For many (me included) its not about not burning calories only, but also for becoming weaker! O.o

So I strongly believe everyone regardless of if they're going for a muscle chub look or just straight up fat, should try implementing some amount of exercise into their routine.

i think this is good advice. i went cold turkey off of exercising when i started to gain, and now - several years later and a few hundred pounds heavier - i am really struggling to get back into it. but one of the other side effects of starting to exercise again has been that i sleep much more soundly!

Munchies:
I'm rootin for ya!

A lot of people stop exercising when they commit to gaining. And I get the logic. It's a great way to put on pounds. But that is one of the most foolhardy things you can do - especially if you are an extreme gainer.

Gotta stay active - even if it's only light exercise.

I suppose that's fair but I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a very strong support system and you understand the risks especially if you're into extreme obesity. By it's very nature fat is very heavy (shocker I know), and if you don't make sure your body is strong in response to that you will have mobility issues and respiratory issues.

I'm not trying to say this to dissuade people from gaining extreme amounts of weight, just to advocate for ways to mitigate its downsides

I mean, I ain'tcha mamma. You can do whatever you want. But as someone who has been in the medical field for nearly a decade, I've seen what happens with weak, fat people. It's endless suffering and pain 24/7.

I'll never forget this one lady who was crying about how much pain she was end and said "I want to lose all this weight, but it hurts so much. The only thing stopping me from ending it all is my family."

I know a lot of people have this immobility/limited mobility fantasy. But most of y'all truly do not understand what you are asking for. Being weak and skinny is a whole different beast from weak and very fat.

I've seen similar in my line of work too, I've seen some pretty bad bed sores from patients that are too huge to get out of bed on their own and need assistance in order to get into their wheelchairs. Sadly at a lot of the nursing homes/assisted living facilities I work with the staff either neglects them or are sadly too busy to come help them out of bed so they spend all day locked in their room. I'm just a wheelchair technician so I try to do what I can to reduce these issues like using foam inserts to relieve pressure and with some patients we get custom molded cushions to fit their needs but Medicaid doesn't always cover that sort of thing. To anyone who read through this whole word salad take care of your body, being fat doesn't have to mean being unhealthy. There are ways to be 400-500 lbs while minimizing the health risks you might face.

Im curious on how that support system would look like!

I should also have mentioned that a complete loss of mobility is part of the fantasy 😅🤣

My partner is over 400 lbs, but he eats relatively healthy and works out. He just got home from the gym.

He's fine. Might not be the picture of health, but he's doing really well.
