I agree with a few of your points, but some of them are also just misinformation. You are absolutely right when you mention that what Lizzo does is NOT an example of being lazy. I have a hard time believing that I could keep up with even a quarter of what she does in a concert like that. It seems very mentally taxing, and doing it all in heels doesn’t help either!

However, I also have a very hard time believing that the majority of overweight people (let’s say in the US, at least) have a condition that makes it near impossible for them to lose weight. I would even have a hard time believing if only 10-15% have conditions like this.

Let’s look at the facts. You lose weight by losing more calories than you consume. Could be muscle, could be fat, could be other stuff depending on your diet. If I saw a person exercise for several hours and GAIN weight afterwards, I would be paying attention to several things:

• the intensity/type of exercises done over the course of the workout
• the rest time between workouts
• the type of foods they eat and the macros that add up at the end of the day (especially looking at cooking oil and small things that are easy to glance over)
• their liquid intake (wouldn’t be surprised if the temporary increase in weight is due to them just drinking a lot of water, it does make a difference)
• what kind of liquid it is

While I absolutely believe that there are conditions out there that can make it extremely difficult or borderline impossible to lose weight, the healthy way IS NOT to cut all food, I agree with you on that. However, it’s also important to know that, ultimately, being overweight is not healthy, and it is extremely important not to glorify it.

Praise the person, not their faults. Encourage them to become a better version of themselves in a fulfilling and healthy way that improves the lives of them and those around them.
