- čas přidán 13. 09. 2021
- Never in all its history has America been so obese. With 160 million Americans severely overweight, in this documentary explore increasingly aggressive treatments as well as the counter-trend of body positivity and 'Miss Plus' beauty pageants.
Despite repeated government efforts to encourage the population to slim down, the obesity rates just keep climbing.
Faced with this staggering figure, healthcare professionals are trying to find new, more efficient and more aggressive treatments for this illness… We meet Casey, one of the few people whose weight has become a matter of life and death, and travel to Arizona to see an innovative new academy helping young girls learn healthy habits and slim down.
Despite the rising obesity crisis, a new movement is shaking up the United States: body positivity. Through lucrative social media accounts, popular magazine covers and even successful ‘Miss Plus’ beauty pageants, overweight Americans are learning to flaunt their curves and love themselves no matter their size.

You can’t just blame fast food restaurants, we need to take personal responsibility sometimes
Well said. Where is the personal responsibility these days? This is a choice.
I think that you can blame the food industry if nearly all nation has weight problems
Healthy food is expensive and highly religious and conservative areas gut education. Dont blame the victims - they were set up to fail
Everything in moderation…
Morbidly obese people need to take care of themselves all the time, if they want to live a decent life, without giving in to junk food.
If you're having to bind your belly up to do the pageant, then you're not really that 'proud' of being obese. These people are deluded.
Not for nothing, no woman, regardless of size, in a beauty pageant isn't bound up, lifted, tanned, etc. What it is to be performatively pretty is an entirely different documentary.
@@alexiswsmbuermann1782 But they're not gathering up pounds of loose fat and stuffing it into a casing.
They are just living a fantasy,ironically instead of trying to loose weight,these stupid obese pageants enables obesity to get hold on people,instead of trying to cure it,they just spread it,how stupid is that?.
@@junpinedajr.8699 Yeah and there is no reason to be proud of being morbidly obese. You are living in a body that is slowly dying. I have been anorexic and there is no need to be proud of a deadly skinny body either. An anorexic body will show you that it has reached its limits before a morbidly obese will but you will get there. I see myself in these people, I have been there (telling everyone and myself that I was fine, happy, healthy, could do everything bla bla bla. This is what your addiction is telling you).
Was gonna say the same thing. I thought they will embrace the jiggle, its part of being “plus”.
Anyone else watch stuff like this to make sure they never go down this path? I used to be very unhealthy and eat junk upon junk until earlier this year, and Ive lost most of my fat completely!
Yea I’ve lost two stone
yes I loved my junk food and eating it way too late (.besides drinking a good few vodka&energy mixers as well ) was a recipe for disaster. my Cholesterol was way too high& blood pressure and Triglycerides . had a heart attack 28th october & stent put in. frightened me like hell. only have a takeaway now and again and go for the better options like chicken shish &lots salad. Chinese (my fav. I have a mushroom or chicken omelette .just a few chips. not a heaped platefull like I used to eat. lost 2 stone so far. will never eat like I used to before . (also gave up alcohol)
Also “prison time” 😂😂😂😂
Yeah this is like my turn off when I crave junk foods! During pandemic I've been gaining weight but when I heard classes were gonna start again, I gathered my courage and disciplined myself at 15 yrs old. I'm 16 now and still trying my best to maintain being healthy, ANYWAYS CONGRATS!
same,I like watching this type of documentary when I was eager to eat junk food
Being a reformed heavy person I used to blame and blame everyone, anyone, anything other than my bad habits. Well when I came fac3 to face with my bad numbers and learned I’m type 2 diabetic I knew I needed to make changes. I lost 100lbs and couldn’t feel better and I’m loving it.
Good job!
Great job friend, wishing you health and wellness!
Ultimately we have to solve our own problems, but that does NOT mean we are solely to blame for having the problems in the first place.
Congrats!!!!
So pleased for you.
Body positivity is not a "solution" it is actually the opposite. Telling obese people to "you are great as you are" is the same as telling an alchoholic to just keep drinking and you are as good as you are. Both are addictions and both are extremely unhealthy. How deluded this people have to be not to see that..
Agreed.
"Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time." Revelation 12:12! KJV
Moderation is needed to prepare to meet KING JESUS! HE is RETURNING SOON! ALLELUIA! 💞🙏🙌
Same as "oh yeah keep smoking,you losing weight and you looking good because of it". Then afterwards died from lungs and throat cancer.
Agree they just use the word body positivity to brainwash people. This is why the nation is obese.
What people don't understand is that not all fat people are fat because they eat a lot. You can be fat because your thyroid is fucked or something is not right in your body. Slow metabolism jesus you name it theres so many reasons. Im pretty overweight but I eat fuck all during day and cook every dinner. I have a bad thyroid and everything I eat turns to fat. I hate the way I look already only 4 years ago I had a great body. I would be grateful to hear once in a while I looked okay, I would never hear these words then go eat a bag of cheetos. So telling people they look like a bag of shit when it may not be their fault at all is just disgusting and needs to end. Everyone with half a brain realizes being obese is not healthy but Im a healthy girl and Im chubby, many of these other chunky ladies are healthy too and eat fine so let them live their lives fucking hell. We got girls being boys and boys being girls let a woman feel alright for once.
Only in America where being seriously unhealthy is celebrated. Body positivity shouldn’t mean that they just give up on being healthy.
South Korea and other Asian countries value being super thin so much they are not healthy either. The pressure is unreal. Stress and suicide rates at an all time high. It goes both ways.
@@ruthwhite3938 it's not proportionally equal though. The life expectancy of the average Korean, Japanese is like 10 years longer than America. Secondly, suicide is comparable between the u.s and Asian countries, big reason why is that in America, guns are effective at finishing the jobs. It's sad but true, and lastly, asians don't have the fetynl, or opioid death. So yes, there are two extreme ends of body perception, but one clearly have worst outcomes than the other. It's like asking to choose between two evil things and choosing to have a more obese nation will always lead to worst outcome than choosing to have an extremely thin nation.
@@henrytep8884 Lie expectancy in US is 80 and South Korea is 83, it is 3 years not 10
And the sad thing is that they're exporting this ideology to some other countries. Here in Brazil the number of increasing body positivity influencers is alarming but the good part is that fast food here is so fucking expensive so the damage isn't that "profound"
@@henrytep8884 ...as they said five years ago in the US, going to the polls to vote to elect the next president was like having to choose between cancer and a heart attack.
Many American men are choosing thin Asian women, but not many Asian men are choosing overweight American women.
Fascinating documentary. I live in Africa where malnutrition is a significant social problem - it is hard to imagine the levels of excess on display here. At a local soup kitchen, people walk long distances for a free daily meal: a peanut butter sandwich, a banana and cup of home made vegetable soup.
Und trotzdem vermehren sich dort die Menschen überproportional.
@@charlieweiss8753And the reason for that is plain obvious: poverty.
@@charlieweiss8753 you can thank the catholic church for that, they went to africa and told the people there birth control was evil. now the same people will blame them for having so many kids
The body positivity movement lost its meaning. We shouldn't celebrate obesity nor shame it, we should have empathy to obese people while also help them and encouraging them to do better.
Preach 🙌
Tell that to Lizzo.
Why should I feel empathy towards people who don’t care about their health or the way they look? If they don’t care, why should I? At 71, I weigh 120 at 5’5, the same as I weighed in college. It’s no accident. I eat healthy, read the labels of everything I buy, don’t eat fast food or junk. I love the way healthy food makes me look and feel. I have no health issues due to my weight. I feel empathy towards those who are struggling with health issues that are no fault of their own.
