It's not "basic physics." You're implying that "calories in" are all absorbed equally. We poop. Literally. Calories go out that are never absorbed. Every body does this differently. Is that physics too? Also: some people get calories from certain foods that other people don't get calories from. Is that physics? Can you lose weight from a calorie restriction diet? Of course! But don't claim that it's the only answer. It's not. The human body deserves more respect than that.

Of course many diets could work for losing weight. But that’s going to be 20 pounds max for most people. I’m saying that we can lose potentially 50% or even nearly 100% of our body weight through some simple physics. F=G(m1)(m2)/(r^2)

  > even nearly 100% of our body weight through some simple physics. You're really drifting away from reality here. You're going to die well before you lose even close to 100% of your body weight. Yikes!

Some calorie measurements are done via bomb calorimeter- you measure before eating, and then, er, after eating, and subtract the difference. So the inefficiency of poop can be baked in. https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/01/why-the-calorie-is-broken/ https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/01/why-the-calorie-is-b...
