I think we’ll probably find out in a few years that Long COVID / neurological deficits after infection have a much wider prevalence than we currently think

This isn’t a meme. It’s just unbelievably stupid.

Are you really arguing to include a disease in normal weight loss mechanisms?

What’s next, telling me all about how tapeworms help weight loss?

The fuck outta here.

Please point to another mechanism by which weight is lost.

Proper intake of vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients is above the scope of what we’re discussing.

Proper nutrition absolutely able to be maintained at a caloric level that would facilitate weight loss.

Stop arguing in bad faith.

Are you not aware of what “simplest” means?

Did I say that measuring calories is the end-all, be-all of nutrition and dietary knowledge?

Don’t put words in my mouth.

Measuring how many calories you eat in a day is literally the simplest form of managing your own nutrition.

Tracking how many calories you burn is likewise something so accessible a child can (and frequently does) do it.

What is so difficult to figure out, again?

Almost like the only “scientific knowledge” you need is to burn more and take in less.

Definitely one of those times where I go “Oh shit, I never did get around to watching that, did I?”

Thanks for helping out the terminally unaware.
