I'm not even overweight by any of the standard medical measures, nor do I have any medical issues linked to weight in even the most glorious fatphobe's imagination, and I get told to try a low-fat low-carb diet for weight loss every time I go to the doctor.

There are definitely people who do need to lose weight for medical reasons - i.e., people who are having lifechanging surgery withheld by their insurance until they can crash their bodyweight - but op, doctors don't know shit about healthy bodyweights or what conditions are actually truly improved by weight loss.

They also don't know how to lose weight. All the studies show that only about 1-3% of the population can keep weight off long term. And studies have also shown that yo-yoing weight is waaaaay more unhealthy than just being fat.

We know everything there is to know about types of body fat and how stress effects nutrient absorption and fat retention and how and which impurities in food affect all types of health - in feed animals. We don't know any of this for humans. We're blaming individuals for a systemic problem.

DA

But this. And it rarely gets any attention at all because the yelling about how any critical discussion of obesity is really just "attacking fat people" short-circuits serious conversations or puts them out of view of the internet.

Yep. And most people can lose weight short-term and keep it up for a few months/years by starving themselves, and sometimes that can temporarily help with a health problem, but when they inevitably gain it back the health issues come back, usually worsened by the unhealthy eating.

If they are solved long-term it's because the weight loss earned them the right to have doctors look at how to *actually* help.
