its complicated. but the formula will never let you down.It has, though, when used alone. Simply telling people to track calories and eat less to achieve a calorie deficit, without any other real education has proven to be very ineffective at achieving long-term improvement in body composition. Simply pointing at those people and saying, "No willpower!" isn't particularly useful.
you're making a huge leap here...convincing someone else to lose weight vs. managing your own weight. I am assuming that a decent triathlete can be honest with him/herself. Tho the amount of dad bods I see at races is insane.
The formula never lets a reasonable, resilient, and thoughtful person down.
As you begin to track calories, you begin to read labels...as you read labels, you get curious about ingredients, and over the years, you figure out your system.
yes its work. shocking.
