To think people are uneducated about weight loss?

Someone posted in a weight loss I used to follow that they were doing the keto diet (low to zero carbs) and they could have as much oil, mayonnaise and butter as they wanted as there was no calorie counting but now they’ve switched to this diet and finally seeing results.

Aibu to think no wonder you weren’t seeing results if you weren’t tracking your calories whilst eating high fat food?

The fact is, people who are 'naturally slim', just don't actually eat that much. We have probably lost sight of healthy portion sizes. Apparently French women who are slim will eat everything, but only a couple of bites. All these diets and ways of eating may result in weight loss but aren't sustainable.

We just need to reduce the amount of food we put in our gobs! It's the basis of Paul McKenna's 'I can Make You Thin' stuff, but sticking to it is the hard part...

There's a lot of magical calorie thinking.
Carbs are magic calories
sugar is extra bad magic calories
Hypothyroidism makes calories magical
PCOS makes calories magical
Going into Keto... makes calories magical
Depression makes them magic, too.

Must be a cure for world hunger in all the magic calories, I reckon.

Don't know about the rest lljkk but I reckon my body is pretty magical in terms of energy conservation! Takes a lot for it to delve into those fat reserves! I'm trying to persuade it to utilise some of that investment. Must have cost me quite a bit that fat.
