  • The United States Of America has battled with an obesity problem for a long time. Most people don't know how to eat healthy or how to exercise. To put some things in perspective, I decided to follow the average Americans diet for a day!

    I love how he doesn't make fun of the American Diet, but rather offers solutions. It's not our fault that we are manipulated by the food industry to think that cereal is healthy, but it's our fault when we don't do anything about it. I'm not American, but I have also made very poor choices in food when I was younger.

    IÂŽve suffered from an eating disorder for almost my whole life and never had anyone to show me what healthy eating habits are. I went from only eating sugary things to only salad and about 400 kcals a day, which obviously is not healthy at all. Now that I finally moved out and started university I can finally say that I feel the best I ever did before. I started working out and eating healthy and all that without having to restrict. If you want some chocolate, go get some and satisfy your cravings. Food freedom is the best you can experience and makes life so much more worth it :)

      It's hard to eat healthy when you live below poverty line.
      I'm american and I home cook all my meals. It's expensive, and I cook the bare minimum to make it through the week. It seems like on average, per person, you need to spend between $80-$100 a week to eat home cooked meals. $100 per person...when your bills and rent are astronomical and you live off one income.
      So it isn't as simple as just eat healthier, when you want to eat healthy all the time. Our system is set up purposely to keep people sick, we don't even have drinkable water unless you spend thousands on a water filtration/restructuring systems. I eat healthy 95% of the time, it's difficult to afford.

The whole office except for 3 people were slightly to severely overweight. That's over 200 people clueless about nutrition, exercise and bodily health. They would take the 1-floor elevator instead of the stairs. They would drown their coffee in milk and sugar. A colleague also laughingly said we dutch people eat like someone with a eating disorder. Which from her perspective was a reality I guess. Oh man..I didn't have the heart to tell her that the lunch she was having at that moment was nearly enough for a whole day's worth of food.

 sugar/salt additives have become such a normalized thing for people- they can’t stick to a home cooked diet/increase their veggie intake because they think it’s bland. It rly just depends on the recipes you choose to cook but ALSO it goes to show how many people have adapted to eating processed junk. It took some time for me to shift onto a cleaner diet, but eventually you adapt and your brain/body starts to enjoy cleaner food.

    I live in South Korea as a Korean American and my dads coworker was recently diagnosed with cancer at a local hospital and was told the usual guidelines of diet set by the American Cancer Society (emphasis on the AMERICAN) when it came to living with said cancer and during treatment. These were things like avoiding red meats, processed meat, foods high in fat, etc.
    A few days later, the number two specialist of said cancer in South Korea calls and tells him to forget that list because it’s for people who eat red meat on the daily, eat 3,000+ calories a day, and generally eat the average AMERICAN diet. He was told it would kill him because the average South Korean doesn’t get nearly enough calories and protein/fat if they were to follow this on a Korean diet to support their body during chemo and medication.

      @@Caffeine_Addict_2020 it really depends on the level of fat. I would say I am fat but I am still very athletic and studies show that if you are physically active the difference in disease between healthy and fatter people is practically nothing. I'd imagine many of those fat people didnt have the best diets either so an over weight person with a good diet and physical activity is probably just about as healthy as someone skinnier than them. hell maybe even more healthy if they can get more of certain nutrients

    I recently took a 3-4 week from my typical diet which was low carb and 16-18 hour fasting and just ate whatever I felt like, I was going through some hardships in my personal life so I thought I'd give myself a break. I was eating similar food to this, junk and convenience foods for most meals and the change in my mood, fitness, energy levels and weight was absolutely shocking. I was constantly hungry and had insane cravings for sugar. I'll never do it again. Scary to think the vast majority of people live on this stuff. They don't know what they're missing.
    It's definitely not as simple as calories in calories out. A much higher % of the day I would be hungry eating for example 4000 calories but snacking and multiple meals than eating 2500 calories but with a 16-18 hour fasting window.

      Not only that, but also, when you're female, you're not allowed to reply, "I already ate everything today, _so I'm not hungry_ ." Ppl look at you like, you good???
      Folk who don't eat scientifically don't understand that when you eat scientifically, your body adapts. It gets into the patterns, it comes to know what to expect.
      It doesn't actually matter if I'm randomly under my kjs for the day; if I have consumed my _volume_ , then no, I'm not suddenly hungry again now that any given friend is trying to push their forgettable, chain-store pizza under my nose.
      Like, I don't want it, man. I've _eaten_ .
      But a lot of unscientific eaters are so divorced from what true hunger feels like, as anything but an occasional + dramatic event, that they just...do not comprehend.

    2) most Americans work 40-50 hrs a week and you are suppose to get 7-9 hours of sleep. And some people still have to work 2 jobs or more to get by. Plus you may have chores and other shit you got to do. Which is why many of us pay cheap for quick unhealthy food. Time vs health
    3.) Most of us dont have a clue about most health things because they pretty much teach you the food pyramid in 1st grade and expect you to figure the rest out.
    At the end of the day most of just need to get some knowledge and start prioritizing our healthy lives

    North America has single use zoning that puts shops far from homes so you have to drive to get anywhere. Even if your neighborhood has sidewalks you can walk on they’re only for exercise. Walking is not built into our day like it is in most places in Europe and Asia so we get less daily exercise without huge personal effort to exercise.
    Why do we do this? It costs more tax money to build spacious roads and parking for cars than it does to build a compact walkable neighborhood. And we vacation in walkable places - like the faux European towns in Disney theme parks.
