It's almost like the human body is a biological nuance that's different for everyone. We all learned about "a varied diet", "an active lifestyle", and "weightloss is calories in vs calories out".

The nuance is always that these things mean widely different things from person to person.

Absolutely. What we need is a broad statement that is always true for everyone and helps everyone conceptually understand the fundamentals of weight loss. Something like... "eat less do more." Yeah! That's it! Surely such an inarguable, well meaning statement wouldn't lead to an absolute shit show that makes a mockery of the human miracle of language and communication.
