Does fat shaming work? I heard about r/fatpeoplehate, unfortunately, after it closed. This is my problem, I've been with my bf for 5 years, in 2020 he put on about 20lbs, bringing him to 190lbs. Then in 2021 he went from 190 to 280. idk what to do.

Damn..100lbs in one year has to be dangerous.

Fat shaming doesn't work unfortunately.

They feel sorry for themselves then comfort eat more.

Best to do regular home cooked meals and look into low carb diets.

Here's an article with a few good tips. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/eating-better-six-steps-down-the-carb-mountain

We do have an s/fatpeoplehate

Have you tried to tell him to lose weight? Is he depressed? Just tie him to the back of your car and drive at a pace that makes it feel uncomfortable for him to walk but enough to not make him topple over.

I heard there were success stories on the old subreddit. Of people actually losing weight. Is that true? It seems like it should work, right? But all I read is that fat shaming is bad/unhelpful. Which doesn't make sense to me. idk.