Agree!!
@@TheBahamian69 😂😂😂😂😂😂
As an older obese man I can say "Body Positivity" is the cruelest thing I have ever heard of. No same person should want to be fat.
Hey man, I hope you didnt give up yet. I dont know if you want to hear it, but for me the youtube channel: "What I've learned today" helped me understand how the body works. I wish you best of luck.
I think you hit the nail on the head, body positive people are usually trying to shut off these voices in our heads that try to tell us something is wrong or prevent bullies from getting to them. I am overweight myself, not obese but far from ideal, and when I look at myself I see the places I can improve and make the effort to do it, I couldnt imagine being even bigger and thinking I am actually good looking or people should aspire to be like me.
Its literally telling people it is ok to eat yourself to death, and to be skinny is because the society is bullying you…. Wtf
@@ApplePotato I know really.
I always assume Body positivity term was created for people that are actually anatomically different than general human body types, skin colour, those thats more thicc / dwarfism(?) / bulkier/ lanky type or in some cases born with missing body parts...Also, for those that dress different from their determined gender.
Didnt know when it actually become something that justify being unhealthily obese as something good.... o_o"
for the record, I wont be considered obese in US standard, but since im in asia and im taller n bigger than the average female here due to bone mass, I'm categorized as the fatter/bulkier type. Asian ideal female weight is for the majority of tinier build body lol~
That Heart Attack Grill is the most Only in America thing I've ever seen. I keep thinking "this can't get any more surreal" but then it did. The scale. The big screen. The spanking.
The heart attack grill is actually a pretty interesting topic on it's own, there's other TV coverage of it on youtube. The owner is completely transparent and blunt about feeding his customers poison that will killl them, he makes no attempt to sugarcoat it, yet people still continue to go there to eat. I honestly can't blame the owner.
@@pulgasari Personally, I believe that as long as you are selling to adults and as long as you are trasnparent and honest about your products, it is morally justifiable to sell a harmfull and addictive substance. For example; I used to smoke cigarettes for 5 years, and I don't believe the employees who sold me the cigarettes were accounteable for that addiction, since I am responsible for my own decisions. I don't see why it would be any different with fast food addiction.
@@pulgasari I'm pretty sure he's being truthful and at the same time sarcastic as he's doing it, its up to the customer how they'll take things.
@@pulgasari the crazy thing is, he used to run health and fitness centers, and changed gears when many people were not interested in healthy living. In his mind, if people want to kill themselves with fast food anyway, may as well have fun and make money off it.
@@pulgasari im not saying he necessarily should get a pass, I just think it is a pretty interesting back story. Either way, even if he shut his place down tomorrow, people make their own decisions to eat like this and will seek it out elsewhere. I think most people go to a restaurant like that for fun as a once in a life time experience, not to live that way everyday. We all have our trauma and we have to find healthier ways to cope. We have to take responsibility for what we put in our mouths. No one is forcing anyone to eat fast food. Something existing doesn't mean you have to go for it.
In Spain, although obesity is not an epidemic like in the United States, the authorities are considering forcing primary care doctors to report cases of childhood obesity, when parents do not take measures to prevent it. It would be a procedure similar to when a case of abuse, lack of care, abandonment, drug use, etc. is discovered in a minor, in these cases, in addition to the criminal sanction to the parents, with or without imprisonment, parental rights are withdrawn
Good for Spain 👍 I lost weigh in one of my trips to Spain. On my second trip I was 10 lbs overweight. After less than 2 weeks I was back to my desired weight, just from all the walking I did. I left my clothing in the hotel room. I was so happy!
God that's f*cking horrible.
@@karnubawax…how is that horrible? It’s amazing.
My grandson has a very good appetite and cries when he is hungry and can't eat. Maybe dr needs to prescribe medicine to make him loose his appetite.
@@simeonapajarillo6499 are you implying that your grandson is obese because of how big his appetite is?
Humility and pride is the difference between the two sides. One desires to get healed, the other decides to celebrate themselves.
well said
I was a model when I was young. Then brain cancer and hypothyroidism caused me to become obese. I have since lost 150 pounds. Besides the abrupt change in acceptance of my changing sizes, I have found that losing the weight helped me learn to walk again and kept of many of the diseases of aging. I’m now 74 and in better health than most. I’ll keep my small size, but the choice is yours.
Blessings
God bless you I’m really glad you recovered from cancer and happy with yourself!
Amazing!!!!
Congratulations on your weight loss, thyroid stuff is the worst (and cancer isn't better, lol).
You're right, though. Our bodies break down over time as we age and if we want to be mobile and capable then we need to keep our weight within healthy ranges. We know excess weight can lead to a number of health issues and those things make being older awful...imagine being 60 and carting around hundreds of pounds. I'm 33 and my knee hurts as it is, I couldn't live that way.
You are a true soldier♡ lot's of love and bless 2u x
YES beloved! I'm one that people call skinny, and it's GOD who's giving us BLESSINGS! I'm 74 TOO! It's 2022, and THIS YEAR at CHRISTMAS, I'll have been in LOVE with JESUS 50 YEARS! GLORY! The LORD SAVED me when I was atheist in 1972, and filled me with the HOLY GHOST, in the name of JESUS, on CHRISTMAS EVE! I woke up CHRISTMAS MORNING, BORN AGAIN! HALLELUJAH! 🙏🎄🙏💞
PAPA GOD has given me PERFECT health and strength ALL THESE YEARS! And I'm CAREFUL to PRAISE HIM for it! AMEN! May your NEW YEAR be BLESSED! In JESUS' name! 🙏💃💞
Body positive movement is “accepting” of people, until one of their members loses weight and gets shamed for it
Agreed.
It's also unbelievable that saying "your obesity causes plenty of health issues" is considered as body shaming.
These people are a drain on society
👍👍👍
And celebrating when someone dies
The program for the teen girls is ingenious. Those girls were learning how to have a healthy relationship with food. Not only that but they were learning so many life skills at such an impressionable age. That program is worth every penny.
This documentary is just excellent. The amount of hype for the pagent instilled and then the reveal of it is stellar and speaks for itself. There are like 35 people in a hotel event room... unbelievable. I really have loved these documentaries. Thank you for doing these. It helps me keep my mind on the right track. I will continue to watch them with an open and calm mind, ready to reflect on my own life and attitudes.
Hats off to the teenager girls in the 'camp' , they are really putting in the effort and it is inspiring to see how proud and happy they are of their accomplishments.
Tbh, it's a good start in a direction. But counting calories and macro is really bad especially for kid's. You will never know just too eat normal with it. Too me it's completely stupid and especially with fitness trackers. Everything becomes a number.....
@Mega Lenny good fat is necessary if you want a healthy body. Olive oil, avocado etc
So much miss information at this “CAMP”.
It’s true that you shouldn’t eat fast food. But salt , healthy fat, low carb and high protein meals are important. Cutting out sugar and corn based cereal and any cereal to be clear. And eating whole foods real meat, fish, eggs and vegetables.
And staying away from seed oils (what they call vegetable oil)
@@e.d.3349 And the nutritionist there had knowledge that is like 30 years old... when the girl was like, i will get orange and feel six, i was like, bruh, orange is straight up just super fast sugar and thats it, if she ate one egg with slice of cheese that would make her more full and it would also be less shitty nutrition...
Most of these girls will fail, because what should be stressed is low carb, low sugar diet.
