nope, it helps you gain weight. the vast majority of people that play live a lot, spend most of their time eating snacks and sodas... so they tend to get fatter. There was a thread about it like 1 month ago, and there was this guy who had gained 15 pounds since he bought his xbox.

Likewise. I don't eat and game at the same time... too hard to coordinate it properly.  So yeah... When I get sucked into an XBL Game Fest i'm usually just stuck on liquids... either water or some fruit drink mix.

Not eating doesn't make you lose weight. Sure technically you won't get the calories for the days you skip, but as soon as you eat again your body has taught itself to utilize the food better since it is starving and what little you do eat makes you gain more weight. This is why anorexia is only effective if you are killing yourself. Also I agree with what other posters said about junk inbetween rounds. I rarely bring a salad up to my Xbox when I am playing, but chips are no problem. Its all about exercise supplementing a good diet.

Honestly the only game you can really play and eat is madden, Because all the play setups and stuff, Plenty of time to grab that beer or chips.

IF you are loosing weight chances are its not that your loosing fat, your loosing muscle- fat weighs less than fat, so though you can weigh less, you might become plumper than before.

i agree you eat a lot more watching tv then video games because you have to use your hands and are more in to it.  i dont think playing video games though is ever good for losing weight.  its all about what you eat a meals and how much you exercise

You should go on the WoW diet. Its where you sit in a room where its blazing hot no windows open. Just play WoW and drink soda and I guarntee u that you will lose some weight.

No, you're just being dehydrated. The fact that playing video games makes you sweat should be your main concern.

try taking a walk, that'll help you lose weight. playing xbox live doens't. even though you're not eating, you're just still sitting on your ass the entire time doing nothing but pressing buttons (and if you're a pruberty ridden teenager, you're swearing and usuing racial slurs to overcompensate for your small stature and girly voice)

if you want a video game to help you lose weight, play DDR or Wii Sports boxing.

yeah man FAT weighs alot less than FAT.... but besides that typo if you are starving yourself you do lose fat before you lose muscle because fat is easier for your body to break down than muscle.

Jesus Christ, turn off your Xbox and get something to eat. And no, it does not help you lose weight; you're sitting still for hours upon hours (maybe moving your fat ass when it gets cramped up) and all the calories you have ingested are not going anywhere. Please, please don't play video games for more than 1 hour at a time, you'll regret it later. I know I do.

as we know we all get sucked into playing live do u even think of eating? do u think playing xbox live helps u lose weight?OniJubei07

Take my word for it, DO NOT use video games to lose weight. I had been on Adderol, for ADD which made me not want to eat, so I didnt eat breakfast or lunch. Then when i got home from school, i went upstairs to my room and played Halo 2 for a LONG time, still haven't eaten anything. When I finally decide to go downstairs and get something to eat, I got up, and my vision got very blochy, and before i knew i was on the floor, passed out for about 3 seconds. I needed to get heart x-rays, chest x-rays, EKGs, bloodwork. Please do not stop eating while playing video games, you'll regret it.
