Obese and Overweight in NC - "Overweight State" - A WRAL Documentary

- čas přidán 2. 08. 2024
- Fast food fries, sodas and burgers have gotten bigger over the years, and so has North Carolina's obesity problem. Unhealthy food may be cheap but there's a bigger price to pay in the long run. High blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease have shortened lifespans all over the country. Almost one-third of North Carolinian's were obese in 2017, up from 20.9% back in 2000. So, what should we do about our "overweight state"?
The WRALDoc team examines the problem of obesity in North Carolina. This program originally aired June 6, 2007.

They dont have time to cook, but they DO have time for watching tv?? Wtf!! Their priorities are so wrong!
Heri Rod They don't know how to cook (fresh foods)
@zipit flygirl ikr? What's the fuss of washing fruits / vegetables and making them into a nice salad. Perhaps you could also get youself some salami, cheese or bread, but still, it isn't that hard.
@@ronkalkhoven2119 i think now with youtube having lots of cooking channels it's no longer a valid excuse
How long does it take to do scrambled eggs ,they shop so shop for fruit and veg
They could always watch a cooking show.
It was absolutely shocking to hear the NC school official ADMIT that they love money more than they care about the health of the school kids! WOW!
Even today with Covid-19 dangers ad yet many Rep states are like, "We don't care about your kids... Go to on campus school or we will de-fund your asses!" They are pushing the privatization of every public service... services that have been around serving the communities for the last 100 years and shown potential and goodness for communities and the nation as a whole. People underestimate and take for granted of the public services we use daily. Go to third world nations where they don't have public schools and parents have to work five times more to send their kids to schools for better opportunities. Kids in the US take for granted what they have (parents in the US as a whole don't teach their kids the basics, the school does!!!). In other nations, most kids are going around collecting garbage to earn money or work in horrid factories to support themselves and their families. I hope US kids don't take for granted what they have compare to most kids in this world. In comparison, only about 5% of the whole world population have a decent education background. Under 1% has some sort of degree. Then there are percentage of people who actually get to use those degrees and experiences. I blame the monetary-market system for the low quality of life humans are living in today. We could do so much more than this. #ResourceBasedEconomy, #Hydroponics, #Automation, #SocioCyberEngineering, #VenusProject, #JacqueFresco
I barely survived public schools in NC, not to mention my father and sisters gaslighting me by defending them after they had put me with "assistants" who subjected me to repeated physical and emotional cruelty, pressured my parents into making me take toxic big pharma pills from the age of 11 (which caused me to gain weight I didn't lose until my mid-20s), and sided with my bullies every single time I got in a fight. It is not shocking that they care more about money than whether kids actually learn anything they can use in the real world or whether or not the food they feed kids is fit to eat. The low-carb people need to start advocating for better school lunches. This cannot go on. When I was a kid, at least school nurses didn't need to figure out how to use defibrillators.
When I was a kid, my parents only treated us to McDonalds on my and my siblings’ birthday and I used to savour every bite because we weren’t well off. Now that I have my own kids, they know that it’s a treat, and even then, they’d rather Mamma’s home cooked meals over any fast food joint. Forever grateful to my olds 🙌🏽
My mother cooked, but she fell for every diet craze except one that actually worked. She never was obese until she was pregnant with me, and she just never lost that weight. She has been living with diabetes for 20 years. She ignores all my advice regarding cutting carbs, making excuse after excuse after excuse, yet she will gladly fill her house with keto products for me whenever I visit.
We'd only have fastfood when we get good grades for every quarterly exams
Besides eating too much junk food, fried food and drowning everything in gravy, gravy, gravy......I've noticed that Americans wash everything down with either soda or sweet tea. It seems that just plain water is totally ignored. Just substituting soda with water really would be a good start to lose hundreds of calories just in that!
Drown in ranch too! Yes pop is terrible
@@themurraypeeps5795 I just make sure I do coke zero (OR Sprite zero, when available?).
@@scholarlyanalyst7700 That has its own health risks.