The heart attack grill concept is one of the most shocking, stomach churning things I’ve seen in my life
Edit: Some grown adults in the replies trying to justify this. Yes, I get that you can choose where you eat at, that doesn’t change the fact that this particular restaurant rewards those who are morbidly obese with eating for free. No wonder obesity is such a rampant issue in the US.
Clever business move though, they're undercutting the big fast food joints by doing what they couldn't get away with
It's a good idea
Agreed. And tragically, half the people filmed in that restaurant will probably be dead of heart disease or diabetes 10 years from now. What a messed up concept.
I haven't eaten a burger in months and tbh I really wanna try one just once. Not all the other stuff, but just the burger.
@@somerandomdude3476 No I get that. Like just once for the camp/craziness of it
That Heart Attack restaurant is actually terrifyingly dystopian.
I will say I know this struggle. I was overweight/ obese from the ages of 6-26 years old. At my highest weight so was 412lbs. I decided to have gastric sleeve 4 years ago and I’ve never been happier! I’m now around 203lbs.
203??? 😂
@@sakispsinakisshe’s been obese her entire life. She’ll never be skinny, her current weight is great!
@@sakispsinakis203 isn’t bad tho…not everyone wants to be a stick
@@lissalissa1603 It’s not what everyone wants to be…there are formulas that give where you stand. 203 is obese anyway you look at it and causes all kinds of issues. A simple search on Google can enlighten you. Of course if someone is going to the gym everyday, his body has little fat, he eats right, etc. then his health will be much better than someone same weight eating crap all day..
The body positivity movement should have been not basing your self love on your weight, but loving your body at whatever stage it's in and wanting it to function at it's best. Now it's about denying the dangers of being obese and saying your doctor is fat shaming you when they say you're at risk for diabetes.
I think that's important to separate - body positivity imo is a perfectly nice thing to instill in people, especially in a society with stupid beauty standards or where people get obsessed with calories and instagram (full of influencers with filters etc.)
Body positivity is absolutely toxic when you start glorfying obesity and don't adress psychogical issues that lead to overeating and whatnot, don't treat food addiction as the addiction it is etc.
Having what I taught for a decade to (especially) young girls about how it's ok to not be model-thin or how dangerous eating disorders because of body dysmorphia can become be perverted into "you're obese and your body is literally dying, celebrate it" honestly makes me sick, cuz just the same brainwashing I fought to prevent as a social worker but on the opposite i... ugh.
@@youtube-kit9450
WOW... just WOW (about this documentary).
This documentary started sensibly, talking about persons who were trying to improve their health by losing (harmful) excessive body-mass... and then ended up singing paeans to the obesity-enabling so-called body-positivity movement!
Body positivity is a scam. Healthy is the opposite of what the movement is promoting. Not being willing to make better choices should not be celebrated nor should hyper-sensitivity to any judgement be the catalyst for ‘canceling’ others. You want to eat yourself into an early grave? Support each other, but don’t ask greater society to back you up.
I don't understand how most men can take on body shaming and go to the gym and try to do something about it and excel and go above and beyond and become something. But women for some reason oh please don't hurt me, I'm so offended. Are you serious, when will the stop?
There is nothing positive about living in a body that is so heavy, you have no quality of life.
That pretty waiter is such a good mom, prioritizing the health of her family.
Being constantly exposed to what surmounts as the epitome pf gluttony does that. It's a sobering thing
She's working for a disgusting business
@@Strange9952 Maybe she doesn't have much of a choice. Don't be so judgey.
Giving a kale smoothy to a one year old is child abuse to the other extreme. Fast food is poisonous because of the colas baked goods fried in seed oil gmo pesticide potatoes and cornfed animals served up. That little baby will rebel big time or get gall stones.
She's gorgeous! 👌🏻☺️😍
Beginning of this year , I weighed 182 lbs. I’m 68 yrs , 5 ft tall. That was a lot on my short frame. My A1c was 11, my B/P was in orbit. I was constantly tired and I hurt all over. My doctor gave me told me I was in big trouble. I wasn’t scared of dying. I was scared of becoming a living stroke victim. Today my wt. is 110, A1c 5.5, B/p normal. I walked it off. Now I’m actually walk / running 5K s. I feel alive again. Was it hard ? Yes, at times. But, I’m so happy now. It was so worth it. It can be done.
good on you & hope your doing well .
@@rosiew1952 Yes, thank you. Wt. holding steady at 110. Still walking/running. Life is good. Hope the world is treating you well.
Excellent job!
That grill restaurant is shocking , I felt obese after watching this 😢
Having to pay for two seats if you take up two seats is not injustice. It is paying for the space you take up.
Just because there is fast food in your area, doesn't mean you have to eat it
Exactly, I live in germany and there are hundreds of fast food places in my city but I never eat there. The only fast food I have once a month is a falafel wrap. I do love to eat at restaurants though with healthier and vegan options. Also love mediterranian food
Just because there’s a meth in the area doesn’t mean you have to do that either. It’s addiction.
Right. I sure don't. In fact, over the past five years, many fast food restaurants have gone out of business in Detroit. Maybe Americans are starting to wake up to the dangers of eating fast foods.
@@andrewlillys3486 exactly ✨
@@lvteachme973 i Hope so. Also because I never really ate fastfood because my parents wouldn't let me, I CANNOT stomach it. It tastes like crap and I feel really sluggish and sick after eating it.

When I first went to US, I was astounded how people eat. A single serving in restaurants can feed up to 3 people in my country. And I will never get used to seeing obese people everywhere it's scary.
It's a sad consequence of being such a wealthy nation. Here in New Zealand, we're also very obese. Over 30% of people suffer from obesity.
@@johnkyle2205 Mexico surpass the U.S. in obesity rates.
Low-calorie density is the key to healthy eating for us that are used to eating a lot, so you stretch your stomach and feel thoroughly satiated with the fiber and water rich foods. Even without significant exercise, I’m down almost 60 lbs.
Obesity isn’t just in the wealthy countries anymore, most of the people who are obese are from the poor communities. As fast food is cheap, it’s becoming a world wide problem.
I have often heard that about america
I'm 51 and remember my friend - the "fat kid" in my town during childhood. He was about 10-15 lbs overweight and got picked on for it. He played sports and did everything the rest of us did but couldn't shake the weight. Now he wouldn't even be considered fat. The size of children now is more than alarming. It's criminal. Parents are literally kiilling their children instead of saying NO.
The parents cannot be blamed. All the foods sold in US are pre-designed and tested on thousands of people to be addictive. This is not the situation in Europe. They have strict laws there.
Usually parents have no idea what is healthy and what is not. They simply feed children what they eat themself.
Because the government told women they need careers so the government raises your kids and feeds them
In the 50 students in my grade in elementary school, there were 2 “fat” kids. They also wouldn’t be considered fat today. Both were from families of divorce with absent fathers. That wasn’t typical then, but it certainly is now. It’s not just about food or “bad parenting”; families need more support and our society needs to change the demands of employers, so that people have time to take care of themselves and their children.
The nutritionalist who did the research for the food pyramid refused to have her name on it after the senator in charge let his Adventist buddies change it to the monstrosity that came out. She warned them if they put it out and people followed it that there would be a massive increase in obesity, diabetics, heart attacks, strokes, depression, dementia, autoimmune disease, cancer, etc.
She was right. But instead of admitting their mistake they did the vegan gaslighting thing of blaming the victims of their bad advice.
Add Poly Ovarian Syndrom, PMS, autism, ADHD, low testosterone, messed up thyroid and likely much more to the list.
