    You do not lose weight by exercising. You lose weight through diet control.

    you lose weight by CICO. You either restrict calories in, or increase calories out, it does not matter.

    73% of all of the food sold in the US is considered ultra processed, so no it’s not just Twinkies, but at this point unless you’re only buying neat and vegetables, you’re buying something that is lower in nutrients and bound to make you feel more hungry than you would if you ate something nearly identical that you made yourself.

    agreed. But it’s not too difficult - buy some zuchinni, potatoes, tomatoes, onion, garlic, eggplant - dice it up, put in a pan, salt, pepper, nutmeg, together with whole, skin on chicken, roast for 45 min and you have a delicious nutricious meal. It’s literally 15 minutes of prep and it feeds a whole family at once. Everyone can do it. There’s no need to buy any processed food.

      See my first comment, applying physics to the human body and ignoring the hormonal and psychological impacts is going to lead to failure. It is much more like treating addiction than anything else.
