I'm curious if you have been able to find research that directly compares people who seek weight loss vs those who do not, but who just improve the other 7 areas. How would you weigh weight maintenance vs weight fluctuations that come for the 80% who lose and regain weight? This is my pet question so I love hearing others' perspectives. :)
Isn’t there a difference between excess weight and obesity? In other words, I would think there is a spectrum with morbid obesity being on the extreme end. I would also think that where the person resides on the spectrum would impact the outcomes you mention.
In my view it all comes down to whether any excess weight is causing a health related issue of which there are many. Much of this at least initially comes down to the distribution of subcutaneous versus visceral fat.
