You have done nothing to refute any of these points because you do not understand the fundamental legal concepts at play here. You have expressed your opinion, which you are certainly able to have, but the objective reality is that freedom

"Fork put downs" does not mean a crash diet or anything like that. It means permanently adjusting your caloric intake to levels that allow you to reach and maintain a healthy body weight and body fat makeup. If you're eating

This isn't the first study to show that our bodies adjust to fairly set caloric expenditure - the constrained total energy expenditure model isn't new, and Ponztner and his team aren't the first to advocate for it, but we sho
