I’ve always thought this was true. When I see grossly obese people, I can’t believe that they are just lazy or gluttonous, or simply eating too many *calories*. That’s only a part of it, and it’s more WHAT they are eating, and an inability of their bodies to handle it.
My husband and I have both had success with low carb diets. If someone has a great deal of weight to lose, though, I’d suggest they talk to a doctor who advocates the low-carb diet before trying it. There may be conditions for which it’s not a good idea, or at least should be monitored carefully.

Well it often is both. To get so grossly overweight that some people are, inaction is a big factor. But the calories have to get in there in the first place, and they are taking in far too many calories per day, far too many of the wrong types of calories, and not nearly enough activity.
The documentary Fat Head proves one can get healthier, eating a fast food diet for a month, by putting a reasonable ceiling on your daily calories, avoiding the sugar soda, and limiting carb intake, and doing some mild walking 5 days a week.
Low carb diets are the only ones in the long run that will work.
The very diet farmers put cattle on to gain weightmis the bery same diet fedgov preaches to us will keep us lean and healthy.
It dont work.
