And exercise. It starts sounding like there's something specific and secret that's been discovered but it's just the same advice. Eat less, exercise, eat better natural foods.
What? The article literally starts off by explaining that 98% of dieters fail to keep their weight down long term, and that dieting bodies go into starvation mode, impeding weight loss. That's the bit that no one talks about. That diet and exercise doesn't help a fat person get thin and stay thin.
The one cure they fail to mention is bariatric surgery. It's the only scientifically proven method of long term weight loss.
Nothing in this article really disproves things about obesity. It mostly just focuses on how doctor's treat fat people, which is pretty bad. It also ignores the other side though, which is people coming in for chronic conditions which could be improved by dieting and exercise. Nevermind the complications from performing surgery on someone who's obese.
Also, it tries to normalize being fat but then says that the obesity rate has doubled. Which is it?
