Lose weight the slow and incredibly difficult way

I think it's because people just want to find a simple reason that lets them look down on fat people.

'It's CICO! Just lose the weight.' Done. No thought needed, and they get to feel superior.

General knowledge around proper nutrition in western countries is abysmal. In the UK for example I was pretty much convinced by government guidelines that potatoes are unhealthy. That couldn't be further from the truth!

I think this is a bad-faith argument. I didn't see any say "Just lose the weight." There's a difference between acknowledging a fundamental principle and treating it as if that fundamental principle is easy to implement.

Did you read the rest? It’s obviously a shitpost.

Reading it as generously as possible, they’re tongue-in-cheek admitting CICO isn’t easy just like obtaining orbital velocity isn’t easy.
