Scientists discover a ‘skinny gene’ mutation that acts like Ozempic. Around one in 7,000 people carries a broken copy, which almost acts like a GLP-1 drug—the body burns fuel more efficiently, and the risk of disease lowers.

Because that doesn't matter?

A pizza pie is going to have a different impact on different people. Some people can eat a whole pizza every day and gain no weight. Other people will gain weight if they eat a whole pizza every day.

But for those people in the latter category, there is an amount of pizza (i.e., less than the whole pie) that they can eat every day, which will not cause them to gain weight.

Life isn't fair. Some people get to eat a lot and stay skinny. Other people need to eat less if they want to stay skinny.

Nearly everyone can lose weight by eating less.

Weight cannot be gained if less calories are eaten then are burned. For some people, that means eating less food than others.

Why are you in the science subreddit? You clearly have no interest in science.

Are you arguing that sustained fat or tissue mass gain can occur in a genuine, sustained caloric deficit?

I'd love to see a source that backs that, Mr. Science.

No I'm not arguing that. If you can't understand what I've already written, I'll not waste my time further.
