Yeah I was annoyed the article conflated height and weight. Height cannot be controlled, but obesity is the result of poor lifestyle choices (except for rare medical situations). I think most people assume being overweight correlates with other bad habits like poor self-control and general personal sloppiness. My own weight has fluctuated over the years between normal and obese and I'm definitely more on the ball, much more confident, and higher energy when I'm fit.
- gohrt 11y agoHi, generally sloppy person with poor self-control, checking in. Thin as a rail. Metabolism is a scientific fact. Fat people who diet and exercise become big built people. Skinny people who eat and don't work out don't become fat in a way that can be seen through street/business clothing.
- lololomg 11y ago> Metabolism is a scientific fact. The difference between 'high' and 'low' metabolism is very small. You just eat less which is why you are thin as a rail. People are very bad at self-reporting caloric intake, there are several studies on this.
- sheepmullet 11y agoYeah, it's about 300 calories. Or a single bottle of Coke.
