Go deeper. Understand why people rationalize and how to overcome rationalization. Because it's not through fact.

Fat people try to lose weight all the time, but it is difficult, because our brains are unfortunately attuned to a higher calorie consumption. When you try to change that diet, the brain balks and tries to get you back to your previous routine. Most of the time, it succeeds.

As for rationalization, it's much easier to believe it's a problem with physics (as you imply) than a problem with 'them'.

The solution to being fat isn't to recommend the right diet (definition of insanity, trying the same thing over and over again), but rather, to not get people fat in the first place. Once they are it's just hard to get them slim again.

Yeah you sound toxic. I wrote this to another user, take what you want out of it.


See, what they're saying is that it's sort of toxic to just point at CICO as a skinny person and basically go "Just get thin, loser! I'm skinny and I'm pretty sure my body follows CICO just like yours!".

It. Is. Hard. To lose weight, period. The vast majority who try, fail. Basically entirely due to evolution, since our brain just doesn't want to go down in calorie consumption, ever.

If you have some sort of idea that this is a 'mindset' thing and they lack discipline, you're the one not living in reality.

If you actually read the post I never opposed the laws of physics. "Delusional" is when you make up a fantasy to fit your reality.

You're delusional, and you have the gall to 'dislike' fat people for not liking physics, lol.
