I had to drop an argument about diet after explaining how they disproved almost any other theory than CICO with those metabolic chambers that measure the CO2 in the air as you breathe. The guy was and is still convinced your body can just defy the laws of thermodynamics to stay fat. Same guy votes MAGA, loves Elon, loves bodycam footage, and basically eats dinner when he wakes up in the middle of the night due to his weight issues. Dude has no clue about anything, and I’m related to him.
Agreed… that said above poster is onto something here about social media and the role it has been playing on health misinformation.
there are people out there with these issues and staunchly refusing the most basic advice about diet and excersize and latching onto the “healthy at every size” logic as an excuse.
The ‘outlier’ claim is very common now.
While double fisting chocolate and frappes.
But yeah… somehow “it’s their body and it’s condition” letting them down.
Yep. I had subtle metabolism issues and just couldn’t lose weight at all, no matter what I did. Instead, I would just get increasingly exhausted. It was very confusing. Once I addressed the actual root cause of the issue, I started losing weight normally.
Makes me wonder how many “big boned” people who struggle to lose weight have similar undiagnosed issues?
I wonder that a lot myself. So many of the issues I was dealing with all simply boiled down to my immune system killing my thyroid. Once I got medicated and got through the recovery it’s hard to comprehend how I was just dealing with all of that every moment of every day. That stupid little organ does a shit ton of work.

It still comes down to CICO, but there are things like thyroid issues that can fuck with the calories out part of the metabolic process.
Get your thyroid checked.
