Personal experience: the first time i took buproprion/naltrexone it became clear to me why people that arent and have never been overweight think "just eat less move more" is the only advice you need.


> eat less move more

That's not the only advice. But, without that piece, you are unlikely to make progress. Hence all other advice is secondary to it.

> The mouth. That magical orifice where the cake enters and the excuses exit.

I don’t think you’re a font of nuanced advice on fitness.


Yeah, just like telling a heroin addict that getting clean is easy, just stop doing heroin.

Oh except the heroin is available literally everywhere and you need to do just a little bit every day to stay alive


Except it's not typically very effectively actionable advice.

It's more in the realm of "just be happy" to a depressed person. Sure, that'd help a lot. It's the how that's tough. So we move the levers that aren't rusted solid first.
