[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Cook your own food, weight yourself every couple days. Up 5 lbs? Eat a little less than you have been. It really is an simple as that.[/quote]

Amen.[/quote]

Except that it just isn't that simple. I weigh myself maybe two or three times a year, because my weight just doesn't fluctuate no matter how I eat. Super healthy week with tons of fresh produce? No change. Busy week where I'm stress eating or picking up processed crap on the go? I might not feel good, but no change in weight. Low blood pressure and cholesterol, even though I don't exercise and I'm menopausal.

But rather than pat myself on the back for my superiority, I recognize that I clearly hit the genetic lottery, because it doesn't work that way for everyone. Some people will not lose the weight they've gained no matter how much they reduce intake, and they don't have the time or know how to cook every meal from scratch.[/quote]

Sorry, I failed to understand how you know that your weight is always the same, no matter how much you eat, if you weigh yourself only 2-3 times a year.

Not learning how to cook or not having time to prepare good, healthy food is a choice. 
Not losing weight after eating less for a substantial period of time is impossible.
