You can do whatever you want. All I’m saying is that you will lose weight if your calorie intake from all sources is less than your calorie output from all sources.

I didn’t say just mad was connected. I said that mass and energy, when taken together, are conserved. Mass is just another form of energy.

Huh? No I didn’t, it’s all accounted for.

Unused energy is stored, or passed out as waste (literally calories out).

With every diet, named or not, the weight loss aspect always comes from “calories in vs calories out”.

Some of them, like keto, change the way the body accesses the calories in food, but the math still holds. If your body can’t access the calories in what you eat, they literally become “calories out” when you go to the bathroom later.

Other diets help with mentally being able to track calories better, or to just help you deal with how hard it is to eat fewer calories.

But no matter what, conservation of mass and energy always applies.

Yep, Republicans break things, and get voted out. Democrats try to fix what they broke, but it takes a long time and is expensive and boring, so they get voted out. The cycle repeats, and is grinding us to dust.

Doesn’t “Western medicine failed” imply that you think it should have succeeded?

It’s “slept like a baby”, not “slept like a baby’s parent”. The baby is sleeping just fine, they just don’t need to sleep for long uninterrupted periods like when they get older

Not every medical problem can be fixed. Sometimes life just deals you a bad hand.

Very little, of at all.

That tax argument has never really made sense to me. As an avid cyclist, I don’t know anyone that owns a bike but doesn’t also own a car. I’m sure they exist in big cities, but I’ve never met them.
