...Except that this is the precise diet with low adherence

"Low adherence" has nothing to do with the quality of the diet.

and much less effective weight loss.

Haha, what's that now? Eating right and exercising isn't "effective" at weight loss?

Even if we do take you at your word that it's a healthy diet, did you have any evidence of 1) adherence 2) weight loss for the majority, or large minority of people going on that type of diet without also restricting calories?

Tell me you're joking. Please tell me you're joking.

An hour per day? That sounds like a ridiculous time commitment. I could probably learn a foreign language off of that amount of extra time in the day!

How many hours a day do you spend trolling GameFAQs?

Not all exercises are the same. My understanding is very spotty on it, so if LW calls me out on something I'm wrong and he's correct, but my belief is that anything on a treadmill is so grossly inefficient that you might as well spend that time playing video games and getting a nicotine patch. Whereas you can get more weightloss in a third of the time with LW's aforementioned HIIT

The rationalization of a fat man: playing video games is just as good for my health as running on the treadmill.

...Did you not pay attention or what? It's not "energy" so much as "willpower exerted". Since it's been experimentally verified that willpower is used up for certain tasks and that one of the tasks where willpower is used on is making dietary choices.

You have this incredible ability to use so many words when saying nothing at all. There's a distinction between "What kind of diet works?" and "What kind of diet are people more likely to adhere to?" I'm not bothering with the second one.

My bottom line here: what it takes to be healthy is a very simple thing to understand. The reason diets fail is because the great majority of people are weak-willed, and a choice as simple as apple vs. apple pie requires commitment and practice. Not really my concern.

Also, do you seriously believe that it's more likely that 20%~ of total Americans (that's the % obese) have "something wrong with them" than you just being bad at predicting how normal people behave, considering you haven't tried looking?

Oh dear, just 20%? I'd put it at a much higher number than that, factoring in all those who are overweight.

Many people are impressed by your sharp and detailed prose,

Thanks!

Once again do you admit the world's normality and your insanity is likelier than the world's insanity and your normality?

...No?

This is a diet for weight loss and not muscle gain. You'd think that after the second minute you'd actually try and google it instead of assuming it's for body builders.

Reading comprehension, brah. No one's talking about the diet you mentioned earlier.

(ps terrible writing is the #1 reason not to get into a technical field)

Are you talking to yourself here, or what?
