If you are in an equilibrium and do not want to lose weight that may be true. But I think in many countries that is rather the exception than the norm.

- maerF0x0 3y agosure, but even at a modest caloric deficit of 10% (~200 calories per day) using my own stats (200lb 25% body fat) I carry only about 175K calories in total (you cant lose all your fat and live to tell th etale). That would bring me down to a hard to sustain 9.9% bodyfat in under 2 yrs (about 615 days by my quick math). So yeah, even in short order it has to get to equilibrium.
- generic92034 3y agoThe point is that in some countries a high percentage of people are overeating all the time. They can easily do with a caloric deficit, for a long, long time.
- oefnak 3y agoI think mostly Americans have that problem...

- rootusrootus 3y agoThis is what I think of every time someone makes an "Americans fat" comment. Sure, that's true, but if you honestly believe a 20-30% obesity rate is good then I don't know what to say. Y'all are headed the same direction pretty fast. Plus, it varies across the US. In Washington, for example, the rate (while high) is under 30%, while West Virginia is over 40%.
