Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

There are barriers to weight loss and weight management. Many metabolic conditions prevent the body from burning its own fat stores. Delving into how insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome work in the obese body helps bring more understanding to the issue. With that being said, it's still our responsibility to manage our weight by any healthy means necessary because obesity is objectively a driver of many bad health conditions that you really don't want to experience first hand.
If a person is obese and type 2 diabetic or has other metabolic syndrome symptoms, often the best course of action is to use intermittent fasting with a ketogenic diet focused around whole foods to correct weight. It also ameliorates fatty liver disease which is often concurrent with obesity. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7132133/) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9919384/)
Overnutrition is extremely, extremely easy to do. Food cravings can destroy a diet in a second, but what I've come to find out is that when you stick to keto and IF, the food cravings disappear. I guess all of this makes me fatphobic and ignorant of "medical science" because I support healthy weight management. I'm really not sure what the actual argument is here. It was more of a statement. But anyway, being obese is not wrong, it's just not healthy. It will make the person very sick and immobile as the years go by.
