Be interested to see a percentage increase in fat burning (I.e. is it worth nailing a coffee or not if you are a big fat coder looking to shift a few pounds)

Exercise is great for general fitness and can give you a slight edge in a calorie deficit but has little impact on weight loss in general. If you want to lose weight by far the easiest and most effective thing you can do is to get your diet under control.

Getting my diet under control is contingent on getting my appetite under control. It's mediated by my sleep levels, stress levels, how much exercise I'm getting, what types of calories I'm eating, what time I'm eating them, and my microbiome. It's so disingenuous to say "Just eat less". If it was that simple, there wouldn't be an obesity epidemic.
