Shitlord science deluxe - fatties lie Hello, I found a great one a couple of days ago. In 1992, researchers made an experiment with 10 subjects that claimed even though they were eating less than 1200 kcal per day, they couldn't lose weight and compared them to people who did lose weight. The result? [they] underreported their actual food intake by an average (±SD) of 47±16 percent and overreported their physical activity by 51±75 percent and  they perceived a genetic cause for their obesity, used thyroid medication at a high frequency, and described their eating behavior as relatively normal So basically, maybe liars, but definitely world's best self-deceptors and excuse-finders. Not that we didn't know already, but here it is confirmed by science! Link: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199212313272701
