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!

This is some ignorant shit, you.

How is bread and sugar not plants?? Oversimplifying stuff doesn't make it better...

Say whatever you want but you can’t argue with results my man.

Well, if it works for you, great. But that doesn't mean that it will work for anyone else.

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.)

Yeah that’s a good rule too. Calories in vs calories out.
