In the main, being overweight is the cause of health problems, not the symptom, as you suggest. |
Actually in the mainstream, being overweight is often investigated as the symptom of many conditions and deficiencies, including cushings, thyroid disease, and chronic stress. All underlying causes. If you don't have any of these things you are then lumped, often before any of this is investigated, into the eat less exercise more category. Well, if it was that easy there would be no diet industry, because everyone already knows it.
I'm saying that simplest path to weight loss can be to address any aspect of health. From walking outside and sitting in the sun, to simply adding more health promoting foods, or calling a friend on the phone. These things i think are far more direct than "eat less/exercise more" which has remained unchanged and ineffective for 50 years or more.
