People have vastly different metabolisms and can see vastly different results from the same diet and exercise regimen. CICO is valid, but much of our caloric consumption is passive, varying by person, rather than from activity. People struggling with weight and diet deserve understanding, and that some seek dubious explanations for their struggles is no excuse for disdain.
We are living in a milieu that both evolution and current culture have ill prepared us for.
Exempting contesting explicit misinformation, this is sure as shit not the comm to be quarreling with people over what percentage of weight struggles are their “fault” vs a defeatist, determinist outlook. Take it elsewhere.
This coming from someone lucky enough to have a fairly high metabolism despite a shit diet. The genetic lotto is absolutely a factor in the weight of individuals.
Oh lord, this became a shitshow.
Let’s have one last statement for clarity.

Which was, once again, just proven in a large-scale study, fresh out of the prints.
