Why the calorie is broken

I read that post as "your diet has the right proportions of things, just too much of them? Great, just eat less of your existing diet. Still not losing weight? Eat even less!"

I agree with you that changing your diet seems like generally a much better idea.

yes, it's a much better idea. i've lost 30 pounds in the last 6 months by cleaning up my diet and working out.

at the end of the day, losing weight is work. there's no way around it. work is generally slightly uncomfortable, and if you're not at least a little bit willing to endure that, you aren't going to see results. i treat gym time and kitchen time like office time. it's just work i have to do. it's not a big deal. after i get this work done, i can relax and chill out and do something mindless.

and really, in the end it's an individual decision. you have to decide, do i give a shit about this? you don't have to give a shit about it. if you don't, that's fine. if you do, then get to work.

maybe in 20 years things will be different, but that's how it is now.
