Reply to comment by Sculptasquad in Research found weight loss was associated with decreased risk factors for cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes for at least five years — even if some weight was regained, according to a review of research on behavioral weight loss programs by Wagamaga
I hope at the very least you see that “health at every size” is not just saying people saying “I’m healthy!” no matter what size they are and the lifestyle they have. It’s a movement with specific tenets aimed at making healthy behaviors and health accessible to everyone. Specially to people who are usually treated pretty terribly by society at large, which is has dramatic consequences all around for a lot of people.

I also encourage you to look into the complex issue of diets, and how most of them don’t work in the long term.

A lot of people, specially people who have weight issues from a young age, spend their whole lives on and off diets, in a constant cycle of weight gain and loss that destroys their metabolisms.
This approach has the potential to avoid that, and lead to actual sustained health physical benefits and better mental health outcomes.
