running 8 km (or 5 miles) a day, you can lose 1 kg in 2 weeks. 110km/kg or 0.11 km/g or 110 m/$ or 0.9 cent per meter.
In fact it is one of the insidious things that gaining weight forms a vicious feedback loop.
Also, often enough when people start exercising to lose weight they overcompensate by eating more and getting even more weight.
Finally, the "diet and exercise" advice is clearly misleading as paid for by the sugar council. For almost everybody, our weight is dominated by what we consume. Some people can get out of this by exercising a lot, multiple hours a day, without getting injured or overcompensating, but that is not enough people to matter compared to the diet pushed on people.
The first step to making America healthy again would be to criminalize adding sugar to food-like substances
> Many overweight people simply cannot run that far even if they wanted to.
If that is what their doctor says.

You get enormous muscles form all that weight and burn a lot more.

Don't worry about it. The goal is health. You should eat more or you get sluggish, weak, fail to recover, get injuries and quit.

Agreed, it's a pretty dumb abstraction.
The funny thing tho is that at some point in the training the lack of consumption becomes a problem. Some marathon runners and some bodybuilders require 4500 kcal per day. Long before that people are trying to eat uncomfortable amounts of food. Good food of course, not random trash.
Fat people already have enormous muscles and a trained digestive system. Switching to jacked isn't far away. If you grab a random 90 kg fit guy from the gym and put a 50 kg backpack on him his "running" wont be anywhere near that of a 140 kg couch potato.

I actually think that if you go all out on the exercise bike for 8-15 seconds and do a single 1r max deadlift per day people will be very surprised what happens. It is dramatically more than not doing anything. No cheating, it has to be all out on the bike and if you can lift it twice put more weight on it. Put the bar and the bike in the middle of the living room as an internal conversation piece.
I think one will find that the internal protest starts around 10 seconds per day not hours.
Getting to these 8 km is a rough journey for someone who is overweight and their food intake is the first reason for their problems. Lack of sport is rather the effect.
It is like saying that simply building the CERN accelerator will give you a PhD.
Also, running (rather, jogging) isn’t terrible aerobically taxing, if you can’t keep up a convo, you’re running too hard.
Once you’re used to running, it’s an insanely efficient way to create a calorie deficit. Not the most glamorous exercise, but cheap, easy, requires no significant equipment and most all, incredibly time efficient.
1 kg worth of body fat is about 7700 kcal or 7.7 kcal per gram. One m&m is about 3 kcal, if you run 35 meters for each m&m you can eat the whole bag :) You don't have to eat the whole bag.
If you gradually build up to 8 km/day it isn't very likely to kill you. 1000 dollar/month however... If 110 km in two weeks takes more than 2 hours/day you aren't really jogging. 28 hours in two weeks is $35.72 per hour.
