I'll set the building on fire
Yesterday morning I turned on the TV and it was some teen kids news show thing. The segment was explaining how to read a nutritional label, and explained that saturated fat is bad and that the vitamins are good and made zero mention of sugar. Made me slightly angry.


Also non-fat person living in america here. It takes effort.

When I first came to America it was for 3 months and I gained about 20 lbs easily just because the giant portions and deliciousness of the food were overwhelming.

Fortunately I don't have a car and I have to walk to the grocery store/restaurants so my laziness usually wins out over my gluttony, I ended up losing all my extra weight and more when I moved here permanently.

The problem isn't in the food, it's in eating for comfort which is a manifestation of depression. If we stopped eating when we weren't hungry then most of us wouldn't never get close to the morbidly obese whales that are becoming the norm in western nations.

but that would mean that lots of people are depressed, and maybe our society was structured in a way that produces mental illness. thats dangerous talk, solving a big problem like that is hard, dont make me think about it :argh:

IMO people need to learn that being hungry isn't a bad thing. You can survive being hungry.

If it's 5pm and you've ingested the appropriate amount of calories for the amount of exercise you've done/will do for the rest of the day... Just don't eat until the next day.

Yeah it can suck and be uncomfortable at first but humans can actually go several weeks without eating. so not eating until breakfast the next day should be easily manageable.

(Of course you need to be paying attention to how much you eat in the first place. )

I'm not talking about starving yourself. I'm just talking about not over eating. Even if you're hungry hours later, just wait till the next day. The body will get used to it after a week or so.

yeah but in other countries I can get a breakfast for 400 calories and be full meanwhile in America unless you meticulously shop and cook for yourself and never eat out it's like 'oh you had 1 plate of food, that was 1500 calories.'

Even if you had a Big Mac for breakfast, it's 2060 kJ/492 calories. You could have McDonalds for 3 meals a day and still come in under 1500 calories a day,but nice try.

If you don't want to cook, then buy Weight Watchers/Lean Cuisine meals from the supermarket. Portion and calorie controlled food is more accessible than ever.

every pound of lard gained, every chin and roll signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world of western capitalist excess is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening heart disease, it is humanity hanging from a cross of bacon.

Most major cities and you'll be fine so long as you aren't a poor or lower middle class. a lot of cities look fat in the statistics but it's almost entirely in the areas where murder rates that rival iraq (eg. southwest side of chicago). Also of course this intersects with race, in your average state minorities tend to be 10-30 % more obese than the average.

stick in the tourist areas and the US will have comparable obesity rates to the rest of the world- which is pretty much steaming towards US obesity rates at full speed anyway.

if you're too poor to buy a car then you're too poor to be too fat to walk.

I find you're either a professional level gym rat in perfect steroid sculpted shape, or a fat lump. There isn't much room for intermediate levels in people's minds.

Like you can't be slightly above average in shape by being active generally and then peak once in a while by focusing on exercise a bit, for fun. People get mad like "you're not as awesome as this guy I know who uses steroids all day" and I'm like "oh, ok uh," and then someone else is like "I hate you because you're not fat like me" and I'm like "well I've been fat before I just exercise now, so I'm not, that's all"

It's like the overall culture isn't fitness and health as fun goals to aim for as a society, in a big happy group, instead it's "gently caress you got mine I'm the best, me!!! Go get fat now I'm better!!"

I think the concept of gyms with machines and treadmills are part of this problem. A lot of people see exercise as a human form of the hamster wheel indoors rather than going outside to have fun doing something active. Plus I hear a lot of American cities are poo poo to walk in and everyone drives everywhere.

Plus it makes exercise into a giant all or nothing time commitment so it's easy and desirable to give up on it. Doing 10 bad push-ups or laying down and lifting up your legs a few times every day is better than going to the gym three times in January.

I started "groove greasin" because i can't stand to do a workout for an hour to 90 minutes without getting bored so now I just stop and grab my weights and bang out a couple sets a few times a day, works pretty well
