A tall frappuccino is about 160 calories. That's about equal to the extra calories burned for. 200lb man walking at a brisk pace 2.5km, which will take about 25 minutes.

If your walk to and from the Starbucks, that's just 12.5 minutes each way. Pick a Starbucks that isn't close to you. No big deal.

If you ran at a moderate pace, the same man could equal the calories burned in just 10 minutes round trip, 1.6km.

Since most people only exceed their calorie needs by a bit, putting on weight slowly over time, reversing that doesn't actually take that much more exercise.

The problem is that people think a "brisk walk" for half an hour three times a week counts as significant exercise.

I really have to wonder what % of Americans have even reached 90% of maximum heart rate in the past year...

Double that... Java chip and whipped cream is my style :-)

Back in the day I would usually walk 20 minutes there and back with a detour (up to an hour if I had the time and a good podcast).

Yeah, well, cut out the chocolate and cream and it'll be easier to lose that weight...

Which I think we all agree is so much of what keto really is: a restrictive diet that naturally leads to weight lose purely out of inconvenience.

Blasphemy! (can also just cut the frequency of consuming them in half)
