"Eating salad makes you skinny" is actually a pretty useless attitude for weight loss

I'm not even talking about the fact that fat people put 1000 calories of dressing, bacon and croutons on their salad

In a broad sense, if you want to lose weight, you should focus on what not to eat, not what to eat. It's baffling, but lots and lots of people in this world are stupid enough to think if you eat like poo poo and then add salad on top of it, that's somehow a good thing.

Yes I know, I'm not saying "Eat salad to lose weight" I'm saying "Fatties eat 5kg of crap then claim eating healthy would not help because its genetic"

if i didn't have a good metabolism i would definitely be one of the people complaining about genetics even though I take zero care of myself or my diet

"good metabolism" = "low appetite", really. The differences between people's ability to process food and store fat are very small.

It's common to think "look at that skinny guy who eats Chipotle and 5 Guys all the time, he has such a fast metabolism!", but then if you actually track his calories, you'll realize that one meal at Chipotle is the majority of what he eats in a given day, compared to fat people who are snacking constantly

uhhh no? I eat anywhere from 3,000 - 5,000 calories a day and never go past 200lbs. I don't exercise at all and what I'm eating is the worst possible food.

Maybe something is medically wrong with me which is possible.

Like that chick that lost a crapton of weight and got semi famous selling her amazing new easy diet system.

Then learned the weight loss was caused by her undiagnosed terminal cancer.

Hey protein buddy

all the other kids in college ate rice and pasta when times got hard, but I bought a potato sack of mystery protein off eBay and ate that instead. it's much cheaper and has the bonus effect of suppressing your appetite, so you don't even feel like you are starving for real nutrition.

probably gave me cancer and brain damage, but who cares? cancer is gonna get cured in a decade or two and I don't need my brain anyway since I'm done with school

EXISTENCE IS PAIN😬
There could definitely be a cultural aspect of it. I noticed that cultures where most socialization involves food, and not just a light meal but basically eating constantly for hours on end are more likely to have people that are overweight. They get used to eating constantly and like to cook 'comfort foods'. People can grossly underestimate how much they've eaten when they were grazing on food all day, and growing up in a culture like that a person gets very accustomed to associating socializing with eating. Trying to change up the routine makes them feel hungry/starving all the time and sticking to a better eating routine can be really hard, especially when they continue to be surrounded by people eating the same 'comfort food'.

If you get raised with terrible eating habits changing them as an adult is a lot harder than simply maintaining good eating habits the whole time. And adults that were raised with terrible eating habits will likely pass on these bad habits to their children.

I had 3 pork chops, kumara and a bowl full of mixed veges followed by a dirty great scone and most of a box of fathers day chocolates for dinner last night.

Luckily my thyroid causes me to gym almost daily, bike an hour daily and consider the options when picking food.

There's that Icelandic dude who got shipwrecked and was the only survivor, even after spending hours in freezing water and then crawling over lava rocks in wet clothes in the wind and poo poo. His buddies died in minutes. Turns out he had a rare gene that made him produce a lot of brown fat. Is that the baby fat? Anyway, his fat was mega good at insulating.

HAES is awful. It should be used to provide support for dumb people that become anorexic/bulimic since they have hosed up body images for one reason or another. Instead it gets used for the morbidly obese to say they are healthy.

Yeah my buddy's sister was bulimic -- not fat at all just body dysmorphia

She went to treatment and suddenly wouldn't shut the gently caress up about HAES? Like what the gently caress did they tell her at treatment and why was it "being fat is OK" and not "you're not fat, idiot"

I guess you're saying that's the proper thing to do but IDGI, why tell her being fat is OK instead of trying to fix her hosed perception

I'm guessing because fats won't continue to pay for "treatment" where someone tells them they are gross and can fix it with work but will pay for someone to tell them they are healthy and will go back and pay for the same speech over and over

Actually had to look up HAES. What the gently caress is that?
'Focusing on health and wellbeing rather than weight control'?
What the actual gently caress?
If you want health and wellbeing weight control is like the most important and controllable aspect.

HAES is just short hand for "I have given up on up life but I'm no where near brave enough to actually consider suicide so I tell myself that my wildly out of shape self is just healthy as someone who puts in time to exercise."

They are also so used to felling kinda lovely that they think that's the normal when rest of us don't even feel that same level of bad that when we have the flu.

tangentially related but in the Star Citizen thread their community manager and his wife have ballooned to like 500-600 pounds.

He was hospitalized for life threatening sepsis and in the images on twitter you can see literature for healthy eating and losing weight the hospital gave him, and info on my fitness tracker.

Immediately after being released he posted on twitter about getting delivery cheesecake factory, followed a few days later by angry tweets about how the doctor said he was healthy and he doesn't understand why people keep telling him to lose weight.

followed by a tweet where he was eating a chocolate sauce / oreo and marshmallow cream sandwich the size of a cake.

So yeah, i can definitely see people paying for validation like that, since they will make it up if they have to. An "Official" message of validation probably saves them that little feeling of shame when they are stuffing their face. I can come up with ______ reason to eat an entire cake but if I have a doctor say my lifestyle is healthy I can be reassured in my decision to eat an entire cake.
