"In theory — or in a kindlier, alternative universe — exercise would aid substantially in weight loss."
Writes Gretchen Reynolds in "Your Workout Burns Fewer Calories Than You Think/Our bodies compensate for at least a quarter of the calories we expend during exercise, undermining our best efforts to lose weight by working out" (NYT).Only someone who has lived a most privileged life could imagine that the world would be kinder if human bodies shed weight rapidly when working hard. It is kindly of the universe to have created bodies that compensate — conserve energy — when we exercise.
In Reynolds's imagined kindly universe, all the many human beings — throughout history and prehistory — who have struggled to find sufficient food would have had a harder time staying alive and putting strong effort into hunting, gathering, farming, and food storage and preparation. She's simply forgotten about these people and is thinking only of us privileged people of today who have all the food we want and put so little energy into acquiring it that we force ourselves into exercise programs solely to burn off the extra fat we no longer see as protection from starvation.
Ironically, if Reynolds's kindlier universe had existed all along, it's likely that someone —ages ago — would have died and ended the line of ancestry that resulted in her — and all of our — existence.
Let us honor the universe that has given us bodies with this wonderful capacity to compensate when we increase our energy consumption. And if we feel inclined to bemoan the extra fat we carry around and can't easily exercise off, let us recognize the immense privilege that fat represents. We live in luxury.