Eighty percent of obese and fat people have metabolic syndrome. Sixty percent of normal and thin people also have metabolic syndrome. Big red flag.
Most people can not lose weight and keep it off on the same diet advice that farmers use to fatten livestock cheaply. You need to learn to control insulin, not calories.
I see a lot of comments saying people just need to take responsibility for their health. That's true off course, but when a third of your citizens is obese and 70 percent is overweight, you can no longer just blame individuals. There needs to be a lot more legislation to prevent people from making unhealthy choices.
Its what happens if a society is against even the slightest gouvernement interference.
Here in the Netherlands smoking is like decimated by gouvernement regulation.
@@kladblok2729 You'd sing a different tune if you had politicians like the US does in your country. They line their pockets by corporate donors and kickbacks in every regulation. Every bill/law has a backdoor law that is buried in there that takes away some type of right.
@@Ryan-wx1bi Yes that is probably true.
How to get out of the stranglehold of corporate big money.
Ok, Stalin.
@@Ryan-wx1bi True, but at what point do Americans start taking some responsibility for who they vote for instead of blaming "politicians"?
Am I the only one who finds it confusing, that those women at plus-size beauty pageants HAVE TO wear shapewear so that "nothing is jiggling"?! If you're proud of your body, then you DO NOT have to wear those...She even mentions you can't breathe when you're wearing that. She says: "It needs to be uncomfortable", "this will make the difference of whether you look good in a dress or you don't"..
This doesn't make sense to me...I thought this was about them feeling and looking good no matter what..let alone when something on their body "bounces"..
Thank you!
Stimmt, das dürfen nur Models von sich behaupten, die Ihre Nase verkleinern, ihre Brüste vergrößern haben und mindestens drei Wochen vor dem Laufsteg-Termin Magersüchtig wurden.
I remember when body positivity was for people with missing limbs, burns, disfigurement, scares etc. Now some people think it's just for obese people. It's sad I know alot of these people have an over eating disorder but it's frustrating how it's in away been taken away from those it was originally for.
If a beauty pageant was really body positive then anyone would be able to enter it no matter what their size big or small or whatever their body shape was their physical abilities etc.
True Emma well said. It’s been hijacked who want to find excuses to be fat.
Yeah.... I have burnt scars and it's on 50% of my right leg while the right one had 30% of it. It's disgust me whenever I see my scars..... When I found about body positivity movement, I thought it was about imperfect bodies that can't be reversed, guess I was wrong
@@hilaholo6822 don’t worry about other people’s opinions. Be happy with yourself 😊

As someone who had cancer hearing someone say they would welcome cancer to lose weight is hurtful and a huge misconception that getting cancer means you are thin.....

Two time cancer survivor…kidney and pancreatic…can’t imagine wanting cancer🤷🏻♀️
@@karenhughes7185 wow
Congratulations man
I always thought there are not almost chances to survive to a cancer in the pancreas
Yeah, people wanting and thinking they will lose weight if they get cancer is horrible. What they say about people losing weight because of cancer is not always true. Yeah, people who get cancer can get skinny during their treatment, but sometimes they may gain weight. For example, I had a cousin who unfortunately passed away in 2017. He had cancer before he passed away. He was fighting it already for almost 3-4 years. At one point he was taking this treatment (I am not sure exactly what treatment it was), but this treatment did make him gain weight and become chubby. Before that, like at the beginning of his cancer, he was getting skinny because of cancer. This goes to prove that not everyone who gets cancer will just "lose weight". Some will actually gain weight and some might lose it. I guess it depends on how a person is being treated during their cancer treatment and what type of cancer they have.
@@WalterModel45 I had the Whipple surgery to cut it out….my fingers are still 🤞
That heart attack grill is the most disturbing place I have ever seen. How is that entertainment?
if anyone was wondering, casey king lost a bunch of weight, and works at home depot while continuing his journey!
“The body positivity movement is fighting back.” I wish they were fighting back obesity and obesity related diseases that cost themselves AND society HUGE amounts of money!
True. But that society has like three fast food joints and a coffee shop, that sells liquid sugar, on each corner. Every grocery store is filled with junk foods and soda. Freaking bread tastes like pastry. That society produces so much food, that even the obese population can't eat it all, so it goes to waste. Every second ad is about junk food. Pharma industry gives out diabetes medication like candy after the actual candy caused all the diabetes. Diet industry profits from all that never ending fatness and has no intention to actually help people lose weight in a sustainable way. So losing weight becomes not just personal responsibility, but a war on many fronts. And then there are all the fat activists freaks, who will tell you to stay fat forever. If fat people lose weight it certainly shouldn't be to benefit the fucked up society.
@@Jabberwocky869 I totally agree with you!!
Not to mention the fact that they are actively promoting unhealthy eating to their followers and everyone else.
Amen, from a morbidly obese female. It's disgusting. I'm disgusted with myself and others. I also have mental health issues but who would be proud of this?????
Appreciate your parents effort for trying to provide you a healthy, cooking meal at home. I didn’t know it was such a privilege until I’m this old. I hope people could take more power over their health and well being
really proud of casey! wishing him well on his weight loss journey:)
My husband, children, and I are thin, but everyone else in my family is large. I actually get a lot of hate from my mom's side because I'm not big like them. They're jealous but don't want to put in the work to be healthy. I hope people in other parts of the world learn from our stupidity.
Watching and learning.
How do these people work? How do they finance their livelihood, their food?
Oh, yes we do!!
@@laudate905 The money that comes out of my check
That's awesome 👌 👏 👍
I went to the Dr and my weight was a new high (194lbs). I went home and realized that only I could do something to stop the slow but steady weight gain .
I decided to eat only real food. Only 6 months later and i have my weight under control , I’m at 160 - heading to 150.
And i feel sooo much better .
So good! Impressive.
Omg,same. 180 right now and working towards 160
Great job! Yeah when you eat nutritious it’s like giving your body a warm hug it needs.

Good luck 🍀
I did the keto diet and for the first time in my life at age 42, I am eating real foods daily. No carbs, no sugar and DEFINITELY no processed foods! Salman, veggies a ton of veggies by the way, eggs, bacon, ground beef, sardines, real cheese and in just a month I went from pre-diabetic 287 pounds to 259 currently with a normal sugar level of 87 and no longer pre-diabetic. Just giving up the carbs and sugars already made a difference in my life.......I changed my whole lifestyle and now shop at whole foods! Wow! I never shopped at any store buying organic foods............It's crazy! But I'm healthier! 😃 Congrats on your health too! 🤗👍
After struggling my whole life trying to lose weight, I was able to achieve it with the keto and carnivore diets, incorporating some protein from the Mediterranean diet, keeping it keto.
I went from 230 pounds (104 kg) to 178 pounds (81 kg)
and life has never been better...
When I was fat.. I used to make excuses... Tell myself I am healthy... And into these Body positivity movements..
Now I Realise it was all delusion...
I go to gym everyday.. Run everyday.. I love being physically active.. I love being able to climb stairs..
*I truly love myself now*
That's awesome.
If you need a little more space on a plane you need to pay for it. It's great to love yourself, but that doesn't give you the right to inconvenience others.
Totally- if you can't put that seat divider down when you fly then you need to pay for the extra seat. Or planes should have bigger pitch... but that's not going to happen so...
Both comments are well stated!
Or to infringe on other peoples space.
