Wow, Had to do the math on this one (as a filthy metric user). If I got it right this person claims they can run at 24km/h for an extended period of time, when the average male running speed is 11 km/h and about 9-10 for women. Even Usain Bolt’s world record is “only” 44.7 km/h, and that was the top speed of the fastest person alive. (Source for all this is light googling)
All that with an excess weight of 68 kg, putting them at, if we’re being generous, a body weight of about 150kg. Suuuuure buddy.
I exercise specifically so I can continue my crappy diet without getting overweight. I’ll admit that’s stupid, but at least it’s not outright delusional. I don’t blame my genes, either.
First step is complete honesty with yourself, so you're doing pretty good in my eyes! At least you've taken steps to manage it if you struggle to control your eating habits, that's more than a lot of people can say
Tô be fair, receiving good service from a medic is very luck based, and it’s not rare for them to justify any problem with generic shit without proper investigation, things like anxiety and weight are being used as wildcard for “don’t know the problem and wont look further”.
I have lost a ton of weight in the past, but since i was fat only in my early years, i didn’t face any health problems from it, and had many problems misdiagnosed as “you just feel like this because you’re fat”, fortunately getting a second opinion is not that hard where i live, but if i just trusted the first person every time i would be very fucked.
This also applies for losing weight. A good endocrinologist nutritionist combo can help a lot and did in my case, discovering some genetic tendencies and helping me counter them with specific diets and medicanent, but many of those professionals just assume you are lazy, and shame you for not being able to do something as “easy” as losing weight.
Medics don’t face enough criticism for their mistakes, so bad professionals can work alongside good ones, making finding a good one very luck based, that is only made worse by the costs associated with it.
Not a chance they can run a 4min mile. The male record for the mile is only 16s less, and the female record is like 4:12. I can see someone being a little bit overweight and maybe pulling it off, and even then I reckon it’d be super rare, but no chance for someone nearly 70kg overweight.
