re: Obesity rates in the US have tripled in just one generation

Too much fast food and too many sodas, not enough exercise.

And, yes, fit Americans are currently outliers

Is it wrong now when i watch social media videos where there are large crowds that i start comparing how many overweight people there are to not overweight people? The answer especially in the U.S. is usually more overweight people.

sat fat. Eat lean proteins. Skip rice and potatoes. 4. Lack of fruits and vegetables. Get some fiber dammit.

Some generally bad advice here, other than the potato comment.

It's the type of food we eat, along with the frequency in which we eat it.

You can eat shitty food, but you need to fast with it. I've lost weight doing the one meal a day routine. When I get to eat I can have whatever I want.

The other benefit is my acid re flux went away when I fasted.

I know I still should eat better quality food, but the method of fasting works in regards to weight loss/sustainability.

So does burning a few hundred extra calories a day.

And it doesn't have to be a formal exercise regimen. Buy a push mower, paint your shed, change your own oil.

Yep, play with kids, play a sport, hike, swim, run...trim the sidewalk.

I rarely eat more than once a day, and never do multiple meals during the week. Coffee in the morning and a decent meal at dinner time

no soft drinks but a good bit of beer, no processed or pre-assembled food, just fresh ingredients and I eat whatever of that I want. When we go out to eat I’ll order whatever looks good. I weigh the same at 56 that I did at 26.

obesity is 100% self inflicted and ill not be convinced otherwise. I stopped in to a gas station in the LP to grab beer the other day, one of those with the krispy krunchy chicken counters (great chicken no doubt). At a table near the door there where two morbid fatasses, husband and wife each well over 300, shoveling fried food into their maws. And shoveling is not hyperbole...both cheeks full and ranch sauce all over their faces. It was disgusting, they are disgusting, and I have no sympathy for them. I want fat people away from me and I’ll move out of this shithole as soon as I can.

Fat people...you don’t have to live this way. Life is immeasurably better when you are not obese and that’s an indisputable fact

People today have no self-control or ability to regulate their desires. Zero conflict resolution. No feeling of shame in anything they do.

and no willpower to change that

The AMA has adopted a rabidly anti-masculine agenda and it is clearly reflected in their weight guidelines for height and age. By their standards every linebacker in the NFL and a fair number of running backs are obese. That's not to say that Americans aren't fat and getting fatter or to deny that it is a serious problem, just that these standards are pure bullshite. In my bare feet I'm just under 6'2 and today I weigh 232 and wear size 36 jeans. Which is exactly on the nose for obesity. I'd put my ideal weight at just under 220. They put it at 168. At 190 I look I'm on drugs, (trust me, I've done the research). At 168 I'd look like I've been vacationing at Bergen-Belsen.

CLIFFS: "Fatness" is 100% self-inflicted and a major health problem in this country but "obesity" in modern usage has become as empty and meaningless a term as "racism". frick the radicalized AMA on this and every other issue.
