There is a much more simple way to lose weight - the cold water method
Remember that a calorie is the energy used to heat one ml of water by one degree celcius. No the calories mentioned with weight loss are actually kilocalories, so 1 Kcal is the energy needed to heat 1 litre of water one degree celcius.
So far, so good. So to lose a Kg in weight, you need to burn about 7000 calories; so you could raise 1 litre of water to a very hot temperature, or 7000 litres of water just 1 degree.
Just as dieting is balanced, I would reccommend taking a balanced approach here. You could raise about 200 litres of water 35 degrees and that gets you over the "magic" 7000 figure here.
How? Easy. Just take one large bath tub. Fill with water. Add ice and straw. Drink.
Voila! An easy Kg of weight loss, no exercise required.
Your bodies natural regulatory mechanisms will maintain your temperature at 37 degrees, and the ice will keep the water at 0 degrees, easily maintaining a >35 degree differential.
And it doesn't get any more natural than water; no nasty chemicals involved.
Remember who told it to you first

In other words, you intended to say nothing, since that is what that sentence means.
"...and you should know earning it obtained reading..."
That does not mean anything in English. Obtain means to acquire, not require.
Also, trying to use a double-negative is probably not what the other poster was talking about. Good job on sounding like a pretentious asshole, though.

By the way, I love delicious irony in the post where he claimed to have used an expression from the 1600s to avoid sounding pompous. Isn't that about like owning a castle to avoid appearing extravagant?

Around 90% of French have been infected by Toxoplasma gondii, a nasty little parasite that infects the brain and is suspected to cause changes to the host's personality.
This explains a lot.
