Of course the laws of thermodynamics say that is impossible. You will lose weight if you don't eat. You may not lose weight if you eat moderately, while another person will.
- EForEndeavour 6y agoDoesn't your third sentence contradict your second sentence? If you believe it's "impossible" for people to have conditions where they can't lose weight (in other words: different people experience different difficulty levels in modifying their body composition), then why would you go on to claim that "you may not lose weight if you eat moderately, while another person will"?
- LittlePeter 6y agoIt does not contradict, no. I can lose weight eating moderately but you may not. You may need to eat bordering on starvation to lose weight, which in my book is not "moderate". Basically, my point is, some people have to suffer more to lose weight. But all people will lose weight regardless if they stop eating, because physics.
- EForEndeavour 6y agoThis tired tendency to reduce weight control to physics is patently counterproductive. It's about as helpful as pointing out to a smoker that they'd quit smoking regardless of how addicted they are, if only they could smoke progressively fewer cigarettes, because logic and definitions. Technically correct, but misses the point entirely.
