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.

you lose weight by CICO. You either restrict calories in, or increase calories out, it does not matter.

agreed. But it’s not too difficult - buy some zuchinni, potatoes, tomatoes, onion, garlic, eggplant - dice it up, put in a pan, salt, pepper, nutmeg, together with whole, skin on chicken, roast for 45 min and you have a delicious nutricious meal. It’s literally 15 minutes of prep and it feeds a whole family at once. Everyone can do it. There’s no need to buy any processed food.
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.
Subjects were instructed to consume as much or as little as desired.
The study also lasted 2 weeks and had less than 40 people in it. This is a bullshit study, we know people are going to eat ultra processed foods because it tastes good. Hell I’m guilty of it even, I will eat an entire pizza on my own if I don’t stop myself. This study should say, people lack will power to not eat free fast food… it’s a complete nothing burger of a study.
