Actually it's pretty easy. Whatever energy you put in, that will be used. Stop drinking cola, eat burgers and more salad. The whole thing is just willingness.

Actually it's pretty easy. Whatever energy you put in, that will be used. Stop drinking cola, eat burgers and more salad. The whole thing is just willingness. Even there are things like gut bacteria transfer, and so.. still. Even with the wrong bacteria it's a matter of what and how much you eat.

No fucking duh. It's just that some people have to deal with chronic pain to control their weight, while other people can't seem to put weight on no matter how much they try, and yet other people are able to maintain a healthy weight no matter what they eat. It has been shown that some people's gut bacteria are far more efficient at extracting energy from what is eaten than other people's bacteria. And somewhat counter-intuitively, the bacteria that is more efficient at extracting energy is also faster at processing the food (with bowel movements up to 3 times faster than the less efficient gut bacteria). So those with gut bacteria that harvest the energy the most effectively are also going to be those who experience chronic empty stomach. If you don't like what people eat why don't you control what they eat? It's just a matter of exercising your will to control other people. No big deal. You should be able to do it right? Any particular reason you aren't running a 3:52 minute mile? Just a matter of will to develop those muscles, right?

  I didn't want to upset you. Nope, while I mainly agree with what you say, it's still what you put in is what will be used. We say, it's brutto on a day scale. All the other factors are just parameters of what has been used up in time, like how much energy in sport (variable), what's the capacity of the gut bacteria/hour, the amount of muscles and the basic energy consumption, ..., I want to call them netto(s). In the end, brutto - netto = 0 should be aimed uppon. So: Brutto - usedUpSport - usedUpBacteria - ... = 0 If you're at balance, fine. Out of balance in both directions is to be viewed from different points. So if you can't do sports, you should ingest the equivalent of energy less to have a lower brutto. This means eat a salad instead of chips. So bacteria, whatever is of course an big big big effect. I have had a time in my live where I got vanco and gento in high doses at least once a year for like 3 weeks in a row. For like 7 years. I didn't become big poppa, because of the bad bacteria allegedly caused by stark antibiotics over time. And then, I've had a chance to allow my guts to rest like for 8 weeks, in which the lower bowels after ilio didn't got any food (Iliostoma). But before the Iliostoma, the treatment with 7 different antibiotics was necessary. 3 were reserved antibiotics, then vanco, gento and not remember the others. After that I was completely free of whatever may have lived inside me. Then, the stoma has been laid back an me healthy like hell. Nothing for 7+ years. Nothing. Even when I wanted to fall ill.. so yes, absolutely! But still, I eat not more than before because I have better bacteria again. I'm always hungry, yes, but prefer a healthy snack every time to still hunger.. and I'm not big poppa. I don't do sports, otherwise I have to consume more proportionally not to lose mass. It's all willingness. It's your freedom to decide what, when and how much you eat. If you can't say no to the cake, then compensate it some where other time.. each one knows his own body the best :) No one wants to force you or someone other. It's like, you can have transplant stool/bacteria of a healthy, "thin", donator. There are old study cases where very very obese people have been able to loose weight - while still eating like before more or less. Like Master Yoda would say "small will you have. Other bacteria you need. Eat less you must. Other bacteria then you don't need" It's just, I keep mental track of what I eat, so I know when I can allow me some sins. It's my willingness and my choice. No one forced me.

    You have a good thing going. I actually don't disagree with your advice, I disagree with how you are phrasing it. And also with generalizing your own experience as a seeming moral imperative to everyone else. > No one forced me. Very few people are being forced. That isn't what the disagreement is about. Should people criticize you about your lack of will with respect to parts of your life that aren't ideal?? This is what the pushback is about, the inherent criticism of your comment. In general people are more open to advice that is phrased as "this is what I did and it worked for me, it might work for you", and less open to advice that is phrased as "this is the one correct key thing and anyone who pays attention to other factors is in the wrong".

      No offense. The formula is just that easy. In the 90ies there have been cases of starved half naked people found laying in the sun on gras in, as I remember, Switzerland. The starved ones all belonged to LUX and they believed in light and energy and a state of mind and body allowing them to eat just on light. All dead. So, this is what underpins my theory, without Input your balance is negative. With to much input the balance is positive. It's important to keep it in wage. No matter where the start is.
