  1. @BritishKoalaTea it's not calories that determine weight gain or weight loss: it's hormones.

    I have written about that here butterbei.de/en/posts/caloric- and in various other locations on the site.

    Limiting calories mimics starving.
    Changing the macronutrient balance changes body composition.
    Activity helps, but is secondary for weight loss in general: ideally you'd like to gain weight there (muscle)

  2. Hunger (in the Plural)

    We act as if there were only one kind of hunger - there are actually three, and the dietary guidelines mostly talk about number four.

    If you think that can't work... I think so too.

  3. Let's get down to (Buttered) Brass Tacks:
    How much does a calorie weigh?
    And have you ever looked at an Ikea-shelf's fuel-value?

  4. Let's get down to (Buttered) Brass Tacks:
    Caloric Balance: Cause or Effect?

    The article that I have linked and sent most, so far. And it's only 1½ months old:

    Calories-in-calories-out is the usual way that weight-gain and weight-loss are described, and the usual way that works until it doesn't.
    Exchange cause&effect to learn the underlying biological principle and what really works. No more counting calories - they become irrelevant.
