I said it’s basically useless. Not that it 100% is.
There are some cardiovascular benefits for sure, but OP wasn’t asking about that.

We're you worried about weight loss or fat loss? And in general exercise in all forms burns very little in the way of calories in the grand scheme with the studies showing a heavy lifting session burning a out the same amount of calories during exercise as a jog, but lifting provided a much greater effect on calories burned over a 24 hour period and lifting does build muscle.
People can do whatever they like, but for overall health, body composition and movement quality....nothing beats resistance training. Nothing!!!
Sprinting, true sprinting, hill sprints and prowler pushesand certain forms of circuit training are the best forms of cardio for body comp.

Definitely do some of this for training purposes: 800 meter intervals or tempo runs.

I'll have to remember that after I burn 1,500 calories on my Saturday run.
For whatever reason, the gym didn't work for me. I went 4+ days a week for about 4 years. Mainly resistance stuff and machines. I'm not much of a free weights guy. Swam, did the elliptical and bike. I lost some weight, but got stuck and couldn't really progress. Started a 5K program and dropped 10 lbs almost immediately. Added a bit of diet and some longer distances and dropped another 15 lbs. I still do a little resistance stuff (mainly squats), but that's more for off day balancing and stability.
Again, no one in my long run group is over weight. None of them.

No one is saying if you run long distances you won’t burn calories/be skinny.
It’s not as efficient, however, from a calorie burn perspective.

Well you say you aren't really a free weight guy so more than likely, well more like 99.9% chance you were half assing it and not following a plan.
And the you "added a little diet"
Well there is your whole issue.
And you keep repeating about nobody in your long distance running group is overweight....no offense doesn't mean they still don't look like shite.

Apparently there’s a thing called anti-diet. It’s essentially fat acceptance but you have dieticians, doctors, researchers, and whole health care facilities even that are Health At Every Size (HAES) trained professionals. I’m assuming a lot of them are money grabbers telling people what they want to hear
This was at a doctors’ office:
Just thought you’d like to see this insanity.

I definitely get what you mean. Also there are a lot of people on this board who workout for aesthetic reasons, which I'm fine with as long people are honest.
But compared to the overall condition of the US population, and even worse, the Louisiana population, I applaud anyone that isn't fat/obese these days no matter how they look.

I agree with that.

If you like distance running, which you obviously do, then keep doing it. I don’t care.
It’s not the most efficient way to burn calories, and if that’s your goal, then jogging isn’t the quickest way to get you there.

This is true and not what you originally said. It is far from "basically useless," regardless of how long or how much one has been running. One still burns calories running, and there are additional health and fitness benefits to running over walking. If someone really dislikes running, then there are other ways to achieve all of that too. However, the idea that one adapts to running to the point of it not affecting body fat and weight is ridiculous.

Agree to disagree then.

With little post workout burn.

Where did I say it doesn’t affect body fat and/or weight? I’ve said it does.
But it’s inefficient and yeah, basically useless, unless you want to put 3+ miles on everyday.

That's 20 to 30 minutes of exercise. You act like you have to run for hours to get any benefit.
As with anything balance is the right answer, cardio is important for heart health, and lifting is important for muscle retention.
This is such a weird hill for you to die on. You talked out of your arse with hyperbole at first and got called out. Take your L, move on.

I love the hustle. You try so hard to troll.
If you want to run, fricking do it - I really don’t care.

I guess that's why I'm getting upvotes and you're getting downvoted.
Saying something is a troll just because it proves you wrong is very low IQ. You're better than that.

fried stuff
Advice is to cut carbs, raise protein (via whole foods) and do resistance training.
