I came to this exact conclusion a long time ago, except using intermittent fasting (i.e. “stop eating so much”):
1. Use a fad diet (e.g. potato) to get down to 80 kg.
2. Weigh yourself every morning
3. If your average weight over a week ever exceeds 81 kg, spend the next week on the potato diet.
4. Repeat forever.
That said, nothing will prepare you for the reality. It’s like learning to swim in a lap pool, then getting dropped into the ocean in the middle of a storm.
Just learn as much as you can, talk to as many people as you can, and prepare yourself for the fact that you will not be prepared.
All good! Other than that, there’s nothing like a child saying “I love you too.” So, it’s all worth it once you get to it.
I wouldn't feel bad...those (phoneme, plosive, fricative, spirant, and affricate) are specialized vocabulary words from a specific domain (linguistics). I only know them because I have an interest in the topic. Other than phoneme, they describe how words are pronounced and/or formed in the mouth.
You state facts, here are some additional ones from the article:
* “people who simply dieted experienced greater weight loss than those who combined diet and exercise.”
* “You would have to walk for more than 45 minutes to burn off the 300 calories from eating just three cookies.”
* “researchers concluded, “active, ‘traditional’ lifestyles may not protect against obesity if diets change to promote increased caloric consumption.”
* “It’s calorie intake that is really fueling the obesity epidemic.”
Personally, the most weight I’ve ever lost was over a six month period of zero exercise, but with a restricted diet. (Consequences of a work assignment out of town.)
My most physically active periods (3-4 hours daily in the ocean) have been accompanied by no weight loss, sometimes even weight gain.
