    Wait, what?

    My experience is that the healthiest people arent super in the weeds about nutrition. They instead look at their health wholistically. They exercise, sleep well, have fun, and eat real food that they mostly cook themselves. They arent measuring out teaspoons of chia seeds.

    They’ll die

    It’s an established villiage with other existing inhabitants who have been caring for themselves self sufficiently and without trouble for an indefinite period of time, for the sake of this analogy. Also assume they are given additional supplies in lean times when needed.

    But there’s no reason we need to live at the edge of civilization

    I was making an analogy to illustrate my point about how bodyweight management is a product of a wholisticly healthy lifestyle, rather than a function of a specific diet. I’m not suggesting that everyone actually live in subsistance farming villiages.

      This reads more like an idealized stereotype than any actual person’s life.

        Um… okay. Well today I woke up, drank coffee+protein shake, did some chores, lifted weights, then joined my friend at the climbing gym, came home and ate some tacos that I’d meal prepped, then did some more chores in the back yard, and now I’m feeling sleepy, so I’ll shower and go to bed soon.

        I feel like I’m hitting all the marks.
