Tracking and weighing everything is a massive waste of time and energy. There are no obese animals (humans included) in the wild. Just stop eating the wrong things.

I maintain a muscular 225 by eating dairy, eggs, and meat. If I want to drop down to 215, I drop dairy.

How old are you?

Not him but because your answer surprised me I chose to reply: at 34 it is also something I always wondered.

Becoming obese always seemed a little extreme to me and I fail to imagine how someone could reach that state without the accordingly extreme food-related habits - though maybe I'm just lucky to have the "right" metabolism and thus cannot relate.

Though even if obesity was always linked to eating disorders, I understand that "just stop" is not an appropriate response to that issue.

It's influenced by a range of factors beyond eating habits

Only in the sense that a ball dropping to the ground when you release it is influenced by a range of factors beyond gravity.

I’m in my late twenties or early thirties.
