Yes, especially if you don't have a senior colleague where you work and there are no other developers who could review your code like in my case (sole Frontend-Dev amongst Java-EE-Devs).

If anyone is looking for a starting-point: I stumbled upon a great book: http://haskellbook.com/ It's still early-access, but the biggest part is done and it's already at 1000+ pages.
(I'm not affiliated with this project in any way)
- Does the book claim that you can't get fat when you don't eat carbs?
- Is there a main reason for calories-in-calories-out being "damaging" as it says on the back?
If your overweight is life-threatening you'll want to lose body-fat asap, which you will not achieve if you first try to understand every detail of digestion and nutrition. See it as kind of first-aid.
I know that losing weight is very hard and that the behavioral change is the key, not the unknown details of nutrition. I just wish people (especially my doctors and family) pushed me much earlier to the right behavior.

thanks for your comment! Unfortunately I can't edit the original post.
The thinking poorly/lack of motivation part was over two weeks after starting, thankfully.
Restricting your diet is no fun at all, that's why you need to know what your motivation is. (mine is Dad's/Granddad's Diabetes)
No, it's moderated by our fork. It also means being hungry a lot and keeping exact track of your calories, just like poor people need to track their expenses.
(Been there done that with both money and weight)
The »subtleties of nutrition« don't matter if you are huge (BMI > 30) and want to get down to a healthy level. Once you are there you still can optimize and find out what works best for you.
Of course not but if we stick to the maximum we still can use this value to calculate our intake when we try to lose weight. If the body extracts fewer calories, even better for the weight loss. I'm not talking about people who need to optimize a few % body-fat; I'm talking about BMI > 30.
> Statements like this are an effort to help fat people to lose weight by creating treatments that work rather than just yelling judgemental but useless advice at them
Why is "eat less" judgmental? If somebody wants to stop smoking, would you consider "stop smoking" judgmental?
No but seriously, this is a terrible article.
As soon as you read »…a professor of _kinesiology_ and health science…« you know the statements are coming from people who believe in esoteric pseudoscience.
If your burn more energy than you take in, you lose weight.
Everything else doesn't make sense.
You can get fat by eating 5000 calories worth of paprika every day.
Statements like these only help people who have weight-problems to have an excuse not to do anything about it.
