its not that simple. You can be fat and healthy and fat and unhealthy. It depends on nutrition for example.
The range is super large because most nutrition science is bunk and can not establish a cause-effect relationship between any behavior or food and outcomes. The reason is simply limits in methodology.
In order to definitely prove something causes something, we have to isolate it and show that we can cause it in experiment.
For things like heart disease, that means we literally would have to give people heart disease to prove something causes heart disease.

Basically, trying to pin down a complex system by reducing it to a few factors will always lead to issues.
Take things like the carnivore diet.
- many people have benefits form it
- they loose weight without exercising
- they eat ZERO vegetables and fruits and yet do not suffer from nutritional deficiencies. This should be impossible, given all current theories.
These are scientists you can look into that have been on a meat-only diet for years now, without any issues:
- Dr. Shawn Baker MD
- Dr. Anthony Chaffee MD
- Amber O'Hearn (not a doctor but an academic)
- Professor Bart Kay (Nutritionist, Physiologist)
My advice to you: Do what makes your body feel good. Personally, I feel my best eating nothing but meat, eggs and fats like butter and lard.
If you are afraid of cholesterol and such, look into people like Dave Feldman.
his website:
Usually, if you feel good = good. I feel like absolute shit on anything but a carnivore diet.
