In your opinion, what do you think about fat acceptance?

In my opinion, yes, we all have to respect everyone whether they are different and accept them for who they are. But, I don't like the idea of fat acceptance. People with overweight body is unhealthy, and that is a fact! They can live with many sicknesses due to their unhealthy body. And support them to stay in their body is a bad idea! Instead of judging them for their size, why don't we support them to become healthy? I mean become healthy is not about having a nice, fit body. It's about keeping balance in health and have a healthy lifestyle.

I try to do that ... obesity is a tough disease ... in most cases it’s a lack of self discipline ... and those individuals feel trapped ! I watched as the ladies ( secretaries and a few lawyers ) hired a nutritionist to come in to the office after work and on Saturdays to get 30 of them on the right track with their diet. She was a keto guru of sorts. She laid out specific diets for 3 weight groups ... worked the individuals when they plateaued , brought recipes and actually made stuff to try . They took off with it ! Then the exercise guy came in and turned our break room into a gym . Taught them what to do . They really did well ... always cooking extra stuff for each other to try . Shared recipes . In 9 months 4 lost over 100 pounds , the average weight loss was 40 pounds ! They look amazing , feel amazing , and none are diabetics or need BP meds any longer . Their worst complaint was their clothes ... had to replace their wardrobes . Point is it’s doable ... it’s not simply easy but very doable . That is what I wish for those who have given up ... get into keto !!