I agree. I’m overweight and it would be selfish of me to be taking over another seat without paying for it . I would be squishing the person next to me and that is not fair for that person. I started to work out because I could no longer breathe at night. I have never been ashamed of being fat or felt ugly. Fat people are not ugly but you will have a shorter life span . At my heaviest , I neverrrr promoted to be fat. Only that accept the consequences that come with being obese . I didn’t like that I could not breathe and my sleep apnea got worse . I want to be around to take care of my parents and not have them worry about me . I would never shame anyone what decision they went to take but blaming others and saying it is “ an injustice” that some airlines are charging for another seat is not the airlines fault .
Fashion designers and brands are not altruistically motivated; they know that women in the US are getting fatter so they're trying to make a product that will sell.
That’s fine. As long as people don’t see it as a solution. People ought to take control of their lives.
a third of the population, now that's quite the untapped market ! Same with these so called positive movements ladies, sure you can model and make a living out of it but that obese teenager doesn't exactly have the same resources of motivation, nor deos the 30yrs old who's having a stroke.
I noticed Target now have obese mannequins.
@@jenniferdaulby5519 I think they should! I think every retailer should have, especially online, models of all sizes portraying the same dress!! This would be a real win win situation because every body type could see how that would actually look on them and also how the same dress looks on someone a bit thinner and I think that alone would make so many people very happy AND it would also serve as an inspiration for people who wish to lose weight or gain weight. And maybe your ideal figure is just a couple of sizes up or down and you never knew because you could never see it directly as a comparison and maybe thought like most people do, that this size is million light year away from where you're at. But of course companies aren't in the business of selling clothing, they're selling "lifestyles" and they're literally selling the models! Because the ideology is that you need to manipulate people into buying your shit so you can please your investors etc etc. But in reality, much like organic foods, I'm sure people would flock like crazy to a website where they can see their body types. On the other hand I do find it dangerous, even if only a natural consequence of today's retailers, to make a whole different industry just for fat people, it's literally segregation and it feeds even more into this stupid idea that we're somehow different species of humans almost. It's disgusting, fat people are just people who have more fat, I mean it's not rocket science really... And if we could see the spectrum of weight along the same dress or clothing you'd have such a clear picture of everything and especially women I think it would change everything! Because again just seeing that oh just one size less and I can already start to see a bit of waist here and a bit of boob there and oh look 2 sizes along the way and this dress already falls better on my curves and you know small steps with the whole picture in front of your eyes is a clear path to your ideal body shape whatever that may be! Just how different this experience would be for all these women? As opposed to the usual, I can't find a single dress that fits me, but I love how this dress looks on this sized 0 ( what the fuck does that even mean America?!?) who's also Photoshopped to absurdity! And then you buy it, and you can never wear it so you throw it away, we pollute the whole world with things that don't suit us because they weren't made to suit us but to be sold and trashed so some dudes can collect their stock market. It's sooooo unnecessary... 😵😑 Instead make sustainable clothes for actual real body types because then you can actually sell them if you lose or gain weight and since they were made for actual humans, you can easily find other humans to buy them who are at that whatever weight. Oh did I mention how many more jobs this would create too? You'd have a ton of plus sized models of all sizes being needed to make these photo shoots for each line of clothing and it would be real!! Like literally you could see other models who only differ from you by some number of dress sizes. It's the same for men, I mean looking at these overly muscular dudes seems like a literal impossible task, but if you could see a line of men that progressively get more muscular it puts everything into a clear and quite achievable perspective. If that's you body type. I personally advise people to look at sports because they show a variety of very different body types which are all healthy and beautiful and if you're a rugby player you're quite different than a swimmer or a ballet dancer, because they all use different muscles for different tasks. I don't understand why everyone wants to look the same? Respectively why does the industry manipulate us into actually believing that we all want to look the same?! Because if you're being super honest with yourself and talk to other super honest people you'd soon realise that's bollocks. Every person's idea of the perfect body type is well, their very own very personal and very individual idea of an ideal. And I wish people would strive more towards their own ideals rather than whatever's "fashionable" that year, that's why I think having all sizes represented by actual models of all sizes would also inspire people to desire all kinds of body types both for themselves as well as in their other halves...
being obese is a personal issue maybe stop eating plant sludge all day
Kudos to the creators of this documentary for their in-depth exploration of the obesity epidemic in the U.S. It's essential to address the root causes and promote better health for everyone.
I have been (for many years) and still am obese; enjoying a fairly carefree life and enjoying chowing down food. No matter how much I exercised, the weight would just come back and I would blame it on "slow metabolism". I started out 264 lbs and I'm only 5'7.5". I have hypertension and I'm only in my early 30s. Was rushed to the ER a few times because of arrythmias. And having had COVID in the past certainly did not help. Recently, I finally became serious about prioritizing my health; mainly looking into what I eat and really making time for exercise. Now that I have loved ones and starting a family has come into the picture, I realize that I have to set myself up not only as a role model to my future children but also to keep myself healthy enough that I may see myself grow old with my partner and see my future children become adults. In the last 2 months from when I started, so far, I'm down to 230 lbs and I feel good tbh.
Sure, body positivity with regards to obesity, at first, will seem to not be a bad thing; but it will only make you feel good in the short term. Ultimately, obesity is unhealthy and imo such movements as shown in this video should not be something that should be promoted as much.
In the US you pay twice for being obese: first when you buy the junk, and later when your health suffers. That restaurant is particularly obscene, actually foretelling the health problems its patrons are eating themselves into. Our health is precious and deserves more respect. As someone who has been hooked up to many IVs and worn many hospital gowns, it’s no laughing matter. I’m astounded by this film.
As am I. No wonder there's such an obesity epidemic? Who wants to see their child, friend or whoever, suffer through all this? I'm sure if you were to ask an obese individual if they are truly happy with their lives, despite seemingly so, you'd find that the majority would prefer to be within a healthy weight range. Much of it starts in childhood or when there's an illness that renders the individual less able to move around and the parent often gives the child everything they want as far as food, and healthy entertainment goes etc. There are often deep-seated issues that should be delved into asap in order to deal with their issues. I'll stop there. It's very sad to know that most of these people will have serious health issues early on that are mostly preventable.
there's been several deaths on the premises of this restaurant already
What shocks me about heart attack grill isn’t the gimmick but the reaction.
Like there’s no way I could order anything off the menu. The whole premise is a giant warning label. They don’t shy away from really visceral reminders of what the food will do.
And people are able to eat in there? A heart attack happens and sales go up? I get nauseous anytime I see the food and I’m shocked anyone thinks ‘that’s on my bucket list’
She's a bit overweight too
The United States government needs to launch some sort of obese combat problems? But these happen?
All these body-positive gatherings remind me of me when I was addicted. I was surrounded by drug addict friends, we did everything under drugs and convinced ourselves that drugs are not so bad, others simply do not understand and this is not an addiction, but our choice. When other people pointed out this problem to me I was offended that they couldn't just accept me like this. Now I've been clean for over five years, but god, I look at this and see flashbacks
I'm so f-ing proud of you! And your mindset and personal accountability is king 👏🏻🫶🏼
Amazing.. just amazing.. It’s extremely hard to realise and pull out and clean up.. great!
I would think the FACT that s person is
stupidly weak minded would be enough
to stop ingesting all that expensive food
interesting to read stuff like that, ngl i never understanded addiction, might be im just tryin to lie to myself, but i was doin drugs, (over a year on daily basis) was drinking when i was working as bartender on daily basis (around 5 years) but always when it came to point it affected it in my daily life too much, i just stopped.... from day to day.. ended up that im drinking like 2 times a year and no drugs at all
even tho i never suffered to be addicten on that kind of substances, i understand it wasnt ez for ppl who were addicted, saw ppl around me who got litteraly eaten by that stuff, so i might be just lucky that my brain is maybe build different and i was just able to look at drugs differently even i was doin it
wish you best luck!
straight to the point.
