friendly reminder that the diet industry is a scam, and if you're reasonably active and don't have an actual eating disorder your weight is probably fine.
Human bodies have a wide variety of weights that they default to and trying to force them away from that equilibrium isn't healthy. if you're hungry, you should probably eat.
People who are categorized as 'overweight' by the BMI scale, (BMI is also a BS metric and was never intended to be used for individuals but it's what we have) have a higher rate of heart disease but a lower rate of dying of heart disease.
The real science on this isn't being suppressed, technically, but the media that would convey it to the general public have a financial interest in keeping that public insecure about their weight, so they just don't amplify it. (it's capitalism's fault, as usual) The science is there, but it's buried in scientific journals and mostly in the form of study papers which aren't easily understood by laypeople.
