Bullshit. The fallacy is that someone can care only about weight loss.

I tried it for years. I burn 2200 cal/day so I can eat a large Cinnabon every day (800 cal) and still lose weight.

The problem is it fucks your insulin resistance and turns into diabetes.

So, I don't consider a solution viable if one of the side effects is death.

I'm not going to fight you on the point, see my note at the bottom. I feel most people say weight when they mean fat.

Medically speaking, it is always about fat. If a doctor tells you to lose weight, they mean fat.
