I don’t believe that is true, and to think that out of 6 billion people on the planet that is the case is a little arrogant.
The laws of thermodynamics are not as cut and dry in humans, because there is more going on than heat and energy being used or not, but each to their own. While I might not have DNA that says there is something wrong with me losing fat, you missed the point of the entirety of the testing, but thanks for the reference to weight watchers and jenny craig who I know are not useful sources.
I’ll leave this conversation here, don’t need any additional antagonistic answers because I have opinions based on personal research.

I had an emergency appendectomy about 3 years ago. Sucked, but at least they got it laparoscopically so the incisions were small.
I’d imagine your inflammation height was due to the onsetting appendicitis; like you said look back over the months if that’s possible.
I have no idea how one measures inflammation levels or how it works.
And unaware of whatever struggle is being discussed above re: calorie levels etc.
Thanks. I agree on the inflammation, will be putting my previous bloodwork to the test. Mine also luckily were laparoscopically, but I have quite large incisions, the biggest I would hazzard a guess at just under 1", so he must have had to dig around the fat a bit to get in, or use the ‘xtra large’ lol
This is probably the reason why the majority of people say “I’m in a deficit but cannot lose weight.”.
The thing with BMR and calorie calculators is that they are very accurate when you put in the correct for a person with ‘healthy metabolic functions’. The thing these calculators don’t factor in is the history of stupid diet decisions (not saying you have made those!) a person has made.
A lot of people who overly restrict/ crash diet and don’t strength train/ build a decent amount of muscle do find themselves in their 30-40s in a place where their body has adapted by slowing down basic functions to the point that your BMR and what it SHOULD be are 2 different things
It was tough mentally. I have severe anxiety when it comes to being in front of large groups with all eyes on me. Weird thing was i wasn’t really nervous at all. Not sure if that just comes with age??
It was def good for my mindset. So glad i did it.
Any of you guys into bear crawls?
I did a lot of it yesterday for the first time, and amazingly, i am super sore in the yoke area. I didn’t expect that - would have expected pec and ab soreness instead. But this is pretty intense soreness up both sides of my neck.
This is one of the very few exercises that I will just flat out refuse to do.
I don’t care the benefits. I don’t care if it’s part of a program or some group PT sesh. These things always hurt my left shoulder after my rotator cuff injury, and I have done idk how many miles of these SOBs back in my wrestling days. I hate them with an irrational passion. This is the hill I die on.
