I don't like to use the word just often but when I say this in relation to eating, it's as a response to the ridiculous diets and other restrictions people force on themselves to lose weight.

They try all of those different diets because "just eating less" doesn't work for them. If it did, they'd already be doing it.

Also, claiming the diets are "ridiculous" means you must have a better understanding of the human body than them, right?

As someone who struggled with weight loss, and got it (and kept it off for many years) via keto and intermittent fasting, perhaps the SAD is the ridiculous diet.
