sigh, there's one of you in every thread about weight loss these days. it's not that simple, it never has been. you're just flat-out WRONG. you're not the only enlightened person in a sea of idiots. you're not smarter than all the scientists and dieticians on this. if it were as simple as that there would be no scientific inquiry into this area. http://i.imgur.com/0EQF3.jpg http://i.imgur.com/0EQF3.jpg look at this map of the (known!) human metabolism. you think this system is 100% efficient, 100% of the time? you think if you put one calorie in one end, one calorie pops out the other, like a tube of marbles? you really think this? we don't even know how this shit WORKS, let alone the laws regarding its efficiency. but hey, everyone wearing those silly white coats can go home and watch some reality tv, we've figured it out! calories in, calories out! the answer was staring us in the face the entire time! who cares about hormones and metabolic pathways and endocrine pathology and nutrient intake? calories in, calories out! that's all there is to it! quite honestly this kind of intellectual laziness disguised as common sense is the LAST thing i'd expect to find on HN.
