> In my experience, while people know all these things, execution still requires knowing all the "gotchas". In my experience, people that think they know all the "gotchas" don't really know as much as they think they do. Knowing fat is calorie dense is great. Without context one would attempt to try to cut it out of your diet almost entirely. Sort of like what literally happened with the food industry in the 80's/90's and 00's. But then they would wonder why they are so hungry and likely consuming more sugars. Which is even worse for most folks due to glycemic index and how that interacts with hunger. A little bit of knowledge can be actively harmful. Common sense on this topic actually does far better than most who think they know better. Almost everyone knows what "healthy food" looks like without needing to know anything about much else. Education is not the issue. | ||

> Almost everyone knows what "healthy food" looks like without needing to know anything about much else. I highly doubt this. A lot of people think stuff like juice smoothies, granolas or dates are healthy. Or more generally organic or grassfed or "no added sugar" or "high-protein" high-sugar or "unprocessed" stuff. People are actively misinformed about what's healthy by a constant bombardment of ads, fads and "common sense". | ||

If you are taking shots at me, just know i wrote this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/tirzepatidecompound/comments/1omfgx... which is often shared on fitness subreddits, nowhere it asks people to completely stop eating fats. furthermore i run dieting app with thousands of users so i am not the one who is going to promote zero sugar or fat diet. My app: https://macrocodex.app/ it's an ad free, subscription free app, i don't make money from this. | ||
