A human body obeys thermodynamics.
- Yeehaw789 7y agoTrue. As well as when and what foods you eat may change your metabolism.
- rhinoceraptor 7y agoTo paraphrase Peter Attia, this is akin to answering the question, "Why is Bill Gates so rich?" with, "Because he gained more money than he spent". What we really care about is why people are eating more than they expend, and how we can get people to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight unconsciously.

- gamblor956 7y agoFor the human body, chemistry matters more than thermodynamics... For example, diet soda has no calories, but has biochemical interactions that mimic those of regular soda, resulting in the trigger of hormones like insulin that trigger the body to store fat. Even worse, other biochemical reactions can kill the good gut flora lower down in your digestive system. Based on some studies, you're arguably better off just drinking regular soda despite the calories.
