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.

You also don't need a PhD to take a health class, you could have taken one in High School.

I don't know or care about this 25-minute guy. I am talking about your calorie-burning math; that's not how it works.

It more or less does work. You're either in a state of calorie deficit or surplus or by fluke right down at equilibrium. 

There's isn't some alternate option there. If you are in a deficit consistently long enough you will lose weight. If you are at a surplus consistently long enough you will gain weight. 

I remember reading a study even that a doctor did about 10 years ago where he ate nothing but food from a 7-11 all day for like 6 months or something, but he controlled the calorie intake to be under what he needed to maintain his weight. Guess what? Even eating shit like potato chips and chocolate bars all day and Twinkies, he lost a large amount of weight, improved his cholesterol, etc. etc. 

People always want some fancy fucking answer for this stuff like some magical new diet craze or fitness product will magically do the trick, but it's really just calorie deficit. It doesn't even matter if it McDonalds you're eating all day, as long as you put your body into calorie deficit. The truth is most people don't want to do that because it's uncomfortable. They don't want to hear that, they want to hear about some trendy Miami Beach diet (which they ditch after 2 weeks) or some Ab Doer product they think will give them rock hard abs (uh no number of crunches is going to do a damn thing until you get your body fat down to a very low number). Saw that at the gym allllll the time, doesn't surprise me so many people are overweight, if you don't understand calories in/out and you're baffled as to why you're fat ... 99.9999999% of time it's because you're taking in more calories than you think.
