You may not believe this, but most people don't have the inner drive of an NCAA champion. Better food/diet is equally or more important than exercise. Most people can't out- exercise a poor diet, just my observation.

I live in a population group of 10,000 or so with zero obesity and most were not ncaa sports peeps. You should see the difference between our basketball parents and the valley hoi polloi when we go to hoops tournaments. The difference isn’t a result of cutting seed oils or going on keto or carnivore.

My general counter is "look at the Europeans!" who walk everywhere, and of course the seemingly endless anecdotes of "I went to Europe ate what I wanted and lost weight!" cause of all the walking.
Typically basic exercise reduces the desire for a poor diet. Poor diet would mean eating an excessive amount of calories, which becomes much harder to do if you're exercising. Or are you focused on where the calories come from in terms of making it "poor"?

This. When we took the kids to London for Spring Break in 2023, we were logging like 5 miles a day on foot just sightseeing.
Sometimes people forget the the most important diet is the one that keeps you in caloric balance. Adipose tissue is the root off all evil.

I seriously doubt it's due to exercise, only. More than likely they have much healthier diets, in addition to doing some exercise.
"You are what you eat" is generally true. Pretty tough to outwork a shit diet.

Pretty tough for the average American to walk 5 miles a day when they're at work 8 - 10 hours a day.
My point about poor diet is that basically everything that's not fresh-prepared is stuffed with sugar and carbs. Look at the calorie count of the average fast food joint. Multiply that across 3 meals and you're upwards of 3,000 calories a day.

For breakfast I have a glass of juice a banana and a granola bar. I eat dinner - usually light like a chicken breast in a soft shell burrito. Less than half a breast
When I hit 240lb in 2008 or so I got a gym membership that I kept until covid. And I went there. Even after moving to California. By doing that I eventually got down to 160 pounds and could eat more than I do today. If I exercised and or walked I could keep pizza on the menu once a week. Shit like that or grabbing a McDonalds while on the run. Didn't matter
We move back here and no gym and limited walking and I have to cut way back on food and even still I got to 180 at the new year.
I've dropped 5 pounds since but it is much much harder without exercise and my love of wine on the weekends
I believe in self denial but I've never been a fanatic about it. I need exercise

One would have to eat incredibly clean and disciplined to be anywhere close to being healthy with a sedentary lifestyle.
I get that it's hard to be active working 8- 10 hrs a week while raising kids and what not. But I don't what know of another solution that doesn't involvement getting some movement.

I'm not talking about doing nothing at all, but most people aren't going to carve out an hour a day for exercise. That seems to be the reality of things these days.

I noticed this and was my take-away when in Asia about 12 years ago. They had both walking exercise and a sweaty climate, and the food in the open-air markets are fresh-prepared and not full of sugar, carbs and bull shit US chemicals.
Also the open-air markets cater to the lowest common denominator financially speaking. Across the street at McDonalds was 9x the cost. Ask me how I know.
In America, McDonalds with all its bullshit ingredients, caters to the lowest common denominator. Recall "the dollar menu"
At the tim, i felt my BMI in America was average. In Asia, I was 98-99%. When the hooker accuses you of being prego ….. Fat ass.
