in what way?
I wouldn’t take advice on overcoming poverty from someone who has never experienced it
I wouldn’t take weight loss advice from someone who has never experienced obesity (I.e. insulin resistance)
sure but “watch what you eat” is sound advice with a proven track record. “stop being poor” is something else entirely.
“Watch what you eat” and “count calories”/“just eat less” are not the same thing though, that’s my larger point
i mean they basically are tho. if you’re counting calories, you’re watching what you eat. you’re not eating a big mac combo everyday bc it’s under your calorie limit and expecting to lose weight, unless you’re dumb, in which case an unhealthy BMI is the least of your concerns.
you’re right about insulin responses, but if someone is 350 lbs and eats mcdonald’s every day, telling them to count calories is pretty good advice and most certainly the proper starting point for dieting.
You’re wrong. That person could eat McDonald’s every day and lose weight, as long as they only ate beef pattys. There are tons of videos on YouTube of people doing this exact thing.
When bodies are insulin resistant the only way to lose weight is cut carbs. It’s a very different metabolic standpoint than a healthy body, which can simply reduce calories and lose weight.
“Move more, eat less” is bad advice for someone with insulin resistance and its many complications because it will not work for them.

*posts video of non-obese healthy guy giving diet advice*
wut.
He’s a guy doing an active experiment and sharing his exact data
I’m talking about the people who have never experienced insulin resistance who are naively convinced it’s all calorie deficit and willpower
