And what do you suppose we do about that? It has become a global epidemic. Just “get good” and start eating healthy? Clearly that does actually work, and yet obesity is more of a problem now than it has ever been.
Obviously it does. “Eating healthy” in this case means eating fewer calories than you burn. But don’t just pick at one small part of one example and not acknowledge the rest of my comment. What do you suppose we do about the obesity epidemic? How do we save as many lives as possible? Many things have been tried, and many have failed. Including telling people to lose weight and how to do it themselves.
I think they are trying to say that you can technically lose weight without changing how you eat by spending more calories. Which… is technically true. But obviously doesn’t relate to the point I was making, and I feel like they’re purposefully avoiding talking about the fact that the biological mechanics of how one loses weight have nothing to do with the general population’s inability to lose weight with willpower alone.
They’re trying to spring some sort of “gotcha” on the fact that I didn’t over-explain my terminology in a throwaway example, ignoring the rest of my comment and the meaning behind it.

Lol losing weight has nothing to do with “eating healthy” im noticing a trend here.

I’m not sure what you are getting at with this statement.
How else does one lose weight then?
