Razwell is of course completely right. Losing weight is IMPOSSIBLE without a gastric by-pass or the like, let alone keep it off. Amd Evilcyber is a prime example of that.

Sarcasm off

I think I have enough of being insulted by you.

As for your link: note that Dr. Paschos talks about “excess” calories. I’ll have to contact him myself to find out if he means to imply that weight gain would even happen when eating at TDEE.

YOU are a SCAMMER.

Lastly, as Dr. Leibel has said, “the body has a mind of tis own regarding body weight.”

It will DROP total energy expenditure by 25% if you lose even 10 % of your weight. The effect does NOT go away.

If YOU were better read, you’d know this. DR. Friedman has noted our genes CAN CHANGE in 30 years. WATCH his lecture, FOOL.

“The caloric hypothesis is FAR too simplistic to explain the regulation of body weight, which is highly complicated, by itself.”

Dr. Garret Fitzgerald

I SPEAK to him.

You have a kindergarten understanding of obesity.

EDUCATE YOURSELF.

Watch Urgelt’s Obesity Video.

YOU have a KINDERGARTEN understanding of an extremely complex biological phenomenon. I am in direct contatc with Dr. Leibel AND Dr. Rosenbaum. And Dr. Jeffrey FRiedman as well.

YOu have no idea what you are talking about. 80 to 90 % of the variance in obesity can be ascribed to GENETIC factiors. There are MANY obese poeple who have great habits and REMAIN fat.

NONE of this contradicts “thermodynamics.” Down this road you do not want to go with me. I have looked at this every single day for many hours since 2008. Christopher Jarzynski and Dr. Gavin Crooks , Dr. Lawrence Krauss and Dr. Tyson ( as well as numerous M.I.T. and Harvard physics professors) PERSOANLLY told me that obesity is a BIOCHEMICAL MATTER and that people such as yourself are ABUSING the First law to blame obese poeple.

It does NOT say whay YOU think it does. YOU make EXTRAPOLATIONS. The Firs Law has a VERY limited scope and reach . It does NOT at all address the causes of obesity whatsoever.

Hahaha! 😀

I will have to ponder the last sentence.

Yes, addiction could be another factor. I know that when I felt down back when I was overweight, I at least had a tendency to make up for it by eating when I felt depressed. That way, eating becomes a form of medication.

Maybe you have also seen my article about overweight persons potentially not eating more only in depressed, but also in an elated mood.

And you need to link the research that backs up your claims. What you wrote has little to do with what the mentioned Drs. do. Dr. Rosenbaum, for example, has this to say about inheriting obesity:

“It is not that our genetic makeup is changing to make us fatter. “Progress” has resulted in an environment in which many genetic tendencies that conveyed distinct advantages to our ancestors are no longer good for us. […]These genes become maladaptive in an environment that offers an unbridled opportunity to consume calorically dense foods and participate in a sedentary lifestyle.”

So yes, when trying to lose weight you have to fight against your body’s urge to keep its weight. But nobody actually questioned that and it also doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Restricting calories is precisely what Rosenbaum and Leibel did to have people lose weight in their studies of leptin:

“In the current study, Drs. Rosenbaum and Leibel gave leptin to people who had lost weight to see if the hormone could help overcome their bodies’ tendency to gain the weight back. They sequestered four people, one of whom was overweight, in the hospital and reduced their weight by 10 percent with a strict diet and prescribed amounts of activity. As predicted, after weight loss, each person needed 20 percent to 25 percent fewer calories to maintain their lower body weight, their muscle efficiency increased, and they had lower leptin levels due to fat loss.”

It is hard to lose weight, it may even be harder to maintain that weight, but it definitely can be done. I choose to not believe that I’m powerless against my genetic or whatever urges and I hope you don’t either.
