"However, the majority of people have a hard time restricting calories, especially in Western societies where food is so freely available."
Sorry what? Nobody is force feeding you. (FWIW, I've been eating once a day, except on weekends, for at least a year now).
- AllegedAlec 8y ago> I've been eating once a day, Completely irrelevant when talking about caloric intake. For all we know, you're gorging on deep fried butter once a day.
- hobo_mark 8y agoSure, but the quoted part still does not make sense, I mean the claim for "the majority of people".
- falcolas 8y agoSure it does. For most people, food improves their mood and removes discomfort. Sweets even go beyond improving mood and into creating something of a high. A relatively inexpensive and broadly available product that makes you feel better and that your body naturally craves? It takes restraint to not consume it in excess.
- wild_preference 8y agoWhy don't you do 1000 squats and pushups each day? It's not hard, you just do it. As easy as writing this comment. Reminds me of that Bill Burr joke where he compares "you ever try to get a six pack?" to "you ever try to get fat? of course not!" My guess is that you don't have a six pack and you know exactly why staying trim is hard. But acting surprised let you plug your irrelevant lifestyle. But if you're serious, then you must have a very hard time understanding people and the modern world if you live in such a bubble so opaque you can't even understand why people get fat. My first step would be to understand it, not trivialize it.
- hobo_mark 8y agoWho said anything about getting fat (projecting?), the article is about dementia. > Why don't you do 1000 squats and pushups each day? It's not hard, you just do it. As easy as writing this comment. Come on now.
