[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it so interesting to read these different threads about weight. There is that one on why fat people aren't more ashamed of themselves, because all you have to do to lose weight is not be a lazy slob, so by definition being fat means you are lazy and eat horribly. And there are the hundreds (thousands) of posts about how all fat people have to do to lose weight is just use a little moderation. And then when people post saying that no, they aren't lazy horrible eaters, and moderation hasn't worked, and they'd like advice on SOMETHING that might work, since moderation didn't...they get slammed. This OP is so entirely clearly not lazy or lacking in discipline, yet I assume she has some weight to lose. And there are people on here telling her to just eat in moderation. Did any of you also post on the fat shaming thread, too, about how fat people need to get a little discipline? Look, it simply isn't easy. There are no easy answers. For some of us, once we have gained a good deal of weight and probably messed with our metabolisms, moderation won't help us lose the weight. It may be the long term solution after the weight is lost and that loss maintained for a year or two, but it isn't the solution for loss for many of us. So if you haven't done the research on intermittent fasting, or read the research on low-carb diets...please, give us fatties the benefit of the doubt that we are smart, thoughtful, disciplined people doing our best to be healthy. Cause for the most part, its true.[/quote]

Absolutely agree with this post.  People who have never been fat assume that their moderate diet and exercise is the reason.  While those are both very healthy modes of living, it just might be that not being insulin resistant is the larger underlying reason for their health.  Most people who offer up such advice (just eat less and exercise more) are well intentioned, but some are smug and judgmental.  Do you really think that two thirds of our country are completely stupid, lazy and slothful?  The fat people I know put in tremendous effort to eat nutritious food, limit calories, and exercise their tails off.  It makes me sad that they would so benefit from knowing about the more recent research but instead are told they will " ruin their metabolism" if they dare try it.[/quote]

Absolutely agree too![/quote]

But how does that explain the crazy increase in obesity in the few decades?  I mean genetics always plays a part for certain people but not two thirds of the country.[/quote]
