Just married recently. 30-year old trad wife.

Knows she’s needs to lose weight and get back in shape. She’s 5’7” and delightfully curvy (the good kind). Usually she’s around 130 with her DD’s and booty which is great.

Lately she’s gotten kind of down with things and she put on about 15lbs which she wants to lose.

She really wants to lose it but I think she gets too down on herself and too embarrassed to even go to the gym. So she distracts herself, doesn’t plan the gym in, and then get more down on herself and the cycle repeats.

I too need to lose a few lbs but for me it’s easy to just get in the gym and start hammering it out especially because I work for myself and set my own schedule.

I’m brand new to this married thing so I don’t know how to help guide her and lead her as her husband without making her feel bad and end up causing more harm than good.

Do any of you married men have any advice for me?

Because it has caloric content, but your body can't access it.

So there's no point is bringing this to make a point.

CICO assumes humans can digest, absorb, and utilize all foods equally efficiently

all edible foods equally efficiently.

That is false.

That isn't, unless you take specific allergies and intolerance into account.

On average, if a person eats more calories than their body daily need and don't exercise, they will get fat.

You can deny it all you want.

Again, that is patently false. I'm talking about edible food. You can easily get fat eating 2,000 calories a day of high-carbohydrate foods and vegetable oils. You cannot and will not get fat eating 2,000 calories of foods with no carbs and high in saturated fats. End of story. The metabolic pathways are different. Your body cannot store fat as fat the way it can store carbohydrates as fat.

lol Sorry I thought you were talking about wood.

lol Who eats only oil? Your arguments is ridiculous.

will not get fat eating 2,000 calories of foods with no carbs and high in saturated fats.

You obviously will get fat if your daily body needs is below 2000 calories. It's not rocket science, it's called the laws of thermodynamics.

Americans eat a shit ton of oil. Adding 1 tbsp of grapeseed oil adds 135 calories to the dish.

You obviously will get fat if your daily body needs is below 2000 calories. It's not rocket science, it's called the laws of thermodynamics.

You will get fat if your body absorbs 2,000 calories and keeps it while your needs are below 2,000 calories. Your body can't keep fat as well as it can sugar. What you're saying is like telling me filling sieve with 10 cups of water will fill it to the same level as 10 cups of rice.
