overeating and not exercising. I can believe the average American overeats but going for a run will burn more than 200 calories unless you're only running a very short distance. In which case: YES, you need to do more exercise in addition to decreasing the amount of calories you take in.
"This is the case for almost everyone who isn't a professional athlete." Really? I mean, really? Because biologically, exercise is as important to health and fitness and weight as diet.
America has a shitty food environment and it's important people seek out foods that are healthy. And it isn't easy to find them. But the average American also leads a sedentary lifestyle that exacerbates weight gain brought on by the shitty food culture. In order to lose weight, a person has to limit their food intake to within the target range for their age, size and gender, and increase their physical activity to the point they are burning a minimum of 500 calories 4-5 times a week.
