Are you really trying to say that promoting a nutritious diet supported by physical activity doesn't work for "most people"? You call that engaged advocacy?
What he claimed is true and backed by multiple studies. Doing a healthy dose of physical activity with a healthy diet can only be beneficial, no downside whatsoever. It's quite underrated I guess. Too many humans wish for a magic pill, they delude themselves into thinking that it must be better than healthy living habits, since it's more modern. People are looking for the lazy fix.
- lanstin 7y agoWhat he said is imagining you will start eating well and exercising is rather far from eating well and exercising. I know of no intentional changes that are less successful than trying to eat healthy for the rest of life. Even smokers have better luck with quitting. (Talking long term here - eating better for six months isn’t that useful).
- maxerickson 7y agoYes, that's the point, people don't do the whole good lifestyle thing and in many cases will be better off taking a drug vs not taking it. I would say my comment is criticism of the advocacy in the other post, not really advocacy itself.
