[quote=Anonymous]Americans' ability to rationalize our flaws is truly one of our superpowers. We cherry-pick studies that claim that alcohol is good for you, that being fat is good, etc., etc. The simple truth is that higher BMI leads to (1) far greater risk of developing T2D, HBP, and hyperlipidemia; (2) greater risk of developing cancer; and, (3) greater risk of joint problems which ultimately leads to immobility and a vicious sedentary cycle. Americans eat too much sugar, too many carbs, too much salt, and too many super-savory foods, and we don't walk / exercise enough. A 72 inch-tall man should be eating max 2500 calories per day, mostly vegetables, protein, and some fats, and should be walking at least five miles--preferably getting his heart rate up to 140 at some point, ideally 160-170. People don't want to hear this, but there are no shortcuts.[/quote]
