How can you be so clued out as to assume a younger person in a wheelchair or using a cane is doing so due to lifestyle? Have you heard of disabilities, or illnesses, or accidents?

Well the several hundred pounds of extra weight were a clue.

I can't because I have to get up at 7 and get home at 7. Ok, then you get up at 6 AM and run for 20-30 minutes before starting your.

You can make batches of food on Sunday for the week in order to save time, and it'll allow you to find time to workout. Or you can prechop veggies for the week and freeze them.

Get creative people. If you don't prioritize your health, you never will. There's always an excuse for not doing it. Now when will you stop with the excuses and do something about it?

You’re making the grave, grave error of thinking your life is good because you’ve made all the right choices, and other people’s aren’t because they’re doing things wrong. I used to think like that until I had some very bad luck hit.

Average American watching 2.5-6 hours of television a day is a choice.

Every person? Maybe they've always been in a wheelchair.

Okay… I’m not sure I understand why you’re talking about this.

Cut out the 2.5+ hrs of television you’re watching and let me know about that theory. OR do your tv watching while you work out!

If you are middle class or higher, you should not be obese.

Consuming processed foods on a daily basis will cost you a fortune sooner or later.
Start growing some vegetables today and your body will thank you tomorrow.

Oh boo hoo.

I met a Japanese lady who 85 and still working every day. She worked 13 hours a day 7 days a week for 53 years straight and never took a vacation. She delivered milk to customers everyday for the vast majority of her life and never took vacation. She wasn't obese. She never ate trash food in her life and kept moving. Even with insane work hours.

You are a product of toxic American culture. It's not entirely your fault, but toxic American culture also produces a bunch of whiners who never want to take responsibility for anything.

Yikes, is this OP?
What a weird response. You may be fit, but this sort of attitude reveals something unhealthy mentally about you.

Stop being jealous. A well built physique is a status symbol. It reflects you worked hard for it, no money can buy it. You cannot borrow it, you cannot inherit it, you cannot steal it. You cannot hold onto it without constant work. It shows discipline, it shows self respect, it shows patience, work ethic and passion. That is why I do what I do.

I know you don't have the discipline for it. No need to make excuses though.

😅😂🤣

Tell me you know nothing about obesity . . .

Ozempic has proven that the so-called obesity epidemic is just people eating too much. When they simply eat less, the weight magically disappears.

What a simplistic solution you’re giving.
Ozempic and other semuglutides are causing stomach paralysis among certain people. One of the side effects is blindness.
Obviously there are people who are tolerating well.
Good for them.
Being fat is a disease and is hereditary. Yes, there are people who are overeating and putting on weight. There are also those, like me, who eat under 1200 calories and can’t lose weight in the US as most food items are heavily processed and/ or genetically modified.
I’ve been overseas for 8 days, where I eat more, and so far have lost 6 lbs.
In a month I’ll lose no less than 30 lbs. unfortunately I’ll put all of it back on once I’m back even if I eat completely “clean” food.

You are delusional. If you simply ate less in the US you would absolutely lose weight. Keep telling yourself it is the fault of GM food all you want but everyone knows that if you were truly eating healthy foods you would lose weight. This has been demonstrated when people like you are put in controlled settings where you can’t lie about what you are eating.

I’ll take a healthy spirit over a well-built physique any day. You may be physically in shape, but you sound miserable. All that judgment and insecurity must weigh on you after a while. (And yes, putting others down to feel better is insecurity.)

Your scientific sample of one…

The entire country of Japan has an obesity rate of below 6%. USA is approaching 50%.


But keep telling yourself it is due to factors outside of anyone's control. It's clearly due to American lifestyle and food.

I read that in Japan they weigh you at work and you have to register your pregnancy with some local office. It sounds like peoples bodies are highly regulated both by society and the government. Maybe not something we want to emulate.

To be sure, Americans by and large (no pun intended) are shit people and deserving of contempt. Most are stupid and fat. A shocking number believe angels are real, for example, of that Donald Trump was a good president and should have another term.

As if the rest of the world doesn't have health issues and doesn't use drugs that mess with their metabolism and hormonal signals. Oh that's right, they do have those issues as well, yet their people are nowhere near as obese.

When will we finally admit the big part to blame is simply American lifestyles and and unhealthy relationship with food. You don't get a population that is 50% OBESE because they're all using certain medications or have health issues. It's because they eat like trash, have terrible lifestyle habits, and the entire culture of the country is toxic.

I think a lot of people probably have underlying mental health issues that they are medicating with food. Loneliness, a job you hate, a soul sucking commute, no possibility of career advancement, fears for the future, some underlying depression. We are not a happy society and I honestly don’t think the answer is for everyone to wake up even earlier to go to workout boot camp

Causation vs correlation, my friend.
