The weight loss, in contrast, will seem relatively predictable and automatic IF I follow the plan of regular exercise and diet control.
I agree.
Can you point to something in the discussion you cited that you considered definitive? It seemed to be a contentious discussion with no resolution or consensus.
I can’t. The discussion made me more open minded to the idea that dieting may be more complicated than I think. I personally find losing weight relatively easy.
I still don’t see any way losing weight can be attributed to much (if anything) apart from eat less, exercise more.
Me neither, in the sense that I’m sure if you control those two conditions with certainty the person will lose weight. What makes things complicated is that the metabolic and psychological responses to that energy deficit and weight loss can apparently make it very costly to some people.
Thanks for the clarification.
