Soda is in the same boat, I love drinking Coke, but I limit myself to maybe 1-2 cans on the weekend and stick to water in the week. Just takes some willpower, if soda is bad, which it is, then limit or don't drink it.
Not trying to be mr smartman, genuinely interested in your response.
You are one of the lucky ones.
The main reason for obesity is over consumption of modern convenience foods and inactivity. Most unprocessed foods are not as calorie dense as the garbage that you find in fast food restaurants and the center isles of your grocer. People today are also far less active than we were 100 years ago, of course back then we didn't have devices like televisions and personal computers that encourage inactivity. At least with books and other printed materials, you are forced to get up and move around for a little to keep yourself alert. Blue LED light coming off of our modern devices, ensures that we can sit for long periods and say awake.
There is still no excuse for being a fat ass. I am one of them. Eating half a large pizza in one sitting is not the best health choice for a 40+ year old man. For the vast majority of us it all comes down to the choices that we make.
I am actually in the beginning phase of a juice cleanse (I am currently down 5 lbs over two days) and I expect to drop 40 to 50 lbs over the next 45 days. I started off at 280 and my goal is to weigh 200 to 210 by October.
Hmm no, I'll stick with the science and logic behind eating breakfast in the morning thanks. If people eat right before bed then that is a problem with their diet, not everyone is like that, especially someone that has a healthy diet. If you don't want to eat breakfast then be my guest, but it is definitely not bad for you.
I don't know how old you are or how long you have been gaining weight. But people don't realize that even if you only overeat 20 kcal a day, you would gain more than 10 kg over a decade. Make that 100 kcal overeaten a day, and you end up gaining over 50 kg after a decade.
But this still seems a bit odd.
What university did you do your research? I mean if we're going to dispute medical/scientific research and the advice given by professionals you need to back that up with more than bad spelling, or have you just thought this over in your chair and come up with your own reasoning, based on feelings?
Why would you do a juice cleanse, there's nothing good about replacing a balanced diet with sugar water. It might help you drop weight from the huge drop in calorie intake but it comes with some significant possible health issues, you're not cleansing shit by doing that. Please research this, dropping 50lbs of weight by doing "juice cleansing" is really not a healthy way of going about weight loss.

Probably running on a Pentium 4
That would entirely depend on their body's genetics, any medication or disorders that might cause weight gain or make it difficult to lose weight, as well as their activity levels vs yours. It isn't as simple as "eat less". You would know that if that program aimed at healthcare was any good. Eat less only goes so far, and maybe not at all. Heck, only losing weight by eating less could also be unhealthy and damaging.
The genes which run in my family are also pretty bad when it comes to putting on weight. Most of my relatives are overweight both on my mother's and my father's side. I also did eat crap but I did not eat anything more or different that what my peers ate. But I seemed to gain weight a lot faster than them. Not to mention all those who clearly ate a lot more crap than me at the time and did not gain a single extra kilo (it was easy to observe my friends in college).
I am 1.89m and I was at a point where my scale could not weigh me cause it only went to 120 kg. That was the tipping point when I cut off all (and I mean all) trashy carbs and sugars. I left only veggies and fruit. Later I discovered I didn't really need fruits cause I still tended to eat too much fruits (fructose), and so I was left with just avocados and olives. I lost over 30 kgs. Then I discovered running and I also heard about high fat, low carb, which was what I was actually mostly doing without even knowing it was a thing. The initial weight loss occurred 8 years ago. Since they I've logged more that 15,000 kms running, and I've also stayed away from all the crappy shit.
I just eat at or close to lunch and I am great, desk jobs do not require much energy throughout the day so I eat very little, I am 238lbs / 6 feet tall and built like a brick wall. I was 275 at the beginning of March. I also tore my Achilles tendon on top of a massive gallbladder attack, recovery has been rough but I am getting healthy again and fasting is what did it.
Fair play to you man, respect. There's a lot of people that have a slower metabolism or harder time losing weight and stick to that excuse to be fat for life and do nothing about it. Good job.

Depending on what time you get up of course. An hour or so later sure, but to leave it hours and hours before eating? No thanks.
Source? Link? Peer Review? You just copy and pasted something in here...
Here, i'll bite. Here is a decently sourced study on RMR. Some demographic groups saw discrepancies of 20-30% RMR.

Fun fact: you clearly don't know everything about metabolic rate. No one does. Stop using your anecdotal evidence to apply to the other 7 billion of us.
