Then I can say, if your body composition didn't change, if your body energy stores didn't change and X went out, then X must have had to come in.
If your body composition did change, I can subtract the change.
And now I know how much energy you took in.
And I know it without having to ask you.
And it turns out that people don't accurately report.
Their food intake, their energy intake on average, and the bias, the discrepancies are not random.
So more obese people tend to under-report their energy intake more and their age, sex, race, gender differences, etc.,
Oh, I mean, the list is huge.
I think one of the things we've gotten really wrong, which is more speculative on my part, some of the other things I could mention are less speculative, but this one I think is interesting, although speculative.
I think one of the biggest things we've gotten wrong, especially in the last couple of decades, is this implicit notion that there is a diet, there is a way of eating,
that for most people, the vast majority, if they ate this way, they would achieve a desirable body weight without having to explicitly think about restricting their calories and feeling deprived.
And I think in the current society, unless you are on a drug that makes you feel differently, which now we do have around this, I think that's a fictitious fantasy.
No.
Okay.
Tell me.
What I mean is that while there may be, whether there's multiple ways or one way,
That if the outcome is a certain weight, that for probably somewhere in the neighborhood of two thirds of the US population, that there is no way of eating that will have them achieve that weight without any conscious attempt to control energy intake and without any feelings of restriction.
Just eat between this time and this time.
Just eat whole fruits and vegetables.
Just eat high volume.