@@renmcgee6341 I thought of that. But I think obesity is MUCH worse and is my more immediate concern. Obesity is certain to lower my quality of life and put me in an early grave. Odds are overwhelming coke zero will not do the same.
Water is not healthy either ……if u can’t swim
Far too many studies have come out showing that exercise is good for health but bad as a tool for weight loss. Weight loss HAS to focus on eating healthy food in appropriate quantities.
We have Exercise and eat less to loose weight
Walk for about an hour Everyday
Cook soupy Veggies with little Spice little salt
Start cutting down fast food dosage bit by bit
Enjoy eating fresh fruits,berries
Get involved in growing your fav. veggies in community garden or kitchen garden
Drink sufficient water
McDonalds is NOT cheap. a simple meal is 10 bucks. how is that cheap?? you can make your own meal for about 2-3 dollars at home easily
Exactly. I can make a large pot of beans that lasts all week for a couple of dollars.
How about an additional tax on junk foods, abolish tax on gym memberships, and subsidize farm markets?
Getting the government involved was the problem in the first place. It was the government's adoption of these misguided policies as official food policy that basically tripled the obesity rate.
subsidize the gym and walking (build walking routes and such sidewalks)
NC is very unwalkable and unbikable. Building sidewalks and bike lanes is also a good idea.
@@sm3675 Shame, it's a very beautiful state
How 99% of American obesity documentations start: play fancy music and show a fat person munching a Burger and fries lol
🤣🤣🤣🤮
Many of those burgers have 2500 calories, then, that's almost one pound of fat
That's a DAILY not one meal
its not about losing weight -its about changing from crap fake food to real food
It's most certainly about both for many people.
A calorie is not a calorie - eating excess calories is only part of the problem - what you eat is the bigger problem
Also, try to drink water to ounces
If youre 200 lbs, drink 100 ounces
Even if you don't have time to cook it doesn't mean you have to eat junk while watching tv.
Lol they always give excuses about working and no time to cook but have time to sit and watch tv while eating
Frequency of eating is a big factor too
Non exercise, not going to bed at a decent hour
I am 52 can run 12 miles in 1 hr 53 (sure some people r better )aiming to run marathon under 4 hrs when 60 ,I feel and tbh look fantastic,folks it’s out there grab it ,I was a slightly podgy taxi driver 4 yrs ago ,my life has changed
thats still good. I try to eat mostly unprocessed food and drink water and milk. really feel different with a switch in eating itself. add excersize to that and it helps
If you’re running 12 miles in an hour you should be able to finish a marathon in a little over two hours you’re running a five minute mile.
No mention of Personal RESPONSIBILITY.
If 70% of a country is overweight, then it's a societal problem, not an individual one. Grow up and face reality.
@henry t Kind of like how Trump supporters think everything is the fault of immigrants?
Do you understand addiction and that food manufacturers and chain restaurants create severely addicting foods? You are blessed if you don't have that food addiction. The only way I can stay at the high end of normal weight is to eat whole foods plant based unprocessed no added oil/no added sugar or sweeteners. The minute I deviate from this, I am in the clutches of food addiction and it is very hard for me to become food sober again. Do you also say to alcoholics, "Go on into the bars, personal responsibility... "
i am from europe. few years ago, as i visited the US for the first time, the portions blew me away. Their smallest cola was 500 ml (it would be 150-200 ml in europe). same as the chips. chicken wings. everything basically.
you do realize you don't have to eat everything right?
@@bluepillbetaorbiterkingsim1747 bc wasting food is such a better solution than to make smaller portions right?
I’m American and I always wished they would serve smaller portions and charge less. I’m always having to pay for food that I don’t even want. It’s a rip off.
@@bluepillbetaorbiterkingsim1747do you realise that when something is put in front of you it's very difficult to resist not finishing? An all-you-can-eat buffet makes you want to eat as much as you can because you feel you want your value for money. It's the best recipe for obesity!
It’s not the fat is the carbohydrate
Bs i eat a carb only diet
I've done 3 drive-throughs in the last 50 years. I never understood the appeal.
I don't know what's so appealing in McDonalds. You spend a lot of money, the food doesn't taste good and you become hungry again after 30 minutes.
