Sorry if it was misinterpreted, my global point was that there’s a lot going on. The article I picked was about the body compensating calory loss, but there is also other mechanism like increasing stress that boost up appetite in some people. For a lot of people decreasing the amount of calories will be a psychological hell and can’t be done without dramatic changes to compensate. Telling them “reduce your calory intake, it’s not magical” will just be cruel and unhelpful, when they need structural rethinking of basicaly their life. Some other will lose mostly water non-fat stuff and think their diet is working and not understand the ups and downs in their weight, and it’s not simple to manage if you don’t follow your muscle ratio. Other people need to realize they actually don’t suffer much by reducing food intake, but never tried to because of social stigma or all the “influencers” shouting that diet is hard. I’m not kin of the “Just do it” mantra thrown around to large swaths of people. As you point out some people might be on the edge of something, I just think they’ll eventually find what they need to do, while the rest of the people hearing the same message also have a chance of getting deeper in their hole by believing simplistic cheerleading. My message would be “if you care about your health, talk to your doctor to know the actual stakes and see by yourself what you’re comfortable with”
