Given that large numbers of obese people don't actually know a way to sustainably and healthily lose weight, focusing on figuring that out would be a good idea.

Given that large numbers of obese people don't actually know a way to sustainably and healthily lose weight, focusing on figuring that out would be a good idea. Note that if the solution is "develop the habit of X", we'd also need to figure out how to actually develop that habit alongside raising kids, holding a job, and not alienating your spouse by hangrily shouting at them. (I include myself in the set of people who don't know the solution, though I've never had this problem. My very naive intuition is that http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/04/25/book-review-the-hungry-brain/ http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/04/25/book-review-the-hungry-... is a... reasonable jumping-off point?)
