Not very, but once you start getting them you can become more prone. Swelling from infection can alter your ear canal to making it more likely to trap water.
Some might tell you earplugs as a preventative, but they can cause problems of their own, especially if you take them out and put them back in during a session. Or if they get dirty.
Swim caps will keep most of the water from your ears, and if you've longer hair I'd suggest a cap regardless.
Really you should be fine so long as you're not sleeping with water in your ear. Especially if you're in a pool and not open water. They weren't common when I was swimming.
Depends on the person. I've had friends who get them all the time from basically any water. Meanwhile I can flop around in stillwater or death smelling run off and I've never gotten one
I'm fairly immune to* those somehow, but pools are where I get infected by warts in my past. I got water shoes so it's my own fault for not wearing gloves I suppose. Not really the pool...change rooms 🤮
I believe it. Cold really changes things. Not only are you just burning more calories to stay warm, but I swear the cold fundamentally alters your metabolism when you're regularly exposed.
GP1s. You eat a bit of shit. But not too much. Then you're like, huh I want some real food. And then you're done for the day. Two days later, you're like, poop please leave my body so I can eat a little bit more shit. Maybe you throw up a box of pop-tarts.
Then you notice the muscle loss and you're like, no more shit, only real food, and more workout. Real food is easier to eat because your sugar cravings decrease.
I grew up watching people shame spiral while ordering Ab-Rollers. It was not pretty. This isn't ideal but we have to acknowledge we're all addicts.
Alter your perception. If the inability to walk up a flight of stairs and being a guy with bigger tits than his wife is perfect in your eyes then perfection is found by washing down a bag of chips with a milkshake
You can eat as shitty as you like, you just need to make sure you burn the calories.
You can spend an hour on a bike/running and burn getting close to a thousand calories. Lifting is more like half that, but has the benefit of increasing your metabolism over time
The phrase "you can't outrun a bad diet" exists for a reason. If you are not already doing lots of sports your body simply cannot handle the 1-2 hours if intense activity every day to burn off that caramel latte and bag of chips. Then, when you do get to the level where you can do lots of sports, you will notice a bad diet impacts your progress and recovery and you are stuck eating a lot, but mostly healthy food.
It takes a lot more exercize to burn food off than people think, especially to burn fat off.
It's not necessarily the intensity but the duration. The exercise must be long enough that fat is metabolized.
Depending on several factors, there can be a 10–20 min period of time after the onset of exercise until fat metabolism can catch up with carbohydrate metabolism.
If I run for a full hour it's about 800 calories, which gets me like six oreos and a glass of whole milk, which is all I want! Eat well all day, exercise, and snack at night. Just gotta run 8 miles.

Ear infections hurt though.

Not gonna debate that. Had one andanytime I had water touch it, it felt like a screwdriver was being jammed into my ear.

How common are they with swimming?

You get ear and eye infections from parasites I believe, often from waterfowl. So it depends on where and when.

It's only cold if you are just standing in there. If you actually swim, you will be much warmer.

It only reduces your appetite, doesn't make you lose weight if you eat as described in the meme.

Eat like a pig, would still feel like eating like a pig, if you feel full by smaller dishes.

Uh by that logic do skinny people eat like fat pieces of shit when they eat small meals and get full?

Pull a Forest Gump and run across the US a few times. The violence coupled with lack of health care will surely lead to weight management.

Until the pill bottles and chronic pain stacks up from being obese, then being proudly fat doesn't feel so good.

It takes a lot more exercize to burn food off than people think, especially to burn fat off.
Few will get enough exercize to make up for overeating junk food.
Learn to fill up on veggies, fruit, eat whole grains, unprocessed food, and moderate exercize is enough to stay moderately not a fat bastard.

Interesting. As an aside I read that running a marathon would burn about a pound of fat.

No, an hour of bike riding is nowhere near 1000 jacks burned unless you are able to sustain a sprint for that whole time.
