Yeah this “thermodynamics” thing is so stupid, there’s enough energy in a sugar cube to power my home for months.

I also probably have the genetics to “keep warm” which helps if you want to lose weight, and as a male I don’t get the hormonal changes at a certain age that makes you gain weight, etc. etc. etc.

Then we have those who just expertly state “eat less”, yeah man who would have thought eh.

On a more reasonable scale, things like ditching sugar (including fruit, corn, cooked carrots etc) make wonders, probably because dropping that addiction (which is hard) makes it easier to eat less.

Sport in itself cannot outrun the spoon,but it might fire up desires to be in good shape, and lose weight might be part of that, and that’s really something, IMO.

Good luck with your long term goals everyone!
