You might be surprised how many people were helped by internalizing this simple noncircumventable truths.

Until they do they are susceptible to many get rich (or slim) quick schemes and dreaming they can eat their cake and have it too.

You may go into details once you firmly internalize the base. Not before.

Like, that thing above is promoted all the time - while Americans are getting heavier and heavier. And while most people who loose weight gain it back again and some more.

As an advice, it is most common and there are no promissing long term weight loss results of it.

I suspect that this is largely because for the average person, the majority of their physical activity is a response to the physical organization of their environment rather than a specific lifestyle choice. We've spent the past ~70 years filling America with places where not only does one need to deliberately seek out excuses to physically move, economic and infrastructure factors might also demand that one spend upwards of an hour per day sitting in a motor vehicle.

It's not the most common advice.

Not many understand what causes weight gain and weight loss. As evidenced by my massive amount of downvotes.
