Obesity as malnourishment

"Obesity is often blamed on overeating and lack of willpower.

Overweight people might think that something is inherently wrong with them because they cannot control their calorie intake.

I want to shatter this myth once and for all.

The seeming lack of control is the body’s way of letting us know it needs something that it is not getting.

If we eat low nutrient foods (no matter what the calorie count is), the cravings never end and we keep eating in a desperate but futile attempt to nourish ourselves.

Obesity is one way the body indicates to us that it is not receiving the nutrients it needs to function in the easy and elegant manner that it was designed for."
