      But what if the medical care is loosing weight?

      What do you expect them to do when a 160kg dude is rolled into the ICU with his third heart attack of the month? A transplant?

        Every time people talk about this, they always envision the most morbidly obese example that they can think of, when we’re really just talking about the average slightly overweight/obese people. Those people often have their actual medical needs ignored by doctors and are given “lose weight” as a cure all. There are literally hundreds of millions of people who experience this.
