A preview of coming attractions in this thread:

- Weight loss isn't hard, just eat fewer calories than you burn.

- Keto will obviously make you lose weight!

- I lost N lbs by meditation and intermittent fasting!

- Being hungry sucks.

- Anybody can do it, this one trainer put on 100 lbs, and then took it all off again!

- Being fat is just another sign that you're lazy.

- It's sugar's fault! (Alternatively: It's artificial sweetener's fault!)

- A vegan diet will make you lose weight.

I'll get us started: Being in a caloric deficiency for weeks or months is one of the most miserable experiences you can have. Constant hunger, no energy, always hangry... Yeah. Being hungry sucks.

I’ll contribute with another classic remark ”muscle weights more than fat, you should burn fat not lose weight”

Surprising it doesn't mention waist to height ratio which is more accurate to me. I had a normal bmi but I was clearly overweight using the waist to height ratio. Not perfect but better in my opinion than bmi http://www.bmi-calculator.net/waist-to-height-ratio-calculat...

Anyone got a non-paywall link? Incognito mode doesn't seem to work.

Paste this into the console. It will redirect you to Facebook and then back to WSJ without the paywall.

(Remove the space after ".com", kept link shortening without it)

javascript:window.location.href='https://m.facebook.com /l.php?u='+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);