I've done them daily for the past 5 years... I was depressed and lost... but now that I've completely cut off fast food and unhealthy food and started exercising more... I feel 1000% more happy and actually looking forward to living
I am from Poland, McDonald went to our country 30 years ago. IT was very fashionable to go there at beggining, but food was too expensive, we were poor those years. Anyway I went there once 2 years after opening, I bought burger and Milk shake. Bill made a gap in my BUDGET. I never forget How dissapointed I was with this meal. Burger was much smaller than on fotos, not tasty at all. And Milk shake was a disaster, So sweet and cold as hell. I was a gry I paid So much for this shit. This experience taught me a lot, I never went with my children to any junk restaurant.
Aga Hwr milk shakes are usually cold?!?
@@themurraypeeps5795 it wasnt So obvious for me, it was my first time in Mc Donald. Also Milk shake is not our National beverage, it was unknowm in Poland.
Glad that I have worked ,paid bills etc but at 53 being in shape and trim goes as probably one of my most worthwhile achievements( I’m looking forward to being 60 s three days work and being physically fit)incidentally I love my training ❤️
Having vending machines in schools is criminal. Or at least, it should be.
Back in the 1980s, *Diff'rent Strokes* did an episode about Mr. Drummond trying to get junk food out of the schools and Arnold becoming unpopular with his peers because of it. They showed how serious they were when Coca-Cola bought out the production company.
"...less time for physical activity because of the rigorous academic strain..."
But we're getting dumber and performing worse in academics...🤔 Yes, most teachers are overworked and underpaid and that's horrible... 😢
But we're becoming fatter as we're becoming stupider... So nothing is working
The US educational system is among the worst in the developed world. They are not experiencing "rigorous academic strain".
My BMI is about 29, and fuck, I feel worried about my health even though I can easily cycle over 50 miles and run 5 km three-four times a week. Then I see Americans and feel like I am an Ironman athlete!!
🤔🤔🤔
Interesting....very interesting
amit kumar..don't be prejudiced..there are a lot of fit and slim and healthy americans. All Americans are not fat..and I wish people would stop assuming that..there are fat people in every country on this planet.
Few years back some uk schools tried to serve healthy only meals and there were parents who actually went to the fence at lunch time to pass through unhealthy crap for their little darlings.
Good to know Dr. Westman has evolved. He's into keto now too. This was aired in 2007. A lot has happened since then and folks, even doctors, are beginning to wake up.
Love Keto 💕💕💕💕
That was good to know.
i never understood the krispy kreme race. just plain stupid if you ask me.
Fair play to the man interviewed no bs he just told it like it is
its not all about calories..because not all calories are created equally ..200 calores of donuts vs. 200 calories of vegetables...in the body it's entirely different!
And, the Fat instead dangerous as the carbs
I think the first lady with her husband is pretty. She's the one who said she's tired of being the fattest person in the room.
Looking in from England - we are not that far behind you in the obesity race - and unfortunately catching up fast.
Our NHS has a fat fighting campaign
Eat two or three meals a day - No snacking
Cut out the sugar (it’s highly addictive and much harder than you think)
Realise it’s the bread that makes you fat not the fat.
Watch the vegetable oils - there are no veggies in them, but lots of industrial processed seeds that are not good for you, replace with healthy natural fats.
There is no one diet that is right for everyone, but the fast food diet isn’t right for anyone.
So true, obesity starts in childhood schools need to do more to tackle this problem…
Linking schools with local farms, Community farms. School farms. Kids need to know what food is, how to cook food etc and how to enjoy exercise..
Since starting to lose my lockdown weight gain, I have switched to a more of a healthy body builder diet. Obviously not as many meals and lots of walking, backpack (rack sack) filled with bottles of sand. Treadmill jogs.. exercise bike for High intensity training.. Sledgehammer with my car tyre half buried in my garden. I like to mix up my work outs. Im a completely new man.
Yes, you have DR shaw..who does ksp band surgeries
@@mrwood4557 well, schools TOOK OUT P.E. and have fast food in schools.
