weird bc so many people on here act like only fat people still eat carbs
I'm certainly not a picture of fitness, but I am on the left side of the normal BMI range and I eat tons of carbs.

Exercise. Exercise. Exercise.
The more exercise you do, the more flexibility you have in your diet. It's easy to pound a carb based diet if your burning 1000+ calories a day in exercise plus whatever you burn naturally.

Of course it’s not, there’s no such thing as personal accountability, the horror.

I love carbs.
I run about 20 miles a week, so I can continue to eat carbs.

I've written several articles about the obesity problem, and without fail, they either get met with a standing ovation or the hatred intensity of 10,000 suns.

Clearly this is a very emotional issue for the great majority of people. And any time an issue becomes an overly emotional one, then logic and facts and even common sense tends to go right out the window. Just ask some dude who actually thinks that deadlifts are a back exercise.
-
But to go on here, let's deal with the common sense part first.
-
People get overweight from eating too much. That's it. That's all. Even in rare medical conditions that people like to bring up, those too can be managed by managing energy balance. -
Genes are often brought up as well. But the fact is, obesity has become an epidemic only in the last few decades. If it was a genetic issue then we'd have seen obesity as a problem in direct correlation with certain genealogy. But there's no pattern. There's no "obesity gene". It's a good bet your ancestors were in fact, not obese.
-
In countries where food is more scarce, there is no obesity issue. Zero. 100% of the time, where there's less food there's no obesity. In this case, the cause and correlation is 100% factual.
-
And now, unfortunately, we're living in a time where it's considered fat shaming if you talk about the facts related to obesity, like how it's directly connected to various cancers, and type II diabetes.
-
Fat activism is a plague, and one that goes out of its way in order to suppress legitimate medical findings and information in order to further the "healthy at every size" movement. Which does far more damage because it is not helping people to actually confront reality. Which is this.....
-
YOU CANNOT BE HEALTHY AT EVERY SIZE. If you're obese, your health will crumble, and you'll die due to a obesity related disease. This isn't fat shaming. This is fact.
-
Don't be a continued part of the problem. Be a part of the solution

So 109 years ago doctors were educated in medical school about obesity. It's our lazy asses fault that we are fat. We no longer have to work manually like in the past, but we continue to eat like we do. EAT LESS, MOVE MORE.

Folks need a lot more exercising.
It's more caloric intake. The best diet I've done is not eating between 6 pm and 7 am most days. Drinking close to a gallon water a day too. I wake up feeling hella good.
Our bodies have to constantly repair our guts when we eat all day and night. Back off on the calories at night, go to bed a little hungry those stem cells can repair other parts of our body.

I know people here don't want to hear it, but genetics absolutely plays a role.
It plays a role as a predisposition. Yes, some people have to work harder than others, but it isn't a condition that's impossible to mitigate.

BS it's not their fault. I have to diet and moderate myself a few months a year or I'll be a fat slob. It's called discipline. Unfortunately that's an *ism now. I don't think there is one person on this planet that would be unable to get their weight in check if they would just learn a little discipline.
Just because you don't have the metabolism of some African marathon runner, doesn't mean you have no choice. It's just harder.

Peter Boghossian has a great YT series called "All Things Re-Considered" about the NPR insanity over the last several years

there is genetic obesity, but it is not the cause of the rapidly growing obese population
