Of course people can consciously choose to exercise six hours a day and starve themselves to reduce their fat mass temporarily. Some people can even keep it up for years. But the fact that this behaviour requires extraordinary willpower which cannot be sustained for a life time does not mean that fatties are morally deficient and character-defective when they fail to sustain it forever. Naturally thin people don't have to exert this superhuman control over their bodies.<br /><br />This is what the CICO folks don't seem to be able to wrap their heads around. Sure no one comes out of a concentration camp fat but this does not mean that forced caloric reduction is the answer to obesity or that conscious overconsumption of calories is the cause of obesity. Eating behaviour is so obviously subconsciously driven; you must be insane or have a very specific agenda to think otherwise.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14107632038306560194noreply@blogger.com
