“100% of the time is is consuming more calories than expended.”

“You keep repeating that but you are wrong.”

Individual metabolisms are quite varied by hormones, muscle mass, age and activity levels. That is indisputable.

“100% of the time it is consuming more calories than expended.”

That is also indisputable.

If you’re not happy with your burn rate, increase it through increasing muscle mass and making your mitochondria in every cell bigger and more efficient...through aerobic exercise.

And weight training.

40-50% changes are achievable. You just have to do the work.

And put down the fork.

Or, live in the deluded world of helpless victims.

Dude, I also spent decades lifting weights. Along with running 30-40 miles a week. It was NOT a lack of exercise! But you cannot exercise your way into weight loss if your body is heavily into fat-storage mode. You need to change your underlying hormone issues. And that IS possible, but NOT by doing “calorie in/calorie out and lift weights”. Because I tried that for DECADES without success - and Keto/IF have brought success with almost no effort on my part.

“100% of the time it is consuming more calories than expended.”

Simple not true. That law of thermodynamics crap is just crap. We are not closed systems. Your body can shed calories by a variety of means, not just exercise. And your body can let food pass through as needed. And your body - this is critical - can tell you “Don’t eat any more, we don’t need it!” And THAT is when you are on the road to long term, healthy weight loss!

Maybe you’ve never known anyone who can eat like a horse and stay thin. In high school I knew a gal who ate like a pig and struggled to stay just above 100 lbs. She was miserable. Her body burned everything she could eat. I can gain weight breathing deep while passing a bakery. I lost 45 lbs in the 9th grade - the first of my big diets. I’d be eating 1/10th of what she ate, while I struggled to lose weight and she struggled to keep it!