Kids used to get lunch pails in school since they brought lunch to school
People used to NOT SNACK
I like this nutritionist. She seems well informed.
3:36 energy in DOES NOT = energy out. 50 doughnut calories is not the same as 50 broccoli calories.
So many different systems contribute to if ones body gets fat.
I don't have many fat cells so if I were to gain weight, my set point is much lighter than a person who's been 30+lbs for 10 years. Out bodies resist change.
Look up dr Fung if you're interested in losing weight or understanding the updated "science" of weight management
Living Well With TJ I’m amazed that still with today’s science concerning insulin resistance, fat in foods /= weight gain but rather simple carbs (sugar, white bread etc), that we still have sites like “the bright side” posting a video just a year ago titled “ how many calories you need to eat to lose weight” and they boast over 600,000 views!
I wish this was obvious but it is not.
It’s what does my body do with those calories rather than counting calories. And why can a skinny person eat horribly but NOT gain weight? It’s the specific metabolic pathways including insulin.
Link to false science video mentioned earlier. czcams.com/video/uL19zPe_mGo/video.html
Asherah 1147 where did you get your info that butter molecules broken down are differently stored as triglycerides than Olive oil?
Also, fat cells split once they’ve reached their capacity.
Lastly, the body isn’t lazy. Please do tell where you’ve got your info about being able to determine stored butter oil vs stored olive oil.
@@kellyjohnson4578 actually....the body is quite lazy. it will always take the path of least resistance, just like water. you see these clearly in how we burn energy. we can either burn glucose (carbohydrates, simple sugars) or we can burn ketones (through ketosis, the process of which break down fat into usable energy called ketones) and the body will ALWAYS choose glucose (that and our brain cant run purely on ketones, it requires glucose) before going to ketones. It'll even break down proteins into glucose before going to ketones.
And it is true that a scientist can tell if your fat cells came from animal fats or plant fats. very interesting stuff.
while all calories are technically the same, the body is not likely to take the very difficult path of taking the broccoli calories and turning them into fat cells over just burning them via thermogenesis. The body would have to go through multiple processes to turn the glucose from broccoli into triglycerides for storage as fat. Whereas fat is already fat and does not need to be converted and can thereby just be stored for later.
I think this doco is quite outdated
I’m a big fan of Jason Fung. The core of his message is « cut out sugar ». That may seem hard at first, but in the end it simplifies your diet choices. Remember , sugar=cravings=more sugar. If you feel hungry, he says, « ride the wave », the hunger will pass. And the bonus is that this all costs less than the fattening diet of fast food and sugary drinks.
ITS really crazy to See how they doc and nutrionist totally ignore sugar and Claim IT would BE the Same to war 2000 Cal of sugar and 2000cal of vegg ... ITS baffling to me ....
considering there isn’t universal healthcare in the US, who pays for the problems caused by these?
The people just know they will die early. People say "how sad. Gone too soon" but they don't seem to connect their eating and sedentary life with the early deaths.
If you are unemployed then the government pays. The US spends more per Capita on public healthcare than Australia. The superobese aren't employable. The low income workers often end up being bankrupt from hospital bills so after that they can consider just going on food stamps and get free medical care.
Sugar and carbs!
Sugar IS carbs
Eating too much of unhealthy food
For me, changing my diet to cut out processed and unhealthy fast foods was the easy part (there are plenty of information sources online to help with diet/nutrition and healthy recipe ideas), the hard part was trying to get more active to burn more calories. I tried forcing myself to go to the gym when I was trying to get fitter and lose weight but I found it too hard to motivate myself as I absolutely hated it. What worked for me was finding types of exercise that I enjoyed and could do regularly (running and cycling) as well as incorporating as much exercise into everyday life like walking to work, cycling to visit friends, taking the stairs instead of the lift etc. I've managed to lose 70lbs so far by doing this (aiming to lose another 40lbs before the end of the year) and I'm entering a half marathon in mid-September too.
Don't forget the added sugars to.... EVERYTHING.
