It's cool that it all seems simple to you, but if it were indeed so simple the entire population would be walking around fit and strong, which clearly is far from what is really going on!
Why do you think so? I think we can all agree that obesity has a very simple solution... eat less... or in Dan John's words: "Eat like an adult". So why are there so-so-so many obese people?
As @Matts said:
let's not confuse "simple" with "easy"....
I'll give an example:
My 130+kg cousin went to the orthopedic doctor with knee pain (both knees). The good doctor had a very simple solution. He told my cousin to lose weight. My cousin got mad, told him it's not a "real" solution and demanded prescription for insoles to alleviate the pain. After pleading and screaming he got his prescription and the problem was solved... for now...
Many people don't like to pay their dues, work hard, diligently and patiently. They want instant gratification and have no appreciation for quality.
Trainees are people...
That actually may be worth a dedicated thread (not obesity, the why people don't do simple stuff that work)...
