i think all of this stuff matters not because of what it means for, like, how to maintain or lose weight, but because of how it influences the diet industry. The self talk that folks will use when they are restricting calories is really cruel and can be really, really unforgiving. And i also think we deploy it in pretty bad faith ways with ourselves too. I would also say, like, listen, we talked about, like, calories inn, calories out, gets deployed in this, ike, totally fuckingbad faith way, righty?
