no one will reference it because some new thing will have happened

I thought there would be a lib January 6th, but they’ve found a way to be even more lame.

tag yourself! I’m the hot one

Pleeeeees

It’s our year too

I think I should get Best Pup

Ah, that makes more sense

I’m not arguing fat people shouldn’t have respect tho, I’m just explaining that the concept of dieting is not helpful for weight loss.

I’m not even saying it falls completely on the individual.
There are so many societal factors that play a role: cheap unhealthy foods, the entire confusing industry of fad diets and all that misinformation, people being too overworked to stick to or make healthy changes, the unhealthy food culture of the US in general, people going untreated for medical conditions etc etc.

I’ve suffered from plenty of these, I’ve been overweight…I’m still a bit overweight.
I have a lot of physical factors that make it harder for me to lose weight than other people.
For a long time I was just awash in a sea of conflicting information about what you should eat, how you should eat, how you lose weight.
It felt hopeless.

So…maybe I have my own personal issues with all of this, but I just don’t really appreciate the talking point of “95% can’t (as opposed to don’t) lose weight or keep it off” as if it’s just a scientific impossibility.
It feels very defeatist, very crab in a bucket.
I’m at a point in my life where I feel like I finally have some control, some clarity over things and it kind of rubs me the wrong way to see stuff that could potentially keep others in that same pit I was in.

Maybe I’ve got my own issues to work on, but that’s how I see it.

It’s not about “dieting” forever, it’s about concrete lifestyle changes which is why diet culture fucking sucks and so many people are unsuccessful.

Cigarettes have calories?

For a taller guy it’s probably closer to 2.5k sedentary and maybe up to 2.8-9 depending on what “moderate exercise means” but idk about that.
Either way, according to bmi at least, for your height it’s in the slightly overweight category which I think makes sense for someone slightly overeating.

I’m not a scientist tho, I’ve just been trying to get a better intuition about this kind of thing while losing weight.

I feel like 200 isn’t that crazy for a 6 ft dude eating roughly 3k cals a day.

I do think it is true to an extent, my sister had a pretty high metabolism and would never gain despite what she ate.
She was decently active though which also increases your metabolism…either way I do think there is a difference it makes, but like you said I don’t think it’s a massive difference where someone on a Super Size Me diet would remain bone thin (or the inverse someone on a moderate diet gaining a crazy amount of weight.

I was posting something in a similar vein on the trans mega actually , where you hear about how much someone eats and it’s more than you despite them being skinner because of their height and metabolism.

Why is dying in a trench a good thing?

I feel like it’s either people of a similar age that don’t want to feel like they are kids anymore because they are finally technically adults or like you said older men who don’t see anything weird or wrong with it.
