[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Change your thought process so you only ever think of the word diet as a noun meaning "the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats."  Never think of it as a verb or as a noun meaning "a special course of food to which one restricts oneself, either to lose weight or for medical reasons."

You cannot go "on" a diet and succeed long term.  You can [b]change [/b]your diet to [b]healthy [/b]food that will fuel your body and provide sustenance.

Eat real, minimally processed food, ideally fruits, vegetables, legumes, seeds and nuts, and grains.  That immediately eliminates almost all of the foods that lead to being obesity.[/quote]

Tell me you've never been obese without telling me you've never been obese. I eat like this now 95% of the time, barely eat over 1500 calories. I'm 150 lbs overweight. It's not that easy for everyone. [/quote]

How did you become obese in the first place? [/quote]

In The Obesity Code Dr. Jason Fung explains exactly how this can happen to a person who is eating normally. He argues that obesity is a hormonal disorder driven by excess insulin.

Age, primarily sedentary desk jobs, screwed up hormones, hypothyroidism that doesn’t respond much to medicine, having children, most lately perimenopause is doing a real number.

I know it’s apparently just so hard to believe that not every fat person is an overeating, lazy slob. I eat healthily, in a calorie deficit the vast majority of the time. Drink 80-100 oz of water a day. I used to exercise a ton, but it made no real difference in losing weight, so now I just try to walk when I have time.[/quote]

There are many good reasons to exercise, but losing weight is not one of them. Metabolisms adjust to keep us near our set weight, which is nearly impossible to change. [/quote]
