    If you eat more plants and animals and less breads and sugars you do lose weight and feel better. I’m no science guy but that does work. People over complicate this shit.

      I no longer trust anyone who talks about “plants” or “animals”. It turns out, every single plant or animal is doing something different!

      If it copies like a pasta, it’s copypasta!

        fruit sugars are prolly fine

        Fruits in general aren’t as good for you as general thinking have them. The majority have been bred to be so exaggerated in their sugar content that, as an example, you can’t feed pet primates fruit very often or they will get diabetes (without getting into the horrors that keeping primates as pets encompasses). You can quickly get an idea of this by searching for ‘wild strawberries vs grocery strawberries.’

        The fibrous parts of fruits is good, the ‘nutritional’ aspects of them are decent, but the absolute black-hole-mass of sugar on the one side of the teeter-totter is a pretty big negative for them.

      You’re over complicating this shit.

      Weight loss is primarily just calories burned minus calories eaten…

      (times some factor, plus/minus some constant, ignoring higher order terms, excluding exogenous variables, etc.)
