    extra weight

    Correct, this part is where you were wrong, as you have now agreed in writing.

    Why would anyone get hurt by that?

    You are actively encouraging people to develop osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Secondarily, you are steering them away from the massive list of other proven benefits of training, such as reduced injury risk and improved mental health.

    It’s literally as insane as telling people to avoid drinking water because drinking alcohol is bad for you, and those are both things you drink. And then posting a random study about the health outcomes of alcoholics and literally lying through your teeth as you say the study is about drinking in general, whether it be water or alcohol.

    It’s shockingly disingenuous and unethical

      Just to clear some more confusion - when I say extra weight, I mean any form of weight (including fats) that don’t directly contribute to better wellbeing of your body, longevity and better cardiovascular function.

      What do you think I meant by extra weight?

        If you are so concerned about confusion, you should refrain from ever explaining or offering advice to anyone moving forward

          That hasn’t really happened before and people generally take my advice (probably because I look like 30 at near 40, muscular and fit). Recently also managed to get my chubby cousin to start going to the gym after I bombarded him with studies highlighting how important it is.
