> I have a colleague at work who runs 5 miles in the gym at lunch, every single day, and is about 20-30 pounds overweight. He is a master of discipline, never misses a day - but simply can't drop the weight he's trying to. All that exercise simply results in him being hungrier, and eating more.
Yes. The problem is people eating too much (although 1h of exercise is not that much, and certainly not a marathon…)
- gruseom 16y agoYes. The problem is people eating too much Saying that fat people eat too much is like saying alcoholics drink too much or that insomniacs don't get enough sleep. It's trivially true, but does nothing to help solve the problem. In fact, it's harmful. To imply that a problem is trivial is to suggest that the solution is easy: just don't be stupid. That's far from the case with alcoholism, insomnia, or obesity.
