    as someone who can’t be bothered to watch Lost, what are some of the reasons given for him remaining fat?

      He keeps finding food stashes. Finds a food pantry in a bunker (start of season 2). Then a pallet of food dropped by helicopter (mid or late season 2). Then they made it a reoccurring drop delivery even though there hadn’t been reoccurring food drops the whole first season. No one found any of the drops nor saw a helicopter even though it was right by the camp/hatch. But it was apparently happening the whole time.

      It still was never clear who was having the food drops made but maybe dharma initiative. Since they knew Desmond was living in the bunker and the food was supposedly for him.

      Also it’s a pretty good show. The last season was confusing and misunderstood.

      But the rest is solid. Good acting. Interesting characters. Honestly worth watching.

        The opening text image did explicitly say that the writers did come up with explanations.

      I recall something about him finding a case of candy bars in the plane’s wreckage, and hiding them so he could have them all to himself.

        They find an abandoned station full of nonperishable food supplies and he becomes the person in charge of supply rationing.

        Also I think at one point they pull the “I tried, but I just can’t seem to lose the weight” card and kinda give up.

        But most importantly, if he lost a ton of weight those time travel episodes would be tough to track!
