[Article] An article from the front page of the BBC today, discussing obesity and weight loss.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57419041

I'm posting it here to get a second opinion on the content. It seems incredibly inconsistent to me, going from talking about her losing eight and a half stone (55kg) and completing a triathlon before going back to talking about unavoidable weight gain regardless of diet and exercise and bringing up set point theory as an explanation for why some people can't lose weight.

The statistic about approximately 1/700 to 1/1000 people a year succeeding in going from morbid obesity to normal weight seems deceptive as well, as it's excluding anyone who lost a minor amount of weight, which is still a success.

I think it's bothering me because this is the kind of article I'd have referred to a couple of years to justify my obesity.
