Nope. It's how often people eat. I did intermittent fasting and immediately lost and controlled my weight, and I still eat large portions and junk food.
It's all about controlling your insulin levels.

To put it simply, Intermittent Fasting works so well for weight loss because it keeps our insulin levels down. Elevated insulin levels have been linked with obesity for some time. In fact, obese patients tend to have an overproduction of insulin at nearly 20 percent higher when compared to those of normal weight.

No evidence that intermittent fasting has an advantage over other types of restricted eating. There is a lot of evidence out there showing no big advantage to this type of eating but if it works better for you than great.

Another massive myth here concerning your claim about insulin levels.

Avoid sugary, and high carbohydrate foods human body did not evolve to process large amounts of glucose we are hit with every day. If you go back even 50 years average soda was 12oz bottle. Remember when refills cost money then in the early 1990s' free refills started. We saw big gulp 32oz, 44oz, 64oz at convenient stores. You can line that history right up with Obesity rates over time. That's just one factor lot of others also.

However, the map you posted shows no such thing.

Furthermore, not all those states have GOP leadership. KY's governor, for example, is a Dem.

It's also important to note that the maps I posted from the exact same source, depicting Black and Hispanic obesity, respectively, show MANY more states including blue states as dark red (highest obesity rate).

There is no doubt whatsoever that Blacks, Hispanics, and the poor are the 3 demographic groups that have the highest obesity rates. And all 3 groups overwhelmingly vote Dem. Those are just the indisputable facts.

Can you clarify here? Are you talking about strictly highly processed foods here or any foods with sugars or carbohydrates?

64 oz sugar soda bag of potato chips all that stuff high carb diets mixed with sedentary lifestyle. It's not rocket science don't eat so much junk food, and exercise daily.

The amounts of sodium who knows what that is doing can't be good. I don't eat any fast food if I have to I order a salad. I exercise daily hike ride mountain bikes have to stay active or you will be dead before 60's.

You knew what they meant, but you have an agenda, so you're twisting the point that they where making. The obesity rate keeps getting posted in this thread but the combined rate for obesity & being overweight is conveniently being left out. That rate is 71% among adults. That means that 7/10 adults are at an unhealthy weight. That's an indisputable fact. At the rate you're hitting the whole political and economic spectrum. Seem like it's a problem everyone should be concerned about, no matter political affiliation or economic class.

Doordash, UberEats, etc. even make it that much more convenient to access and consume junk food.

A high carb diet can include organic pasta and pasta sauce, rice etc. completely different than eating ultra processed foods such as potato chips.
