Even a metabolic disorder is only good for pudgy

Not what we see

I’ve had graves for 37 years

I was untreated and hypothyroid three years

I put on 25-30 pounds. Extra

A quarter of this country haven’t seen their genitalia in years without a mirror

That’s being conservative it’s probably a third

Many people and there is a societal socioeconomic aspect simply don’t care anymore and feel little pressure to stay somewhat normal body weight

I’m six five

225-230

Id like to be 200 but I’ve been 272

It’s nothing more than caloric discipline

No disease makes anyone 2-3 times normal body weight

(But you and I hear that here sometimes)

The ONLY person I knew who was fat because of a physical issue had had cancer of something like the pituitary gland and no longer had one, and that person was on a whole bunch of artificial hormones. And yes, would be considered about double normal body weight.

However, that was ONE person in almost 70 years.

I also know someone who has lost over 50 pounds by just cutting out soda and fast food. Not even trying hard to *diet* otherwise, like eating salads all the time or calorie restriction. Just cutting out the crap.

I agree with you on that. The kind of fat we see today is eating and lifestyle habits, not metabolic anything.
