When it comes to weight loss the talk is uncomplicated and that is: less calories in than out. But that doesn't mean this talk is easy.
Many citizen seem to get "simple" and "easy" confused. Just because something is uncomplicated that doesn't necessarily make it easy. And weight loss is a perfect example of something that is uncomplicated but not easy.
I think citizen select to make many things along with cutting weight more complex than it categorically is. On the outside this doesn't make any sense, why in the world would whatever want to make something more difficult that it is?
I think the talk is as follows:
If something is uncomplicated (like eating less) and you can't do it, then you might feel embarrassed, or ashamed of yourself for not being able to get to your bodyweight goal. It's a serious shot to your reliance and your ego if you cannot do something that seems so simple.
It's hard to admit to yourself that something so uncomplicated can be so difficult (simple things aren't always easy things). Therefore to not feel like a total failure citizen latch on to a reliance that dropping weight must be very complex to explicate why it is difficult.
I'll be the first to admit that weight loss isn't "easy" but it's totally simple. Eating less is the goal, but looking a way to eat less is the hard part, and in many cases discouraging.
Here are a few more examples of things that are uncomplicated but not Easy:
Running 15 kilometers - approximately whatever with two functioning legs can run at least some short length (without becoming fatigued), but running for 15 kilometers non-stop isn't easy.
Doing 100 push-ups - for most citizen the push up petition is pretty easy to do, but doing 100 of them is exhausting. The idea of a push up is simple, but doing 100 of them isn't necessarily easy.
Holding your arm level out in front of you for 5 minutes without putting it back down is simple, but not easy. I hope you can now see the divergence in the middle of uncomplicated and easy and how you might confuse one with the other.
To protect your feelings you might try to make something that is uncomplicated and (but not easy) into something that both complex And not easy.
Fitness and nourishment marketers know that citizen get discouraged when they attempt to lose weight and find out how hard it is. They also know that you don't want to believe that something so uncomplicated is so hard so they sell you complex and high-priced solutions that seem to explicate why it is so hard.
It's much easier for you to believe that something so hard is also very complex (kind of like doing a complex calculus problem or trying to learn how to read and write in a new language)
This is how the fitness manufactures comes up with a never ending stream of complex weight loss solutions for you to waste your money on year in and year out.
Just think of all the complex 'solutions' that marketers have tried to sell in the past 10 years like: low carb, blood type diets, paleo diets, raw foods, high protein, carb cycling, extra meal timing etc.
Each of these diets will show you success stories of citizen who have used their program and I'm sure they're all true. So if each one of these diets can yield similar results for all kinds of dissimilar citizen then there must be something they all have in common, and that is Less Calories.
As long as you select not to accept the uncomplicated talk of calories in vs calories out, you will always be susceptible to fitness marketing claims that promise a more complex and much more high-priced solution.
