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weights up and playing games in high school, your knowledge of basic nutrition and metabolism is about 8 decades out of date. You would have been better off taking a health or nutrition class instead of majoring in gym. Calorie burning math doesn't work the way you describe it, not even close.

You don't need to have a PhD in physical fitness to know that 25 minutes a day of light cardio for a month and some "diet changes" is going to get you that result in 30 days. I've worked in a gym for several years I know several personal fitness trainers.

There's no metabolism on planet earth that does that and thank god it doesn't because the human species would've died out for the majority of its existence where food was not readily available in a refrigerator or supermarket and you actually had to go for days without eating at times and still be able to hunt/chase your next meal in that process. 

To lose weight you need to create a calorie deficit, if you eat continually in excess of the calories you are burning off you are going to gain weight. As a person who has a high metabolism, that applies to me too, people think we're some kind of magical unicorn that can eat whatever, and that's also bullshit. There's no metabolism that changes that to any huge degree.
