Sugar addiction is more serious than cocaine addiction iirc. "Just stop eating" isn't great advice for fat people. It's about as useful as "just stop being sad" for depressed people.
Right, but that doesn't mean just saying "stop eating" is helpful. It's like telling a crack whore, "stop smoking meth, that's 90% of what you have to do."
One is an addictive substance that will wreck your body if you stop it cold-turkey. The other is soda, which you'll actually feel better after stopping. Incomparable.
Recent findings Available evidence in humans shows that sugar and sweetness can induce reward and craving that are comparable in magnitude to those induced by addictive drugs. Although this evidence is limited by the inherent difficulty of comparing different types of rewards and psychological experiences in humans, it is nevertheless supported by recent experimental research on sugar and sweet reward in laboratory rats. Overall, this research has revealed that sugar and sweet reward can not only substitute to addictive drugs, like cocaine, but can even be more rewarding and attractive. At the neurobiological level, the neural substrates of sugar and sweet reward appear to be more robust than those of cocaine (i.e., more resistant to functional failures), possibly reflecting past selective evolutionary pressures for seeking and taking foods high in sugar and calories.
Sugar consumption is assumed to induce a behavioral state that is similar to the one provoked by addictive substances. Drug withdrawal increases impulsivity, assessed by differential reinforcement of low rate (DRL) performance. The present study investigated the effect of withdrawal from a prolonged period of sugar consumption on DRL performance. Water-deprived rats were trained under a DRL 20 s (DRL 20) schedule. The animals were allowed to choose between plain water and a sucrose solution (E group) or water only (C group) for 30 days. The sucrose solution was then removed, and measures of DRL 20 performance were obtained on 3 consecutive days. Results showed that DRL performance in the C group improved after sugar withdrawal, whereas performance in the E group led to the loss of reinforcers. An analysis of variance-type analysis showed that the E group had higher response rates per reinforcer, lower IRTs, and greater differences between baseline and abstinence than the C group after 3 days of sugar withdrawal. Thus, sugar abstinence after a relatively long consumption period resulted in impairment of DRL performance, confirming the parallel effects of addictive drugs and sugar and suggesting an increase in impulsivity as a consequence of sugar deprivation.
To summarize, sugar addiction and withdrawal have been shown to be real through peer reviewed scientific studies.. Going cold turkey on sugar wouldn't have the same effect as crack withdrawal. But there are side effects of going cold turkey on sugar. So crack addiction and sugar addiction are very comparable, especially considering the scientists compare the two in the first study I linked.
Going to the gym every day is actually pretty counter productive. You're not giving your muscles time to heal. Assuming you're even doing proper exercise that would need a rest period. If you're going and just running on a treadmill for a few minutes or lifting baby weights then you're wasting your time. Look up a proper workout like starting fitness and follow it.
it's not that hard keto is fucking easy, counting calories is probably too advanced for most fatties because it's easy to cheat. You could also just fast which means literally don't eat shit again until your skinny or you can't handle it anymore. I used to be 300lbs and I'm not now and that's because I stopped being a fat cunt.
You know what the best advice for a cocaine addict is? Stop doing cocaine. Until an addict admits they're addicted and starts taking steps to change their habits, their health will continue deteriorating. Acting like telling a sugar addict to stop eating sugar could somehow be bad advice is some galaxy-brain shit
I'm not saying its bad advice. Just not very helpful, do you think crackheads don't know they shouldn't smoke crack? Do you think fat people don't know they shouldn't guzzle a couple 2 liters a day?
Just saying, "stop doing it dipshit" isn't very useful to anyone with mental health problems, including addiction.

Going by the girl math, 210.

So she was probably around 170, and she probably weighed

“I didn’t gain that much weight but it’s probably in the range of about 200%”
Lol
She realizes this is like a man going from 200 to 400 right?

How hard is it to not eat like shit. Stop drinking soda

Lose weight fat ass
1 Scrongdongerton 2019-05-26
I love soda, used to drink 2 liters a day easily. Then a couple weeks ago I was like "Hmm I should stop drinking this."
Guess what, I stopped drinking it. And I eat exactly the same way as I used to.
I also decided I wanted to get into better shape, on an impulse. And wouldn't you know it, I signed up at the gym and have been going every day.
It's almost like it's not that hard to stick to your guns and better yourself if you have even a modicum of impulse control.
1 employee10038080 2019-05-26
Obviously you need to stop drinking soda and eat less junk food. But just saying "eat less fatty" isn't very helpful imo
1 Scrongdongerton 2019-05-26
But that's like 90% of what you have to do. Exercising helps but diet is the most important part of losing weight.

Smh, now you got me finding peer reviewed journals and shit to defend myself.

Shit man, we gotta get you to the White House. You've figured out the solution to America's obesity crisis, "literally stop being a fat cunt."
How has no one ever thought of this before?