I remember when I had my first burger from a fast food chain- I was 12 years old. I remember it being a treat. I didn't have my first Pizza from a certain chain until I was 15. Good home cooked, nutritious food has always been my preference. Even now, if I 'treat' myself to fast food, I'm often disappointed. Incidentally I don't suffer with a weight problem, and exercise regularly. Junk in, junk out. That's the problem
McDonald's didn't used to be as unsatisfying as it is now, and it's not just because I have tried different foods since I was a kid that we only got access to when I became a teenager. It's because they started cutting corners on the ingredients, trading beef tallow and lard for cheap, inferior seed oils. Of course, when I was a kid, I was eating much smaller portions because my body was much smaller.
Well done to the girls dieting,fed up with fatties whinging about genetics etc it’s you ,there may be genuine folk with metabolic issues etc but guessing the vast majority need to have a healthy lifestyle
sure there is some genetic issue, but it cannot be that bad so one become a fatty whale. There wasn’t genetic issue 40 years ago?
Your scaring me.
My goal is to become obese and die of a massive heart attack and stroke at the age of 35
Fundude..stop saying stupid stuff..bad health is not to be mocked.
The reason, scientifically, for North Carolina obesity, is sweet tea.
And gravy and bread coated fried everything, pecan /banana Creme pie, fatty barbecue, corn bread and fast food everywhere.
In my country, junk food is expensive, and cars are expensive and tvs are expensive. Most obese people are relatively wealthy.
I wonder how many of them stuck to it after filming was over with. Not many, I would be willing to bet.
14:20
Eat half, take the rest home or, share a meal..
That way. You save money and calories
I love watching American videos - I feel so thin
Bob Pfaff 😂
@Asherah 1147 No, british people aren't the most obese. Although american people aren't in the top 10 either.
It's not just calories in calories out, ketogenic diet and fasting. Que doctor berg, Dr mindy peltz and Doctor Jason fung.
Nope. It's literally just calories. You can lose weight eating nothing but fast food and junk like Twinkies. Don't make this harder than it is. Keto and low carb are nice cuz they make lowered calorie intake feel less painful, but honestly the weight comes off regardless. The problem is that the vast majority of people don't accurately count calories, so they've invented this whole magic system to explain why they're not losing weight on "1200 a day, honest!" I've tested CICO many times. It works. Magic doesn't.
Privatizing school lunches was a grave error.
Not all calories are the same. Also, ADD healthy items to your plate and try to eat those first and cut down on the unhealthy stuff by a few tablespoons or by 1/4. Then start taking 5 to 10 minutes to move daily to where you get your heart rate up, increase it weekly or daily by 5 to 10 min. Something is better than nothing. Go to therapy if you're over 50lbs overweight. You don't get to 80 lbs overweight just because you like food, you're covering something up or comforting yourself. There are low to zero joint impact exercise programs, too. No excuses!

The more you move, the more ghrelin, kicks in, which stops appetite
In asia, we used to cook... we dont enjoy take out food, usually fastfood. We only have it for occasion. Our desserts is usually fruits and rice cake..
Fixated on eating, no self control, nothing going for them, low ambition, low expectations of themselves. There.
Landon Barretto 🙌🏻yes all those.
They don't talk about the European and Asian countries that still cook with real foods and teach cooking in the family. I'm afraid many Americans think heating something they bought in the microwave is "cooking".
If you want health you go after it. it's covid-19 quarantine--I still walk, now doing it 2 hours a day because I'm not at work. And if I couldn't walk outside, I'd be going up and down the stairs in our apartment many many times. No excuses if you sit on your bum watching tv!!! that means you have time! At least buy a treadmill and do it while watching tv.
Fat doesn’t spike blood sugars and insulin, carbs do! That’s why people get hungry when their blood sugar crashes!
Yep!! These people are not helped by a medical system that tells them fat in = fat on your body.
As I left school my priority was to keep weight in check and still is along with covering myself financially,incredible schools still offer junk,it will effect future economies certainly in uk when the nhs covers fatties
Calories in versus calories out is a false premise.
The ‚food‘ shown at the beginning looks so gross!
