True, if weight is your only consideration. Our overly sugary diets hurt our livers regardless of our size...though it must be noted that most people who exercize eat healthier anyways, it takes dedication to get the dyuhbitus!

The whole insulin spike thing.Really those sugars and simple processed carbs are the big culprits.

Not really true. This applies to those who are a healthy weight because they already have the balance worked out in their diet and lifestyle (and of course thst balance is the goal, and i think the point of this thread). But If you suddenly started eating a ton of crap and increase the portions (aka whatever the fuck you want assuming you actually want crap), you'd get fatter fast. In fact, 70% of it is about diet. 20% about exercise. 10% is just plain old genetics.
A person who is fat can't lose weight without dramatically changing their diet even if they exercise hard 4 hours a day. But they can drop weight extremely quickly of they radically change their diet, even if they don't increase their exercise at all.
It is almost all about diet.

Yeeeeeep!

It's like saying how pure heroin doesn't harm you- that the addiction and lack of eating and everything else that comes with it kills you but not the actual heroin.

That's not true. Exercise is key, but more importantly is moderation and portion control.

I guess it boils down to everyone's body being different & responding differently to certain changes. I haven't changed my diet at all, and I eat like shit. But I started walking 2-3 miles a day back in July and I've lost 25 lbs. I'm sure my blood pressure and cholesterol suck but they always have, even when I was a lot more conscious about my diet. Damn genetics.

it is also not just about weight. lots of people are what is called "inside fat". people who have a ridiculously high metabolism, so they can eat like shit and still maintain a healthy BMI, but they may end up dying of a heart attack early in life anyway because of heart disease or blocked arteries.

There are some interesting theories about environmental triggers and genetic makeup. I'm reading a book about epigenetics that says environmental factors may play a greater role in health than simply looking at genetic profiles.

Eating sugar doesn't cause type 2 diabetes at all. Being overweight can (it's a lot to do with genetics too).

Pj,simple carbs and refined sugars directly effect Insulin resistance,And are a precursor to both Type 2 and Metabolic syndrome(Which technically is also An Insulin resistance issue).Sure genetics play a big roll but sugars/Simple carbs/processed foods are bad little fuckers for the body.Eating too much of both make you fat.Being fat can kill you.

On a somewhat related note, apparently this author/blogger scammed a whole bunch of people by claiming she had cured her brain tumour with "natural therapies" and whole foods. Turns out she never had cancer. Mysteriously, the proceeds from her book that were supposed to be donated to charity somehow never got there.

She also claimed she had a stroke at 20. Seems she may have Munchausen.

Pretty fucked up and sad too.

Girl needs some serious help (plus, she has a child?!).
