>Bruh, we're not doing this anymore. If weight loss was easy, we wouldn't have an adult obesity rate of 40%. Yes, yes, a handful of extraordinarily motivated individuals can successfully restrict calories to lose weight. But very clearly most people can't.

I do not agree with this. Those studies being used to push the idea that "diet and exercise failed obese people" are flawed, and I posted a comment on this post explaining all the flaws. You can choose to respond to them instead; I won't copy paste it here.

Weight loss requires a calorie deficit, and the average person has no training or education for this. Why would you expect them to be good at something they've had no education or training in? 40% obesity rate is not surprising when no education/training exists for average person.

We've already achieved guaranteed results within 2–3 weeks for free (we make no money from this) for all of our users for weight loss or gain, with validation from 17,000+ users for free.

If we are just "scammers," how do we make money by pushing this idea?

You can read reviews and testimonials from people.

The method we use is "slight deficit", see this: https://macrocodex.app/knowledge/rethink/adaptive-tdee/ (you can find all citation/research being used to achieve this)

Our solution is available for free to use!

A deficit so small that most users won't even know that they are at deficit!

You know that if i remove 150kcal from your diet, your wouldn't notice? that's like 2 slices of bread. So the hunger suppression will never be a question for vast majority of fat people

150kcal deficit over a year = 7.1kg or 15.6 lbs lost! and 300kcal = 31.2lbs or 14.2kg!! all this without any injection or drug without any exercise or severe loss of lean masss

>You're conflating association and causality.

Same is true when you talk about positives of GLP-1s, most of the benefits actually come from "calorie restriction" and it's very hard to seperate which part comes from where.
