Reply to comment by arrozconfrijol in Research found weight loss was associated with decreased risk factors for cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes for at least five years — even if some weight was regained, according to a review of research on behavioral weight loss programs by Wagamaga

>But everyone is different and everyone’s issues with food are different. Some people thrive on being bullied and proving people wrong, some people are very very hurt by that and it has the opposite effect. Health at every size provides a more gentle and holistic approach to working towards a healthier body. No matter what size that body is.

While telling people anti-science like"you can be healthy at 400 pounds". We know this isn't true. All other factors being equal, being obese raises the risk of heart disease by 28%.

It also does not help that obesity increases the risk of other issues like: Diabetes, Cancer and Arthritis.

Please read my comment again. I didn’t say you can “be healthy at 400 pounds,” I said you can be 400 and engage in healthy behaviors: like eating better, working out, etc. And even if you don’t lose 200 pounds, your health will probably improve. It’s not too far from that the study in this link is showing.
