One does not become 100lb overweight because of "margins". One becomes 100lb overweight because they are doing 100mph in a 35mph zone so "slow the hell down" is

  You also don't become 100lb overweight because you eat your first meal at 12pm instead of 8am. That's what that comment was saying; the only obvious advice is eat less and exercise more, and it works 100% of the time for all bodies.

    Yes, thank you, lol.

    And of the two eating less is more important. The human body is remarkably efficient when it comes to exercise. Also important is eating your food in a manner (e.g., smaller portions more frequently) that you don't ever get really hungry. Extreme hunger leads to binge eating which can easily undo any calory deficit you managed that day.

  Of course you do. That's like saying that you don't end up $100 in debt by having a deficit of $1 a day.

    > Of course you do. That's like saying that you don't end up $100 in debt by having a deficit of $1 a day. You do not. 100lbs is excess of 350000 calories "stored" and for every extra lb one's BMR increases. By the time someone is 100lbs overweight just to maintain that weight they would need to consume another gallon of ice cream every day. You are playing with margins when you are 1-5lbs overweight.
