Metabolism and obesity

There is little evidence that obesity is related to slower resting metabolism. Resting metabolic rate doesn't vary much between people. Weight gain and loss are directly attributable to diet and activity.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9] Benjamin (talk) 19:05, 13 January 2017 (UTC) (@EvergreenFir:[reply]

The content was correct. Would be good to use better sources though. What about this one. https://books.google.ca/books?id=RUQKjpkeLugC&pg=PA180#v=onepage&q&f=false Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:48, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Doc James: I'll trust your judgement here regarding MEDRS. I just know the sources originally given do not abide by it, but if you know of ones that do, that's fine. Not opposed to the content, just the sources. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:31, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@EvergreenFir: yes agree with you that the prior sources were poor. The one I linked to is good. So hopefully User:Benjaminikuta can use that. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:34, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, user:Doc James. I'll go ahead and make the edit, if that's okay. Could you tell me which sources are okay, and which aren't? Benjamin (talk) 07:02, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe include something about how some fat acceptance activists claim genetics, or something called "starvation mode", prevents them from losing weight, or even makes them gain weight, despite maintaining a prolonged calorie deficit, and how that is unsupported by medical science and the laws of thermodynamics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.223.45.126 (talk) 15:58, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I must fully concur, sir. I lost over two hundred pounds over the course of two years simply by dropping all carbs from my diet. And the weight has stayed off over ten years, now. Weight gain and loss are directly attributable to diet and activity, not some mysterious "slow metabolism" issue. 174.28.35.236 (talk) 04:59, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It´s really not that simple. Consensus article from weight conference 2020 with lots of experts in the area https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0803-x Plutten4ever (talk) 20:21, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

References

" labor productivity in the coastal areas of the United States"

The current state of the article includes a statement that views of fat acceptance affected "labor productivity in the coastal areas of the United States". Is this a documented and widely held belief, that geography was a major factor in people's views? Pete unseth (talk) 13:59, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Horseback riding

I think this is an interesting topic that could be added to the article.

What do others here think?
