    Flexible dieting lol

    Does this mean that your unpopular opinion is thinking flexible dieting is amusing?

    Or that you think flexible dieting is good and that will be an unpopular opinion, and that's amusing?

    And when you die, plants will eat you.

    I think diets are a joke and have been hijacked into a business. Don't diet, it always ends. Change your life and habits. Its harder at first but easier the rest of your life.

    If I don't stop dieting won't I eventually starve to death?

    Cardio is a waste of time (unless you actually enjoy it).

    Or enjoy the stronger heart and more plentiful food.

    I'll stick with my strong heart and plentiful food from weightlifting and HIIT. More bang for the buck.

    Not in my experience. Can't sustain HIIT long enough to burn any meaningful amount of calories, and whatever I burn I eat back twofold or more because it increases my hunger substantially. Now don't get me wrong, no one has to do cardio (or weight lifting, or HIIT for that matter), but you can't call any form of exercise a waste of time because there are clear benefits to being active, health and otherwise.

    Yes, sitting on your butt is a much greater waste of time.
    Since I don't like exercising in general, I'm going to spend the least amount of time possible to get the greatest benefit which means high intensity. I just want to get it over with so I can get back to thing I enjoy.

    And that's totally alright! It's just, this sounds more like preference than opinion.
