Why do people find weight loss difficult when it’s literally basic arithmetic?

same reason people find budgeting difficult, they literally can't or won't do basic arithmetic or long-term planning
it's not a coincidence that the fattest people you see are also the most broke

food/sugar addiction, same base reason why so many people do other dopamine-seeking behaviors at the detriment to their health/finances/social standing

Most people are bad at behavior change and would rather complain

I stopped bulking two weeks ago and instantly went to only eating two meals a day and a water protein shake. I find losing weight way easier than cutting and I have to stop myself from tanking my calories so early because I have an extremely small appetite

I think a more pervasive issue is people not understanding how to maintain weight. If you're eating close to true maintence all weight loss efforts would stick and be cumulative. Even short term efforts. But the problems with logging are so vast the average person can't just not lose weight they can't stop gaining it

Most people find arithmetic hard unless you put a dollar sign in front of it.

>Food tastes good
>People have social events to go where you cannot count calories
>Cardio is hard
>Mostp eople don't want to count calories
>Some people start and get discouraged after a couple weeks, so stop
Pretty straight forward

Because being hungry sucks.

>>76749554 (OP)
Because it required reading (this filter out 90% of "humans" out there) to understand macros/micros and which are the most satiating food (calories/nutrition value ratio), so they always end up going on crash diets that fuck their shit up
