I think it's unethical not to be transparent with people about the dangers.
Transparency is the dangers of weight cycling.
You can go down that path.
That's a separate issue.
You're presuming they're weight cycling.
If you're doing your job, they shouldn't have to weight cycle, right?
No, it's not about me.
It's about the body.
The body is so smart.
We are, but we're animals.
Our bodies, when we lose weight, our body goes, oh shit, she just starved me.
I'm going to do everything I can to try to get back to that place.
Drive up thoughts about food.
Slow down metabolism to conserve the energy you are getting.
Are you suggesting that because it's hard and it's multifactorial, we should negate the dangers and not try to get healthier?
No, I'm suggesting that it's more dangerous to weight cycle than it is to stay in a fat body.
That's still not the claim.
And if you want to show me that, sure, show me the data.
I'm not going to argue with that.
It's not healthy to do that either.
