[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1674216, member: 408573"] I think Tom must be commended for turning around his lifestyle. No one 'allows' obesity to happen to them. Are you aware that weight gain is just one symptom among many of T2? Are you aware that up to 20% of those who develope T2 are of 'normal' weight on diagnosis? Over forty years of dietary advice has been given by Health Care Professionals, professionals who to this day push the eat less move more, calories in calories out, low fat/fear of fat mantra that has brought us to a situation that sees Diabesity at pandemic levels. Blaming individuals for 'allowing' themselves to become unhealthy is unhelpful and frankly not a little harsh. [/QUOTE]
