Do you prefer to start overweight?

I find it very hard to maintain weight in this game. With all the constant walking and fighting, the character burns so many calories that the hunger moodle can't keep up. And eating hearty, cooked meals seems to be too healthy, and I am always losing weight!

Does starting with overweight actually make a lot of sense in this game? Or is the whole point of Lard and Butter meant to be an unrealistic way to maintain weight by shoving a whole tub down my throat?

Do yous often take overweight as free points or am I doing something wrong?
