But what if I mess up on January 2nd? Then I get permission to not try at all until 2026. That's way easier. I can just overeat for a whole year and try again next January 1st.

Honestly, every time I have successfully dieted for any meaningful length of time, it just started on a random day.

Eating a bacon cheese burger while I ponder these serious questions ..... slurping on a chocolate milkshake while I think harder.

People need a reminder that you can have fun resolutions too.

For example, this year when I pass by an ingredient I've never tried before, I'm going to buy it, look up a recipe that uses it and try it. With the goal being that I can expand the staple foodstuffs I keep falling back on week after week.

All successful habits start the day you decide to do them. If you plan to start them in the future, they're way less likely to succeed.

(The above based on nothing but my own gut feelings and experience.)

Like 52% of the developed first world can be considered morbidly obese.

I highly doubt it's a willpower or self-control problem, that's just blaming the victim.

The real issue is there's fucking sugar in everything.

Read the nutrition facts labels one day and try to keep yourself under 100g of net carbohydrates as a mental experiment while grocery shopping (net meaning carbs - fiber = net).

You'll quickly notice that the vast majority of things have added sugar via HFCS, even innocuous things like bread or even ketchup.

It's tough out there.

That whole "eat garbage all the time and then starve yourself with a diet just so you can eat garbage again" approach never worked.

Your default meal should always be healthy and well balanced. And then once in a while you can treat yourself to a garbage meal.

"Health" businesses / media: But how can we continually monetise people if they don't yo-yo diet?

My favorite advice to avoid this: stick to the outside aisles - the grains (though problematic), fruits/veggies, meats, and dairies. Only delve into the aisles for what you know you need/want. Not foolproof, but less temptation than walking every aisle, esp. when hungry

My gf did this. Realised that we are allowed to have fun resolutions that make us smile, not just... "Better" ourselves enjoy!

There’s also the elephant in the room of all the micro/nanoplastics polluting our food. We’re only now scratching the surface on what this means for our health but the preliminary findings are not at all positive

Eating good good is one of life's greatest joys. U can do that and be healthy symultaniously. Cook ur own food. Dont buy heighly proccessed shit. Try and avoid sugar. And ull be fine.

Also im pretty sure that most fat people are fat from drinking shitty sugar filled crap instead of water. Also the zero sugar artificially sweetened shit fucks with ur insulin making u fatter. Just drink water.

They arnt injecting sugar into meat fruit and vegetables yet and u can less proccessed carbs (less proccessed = longer chain carbs = slower to digest = better for u) that's what 99% of ur diet should be anyways.

Also i blame soft drinks and sufar filled drinks as just as big of an issue. Drink fucking water its good for u, and if u think its boring have it with icecubes or a slice of lemon.

Just like alternating 12 hours sleep with 4 hours sleep each night is not healthy.

Artificial sweeteners and insulin sensitivity is a reverse correlation, better methodologies have found they do not cause reduced insulin sensitivity or obesity: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33535094/

People who are overweight or diabetic tend to increase consumption of artificial sweeteners as a result of their condition, not the other way around.

Bah.

You don’t eat healthy when eating out. Eat well and right on your own at home or packing food for work. Eating out is a treat, not a diet to live on.

as she read the meme she remembered the cold pizza from yesterday is in the fridge and that everything is right in the world

If you start your diet today that food will go to waste. You can't waste food! We have to eat it while we think about Chinese children. Like what do they do when they wake up? If they get mud on their shoes what do they use to clean out the tread? I use a small screw driver. Do their parents make them buckle up or else no tablet? Do they like pizza?

People that start diets don't care

There's a multitude of (often chronic) health conditions that create sticky weight gain, or weight that simply does not go away through diet and exercise. Add in the challenge for women and minorities of healthcare discrimination and you've got a recipe for overweight people who simply aren't able to lose the weight no matter what they try, and doctors blaming the weight before testing for endocrine disorders (oh and of course financial challenges in accessing healthcare in the first place)
