Wow. Losing weight by not eating apparently is not the correct, moral way to do it either. That's a kind of shaming that even Ozempic patients don't get. Apparently the only moral way is to struggle with terrible exertion and discomfort and mostly fail but sometimes succeed. Only then you earned joining the club of people with healthy, normal weight.

Anorexia is when people starve themselves to an unhealthy degree based on mental issues, body dysmorphia, something like that. Someone intermittent fasting to lose excess weight and having success at it isn't the same.

The trouble is who do you ask? Because naturally people with eating disorders won't think, or say, they have an ED. They'll say they're living a healthier lifestyle and they're getting all the food they need.

I see this all the time with body builders. They're convinced they're healthy, but in reality, they absolutely despise food. It's a chore to them. And to top it off they have extreme body dysmorphia, often pushing them to drug use that kills them.

This is probably the dumbest comment I've seen on HN regarding weight loss so far, and that's really saying something considering the recent Ozempic thread.
