> Sugar (or bad food) is an addiction. It's not about nutritionists or scientific evidence, it's about having enough mental strength to stay away from bad foods.
You're close. Attempting to do so while not having any understanding of why things happen is a recipe for disaster.
It must be reasoned that obesity is a disorder caused by something more then just 'poor eating habits'. There are physiotypes that will simply resist obesity on the worst of diets. I don't need to link a paper for this, this should be common sense from anyone's experience around enough people.
So, if you reason that obesity is a disorder or sickness... you would then try to treat the cause, not the symptom. In the same sense that a person with a peanut allergy would simply avoid peanuts, a person with obesity may have this state caused by disturbed leptin/insulin signaling. A diet must then be designed to compensate for that disorder. (we know that once surplus white adipose tissue is grown, there's no going back, a modified diet must be adapted for life or those buckets just start filling again)
