I eat two meals a day and I do not snack. For my metabolism, that is enough. I exercise vigorously regularly. I tend toward good food, and avoid GMO like the plague it is. My sleep pattern is something like 3 3 4 5 1 8 that is the numbers in bold my sleeping, and the plain numbers awake and working or whatever. There is nothing standard, but then none of us is standard.
Now comes news that they want to make obesity a disease. Well, outside the rare medical condition, obesity is a matter of not chewing your food. Chewing blends saliva with food as a predigestion function, and chewing breaks down the tougher fibers.
If you wonder how most of the world can (literally) live on a few dollars a day, in large part their food is more wholesome, they chew it properly, which means better nutrition at a fraction of the cost. They eat less because less is needed to live. The starvation only comes in to play when the local markets are destroyed by mega-food dumped in their markets.
I am not comparing myself to the obese, because I am pretty sure in their situation I may end up the same way. But when I was at a point where I could have gone down any path, there were so many other paths open. I am very sure that many people quit for being discouraged by the lack of opportunity that is the goal of progressive politics. Look at the options: Ikea for furniture, McDonalds for food, Section 8 for housing, Safeway for groceries, Macy's for clothes, RomenyObamacare for medicine, the state for education, and government owned religion and media. Sure, you can still opt out, ironcially, if you have one of the $200,000 a year contractor jobs for the NSA. (Talk about opting out!)
Subsidized foods like McDonalds and KFC are robbed of food value in processing then topped off for instant gratification. When you bite into a KFC chicken, the mmmmmm is in the coating, and the chicken itself quickly has no flavor, so one swallows that rather unchewed. Take another bite to get the satisfation, and so on. As subsidized food, you get a lot of "food" to gulp down, and you get little food value, and so more and more one eats, and gets obese. Same with soda pops. It is no secret the welfare/foodstamp system allows this food to be charge by the poor to the taxpayers. it is a great racket.
When obesity is a disease, then all of the means to reduce obesity become under FDA control. You'll have to see a doctor to lose weight. And the doctor will have some new drugs for you, to prescribe.
Now, also comes news that 70% of Americans are on prescription drugs. Talk about a racket -
Huxley wrote Brave New World in which everyone would be stoned into submission. Orwell wrote 1984 where we would be under totalitarianism. The big question 50 years ago was which one would win? We learn today both did.
One step toward freedom would be to deregulate medicine completely, and we'd see a dotcom boom sized economic recovery. About the state, I think only truth commissions will work.

Mayo Clinic researchers report that antibiotics, antidepressants and painkiller opioids are the most common prescriptions given to Americans. Twenty percent of U.S. patients were also found to be on five or more prescription medications.Where to start? Antibiotics #1? No wonder MRSA is the #1 killer in hospitals. We can beat that with bacteriophages, but we cannot have those in USA. Antidepressants? You do not feel happy? Did you know that passion means "to suffer" and joy is a by-product on solving what causes you to suffer? If you take a pill to avoid the suffering, you deny the rest of us the good of what you would joyfully produce if you contributed your efforts and sought the solutions we all need. Painkillers? some of that is abused, some of it is legit. For the legit, we need to open up the markets to more natural things, like opium.

I think Americans eat way too much food than what they really need. The food we eat is largely due to social conditioning, rather than what we really need to live healthy.
Have you considered the ketogenic diet?:

This diet is what the human body was evolved and designed to thrive on over numerous millennia, before the advent of organized agriculture (grains). It supposedly also greatly decreases the occurrence of cancer.
