TLDR: The body has a setpoint for weight which is tuned to environmental conditions and will attempt to reach it by modulating hunger.
It takes 8-12 months for these hormones to reset, so any diet is ineffective unless permanently maintained.
High setpoint? Prepare to be ravenously hungry all the time if you eat below your hormonal baseline.
The most beautiful thing for a narcissist is their reflection in a mirror
The second most beautiful? Their progeny.
Because, you know. They look like them.. but younger.

Ringmail?
It's about 22-24% efficient which is the same as a carbon engine.
Chemistry and physics, yo, stochiometric ratios. No free lunch.
The difference is the mass component of F = M•A
I'm sorry friend; I still feel that childhood demiurge of "the game".
I got teary eyed this morning playing a particularly satisfying VR title.
I guess my advice is: Try virtual reality gaming.

My favorite take on this is playing a hegemonic technologically advanced, wartime empire in Stellaris.
Any time a new species contacts mine, if they open the door with: "Why you no build boats" or "prepare to be enslaved!" or "Die Xeno Scum!"; we crack their planet and pyromatically defenestrate their king(s)/leaders/hivemind.
It had made my fictional galaxy-space grand strategy a dark forest, where the AI learned to be afraid of reaching out, owing to the many (only stories, through selection bias), where contacting my species resulted in annihilation.
We're not evil, it was always just like:
Us: "We come in peace, would you like to trade coffee for advanced energy storage devices? , and the other civs/Ai would look at "relative military strength" and respond with [-90] "Bullshit, Prepare for War!" and then turn around and beg for ceasefire/white peace the second the Shipyard-Titans enter into their home system at the edge of the screen.
Parasitic-Wasp-Slavers: "Clearly we have made a mistake, it said your military was 26,000 points, but we didn't comprehend peacetime versus wartime military scaling"
Us: "You said, I quote, your children will be sold as snacks on street corner food vendors and your adult population will toil in our mines."
Parasitic-Wasp-Slavers: "Oh, did we say that? Clearly uh, shit, well, come on you know how it is different cultures, right? You can't judge us from on high just because we {insert enormous amount of moral relativism here}"
