Them:

Obesity is mostly genetics, and after that, it's hormones. You can't "will" yourself not to be hungry if your body is working against you.

Me:

People overcome "biological hunger" every single day by changing the context that creates it.

Evidence shows:

1. High-protein, high-fiber, low-UPF diets physiologically suppress hunger hormones and increase satiety

2. Consistent meal timing, circadian regularity, and adequate sleep improve leptin and insulin sensitivity, naturally lowering appetite

3. Exercise reduces baseline hunger and increases postprandial satiety, even when caloric burn is modest

People who aren't willing to make such changes, however, will always be fat.

GENTLE FITNESS ADVICE

It’s okay to feel like you don’t know what you’re doing because even the fittest people in the gym didn’t always know what they were doing. They learned as they went along, and they made many mistakes. You can too.

GENTLE FITNESS ADVICE:

Train at your own pace. Progress is progress. Sometimes it’s in stone’s throws, sometimes in country miles. I’m cheering for you just as you’d cheer for me because we all want to live in a fitter, healthier world.

You know you're getting good at this fitness stuff when you haven't just lost your taste for McDonald's, but it even starts to smell gross.
