    I’ve read that American food is particularly bad, and you are right, but the factor contributing most is the metabolism with which you are born, other things important are levels of stress, ability to sleep well.

    Exercise is important, yes. Eating right is as well. Just keep in mind that some things are outside your control, and if you think your health is your own achievement, that might not be entirely correct.

      Eh, no

      The factor that matters most isn’t your metabolism. If that were true we’d have sever overweight issues since thousands of years but we haven’t. The overweight pandemic is caused by too much food, period.

      Want to lose weight? Whatever your metabolism is, eat less, eat healthier. It’s that simple.

      Yeah, exercise a lot, that’s healthy and needed. It won’t make you think though unless you really exercise a lot (3+ hours a day, every day)

      Easiest way is to just eat less. Eat smaller portions, stop eating processed foods, cut your sugar intake.

      There are some super interesting videos of a physicist / chemist going over the basics of the chemistry involved and implications of it, I can send those if you’re interested
