While I agree, is it possible that we don't see people come back overweight because those who struggle to meaningfully metabolise their fat reserves just die first?
- Gravityloss 4y agoI have heard a story but it could well be apocryphal. This happened during the second world war. A bunch of random people from different social classes were forced to be without food for a considerable time. Some overweight aristocracts died of starvation first. Somebody probably knows the actual source.
- matt-attack 4y agoWell if you watch enough seasons of Survivor you’ll undoubtedly see the pattern. Overweight people dominate because they clearly have their reserves of energy. Super fit gym rats tap out very early as they struggle in the physicality without their usual food/protein allotments. They simply have no fat reserves to get them through.
