I wonder how she'd do on a long hike?

It’s not hard to lose weight and do it deliciously. Bodybuilders are masters at burning fat but retaining muscle.
Well, if a bear was chasing us, I would make it back to the vehicle. I might have to trip her, though.
Weight loss is not automatically required for good health.
What she does not mention is very large numbers of people in modern society are unhealthily overweight.
She looks at the exceptions rather than the rule.
How about Stacey Abrams? The media always made comments about Trump!

There are more than “health” benefits to being at an appropriate weight. You look better, your clothes fit better, and life is just more COMFORTABLE when you limbs aren’t padded with fat and you don’t have a massive belly to deal with. Encouraging people to remain overweight is not doing them any favors.
Fat people simply do not live as long.
I see gluttons are just as proud to parade their foolishness regarding health these days as immunologists.
Telling stupid people what they want to hear.
One can get rich doing it.
I am more likely to listen to advice about weight from a drop dead gorgeous doc...
;-)
The extra weight takes it’s toll as the body ages. She’s a quack.
So many people have views but they don’t read the literature.
Yes, if you’re over weight you are more at risk.
If you are overweight and want a knee replacement or a hit replacement, you need to lose some weight first and stop smoking.
If you are losing weight and you are not dieting, it’s significant. See your doctor. If he/she ignores your weight loss, see another doctor.
BS.
Weight is a huge factor.
That woman should have her medical licenses pulled.
She’s violating the Hippocratic Oath.
I’m a Medical Technologist, what she is selling is plain nuts.
smh
Gluttony leads to sloth. Both are deadly sins.
No, but you can improve it more by maintaining a healthy weight.
I’ll give her that being a decent weight is no guarantee of being healthy.
The person who can eat with impunity and not put on weight isn’t necessarily eating well, nor exercising enough.
However, being overweight comes with its own innate health issues, with a high propensity towards diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc.
It’s irresponsible to not advise someone to lose weight. And it can be done without guilt tripping them. The causes for the weight gain need to be addressed for the weight loss to be successful.
My health insurance goes up cause of the obese..and then there’s all the disability claims my taxes pay for
fat people...cry me a river
5 years from now: “Obese MD who said being fat is just fine dies of cardiac arrest”
My endocrinologist is angry that young women’s health is being neglected as they gain lots of weight and no one tries to help them lose it and regain their health. There is much she can do to help, but they need to come get it, and not listen to those who say it doesn’t matter. Obesity matters.
