Could you recommend some new research that shows alternative findings that you think is better?
- eps 3y agoEven if the GP can't do that, it doesn't negate the fact that this research is for an extreme edge case and clearly doesn't extrapolate as the title implies.

In contrast to more lab ready fundamental experiments on cell behaviors for instance, diet or metabolism need humans each living their own life and have too many uncontrolable factors to come out with a study that can withstand scrutiny.
- prepend 3y agoI think the point is that this isn’t an extreme edge case and that this research is still useful, even if it isn’t perfect. So the ask for superior research is valid since this is useful.
- sn9 3y agoStudies are constrained by all kinds of factors. It's more useful to look at populations that reliably manipulate their body composition as a learnable, teachable skill like athletes in weight classes and bodybuilders. The fundamentals have been known and practiced for decades at this point.
- petesergeant 3y agoMost athletes haven’t been obese, and many body builders are taking supplements highly likely to confound studies. None of this comes anywhere near to countering the study’s finding that having been obese fucks your satiety for a long time.
- sn9 3y agoYou'd be shocked at how many people start those sports obese and succeed. It just takes them longer. Yes your satiety can be fucked for a while but that doesn't mean that you can't learn to reach your goals anyways.