"No processed sugars" Puts cereals in the Bowl 😂😂😂
Yup. Crazy that it's still perceived as healthy
They make cereal without the sugars, but it's $8 a box.
@@captainkanji1 I'm sure you can find oats for less than 8$ a box.
A society that is clearly rotting fast. Economic deprivation is rampant. Political discourse has been thoroughly debased. And a culture of gluttony, violence and fear. The American dream is long long over. The question is what this all looks like in 20 years? There are fundamental structural problems that will prevent change. Depressing to see.
Training the girls at the camp to understand the food composition, and to cook it, and monitor their intake is a great way to counteract bad parenting.
Is it? I'd like to see the studies.
@@apathyguy8338 I would suggest that the logic of providing training in what has become for many young people a "lost arts" of cookery, physical exercise and the use of willpower to make achievements, would itself benefit those with determination for self-improvement. But, having given them the skills, it's very much down to the individual as to if they use them to improve their health, weight and self esteem. Yes, I too would be interested to see if the results have a long lasting effect. Probably only for a small percentage of the attendees who see the light, the rest I suspect will be overweight carb addicts for the remainder of their life.
@@apathyguy8338I've lost 75lbs on my own, and the biggest part of it is understanding nutrition and be creative with the food, knowing what to eat and what to cook.
When you are able to possess the knowledge, understanding and the skills of it, you have the power to determine the path you want to take.
If you are lead to belive that weightloss needs to be small portions of boring, flavourless foods that will leave you starving, you will fail.
But there they are at camp eating cereal for breakfast…
It also sounds like a great way to give teenage girls an eating disorder.
Being big-boned, husky, heavyset, etc is one thing but being morbidly obese is another. It's not positive it's delusional.
There are no fat skeletons…
I think that big boned myth has been debunked by science decades ago.
Big boned doesn't exist.
@@mobutter2879 🤣🤣🤣 that was funny 🤗
No big boned does exist. A 5'2 person will have smaller bones than a 6'2 person. People's bones are different sizes. Some people have small delicate bones. Others have thicker larger bones, nothing to do with bodyfat levels. You can be slim without a significant amount of muscle mass but still have broad shoulders. This is bone size
Omg this makes my heart hurt just watching. I have never been less hungry in my life. Casey's doing so well nowadays though, it's very inspiring.
I’m so proud of Casey!!!! He’s lost the weight. He’s healthy now and really takes care of himself
As an italian, watching that Heart Attack Grill was like watching a sci-fi movie.
The monitor...the scale. That spanking 😦
If anyone attempted to open a place like that here, it would probably be burned down, as in a horrible exorcism 😳

L’America è palesemente un altro mondo, non riesco a immaginare la mia vita li..perché parliamo ci serio, pubblicità e fast food ogni 100 metri è come vivere nell’inferno delle tentazioni.

Not a Sci fi film. I got more niche fetish vibes 😂
It is sinful.
There’s also a grocery store with food that could supply you with a week off healthy food for half the price of your fast food for that week
Oh yes, I got into calculating what meals cost me and it's no contest.
“There’s no healthy restaurants” ITS CALLED A KITCHEN
do you aware that a lot of areas in usa have little to no grocery stores nearby? it is call "food desert". apperently in these kind of areas, people have to work 2-3 jobs a day with family to taking care of. doing groceries for them can be impractical and quiet expensive (including the gas expense for every visit).
@@mambowumbo True, there are also more liquor stores in food deserts. That doesn't mean you should just throw up your hands and eat McDonalds and drink all day.
I live miles from the nearest store, and yes, McDonalds temps me, but my health is more important than that instant breakfast that kills my liver, my arteries, and my pancreas.
@@opieutt9038 agree with you tho. but shame to the goverment and every other corporates who make these people (that again, have multiple jobs and family to take care of) have to put aside their health in order to save money, time and energy while we all know that the cost of eating junkfood in a long time is a gigantic number of medical bills and early grave. i think they should ease the regulation for groceries owned by small business owners to open more in food desert areas.
This is a problem nationwide because we as Americans have never learned to say “no.” We’ve never learned self control. It doesn’t matter how many fast foods restaurants are around…no one forces you to go in. Occasionally is not a problem, but not everyday, all of the time. This is ridiculous. I’m a 5’. 7” male, in decent shape. But when I start climbing over 165…I cut back.
I am so happy my friends gave me the impetus to get off the road - because I am feeling better, healthier, squirreling up, not taking car risks, and I am less bloating and eating less nasty food. Thank you to my friends for their wonderful assistance in so many ways.
Dear Fat Girls Travelling, please tell your members to be nice to other travelers. Your frustration with traveling should not affect the person next to you. Be kind. Don't think because you're fat you MUST have both arms rests. The other person is paying for one too. Thank you
Facts !!! All Facts
Went to Michigan in 2011 and absolutely loved my stay, met truly kind and welcoming people there. I do remember my first visit to Wal-Mart. Holy cow, I was shocked by the number of severely obese people driving around on motorized carts. The size of soda bottles, portion sizes, bags and boxes - everything was just double or triple size with enough to feed multiple people. And I got the impression that junk food was much cheaper than healthy food; here in Denmark, it is the other way around with 'bad food' being more expensive. We cook most of our meals here, going out is for most, not an everyday thing. No wonder so many people are severely overweight or obese in the US.
@Berightback Junk food is way cheaper. Buying all of the ingredients for a meal can be expensive; a box of corn dogs is cheap. All of the ingredients for a meal of chicken, broccoli, and rice can set you back $5-10 per person. A frozen pizza is $4.
@Berightback "yOu ObViOuSlY dOnT cOoK." LOL I cook professionally. I could run circles around you in a kitchen.
@Berightback Also, you're just wrong. A box of 46 corn dogs is $8.47 at Walmart. Even if you eat 2 that's 23 meals for less than $10. Ground beef is $3.59/lb at Costco right now. Chicken breast is $1.99/lb at Costco. If you're eating 8 oz portions that's $1 per meal if all you're eating is chicken breast with no sides. If you eat 2 corn dogs that's $0.39/meal. Processed foods ARE cheaper. That's why part of the problem when it comes to food accessibility for the poor is that they often times can only afford food that is bad for their health. It's a huge part of the problem.
@Berightback But I've "oBvIoUsLy NeVeR cOoKeD bEfOrE". You don't know what you're talking about.
Interesting point, I would love to see a study of the cost difference between home cooking and buying junk food in the US (gonna Google it, someone probably already made it). I've only visited the US a few times and I didn't pay much attention to the price of the groceries. I would personally think it's cheaper to make my own food, however I do remember some surprisingly cheap junk food in the store.
Sat at an Applebee's bar, 9 seats, other 8 were not just overweight but obese.

The other solution is to become the person you want to be.

You need to atleast try for real before getting surgery, & not doing anything about it it's not trying to lose weight.
It’s not about love. It’s about survival.

@@youtube-kit9450 that is awesome. keep it up👏🏼
The classes at that weight loss camp should be standard education in ALL schools, not just for those who can afford to pay $31K for a 4 month stint
Like a real Home Economics course over multiple years. "Home economics, or family and consumer sciences, is a subject concerning human development, personal and family finances, consumer issues, housing and interior design, nutrition and food preparation, as well as textiles and apparel." Credit Wikipedia.
