re: Gary Taubes: ‘Obesity isn’t a calorie problem, it’s a hormone problem’

You can’t jumpstart your metabolism and what you eat makes zero difference for weight loss. It might make it easier to adhere to a particular WOE, but you can eat McDonald’s fries and slurpies and lose weight, you would be unhealthy and feel like shite, but you could lose weight. No diet is superior to any other in terms of weight loss, only which WOE a person can adhere to.

And with that I’m out. Arguing weight loss is worse than religion or politics. I think we agree on about 75% of this.
