Less weight on the joints sure, but reactive hypoglycemia and iron deficiency also. Less weight on the joint can help you pursue health by making activity less destructive to joints, but if you don't become more active, being thin does nothing by itself. Sounds like we are largely in agreement but I don't think being thin is a goal at all. Obesity is a bar set too low. I think my wife might be back to obese at 150lbs, and she is still thin af to me. Sex sucked when she was skin and bones.

Yes, basically. You have to pursue the healthy lifestyle that leads to being thing is what I'm trying to say.