Exactly! Keeping people ignorant about their health is just a recipe for health crisis across society like the ones we have today with obesity, diabetes, heart diseases, etc. but ofc, there are always people profiting on that
31k that could have been spent traveling the world showing those kids how bad America really is
Anyone know the name of the camp? Maybe I missed it.
I find it funny watching commercials from fast food and candy producers during this kind of films :D
Fantastic documentary. Makes you think, about whats really important in life, is it pleasing otheres, or bieng happy with yourself.
I was actually getting physically ill watching the heart attack grill scene. The fact that anything like that can exist is disgusting and that 20,000 calorie burger is a crime against humanity
it is literally destroying the planet while the sinister few people get wealthy off of the poor choices and ignorance of people. No meat or dairy in 6 years and never felt so good.

You don’t see the amount of overweight and obese you see here daily. I guess this is how bad inequality is around the world…
@JC19 BB it is not Venezuela if that’s what you think my home country is. It does have a lot of inequality, but the middle class people are normal in their weight. And there can be underlying health issues, but what a coincidence that this mainly happens in the first world…
They have underlying conditions because they are fat...don't blame being fat because of underlying conditions. Venezuela is a developing nation. People are wise enough to know that overeating causes obesity which in turn causes disease. It is disgusting to see this and totally self inflicted 😢

@@zoeyredmond5501 yes and upsetting because cheap unhealthy food is marketed at low & affordable prices.
@JC19 BB I mean true but a third of people in America don’t have “thyroid issues” health issues is so often used as an excuse.
Over the years, I've been watching everyone around me get fatter and fatter, and this is what motivates me to not get fat.
Those young women at the school absolutely killing it. They seem so switched on. So good they have the opportunity to learn. Makes me happy to see.
So if the Heart Attack grill was actually combating anorexia wouldn't adults under 100lbs get to eat free instead of chunkers over 350lbs? Money, money, money
They will unfortunately find out how painful a heart attack experience is in reality if they survive
As for calling it a week’s worth of food, you can’t re-feed like that after extended fasting without serious prep time.

Alex could have lost all the extra weight with healthy eating and exercise. He is not THAT obese.
Agreed, eating healty and just walking for 1hour a day caan do wonders, but he choose the easy way out. After surgery he can still eat unhealthy foods but will feel "full", thats not going after the root problem.
It's as if healthy eating and exercise doesn't exist in their world, or in the culture that they live in, were raised in, and have learned from all throughout their lives. The problem is not just the lack of common sense of the kinds of people who are in this video, but the culture and food environment that they have been raised in and have accepted as normal, ever since being a little baby. When people are surrounded by other overweight and obese people everywhere they go, who also don't know much about nutrition and exercise, they start to accept it as being normal, and end up becoming as clueless as everyone else around them.
@@davidduncan9201 that's true. you know I'm living in Hungary (I was born and raised here) and I've lost 60lbs only by eating healthy/the serving size and working out. when I eat a serving size of pasta, the whole family is shocked that I starve myself, it isn't healthy and wtf am I doing anyway, I look too skinny (5'3 and 156lbs). they have no idea about nutrition and serving size. the thing is that overweight people should stop, step back and be critical about their habits and their environment in order to lose weight. that's the hardest part.
@@MsDezsoe Does Hungary have an overweight/obesity problem as well?
You brought up another good point that works against people wanting to lose weight which is the pressure and judgement of the people around you. If most people are overweight or obese in your town or city, and you are losing weight, they will try to bring you back down to their level because that makes them feel better about themselves and the choices they have made. And that is hard to deal with when those people are your family and friends.
@@davidduncan9201 Hungary has a huge obesity problem. The latest data I've found is from 2019 and it says we are the 4th most obese country worldwide. More than 60% of the adults is either overweight or obese. The problem lies in the mentality of people: "Nobody can take food away from me if I eat it." and "You are healthy only if you eat enough." in which enough=until you can't even move after a meal.
You are right, because overweight/obese people tend to drag down anybody on their level so they don't feel as overweight as they are. "X is overweight too, Y is even bigger than me, so I'm fine" . You can't imagine who many times I've heard this sentence - and how many times I said it when I was overweight.
Now that I'm at a healthy weight, my blood pressure is normal again, my heart rate is okay, my overall health improved a lot, and still people around me tell me I'm too skinny. Interesting, that only overweight/obese people tell me so, normal weight people are honestly happy for my success.
The UK is going the same way as the States with our obesity rate. I believe we’re over 30% now, and going up. It’s an absolutely shameful statistic, and we should not celebrate this under the guise of “body positivity”.
“Nothing to do but fish and eat out here.” Give me a break. There’s swimming in the lake, hiking to the lake, TV exercise, a gym, etc.
Went from 265 pounds down to 179 where my healthy weight is. Its 100% worth all the work I've put in, and It does get easier. I started doing full body work outs 3 days a week for an hour each. Love the way I am now, more energy, tons more confidence, better moods, not depressed, breath better, and just feel healthy all around.
Congratulations 🎉😊 Good for you!
I don't know you but I'm proud of you 👏🏾
I rolled my eyes when the pageant girl said "i can still eat donuts". As a person who has gone on a weight loss journery, i still eat donuts!!! Just in moderation. FOOD ADDICTION is a real thing. In the 21st century, our society is exposed to things in excess. Everything from technology, social media, food and drugs. We are prone to addiction because we just have access to way MORE than we need, so learning to consume in moderation is the challenge. But you have to first accept that you have a problem, see a nutritionist, commit to even a moderately healthy lifestyle and you will see change. And speaking from experience, stop doing internet crash diets, weight loss is a long process that requires patience and consistency.
Please don't think I'm being rude, I'd really like to know, IS food addiction real? Does your body physically crave certain foods? I grew up in the '80's when size zero was the optimum weight (what even is size zero?) and everyone was into physical fitness. My grandmother actually hated overweight people and my mama was ALWAYS on a diet so growing up I learned that to get love and acceptance all I had to be was thin, pretty sick huh? Also, we were dirt poor so we never had fast food and we had to make our own entertainment OUTSIDE or mama put you to work😄 Sorry for bothering you, have a lovely day❤
@@elainepavek3156 I started running in my fifties and lost 15 lbs. People freaked out, my daughters hated me, and everyone I knew was threatened. I have put it back on lately, but I really miss feeling as strong and fit as I did.
@@watershedbarbie9685 try a meat based diet the weight will come off naturally... liver has the HIGHEST nutritional density,, plants have Zero nutritional value as they can't be digested by humans we don't have a fermentation chamber
i went from 230 to 182 stable doing this
@@theantiveganchannel3596 It's the cellulose in plants that people can't digest. Other components of plants can be absorbed--vitamins, etc.
@@bobjacobson858 there has been not vitamins in plants for a while the soil is completely depleted/void it's been many decades.
More carbs, more sugar, more fast foods, less outdoor activities and less sleep.
Oh, I forgot about being body positive.
We literally live in idiocracy. Society has to understand that obesity is illness and government has to fight with this at all costs.
American Dream 😂! Everybody, move there. It's the paradise 😂😂😂
Stayed and lived in multiple countries like Japan, France, South Korea, and Thailand and I always get culture shock coming back seeing how obese is so normal here.
the spanking part of that experience was the only thing I was fine with. The rest of it, that was ick.
whats your job?
