I know it's preferable to live in a world of simple rules like "sugar = bad", but we don't.

It's basically impossible to eat enough fruit that the sugar content exceeds healthy levels. In general they have lots of water and fiber and you'll feel full way before overeating. Then during digestion, the sugars take a lot of time to break down unlike corn syrup which just explodes into your liver. If everyone switched to a diet of 100% fruit (not even including veggies!), obesity would basically disappear. I think a few high sugar density exceptions exist though.

For example:

This is how Steve Jobs killed himself so yeah please go do this and let us know when your pancreas explodes. Idiot

do people really think they won't lose weight if they eat 1500 calories a day? that's, like, all you gotta do. maybe you have some gene that makes this "feel" impossible, i'll give u that

is anyone disputing this? if so, splain urself

Stupid and/or lazy people really think there's some magic reason they are fat and not because they eat too much because admitting as much means they hosed up.

RC always has to come out in these threads acting like he's going to educate goons about why we shouldn't judge people for loving up their bodies but sticks with it no matter how many times is told "lol no idiot". It's almost admirable if it wasn't so pathetic.

Edit: You want training yourself I've somehow taught my drunk on the weekend self to eat carrots and potatoes when I'm smashed instead of diving into a bag of Doritos. Even I'm surprised I've pulled that off.

Actually had to look up HAES. What the gently caress is that?
'Focusing on health and wellbeing rather than weight control'?
What the actual gently caress?
If you want health and wellbeing weight control is like the most important and controllable aspect.

HAES is just short hand for "I have given up on up life but I'm no where near brave enough to actually consider suicide so I tell myself that my wildly out of shape self is just healthy as someone who puts in time to exercise."

They are also so used to felling kinda lovely that they think that's the normal when rest of us don't even feel that same level of bad that when we have the flu.
