Obesity has little to do with inactivity, according to researchers

A new study concludes that what we eat plays a far greater role.

Nothing really new - many of us have been saying this for a while - but perhaps it carries more weight coming from a new study

I hate that they say it's 90% diet. That leaves it open to weasel shit and people saying it's 10% genetic.

No, it's fucking not. Count your fucking calories for a month and tell me it's genetic.

If all you want is for the number on the scale to go down, diet will certainly do that. If you want to be healthy though, you should definitely exercise.

Yes. But getting to a healthy weight first is going to make exercise a lot easier, and getting to a healthy weight has immense health benefits in and of itself.

You should always do both, but as is always said, you cannot outrun or out exercise your mouth. It's completely impossible. You absolutely MUST control your diet as well as exercise to be healthy.

Losing weight is a long term project. You have to change the diet permanently for it to have a lasting effect, so starting there is going to be easiest. Exercising will absolutely make it more effective, but some people are not going to be able to do much at first. 15-20 pounds can be the difference between hurting your feet/knees/back, or not.

100%, if you are a lard ass then de-lardify yourself first, although you can certainly lift weights at almost any weight. If you can stand up you can do some weights.

You'd make a fine GP, Cad Cad - I love your perspective here <3 I'll now start saying de-lardify yourself to every fatty I encounter.

Generally speaking, most food you buy in stores has food values grossly under-estimated. No such thing as that cookie only having 130kcal. Especially in the US.

EU is a little better off, since you can't quite feed people paper&glue and call it healthy eating.

I've gotten fatter in the past 2 years. Stress, less movement, being lazy, not holding true to the diet and spending even more time behind a computer will do that.
And you know who is to blame for all that? Yeah. PEBKAC.

You have to stop putting blame where it doesn't belong. Have to recognize there's a problem, which comes pretty hard for some people.

‘This Is Astounding’: Overnight, Millions More Americans Could Be Labeled Obese

Adding waist size to BMI raises U.S. obesity rates from 42.9% to 68.6%, according to a major JAMA Network Open study.
studyfinds.org studyfinds.org

I support this change because 99% of the time when someone says "BMI is bullshit, it says I'm fat!" thats a fat person saying it.

And 99% of the time they have a big gut but claim "theyre not fat, BMI is just bullshit man!"
