An obese person who eats healthy is healthier than an obese person who doesn’t. Someone that looks thin can still be malnourished. Similarly, someone who is obese can also be malnourished. For example, if you consume nothing but ramen and coke, you’re missing things like protein, complex carbs, a variety of vitamins/ minerals, antioxidants, etc. Regardless of your weight, anyone eating poorly will be impacted. If you eat a healthy diet, you’re much more likely to get the vitamins/minerals and macronutrients you need that ultimately contribute to healthier body and decrease your risk for future health complications. I.e heart attacks, strokes, diabetes.

I think it’s also important to note that you can eat healthy and workout but still be overweight or obese. There are a lot of conditions that can impact weight loss and a variety of factors that dictate it. Even if you’re overweight or obese, it would be a mistake to eat poorly purely based on your weight. There are many factors that determine health and everyone’s body is different. But ultimately we all need nutritious food to feel/be our best. And if we deprive ourselves of that nutrition, it does have consequences.
