[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s the food here in the US.  I do intermittent fasting, employ portion control, pay attention to macros etc and am losing weight at a snails pace (.5 pound a week at best - I am
overweight).  When I went to the Netherlands for a week in March, I lost 3-4 pounds.  I didn’t track calories, ate whatever, and wasn’t any more active than I am here in the US.

I absolutely believe it’s some combination of pesticides and growth hormones that we allow to be used in agriculture.[/quote]

I don’t know.  I think the majority of the problem is letting yourself get overweight in the first place.  If you didn’t wait until you were already overweight to portion control, make smart food choices, exercise, etc.  Most people in the US spend the first few decades of their life not practicing portion control, making healthy food choices, and making effort to staying active- then they end up overweight and are surprised it can’t be easily undone [/quote]

Well. I was pregnant.  This is why I’m overweight.  I’m generally a “normal” weight.

I still stand by my statement.  I really do think the food in the US is to blame. Obviously this is just anecdata but I’ve heard many similar accounts.[/quote]
