    No s"t Sherlock. Doesn’t really change the fact that this is much easier to achieve than for others, before we are even talking about will power. Some people can eat much more at the same workout level as others, without gaining weight. No contradiction with thermodynamics needed.

      By all means keep spreading the doomer mentality of “I can’t do anything to lose weight it’s my genetics”

        Strawman. I was saying no such thing, merely that for some it is harder than for others. Just like some would starve to dewth in a famine sooner than others at identical feed intake and rate of activity.

        This is no excuse for anything, just a fact. People can gave an influence on that, no matter the genes.

          Not understanding what you’re saying doesn’t mean I’m making a straw man argument lol

            You were claiming I was spreading “doomer mentality of “I can’t do anything to lose weight it’s my genetics””

            That is false, I did no such thing. I merely stated the fact that metabolisms and especially regulation differ and some have to climb a steeper hill than others to get to the same peak. Harder doesn’t mean impossible.

              You’re still just failing to understand what you’re saying while dancing in a circle pointing at it

                You are failing to make an argument at all. come back when you manage to formulate a concrete argument.

                  Pulling the buzzword “straw man” straight out of year 10 debate club isn’t an argument either! And you made it first!

                    Sorry, but how else to call it when you are distorting my comment into something I clearly did not say, just to easily refute it? That is the defintion of that term.

                    Maybe don’t do that in the first place. You still haven not brought forward an actual argument besides this para discussion.

        I was such an asshole after I dropped 100 pounds in my 20s. I did it, you can too!

        I was such a dick. I had actual anger towards fat folks for a few years.

        Its like being mad folks are poor, just, knock it off. None of these comments actually help people lose weight. It actually scares them off further into the downward spiral. Lest not forget age gets us all, and you dont know what these people have been through, or are going through. You dont know.

        My country, the shit stain one, they dont allow citizens to walk anywhere. Start there. I stayed fit when I could walk/bike places. Once I moved somewhere carcentric, guess what happened. Im not a dick to fat folks anymore.

        Its not so black and white. The older I get, the more I realize its systemic, at least here in the god forsaken states.

        remain positive, internal work is internal, and you cant make choicss for others. I wanted to give fitness to everyone when I was younger. But not everyone is brave enough to ride a bike in car city. I still get mad when I see parents giving their fat children candy. Sets them up for a lifetine of failure. I used to have my gaurdian lock me in a room, call me fat bitch, and literally throw a bag of mcdonalds at me in my teens.

        you never know what someone has been through. Always kindness.

          Telling people they need to eat less to lose weight isn’t unkind. These truths only push people who already are unwilling to accept reality further into delusion. I’m not sympathetic to those people.
