From the scattering of stuff I've read that's my impression. People who comply or undergo medically supervised diets do lose weight The keeping it off still seems tricky in a lot of cases, but I have a hunch some of that is because most diets are too extreme

Inb4 compliance is also downstream of body stuff, like hormones, ditto with "falling off the wagon" after the initial success

a few things: 1. weight is clearly extremely homeostatic. I've never been overweight idk what it's like being on a diet but I understand you feel hungry a lot and it sucks. 2. related to above, you'll to maintain a certain energy balance every day and if it's wrong you get fat

3. this seems maybe related to diet because western diets make people and animals fat or something? 4. but if you actually try to isolate which part all you get is noise also 5. poor people get fat more but "healthy" food is, in fact, very very very cheap

6. related to 5, if you go to parts of europe where salaries are low and healthy food is even more expensive you get people in the same real income bracket who are less fat. So...is it...executive function?

rich people are shamed much more aggressively for being fat than poor people is one suspicion I have another is that while such foods are cheap in monetary terms they are not in terms of convenience nor in human capital required to prepare them

what if suffering people just palliate more and have less access to palliation other than delicious food or alcohol
