A member asked:
Can one be obese and metabolically healthy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metabolically healthy means that your body is able to respond to food in a beneficial way that reduces your risk of conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. So the answer is no - you are eating in a way that is not preventing obesity. Best to eat low fat, low sugar, no processed food, fruits/vegetables, gluten free.
