Physical or psychological adaptation

I'm wondering how folks draw the line between being into fitness and not. What actually shows up in their day-to-day actions? My guess is the first group puts more effort into tracking intake, holding to strict eating rules, and hitting the gym often. It ends up filling their free time and focus the way any favorite hobby does. The second group tends to have other things they care about and puts less into balancing what comes in and goes out. Does that track, or am I overlooking something?

Yeah that sounds reasonable to me too. Data shows many end up regaining pounds once they quit. Still makes me wonder about how many kept up with workouts and tracked their eating.

I've always seen just a tiny fraction succeed when they focus hard on fitness and shedding pounds through sheer effort. Dummy pill results from trials on these new shots point to roughly that same low share. For nearly everyone else it's a real medical issue needing ongoing meds otherwise things slip backward despite all the trying. These treatments showed how calorie tracking plus the whole prior diet scene rested on rare wins and never worked for most. Now the options exist so I'm going with them.
