> I think everyone knows that "works" on paper. You'd think so, but people with science or math degrees have said, it doesn't work for me, even though I point out that we're talking about laws of physics, not about willpower. Never mind the average person. The average person will not agree that "eat less, exercise more, guarantees weight loss". Regarding your other point, I know that everyone is looking for a shortcut, trick, or something that works for them. I'm saying that with the insane volume of unreliable studies and advice, it's simpler to ignore it all and try one rule that will work.
