Date: May 26th, 2018 2:22 AM Author: Honey-headed mischievous digit ratio electric furnace Someone asked me for a constructive proposal in the other thread and I didnt want it getting lost in a subthread wasteland.
Proposal: teach kids in school (and adults via PSAs) that weight loss or gain is determined by calories in minus calories out. To lose weight you must produce a sustained caloric deficit.
(Miss me with your dumb nitpicking and corrections like thermic effect of food, thanks.)
Obviously this won’t be sufficient but I think it’s a necessary starting point. It amazes me how many people don’t understand this simple truth and getting dragged into ineffective or outright dangerous weight loss schemes as a consequence (e.g. diet pills).
You even see posters here bragged about losing 10 pounds in 2 weeks by starving themselves, not realize it’s mathematically impossible for that all to be tissue and that they in fact are just dehydrated.
Again: far from a complete solution, but you’re rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic unless this is done. |

Date: May 28th, 2018 6:30 PM Author: Umber galvanic step-uncle's house Everyone already understands this stuff. Fad diets have appeal because people are lazy and willing to try easy solutions. They usually give up entirely on trying to achieve weight loss once they realize they will have to work at it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3986853&forum_id=2#36141560) |