Fourteenth fastest state...try living here in Louisiana where we are in a close race with Mississippi for the ignominious honor of being the fattest.
just cut out the soda or just sugar all together
We pick up take out once a week only as our treat. Nothing fancy. We enjoy the all day breakfast at McDonalds. Key is just not to over do it. We have an egg McMuffin, a medium fries and a large coffee. Nothing wrong eating at a fast food restaurant but it has to be in moderation and be a treat. Do not drink soda.
Eh its better to not either there at all. I cook all my meals
The quality of fast food is very low. They sell foods that are chemically altered to be uniform, durable and fast cooking. Make your "egg McMuffin" at home using high quality free range natural egg, slice of real cheese, and quality Canadian bacon and you will see a huge taste difference. It will also keep you fuller longer.
Moe wilson..a lot of people don't know what moderation is..though. fast food companies design fast food to be eaten in huge amounts one bite is too many and more than two is not enough. One might have to try to avoid fast food and make substitutions..that is not easy but choices must be made if one wants to live longer.
It is not just too much food and not enough exercise. It's the KIND of foods they're eating. If you stop fast food, stop soda & convenience/processed food you will be amazed at the result. And stop eating all the damn time! And there was NEVER a soda machine in my school, that's crazy. We had water fountains. With what is known about the detriment to health of sugary sodas, you'd think this wouldn't even be an issue.
....grazing at the “Corral “ is hazardous 🤺
Nabs - what a funny word.
I tried the Krispy Kreme Challenge - I was marathon training and thought I had a shot. Gosh no. That crap is hard! But the 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩 were good haha
Too much fast food and processed shit
veggies and fiber,get rid of all that processed sugary, salty shit
Two words. WAFFLE HOUSE. 😂😂
Anytime I see a Golden Corral, I instantly laugh because of the recurring Rifftrax joke is in my head. ROFL
That was 2007 !
Fair play to the girls they have taken action
13:04 Calories mean nothing if you do not know where they come from. Counting calories is one of the poorest ways to maintain a healthy weight. It was a failed experiment and we need to move on to more advanced methods to stay fit and healthy
Dude,put me in a hospital and give me water and vitamins!I want to lose weight.
i be starving just water and vitamins
You can't even upload in a resolution that's as good as SD broadcast TV?
out dated nutrition information
They need something to do like get a job instead of think about food
watching this while eating a cookie bar :)
Dr Westman is the King of Keto Low Carb lifestyle from Duke University keep your carb intake at 20 grams a day and watch your health improve K.I.S Keep it simple
This is such an old video so I’m sure it’s way worse now. My daughter who is 15 thinks she is skinny because all the other kids are overweight or obese. It’s sickening when I go pick her up from school and most of the kids a just plain fat!! She doesn’t even like me coming to school because I’m so muscular and lean. Says it embarrassing to her because I don’t look like other dads. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
🙄 This is bragging. How does her being skinny have anything to do with overweight people?
Because the video is about how everyone is over weight. That how pal. 🤣🤣.
@@mikehinson5935 🤦🏿♀️OK, Mr. Muscular. I see that it's not just your gut that has nothing in it.
Mike Hinson ..she should be proud to have a fit dad instead of a porker...you will live longer and eventually she will be glad of it.
That’s kind of strange, for your daughter to be embarrassed. My dad always took care of himself and was healthier than the other dads, and I was always proud of him for it.
“It’s hard to watch your friends eat fries.” 😳😕
It is hard to be the only one eating differently from the entire group!
Here is the deal: To get healthy you MUST adopt a new philosophy i.e a new way of looking at and living life! By going Plant Based you step into a healthy, vibrant and exciting way to eat & live. There is an entire world of people who will welcome you with open arms and root for your success. You will cultivate a sense of respect & honor for your body and the planet. You can use the carrot & the stick to influence your actions: by watching how animals are terrorized and abused, you will NEVER look at meat or milk the same way. BY watching health videos\documentaries, you will become inspired to do more and drive forward in your health journey. Bottom line: trying to go healthy half way, does not work! You MUST go all in! You have to turn your life around but you need a new philosophy and a support group because seldom can you do this alone.Vegan groups such as the Vegan Challenge, will help you. I am rooting for you! You can do this! Start now, all it takes is a decision!
