> Just eat balanced and go outside every now and then Hot take: If it were that easy, obesity wouldn't exist. People are different, their metabolism works at different rates, they might have sensitivity to different foods, and not everyone has the chance or resources to solve the likely psychological issues related to the condition (either cause of, or caused by) - which are often the hardest ones. Diets can provide some direction, and are useful in a number of situations. You can't tell a prediabetic person to "just eat balanced", because that will not work - they need a precise diet to survive and possibly revert the condition.
