I would read/watch about the fitness coaches who volunteered to eat poorly and gain weight to experience what their clients went through. They were all very surprised that despite knowing how to eat and exercise well and effectively how much their willpower flagged, how difficult hunger was to address, and how much more difficult it was to lose the weight than they expected.
Calories in/calories out is simple, but not easy. People who feel hungry fail at maintaining their diets long term. We do not have less willpower or discipline than people in the 1970s, yet so many people are overweight now. Even wealthy people with serious resources remain overweight. This points to a systemic problem, not merely personal failing.

Anecdotally, do you know the percentage of fitness coaches that weren’t able to get rid of their increased weight? I have the unreasonable inclination to try this for myself in order to experience what it’s like.
- SyzygistSix 4y agoAll the ones I read about were. It was just much more difficult than they expected. And they are generally in great positions to do so. Most of their clients, and those who can't afford to be their clients, not so much.
