Edit:
"If you're calling 1500 a day a crash diet, making up numbers, and think education is a pointless endeavor, then I can't continue this conversation."
I said previously, I don't care about your personal diet,
as it has little to do with how the CDC should dictate policy.
The diet I described was a crash diet.
'education is a pointless endeavor'.
You are putting words in my mouth, my point, of course, was that knowing about CICO
doesn't change the fact that weight loss takes a long time, is hard, and requires resources that many don't have access to.
A word of warning, keeping it off is also hard when you've been fat, so prepare for that.
Since we won't speak again, I want you to interrogate why you are emotionally engaged with this topic. I had similar thoughts about how other people should behave when I discovered how to lose the weight, but realized only later that those thoughts made me view all fat people in a dim light, that it was ok to assume bad things about them, to view them as in need of 'education' like you advocate for.
If you ignore everything else I've said, please think about the perspective of a
person who has lost 120 lbs, but is still 280lbs, and are receiving their 100th unsolicited lecture about CICO from someone like you. Most fat people go through that, from elementary school to adulthood in the US. It's pointless, they definitely don't want to hear about that from a stranger.
