After high school in America people don't exercise. I was a great size during my high school years, then blew the fukk up after that. I then lost a bunch of weight so I understand certain people. But yes, America is fake. Fat is accepted. It's really clear when you come from Korea to Italy then to here.
Being overweight is normal now, more people are obese than just overweight

You might wanna fall back on eating all that soy
I've cut back on it because it's full of sodium. The fact of the matter is unless you eat nothing but fruits and veggies or you cook all your own food almost from scratch it's pretty difficult to stay under 2300 mgs of sodium a day.
Are you a male? Soy contains lots of estrogen and its advised that men shouldn't consume a lot of it
I'm not even surpised anymore, I honesty think they're putting all this extra stuff (high frutose corn suyrp for one) on purpose to get fat as hell. Pretty much most stuff low to moderately priced (execpt for raw foods) got some shyt in it. Add in a car dependent lifestyle and nikkas bound to blow up like the world trade.

How bout they decrease the prices on shyt that is considered "healthy" then? My family groceries consist of some healthy items but realistically they only last for a week, if at that. Then its all of the junk that is bad for you that is left. It doesn't help that my entire family has zero knowledge of living a healthy lifestyle with what they consume.
We also need to put more effort into educating one another on our health lifestyles. There have been countless times of when I read or heard what certain foods to do you or even how they are made, I stopped eating that certain food. It sucks when certain parents don't have education on foods and just give their children whatever. My uncle has always been overweight, all of his kids were once normal size but picked up eating up his eating habit. I also have a friend that has had a mother whos been in a wheelchair since the day of his birth and their finical situation isn't good neither. Basically since she can't cook meals and they can't buy healthy food to last them an entire month, they eat fast food everyday.

Are whole foods like meat, veggies, and fruits really that expensive?
the policy should be if it comes in a package and not from the deli no buy. It eliminates 75% of what's actually in a grocery store.
Everything in moderation
I have lost 20lbs this year eating Snickers and Bojangles on a regular basis.... but I can prob count the # of meals I dont cook for myself each week on one hand. Lot of people say its a lack of exercise.... I guess, but I don't think adults were really running around playing sports in the 50s-70s anymore than they are now. Maybe a little more but not much.... if anything now with gyms being so prevalent we exercise more now
It all comes down to diet IMO. I dropped most of that weight with pretty much no cardio. People have no idea how much they eat and to a large degree how much they weigh. Just the knowledge and control of those two things would do a ton. U make a daily calorie budget and when u hit it u stop eating. Really simple concept but u need to know that budget and how much u eat to adhere to it.

Exactly, exercise wasn't even an industry until the 80's. We clearly "exercise" more now as a whole. Guess what, exercise also creates hunger..................
Bottom line its four key factors:
Nutrition
Exercise/Movement
Sleep
Stress

Im from california, no its not. :keefnah:
Yep, def those 4 things in that order of importance
People get fat purely by nutrition....... logic would dictate that they could get unfat the same way.
I find that I can exercise and still eat a regular amount of food. It really doesn't change my appetite that much. I tend to exercise in a fasted state where I do it first thing in the morning or on the weekends I usually go about 12 but I never eat my first meal or anything in a day until after the exercise.
Well that's a personal anecdote. Exercising in a fasted state doesn't really have anything to do with my statement.
Yeah that's how it usually works.
