That’s pretty much nonsense. I have never been even slightly fat, and eat quite a lot. Also, while I don’t eat much in the way of fatty or processed foods, I do eat a fairly carb heavy diet (lots of potatoes, bread, rice, and such). The difference is I exercise regularly.

lol, I've been weight training for 10+ years and worked at a gym for several years and played sports at the high school and college level. You're not getting results like that from 25 minutes of light cardio (and yes Ring Fit is light cardio, heavy cardio is things like HIIT or playing full court basketball at full tilt and even with heavy cardio you can't just eat like shit) in a month.

Burning 250 calories extra a day is not going to radically transform anyone's physique in 30 days, 250 calories is a granola bar, so you're burning off a granola bar's worth of calories. Use your brain and think about that for a second. 

To lose weight you need to be burning more calories than you take in and to maintain a weight you need to then keep your calories at that equilibrium level (so you can't be taking in a large amount of excess calories over what you burn). There's no ifs/ands/or buts about this.

Any fitness fad/doofus trying to sell people on radical body changes in 30 days is a pretty clear tip off of a fraudster. 

And for all your years lifting weights up and playing games in high school, your knowledge of basic nutrition and metabolism is about 8 decades out of date. Everyone did sports in High School and University, most people lift weights. You would have been much better off taking some nutritional sciences or biology classes instead of just gym.
