Current Events > why is losing weight considered hard

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just stop stuffing your face with shit food and you will lose weight it's that simple. Don't even have to hit the gym or exercise. Just stop eating a calorie surplus.

.

Sure because you're like a brilliant brain scientist.

you cant be happy if youre trolling a gamefaqs message board on a 6 year old alt account about weight.

i hope your life picks up, friend

---

have you done it TC

anyway i think a majority of it is that people dont know how much calories to eat, and how much calories are in their food. when the back of boxes says "10 calories!" but then its ".000001 servings" its like huh? why is this legal?

and the whole 2000 calories per day is a bunch of baloney. its a made up number. if i ate 2000 calories a day id GAIN weight. my tdde is closer to 1800.

so yeah, its not to simple tc. get your head out of your ass


---

Holidays make it tough honestly. So much food and drink

---

I weigh like 130 and even Im not this dense.

---

Why is not trolling considered hard? Just stop acting like an asshole for attention and maybe people will genuinely like you for once.

---

because it's an addiction.
plenty of people can't just simply stop their habit.
just like drug / alcohol addiction, it needs discipline and it didn't come easy.

Man, you've done what thousands of scientists have been unable to do. You've solved obesity. Send this post to the academy.

On paper it really is as simple as "burn more calories than you take in"

But finding the right balance where you don't make yourself feel like you're dying is difficult for some people. I started getting a little pudgy a year or two ago and went on a strict diet where I only drank water, had a multivitamin every day, and a few granola bars, while doing small exercises. Lost 10 pounds in a week and got my goal body back but felt fucking awful.

You dont need a strict diet of bread and water to lose weight tho

Also...
There should be no poor people. Just get a job and work hard.

Losing weight is way easier than putting on pounds of muscle.

CICO is simple but simple doesn't necessarily mean easy. I had to learn and unlearn a lot of shit before I could get to a point where I was in a safe, sustainable calorie deficit that resulted in long term weight loss and maintenance.

That's not a diet...

Real answer, dieting is 100% mental discipline which is something a lot of people don't have regarding food. You can't just quit cold turkey like other bad habits, you'll will always have to eat and its often encouraged to overeat. Holidays, seconds, desserts, beers with friends and coworkers make it easy to fall into a calorie deficit. Also depending on your level of wealth after working all day and handling the kids calorie dense, nutrient deficient, quick meals are just easier to make.

Because people get addicted to junk food and sedentary lifestyle.

---

it's not, most people just have very poor self-control

If you're fat, body doesn't want to lose weight. You'll be fighting hunger the whole way, which is easier said than done.

There's also the matter of some people having developed food and/or eating into a psychological thing. Like me, for example, the easiest way for me to cheer up is fried chicken.

Losing weight is definitely doable, like when I lost 25 pounds in my early 20's and another 30 in my mid 20's, but it's definitely not easy for everyone.

I'mma tattoo that inspirational OP on my forearm so I can look at it any time I'm feeling hungry.

This. Especially if you actually want to either have a healthy diet or even just keep the weight off, since the majority of diets that are advertised to people aren't actually healthy. And if you want to have an actually healthy diet, just saying calories in, calories out isn't actually a solution, because taking that approach just makes people stop eating entirely.

You can't go on a diet for 3 months to lose weight, and then go right back to what you were doing, because you're going to get all the weight back, and that's the problem people usually have to lead to saying things like "diets don't work".

For an example, your body processes an apple very differently than it processes the same amount of apple juice. There are a ton of factors influencing this (not only that the apple juice is about 99% sugar) so your body has completely different reactions to both things, even if you're technically intaking the same amount of calories from both of them.

Mods really saw that post and decided "nah, let's not even give him a warning".

Brilliant.

As much as TC is trolling, he's kinda right. I was 260 a year and a half ago and I changed my diet, now down to to 215 without touching weights or treadmill.
