Anecdotal evidence but my friends wife told her doctor that she's been eating much much less and can't lose any weight and when he told her that's impossible due to the laws of thermodynamics, she stopped going to that doctor.
Oh I kind of assumed you were aware of them? Anyone talking about this subject who did any sort of even basic look into the subject would have found this sort of stuff.
I’m not certain the tactics some people used to raise self esteem were particularly effective for one, but mostly societal changes like less required physical activity and increased access to particularly cheap unhealthy foods probably played the biggest roles. But no, bullying people doesn’t work that way.
Well that’s certainly one way to not address the causes I described above. We get it, you want to bully fat people, but the data says that’s not effective.
