Then its up to those people to fucking get out of their asses and exercise. It's one thing to be fat because of a health issue like hypothyroidism, and a whole different thing to choose being fat. In either case, you can't really demand people to think an unhealthy, droopy and blobby body is beautiful, all you can ask is for people to not be rude about it.
Here's a very apt comparison: I suffer from hyperhidrosis, a condition which makes me sweat 100% of the time regarless of temperature. Which do you think more reasonable: that I wear deodorant, refresh myself and shower often; or that I demand people to live with and enjoy my body odour?
Diet is the major part of it, you don't burn a ton or calories through exercise to be honest. You need to be working from a deficit to get anywhere
It's objectively more effective to exercise more than to eat less. There are countless studies on the subject.
Mind sending one? Way I've understood it, a calorie deficit is the major thing you need to lose fat consistently. Obviously don't overdo it, obviously exercise as well, and some things like protein are better than others. At the end of the day though, you work on a deficit and you'll lose fat, have an excess and you won't
I'd argue it's a mental health issue.
Edit: I did not clearly represent my point. I meant that even overweight people without physical health issues are likely dealing with some unresolved mental health issues as well. And I say that sympathetically.
yup, sounds very psychological to me
also like... a mental health issue is also a health issue?
That's not what I meant. I understand what hypohyroidism is. I just meant overweight people without something physical like that are probably going through something mentally. Is that controversial?
it's not, but that's not the way you phrased it originally
Yeah, I see how that could have been unclear, sorry. I wasn't intending to dispute the quoted portion, but to expand on it.
okay yeah sorry then, guess this whole thread got me a bit worked up lol
I mean the person in the pic is not fat. That is the point.
