There are currently 2 theories flying around about why we get fat - (1) lack of exercise and calories in excess + (2) a broken metabolism, currently attributed to hyperinsulinemia / insulin resistance. People that believe in the calories theory have trouble accepting that some people are fat simply because their body is malfunctioning, while people believing in the broken metabolism theory complain about how short-sighted the calories theory is. It is my belief that both theories are correct - some people get fat due to eating a lot and not exercising, while others get fat due to a malfunctioning metabolism. I lost 45 pounds by cutting sugar from my diet and by eating dissociated. I'm still lazy, I'm still not exercising, but my current weight has been stable for the past 6 months with little effort and I'm 10 pounds short of the ideal.
