[quote=Anonymous]You know I struggle with this. I started gaining weight as a teenager after puberty and slowly gained and gained. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 22 and still no one really told me anything except 'go low carb.' Also 'being fat is bad' and 'take this medication that will make you feel like garbage' and 'just exercise.'

PCOS is a condition that effects insulin and I started IF and started losing for the first time in my life. I have been doing it for 18 months, I'm down 45 pounds, still losing, and I'm now 20 pounds from being a 'normal' weight.

I don't want to give teenagers complexes by putting them on diets, but figuring out how to stop obesity before it happens is way effing easier than losing 15 years of your life to figuring out how to fight it. And this isn't even about how anyone looks, I feel better, younger, more capable, etc. My only concern with the HAES type movements is that they don't seem to care about this preventing the loss of control of your weight. And this is important, if there is a way to help kids not get so far down the path, then we should be doing it.

But I fully agree with the above PP that things like hummus and avocado being labeled bad is bad. And that this is really hard because all weight gain is different so weight loss solutions are very different in different people. [/quote]
