metabolic health can be a factor in obesity, but the primary driver of metabolic dysfunction is also diet and exercise.
It is possible that you may metabolize food slightly different from other people. What is not possible is that your body is defying conservation of energy and mass.
I wont go into all the possible problems with using dinner comparison as a benchmark, because the charitable take is that you sharing a sentiment, not proof of anything.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> What is not possible is that your body is defying conservation of energy and mass Your body has a lot of latitude in modifying its base metabolism. Folks with metabolic syndrome can reduce food intake to virtually zero and their bodies will still try turning off vital mechanisms before burning fat stores. Most people get into obesity through bad habits. But good habits aren't enough to get out. (The exception to my first statement are those with genetic or hormonal factors.)
- s1artibartfast 2y agoMetabolic syndrome is a board classification, and what you described constitutes a tiny portion. For the vast majority of people with Metabolic syndrome, lifestyle change is both capable and necessary for reversing the issue. The challenge is that the syndrome is resistant to incremental change require a lot more than simply adopting what would otherwise be healthy steady state behaviors. That is to say, the syndrome goes away if you get back to a normal weight, it is just extremely hard to do it. Im hopeful GLP-1 drugs will help some people break through this wall.
