> hack your body
This seems a bit of a straw-man.
Almost nobody who's telling you to be more healthy will tell you to eat better without also telling you to exercise more.
Also, it's not "hack your body" it's actually "hack your brain" or, more specifically, hack hunger. That's also why there's so many different diets - everyone's different, and what works for one person won't work for another person. But there are some principles that seems to work for large subgroups of the population, e.g. intermittent fasting / skipping breakfast, eating low-carb, eating more protein, etc.
- mjbeswick 5y agoExercise is important, but the befits taper off rapidly. A little exercise goes a long way, but more isn't incrementally better. People need to stop referring to such a goal as weight loss, as what they are really talking about is fat loss. Pro tip; if you want to lose weight most rapidly then don't eat! That works for 100% of people, as we are highly adapted to survive short periods of famine. What we are not adapted for is to have a limitless supply of calorie rich food which requires no effort to obtain; hence the obesity crisis!
- knicholes 5y agoYeah, but then you lose muscle mass and reduce your MBR, so when you start eating again, you'll put it all back on. Losing fat takes a long time and is a result of changing one's eating habits day after day after day.