You don't have the right to complain about buying two seats on a plane when you literally take up one and a half seats. That's not unjust. What's unjust is being normal sized, paying for your ticket, and then having your already tiny seat being partially occupied by the overweight person next to you.
And….if you make a comment about this; you’re called toxic and unsympathetic! I’ve never had that situation happen to me, but it would be frustrating.
They didn't complain about spending all that money for food!
@@monami5658 Posted 4 months ago and still no one has criticized it. I'm pretty sure 99.9% of us agree on the subject.
I’m glad they started making them pay for more than one seat tbh because we flew to California from Pennsylvania. 6 hour flight & the woman who decided to take the middle seat was taking up her seat & 1/2 of mine by the window & 1/2 of my husbands in the aisle seat. It was miserable and she smelled SO BAD. So the 6 hour flight that I usually just sleep through, was spent trying not to puke and holding my bladder bc I couldn’t climb over her to use the bathroom. I’m glad everyone else agrees too! It’s unfair to those of us who got our weight in check!
The program showed at 21:00 is such an amazing way to give young women a chance to lead a healthy life and come out with a positive relationships involving food, exercise, and those they met on this journey. I wish treatment like that was available to anyone who struggles with food issues. Making it affordable would be a loss initially, but would pay off in the long run with decreased rates of obesity.
And there people in China, Cuba and Venezuela starving every single day! What unfair world 😢
I've noticed that all of the women on Annette's team are relatively young, once they become 50+ and start having strokes and heart attacks and can't travel... Will they be so positive?
Sure (not). What they preach is there is no health risk associated with obesity.
More like in their 40's
There are no fat activists over 50. Not one.
You don’t see many elderly obese people for a reason. Hope their reson for living was worth it.
@@Mrs.CGraves because many of the elderly that are obese are literally homebound and riddled with disease. Mist require assistive devices to walk. A lot are chairbound or bedbound. We try to be as kind, and assess their needs, as much as possible. It is a hard existence for them. If people saw that, maybe they would be less inclined to tell people eat as much, and as often, as possible.
Maybe they would quit telling people obesity and disease have no correlation.
So fat beauty pageants are just as toxic as regular ones? Got it 👍 Very empowering, what an awesome example of body positivity 🙄
yeah, "you're beautiful just the way you are babe BUT DON'T LET THAT STOMACH FAT WIGGLE THAT'S SO UNATTRACTIVE"
Agreed! I find it bizarre to consider competing in a pageant a way to build body positivity🤔
Exactly... The stupidity is over the top
The Gal states I'm in a Beauty Completion and I can eat Donuts!
Casey is a king. He made one hell of a recovery, and is still going.
Any product in US supermarkets is fast food quality. It's the low level country in everything.
I used to weigh 370...my body hurt so bad that I begged to go to sleep at night and just not wake up. It was difficult to do things that other people took for granted. I was able to pay for my own insurance, I got bariatric surgery and lost 170lbs. This surgery gave me my life back. I go to the gym every day. I heard someone say once that you have no idea how bad you really feel until you start to feel better. I cannot agree more! The restaurant that encourages overeating like this is appalling. Kudos to anyone who works hard at getting healthy! 👏
So proud of you for seeking health. Stay strong! 💪
Kudos to you. That's very inspiring. I'm still (or rather again) in a place where I need to get my past athletic body back, after going through some rough times.
I'm proud you got through it
Try keto diet for reference Dr berg , Dr sten ekberg in youtube
Congratulations!!! You had to bust your butt to get that 170 off and I'm so happy for you that you did it for you and you got your life back🥰🤗.
I was obese for a long time, but went to my doctor and assessed any health issues. I followed my diet based on those health issues and went to the gym. I’m no longer obese. We have to stop coddling food addiction.
Well done you 👏👏👏👏
Good on you
Yes!!!
Congratulations. It is possible for everyone 👏. Too many people make every single excuse to not try
What a fantastic mum that lady is at the beginning.
The idea of this restaurant is so dumb on many levels 🤮🤮
In the US, even if you don’t eat fast food everyday, people still tend to cook relatively unhealthy foods at home. Growing up, I hard ever ate fast food from a restaurant but we were still eating things like chicken nuggets, pizza, etc at home that we bought from the grocery store.
edit to add: when I moved out of the US to Asia, I went from 188lbs/85kg, to 110lbs/49kg within the first year without even trying lol.
So what's your basal metabolic rate and body fat percentage are at now? Are you sure you have a healthy body composition as in lean mass, instead of yourself becoming metabolically obese howbeit your BMI wouldn't show it?
It's not what you eat, more how much you eat
from starvation.... eating a plant based diet is starvation like 96% of the items in a store are plants or plant sourced u did not get over 15 vitamins and minerals
Yeah, I went to Uni is the USA. FF franchises on campus and in town, family restaurants serving massive portions. All I wanted was sushi, sashimi, stir fried and modest portions. Plus fresh lime & soda. Not a chance!
@@thomasengdahl6719 or how you prepare your meals.
It’s injustice to request a person who is taking 2 seats to pay for 2 seats?! Sorry what?! How about I sit on my husband’s lap the whole duration of the flight and we pay for only one seat? I once had a middle seat out of 3 two sides were taken by obese people and I had no space to sit, let alone find a seat belt. Why did I have to pay for this ticket full price, maybe I should’ve paid only 1/3?
They are ridiculous. Never want to take accountability for their fatness
Exactly! Same thing has happened to me! It's BS!
I've seen photos of people so morbidly obese that they literally block the aisle of the plane when they sit in an aisle seat. Their outside leg, their arm and gut and side boob hang into the aisle, no one can even get by to go to the bathroom in the back. If there was a real emergency, like a fire upon landing, some people would be fucked waiting for a brontosaurus sized person to squeeze through a door, then blowing out the emergency chute like a cheap balloon. Airline passengers should pay by the pound, seriously.
@@warthog473 Maybe there could be a compromise, such as paying half-fare for the additional seat.
I like Katie's suggestion--I'll volunteer my lap for the girls (if not obese, of course).
That’s due to the boarding reps. Some pull people aside and tell them they need to buy another ticket, but if they fail (usually out of embarrassment) to do so it’s at the detriment of other passengers.
who else is watching this while eating
...is doesn't feel great
Eating healthy, being active, staying positive, etc...can make you look and feel better. There are so many benefits to a healthy lifestyle.
Im amazed by how people even function at 400+ pounds. Im 31 years old and my weight topped at 240 last winter and my knees and back started to make serious trouble and i felt like crap in general. Now im down to 200 after working out and fixing diet for half a year and im feeling pretty great.
Functioning even over 700 pounds. Easy
I'm proud of you, keep going!!
@@sammandamnman thank You!
Congratulations! So proud you’re doing well! I’m similar in that I get to over 205lbs and I’m actively working to get back into shape or at very least maintaining. Maintaining usually when I’m struggling with my mental health (being autistic) and too burnt out to do anything. This usually ends up me fluctuating in weight unfortunately which I’m working on trying to find a lifestyle which works for me and doesn’t burn me out but allows me to be healthier. I’m so glad I have that want in me to get healthier I couldn’t imagine getting to 400lbs. Heaviest I’ve been was 213lbs lol because I started drinking monster energy drinks regularly . When I went on the scales I was flabbergasted but Switched to sugar free and went down to 200lbs again and now I don’t drink them at all.
Me too, I was overweight and even when climbing a stair I'd feel like I'd get a heart attack, I'm losing weight and it feels so good to run, swim, clean my house... And feel nothing but normal.
