I think this is bad faith, but I'll put it like this: There's tribes out there that walk 5+km/day or whatever to get food, but their base calorie consumption isn't significantly higher than a sedentary American even with all their walking. There's something definitely weird going on in the human body in which it can modulate its own calorie burn and I don't think science has gotten that yet. Telling a fatty to eat less might be simple, but if the fat person's body fights them every time it might be helpful to trying to figure out how to make the body stop fighting weight loss.
- Aloha 4y agoPeople really like to believe the ol' 'willpower' thing - and its not completely wrong. But its not everything, like willpower might account for 30-40% of results, the rest are often other factors outside of their control Also, love your username ^^
- geraldwhen 4y agoI’ve trained with bodybuilders for years. I assure you willpower and choosing boring foods is a huge factor. Plain chicken, rice, broccoli, water. Try to gain weight.
