Site is a link aggregation of a series of blog posts that cite various studies about the mystery of why the obesity rate is increasing, and why the rate of increase is itself accelerating. Authors make a compelling argument that normal homeostatic processes (the theorized lipostat specifically) tend to keep people within a certain BMI range. Authors argue that environmental contamination is breaking the lipostat, driving obesity rates upwards, and faster where there's more contamination.
Interesting read and a great reason to switch to :vegan-v: with a focus on not buying anything wrapped in plastic.
I mean yeah. CICO is true technically but not all calories are the same. If all calories were the same, athletes could just eat MacDonalds all day to hit a calorie target with no ill consequences. Obviously they can't do that and have strict macronutrient requirements in their diets. And if you can't digest a calorie, you can't use it.
