Yep, way to many people over eat, and it has nothing to do with what’s in the food, people are just super seditaty these days and eat constantly.
Clicking the downvote button doesn’t magically make me wrong. There is a reason that you can eat straight Twinkies for a month and watch the calories and still lose weight. You’re not smarter than physics.
Bitching about down votes doesn’t magically make you right. You’re being downvoted because what you said is idiotic.
It has a lot to do with what’s in the food. Sure, if you eat nothing but 1500 calories of Twinkies every day, when you were eating 3000 balanced calories, you’ll lose weight.
That is about 12 Twinkies. Not even an entire box of Twinkies. And that’s all you get to eat in a day.
It would be much easier to reduce calories if half of them were from vegetables and the other half from meat. Feeling hungry has a lot to do with why diets fail. You can’t just apply physics to the human body and expect emotional and hormonal changes not to have an impact on the choices that human makes.

you’re saying like eating twinkies is the only option. Veggies and meat are in every market. Are people generally this stupid that they think they have to only eat junk food?
I think SupraMario has a good point - people (over)eat and they sit all day, every day. Personally, I eat a shit ton - but I also burn a shit ton, about 900 calories extra daily through exercise. If i didn’t exercise I would probably overeat, too. We need to get people off their asses.
73% of all of the food sold in the US is considered ultra processed, so no it’s not just Twinkies, but at this point unless you’re only buying neat and vegetables, you’re buying something that is lower in nutrients and bound to make you feel more hungry than you would if you ate something nearly identical that you made yourself.
Getting up and moving is great, I’m not discounting exercise. You do not lose weight by exercising. You lose weight through diet control.
Naa I’m being down voted because people want the easy way out, all the time. You’re the same type that runs with the Healthy at any size. The same groups that promote that sudo science bullshit. No where did I say it was healthy to eat Twinkies and lose weight, but acting like people are fat because of the food that’s offered is a fucking cop out.
Actual studies have been done on this. You’re not only wrong but you’re scientifically wrong.
Eating ultra processed foods are not only unhealthy, they also cause you to eat more than you would if you were eating exactly the same thing with real food.
An argument you’ll note that is not only consistent with my guest comment, but actually argues for people doing more work than they’re likely doing to lose weight.
Literally every point you made was incorrect.
That’s part of it but the deeper question is why are people more sedentary? Why do people eat more often?
What is it about our society that promotes eating more processed foods?
My feelings are that food for many people is a sedative for a stressful life. Sugar is a great drug to make you feel good temporarily.
Then there is very little quality education around good nutrition and cooking in the US. Most people just take what the learned from their parents and go with it. And if their parents weren’t food smart then they probably will not be either.
there is a lot more to the obesity epidemic than just “stop eating so much”
I run approx 5k a day because I overeat lol. Only way I keep from being 300 pounds.
