Is being fat a disease

[BrokenPegasus]

As the great Dr House said. Being fat is not a disease. It's a symptom.

Fat IS a symptom, or at least the hunger that makes you fat. Risperidone, An Antiphyscotic medication, has a side effect of hunger. There are more I used this one because of the usage in the show.

I do realize a symptom and side effect are not the exact same, however my point stands

Doença não é,mas a obesidade contribui muito para o surgimento de doenças no corpo ,mas cada um deveria saber o que faz com seu corpo e tentar sempre o lado da saúde .

I have a two way opinion, because, yes it can be a disease but there are fat people that are just fat because they want to.

While yes people can be fat if they want to they do not have to be, however ever there are people who are fat due to an eating disorder or such

It can lead to disease. I think unanimously we can all agree its unhealthy and a massive strain on the body.

Yes, obesity is a disease. A disease for which there is no cure. An obese person may even lose weight, but his mind will always tell him to eat more than he really needs. When he loses weight, he needs to constantly control himself so as not to return to old habits. It's not because he's lazy, but because his brain thinks he needs to go back to consuming everything he used to.

it depends how fat are talking, but we all should avoid getting too fat for health reasons, nothing else

So many good opinions and relevant points being made above. Genetics play a vital role in controlling your fat and muscle percentage.

 

[SpamMehFoo]

It all comes down to your genetics. Everyone is different. Some can pound it down and not gain anything and some will barely eat and gain 5 pounds.

It depends on the source, one again risperdon (a medicine I was on) can make you eat more without needing to, but quitting the medicine can lessen the impact and even stop it

Eh, fat isn't the disease, but what comes from it surely is. IE. Diabetes. Cancer. If you're fat, it's an indication that you're introducing shit into your body that is not good for you, or is but has side-effects (risperdon as an example BrokenPegasus which I too am on), which still may lead to overweight.