Carbs (especially sugar) are the culprit
6', 165#, BMI of 22.5, I'm gonna reward myself with a deluxe pizza. Thank you.
Anyone notice that the documentary itself makes you want to go buy a burger, fries or something. Maybe some of these documentaries should tone down the amount of imagery and the confessions of people who say a good ole hamburger, etc... It's like explaining how bad it's for our health while making it look so good. 😏
Tbh… the narrative of this dated documentary, is a prime example of the actual two issues; Food is for nourishment, not for entertainment and as a cure for boredom, and people have lost/forgotten what real food and common sense eating is. The latter point deserves some added comment here, while the former goes fairly well just with observation… A clear sign that people have forgotten what proper food is, is that they resort to prepared and partially prepared meals when spending their money, yet another is that the “limited defined number of meals per day”, is for a lot of people also a foreign concept. Yet another sign is the lack of fresh and varied ingredients (not prepared or half prepared) available in any typical supermarket or market… So following the narrative of this documentary, which is at the heart of the problem - Losing sight of what proper food is, leads people to measure their food-choices by calories, fat, sugar, while no truly healthy food can be chosen by any one factor, yet alone those mentioned. So, it’s another example of “If you can’t measure what matters, then make whatever you can measure matter”… But this has nothing to do with proper food or food culture, not in the slightest!
For persons who have anorexia, weight restoral=punishment! Recovery=fat!
I love pepperoni 🍕.
This is outdated. The human body is more complicated than "calories in/calories out." The laws of thermodynamics don't apply to the body. Exercise will help you be healthier but doesn't impact your weight much. (See Dr. Jason Fung's book, "The Obesity Code." He and other intermittent fasting proponents have lectures on CZcams explaining why intermittent fasting works.)
That said, you can still pig out and gain weight like I did over the holidays even though I faithfully adhered to my IF schedule.
Best food places in NC! 🤪🤪🧡 Order
From Olive garden! Thx! 😏😏
Read "Metabolic" by Dr. Lustig -
Calorie issue is over rated in this documentary. This sends wrong message about the true cause of overweight or shall I say.... overfat
High Carbs and sugars are worse than high calorie.
You mean, high fats..and STAY AWAY from seed oils
Calling them "vegetable " is a misnomer
That nutritionist is 50% wrong. It is not all about calories and counting them. What matters is the rtpe of food that is eaten. 85gms of fat is needed if it healthy fats. With little to no carbs. And we know Monica was taking breaks off that treadmill to not ruin her makeup. Seriously
I cant take the crappy backgound noise music.
What about the people who love being fat?
JW nobody loves being fat..these are liars if they say they do..they have given up..and I bet they would trade traces with a skinny person in a heartbeat.
Welfare makes this possible.
This is NOT a matter of diet and exercise. This is all about the food, which is pure poison. STOP BLAMING THE VICTIMS!
What do we do???? IT'S SO EASY!! STOP EATING CARBOHYDRATES!! and eat good fats. Hello! We've known this since the 70s.
outdated science
Especially when they say. Butter is worse than margarine
counting calories doesn't work! it was a stupid idea! LMAO!
why? it is easy.. if you take less calories than you burn, you lose weight. there.
the human body does not burn anything(so the term "burn" is wrong, the human body is not a furnace) the body oxidizes body fat. the body absorbs the type foods you eat and if you eat a species specific diet you will not get fat or under nourished.
WTF LOL
Another bad cas of metabolic disease.
Great video ...fat/10

Go keto
Went keto 5 years ago with the partnership of my endocrinologist. Other than 2020 and 2021 dealing with cancer technically I have gone from 352 lbs to 183 lbs so far in 3 years. It is slower now due to hypothyroidism, past menopause with hysterectomy and continued hormone therapy. But still working on it. I am not doing this only for weight loss. Doing it to control health issues...they won't disappear, just trying to manage it a lot better.
