Do you equate being fat with being stupid ?
do you equate being fat with lacking willpower?
do you equate being fat with lack of concern about your diet ?
when you’re done with patronising explanations that state the bleeding obvious, as if fat people don’t realise this, maybe actually consider why people find it hard to loose weight or put weight on in th3 first place?
most overweight people I know constantly, and I mean constantly, think about calorie intake const, they berate themselves for a single biscuit, they have done more days restricting calories and exerting huge self control than most normal weight people ever have. Getting overweight and staying overweight is complex. There is often deep routed emotional issues, there is access to high quality and more expensive food, there is lack of skills . for many it is an addiction which gets little empathy or acknowledgment with thin people vs other addictions . But unlike other addictions you can’t cold turkey and withdraw exposure to an addiction to food. Sooner or later we have to eat - no one has quite explains how to permanently manage a withdrawal from food for food addictions
if it was so bloody easy to loose weight and stay thin, why do the overwhelming people who have lost significant amounts of weight, even through surgery, endup putting a lot , if not all, and in some cases more, back on again. The diet industry rakes in millions with easy answers that do not work in long run.
most overweight people spend a life long battle with food. along with that the vast majority are walking around with huge feelings of shame, self loathing, poor esteem and guilt.
I’ll also point out the flaw that you and your mantra of in energy out misses. We are warm blooded mammals. The overwhelming majority of our calorific intake per day goes on heating our blood like a boiler that has to stay on constantly. as well as the smaller amount of energy needed for other organ functions..The difference in calorie intake between most thin and overweight people is normally relatively small , as is the amount of calories burnt in exercise. The body is hard wired to preserve the status quo to ensure our blood stays warm. So, actually go away and do some reading , stuff like why we get tired after exercise and how the body naturally controls energy out . This is relatively recent research but is useful to understand the effects of energy in equals energy out is actually not entirely true, and is way more complex even in thin people or highly energetic people.
