One thing about dietary studies : anything that relies on self-report is fabrication.

The researchers who do self-report dietary studies know it's fabrication. But they still get paied, so they keep doing these ''studies''.

People just write whatever they might remember ( half of their intake typically ) with no acuracy in quantity, and make stuff up.

If you take a bunch of fat people who claim they can't lose weight no matter how little they eat, tell them all they are eating is now being monitored, ask them to self-report acurately their intake, and a third party mesures objectively, they only report, on average, half of what they eat.

That's people who were told they would be strictly monitored and asked to be as acurate as possible.

Imagine random people who don't think anyone is going to verrify.

P.S. : In those studies, ''diet resistant fat people'' are exactly as fat as expected from their objectively-mesured food intake. They are just delusional / lying.
