As someone who has been shredded, lean, skinny,skinnyfat, fat, obese, and everything inbetween, I can tell you now, its literally all about calorie intake, eating too much.
Ive been shredded eating nothing but junk food, and ive been obese eating nothing but meats and vegetables
>As someone who has been shredded, lean, skinny,skinnyfat, fat, obese, and everything inbetween, I can tell you now, its literally all about calorie intake, eating too much.
As someone (5'7") who's been anywhere between 160-250, and who's purposefully bulked/cut and gone throughout the whole process multiple times, who's done everything from dirty bulking with fast food to purely homeade healthy food bullshit; near 100% agree with you.
My one spooky caveat is alcohol. Even counting calories, when went through an alcoholic stint (drinking to blackout every night for about 8 months, that shit was not good), the weight just never came off. I was at a 500 calorie deficit including alcohol intake, and that shit really fricks that up. Finally quit, changed 0 about my workout/diet, and I immediately started dropping weight FAST.
Cutting bros- quit the alcohol, at least temporarily.
That doesnt work the older you get
>That doesnt work the older you get
It does. First, post 20s in the west, there is a consistent weight gain that is seen across all people. But. Only in the west, and only in modern times. It doesn't occur in other nations. Weight is consistent across the age ranges in other countries; if you are skinny at 18, you are skinny at 40. Of course, events like pregnancy change that. It's modern western life that is the problem; what happens is that most people stop moving around as much, get desk jobs post college, and stop working out/consistently eat out. It's cultural.
I'm 34, and I have just as easy a time losing/gaining weight as I did at 18. The only difference is my desk job for 8 hours/day vs. my college life where I was CONSTANTLY moving. I started gaining weight post college because I wasn't moving 8 hours/day. I added back in walks, cardio during lunch, and calorie tracking, and everything was back to normal.
Same, the leanest and skinniest I've been was when I was eating nothing but chips, chocolate and microwavable meals with energy drinks and soda, just very little of everything, only enough to keep me satiated. I was 128lbs at 6'0 at the time. Even by the time I was 21 or so I was still only 140lbs. Once I started cooking my meals I got up to 180lbs. Didn't get fat on it either but obviously gained 40lbs relatively quickly.
Note that fruit has other things going for it than fructose. It has fiber, vitamins and other micronutrinents like potassium, magnesium, etc.
The fructose that fricks you up is the concentrated ones found in candies and cakes, things without the micro of fruits. >inb4 "frick you vegan"
No, eat meat daily, dairy and eggs too. Just dont villify fruit because fructose is bad. Isolated elements in meat or dairy is also bad if you take it by itself on a highly concentrated amount. Doesnt mean vegans are right and that meat is bad for you.
Exactly. Fruits are also way more satiating than a candy bar, 100g of apples has like 10g of sugar and 100g candy bar can have like 50g of sugar in it. You are way less likely to over consume sugar by eating fruits, than you are by eating highly processed candy.

Post body with timestamp
That doesnt work the older you get
Bullshit unless you mean older than the 55 years that I am. Weight falls off if I don't eat more than 2k daily cals
>ive been obese eating nothing but meats and vegetables
i wouldnt call hotdogs meat
did I really have to specify "unprocessed" meats?
you dumb Black person
then you're probably lying, or overdosed those "unprocessed meats" with oils or butter

>after spending billions of dollars on studies scientists found out the root cause of being fat: eating too much
Fruitarian bros not like this
cute face but Auschwitz mode is too much
Hahahahahaha fricking fat morons
>Mainstream media outlet that only cares about pumping out clickbait articles
I can't take any of this seriously anymore.
NOOOOOO STOP TRUSTING THE SCIENCE THIS IS CHUD THIS IS CHUD!
But fat people don't eat fruit

No fattie gets fat on apples
But lots of fatties get fat on Apple pie
Natural unprocessed fruit is one of the most anti fats foods there are lol.
Plus the fiber in most fruits help break down the fructose, something they never tell you 😉
they do guzzle down large amounts of high fructose cancer syrup
/misc/ is ALWAYS right.
Is this another "news" article wherein it is obvious the author did not actually read the study though?
The Problem is eating to much Carbs AND Fats and not enough protein. If you eat low carb or low fat it's hard to gain weight.
