Very true, and the reason why most of out country is overweight or obese. That is depressing too |

There is very little evidence that overeating causes obesity. People are definitely bigger and obesity more common now than in the past, but the science indicates that it has more to do with the quality of our food and access to healthcare, especially preventative healthcare. There's also compelling evidence that obesity is linked to stress and childhood trauma. Google "ACES score and obesity." It is a myth that obesity is the result of individual choice, and it's a myth that it's preventable with individual discipline. |
You are confused. What I said was, people who have a weight problem, should not seek advice from people who have never had a weight problem. |
The evidence does not support your conclusions. |

| I’m not skinny. I’m thin but very muscular. I eat pretty much whatever I want. The thing about that is “eat whatever I want” means different things for different people. I make a lot of healthy choices and also eat treats. I eat an amount that satisfies me which may be less than some others or more than others. Most of it comes down to genetics and the fact I’m active and work out 5 days a week and make overall good choices in my diet but I don’t calorie count or deprive myself. Yesterday I had half a cake donut with coffee, string cheese and some almonds, two ham roll ups for lunch, some club crackers dipped in PB, a glass of Pinot Grigio and for dinner, two slices of pepperoni and jalapeño pizza and some cheesy garlic bread. Obviously not a very healthy day but balanced out by better choices throughout the week . |

45 yo, 5'6, 120 now, usually 115. 30 min cardio 6x/day.
Black coffee until 5pm. Reasonable dinner of quinoa, edamame, rice, mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, raw spinach, cucumber, cashews followed by huge dessert of Greek yogurt with honey, a banana, 2 oranges, an apple, 2 rice cakes, a handful of prunes. I have always been a binger by nature. In my 20s I ate pints of Ben & Jerry's and entire packages of Oreos. In my 30s I realized that I had to cut out white flour and artificial sugar for long periods if I was to have any hope of staying in my goal range, 115-125 lbs. Have not eaten meat or alcohol in a decade. Staying this size will never be easy or natural for me. |

\ You must be really unhealthy. Or a troll. Or both. |
I would say this counts. |
Actually they do. I think it’s interesting to see that the way many of these thin people normally eat, is what many of us who are overweight would consider dieting. It just shows how what most of us think as normal eating, is really an overconsumption of calories. |
