As quoted from Wikipedia, emphases added by me:

The laws of thermodynamics, in principle, describe the specifics for the transport of heat and work in thermodynamic processes. Since their inception, however, these laws have become some of the most important in all of physicsand other types of science associated with thermodynamics.

So, A, thermodynamics is the study of heat. And B, the laws of thermodynamics have also become the laws of physics over time, the first law of which is that:
Quote:

the total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant. A consequence of this law is that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. The only thing that can happen with energy in an isolated system is that it can change form, for instance kinetic energy can become thermal energy.

What you were thinking of is:
Quote:

Aerodynamics is a branch of dynamics concerned with studying the motion of air, particularly when it interacts with a moving object.

Easy to confuse, right?
So the moral of this story is that we need to be kind to our fellow posters. Laughing at their responses or responding smugly often ends up with you being proven wrong, and that means you owe somebody an apology. Sahmail, you owe WildChild (who is a respected member and moderator of this board who was only trying to share her ideas on this subject) an apology. And I think we owe Stoutman further discussion on the issue, not just shooting down his words as "just an opinion, see a doctor," which is quite rude.
We don't allow rudeness on this board.
So, in that interest:
Stoutman, you say nobody needs help to loose weight. I feel like that statement needs more elaboration. What about those who
do have thyroid problems? Does that sentence become "Nobody needs help unless ..." or "Nobody needs help to lose the amount of weight their body will allow them?" I think this is quite interesting as I have known a few people with hypothyroidism who, with the dedicated use of good diet and exercise, were able to overcome their symptoms and actually be criticized for being too skinny! I also know a woman who takes phentermine who is already a healthy weight ... she just doesn't have the time or extra effort in her busy life to start a bonafide exercise program.
I believe it takes all kinds of efforts, just like it takes all kinds of people. While I don't believe that gimmicky diet pills are good for anybody or will do anyone much good in the long-term, what Sahmail has described sounds rather healthy as well as helpful. I imagine she'll see herself over the years what the effect of her particular path will be.
Moral of the story: we can all express our feelings and opinions (even if they are professional opinions) without shooting one another down or being rude.
