Excluding weight gain from corticosteroids or something exotic like elephantiasis, it is literally always overeating. I'm prone to it, and nobody can consider it an individual moral failing when obesity has become a massive global epidemic. But there's genuinely no getting around the fundamental reality that it's calories in, calories out. Apparently the majority of humans overeat when living a sedentary lifestyle with a readily available food surplus. The incredible success of GLP-1 agonists really hammers that point home if anyone was still unconvinced.
"excluding [things I know about], it is literally always [the only other thing I know about.]" Again, I stress fallibility.
Believe what you want, I made a very reasonable point.
Look, I've tried taking a day to reply because this comment pissed me off so much. I watched my mother count calories as a kid and it emotionally scarred me. She wasn't suffering from the examples you gave. I don't care to share personal details and shouldn't have to for you to be aware you may not know everything.
Thanks for your time!
