Especially in America, because so many of the industries are literally in it for MONEY (including, a lot of times, the diet industry). Just exercising more is not the answer. Fad diets are not the answer. Just cutting out fat/carbs is not the answer.
People who are fat are not just "lazy." They don't just need to "eat less and exercise more." They should not be shamed, because they're, for the most part, merely victims of corrupt industries.
As someone who has put a lot of focus on health through the years and knows a LOT, if anyone on Tengaged is ever looking to lose unhealthy weight/eat better and wants some solid advice, hit me up :) Love to chat about it!
