[Bingbong]

You can eat your Commie food, I'll keep eating my fatty American GO USA food!

Poignant with the holiday approaching.
Look at the shit we eat at our typical 4th of July cookouts.
Processed cheese, greasy meats, loads of mayonnaise, soda, beer, chips, pies etc etc etc.

Not hard to see where the problem originates.

[ZarakiKujata]

I think we need to form a Fat People Hater's Anonymous group. we can lobby for maximum weight restrictions on entering a fast food restaurant (no sense denying that greasy goodness to those of us who can handle it).

also, what the FUCK is this shit:

www.naafa.org- We Come In All Sizes

size discrimination? fuck that. the proportion of people who are uncontrollably obese due to medical reasons (and there are some, who deserve respect) is very small compared to the proportion who are just plain fucking fat.

and LOL @ the part where they bitch about doctors who tell them that being fat is unhealthy. oh god this is rich.

omfg, they sell a book by a woman named Linda Bacon on the front page. Oh the delicious Ironing.

"Normally I wouldn't eat 5 burgers, chicken wings, steaks and a brat, but it is the 4th of July" - paraphrased from Jim Gaffigan

Also it extends beyond the 4th of July, outside of like Columbus Day, MLK Day, and Veteran's Day, I can not think of 1 national holiday where food if not the entire point of the holiday in the first place (Thanksgiving) is not a central part of the celebration

I took a look at that. Her name is followed by ", PhD." This means she is:

Dr. Bacon!

Dr. Bacon advocates for the advancement of fat acceptance.

Ironing indeed!

I didn't read the entire thread, but I will say this for overweight people: losing weight can be very difficult if you don't have a decent amount of spare time to cook for yourself and a decent income. The fact is that healthier eating is infinitely more expensive and time-consuming than fast foods, even the ones you don't buy at a drive up window. Ramen noodles are so cheap that even whole grain pasta is pricey by comparison, and when you hold up canned tuna that takes so little preparation (and often ends up swimming in mayo) against salmon, which can require a decent amount of preparation and costs several times the price, it's a little more obvious why much of America is the size we are. We often end up taking short cuts so that we can fit eating in around the rest of our lives and don't give much thought to the impact it has on our health until it's too late.

On top of that, nutrition information can be very misleading and even confusing at times. Small things can deceive you, like glancing over the fact that you're reading the nutritional value for one serving of something when two servings come in the bag/box/container. Just an example -- I know this isn't a healthy food but it's the best example I can think of off the top of my head -- pop tarts come two to a package, but only one is a serving size. It's easy to overlook that information since logic tells you that when something comes packed up in smaller packages contained within a box, generally speaking, a whole one of those smaller packages is a single serving. That's just not true, and unless you're aware that this happens really frequently then you might end up eating exponentially more calories than you intended.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I learned about saturated and unsaturated fats in school, and the fact that they keep changing the terminology on foods (LOW FAT, NO FAT, NO TRANS FAT, ASS FAT) to whatever buzzwords will help them move product is fucking confusing to me. I have to seriously stand in the aisle for 5 minutes comparing the labels on different kinds of "natural" peanut butter or olive oil mayo vs. light mayo just to grasp the difference, and even then I'm probably doing it wrong because I don't understand what oils are good and what oils are bad and why. Something may have less calories but ends up being made with cancer and AIDS, so in the end I'm not doing myself any favors at all.

What's better, non-dairy creamer with no sugar or non-dairy creamer with no fat? I've read studies that artificial sweeteners can kill the good bacteria in the lining of my intestines, which is somehow going to make me as fat or fatter than I would be if I just ate sugar. Worse yet, I don't even know if this is completely true because the shit that gets passed around as fact is often just propaganda to move some product or other.

The truth is that I honestly do not have any idea what I'm doing when I go shopping. I just aim for the lowest numbers in all categories and hope for the best.

It would help if people stopped eating any and all fast food, stopped drinking sodas, diet sodas, sweet teas, and juices, and drank more water and at least walked outside for 30 minutes a day. People are just lazy and make excuses.

When I really got serious about losing weight this is what I did.

I have a protein shake and a banana for breakfast, for lunch I eat a sandwich on wheat bread(tuna, chicken or turkey, mustard, lettuce and tomato), and a salad, grilled chicken or Fish type dinner. I have a snack between lunch and dinner at 3pm that is grapes, carrots, and celery, and I never eat dinner after 7pm. After dinner I go walk with my wife and daughter at the park or around the block. You will get hungry, and cranky, but you will lose weight. Drink alot of water too. Quitting Sodas was the hardest part. Having my wife eat the same things also helped, so maybe convince your husband to eat better too.

Whole Foods make this process a bit easier as everything sold in the store undergoes a vetting process where the product has to be certified as a number of different things including organic, natural, no GMOs, fair trade, direct trade, ect.

Of course, this also means everything in the store is more expensive than any other supermarket, which leads back to your statement that its expensive to eat healthy. It doesn't have to be though. For example, my daily breakfast is:

non-fat organic vanilla yogurt - $5
low-fat organic granola - $6

You can buy these in bulk at Whole Foods, and they go a long way if you just use 1 cup yogurt with 1/4 cup granola for a meal. I can get about 7-10 breakfasts out of this, which is a little more than $1 a day for a healthy low-calorie low-fat breakfast.

Really any natural oil (grape, sesame, olive, etc) is okay, stay away from corn oil/butter/margarine and you should be fine. Looking at calories/fat content isnt always the most important thing. For example take roasted peanuts w/ nothing added, shits relatively high in fat and has decent caloric content but the fiber/protein content make the calories/fat ok. And cutting out all fat from your diet is also a bad idea since you need some fat so that your body can absorb the nutrients from the food you are eatting. Also as a rule of thumb stay away from any and all artificial sweeteners, b/c even beyond it killing the good bacteria in your intestines (probably teh most neglected part of our bodies, eat tons of yoghurt, even the high fat yoghurt is better then none) some actually increase your appetite so you'll end up consuming more calories then you need to.

Shopping at Whole Food's/Trader Joe's or their equivalent in your area is a good idea too. Whole Food's used to be a really expensive place to shop and it still can be but if you know what to buy there it is not significantly more expensive than similiar products in other grocery chains. They have done much in the last few years to offer a wide variety of products that can fit almost any budget (their 365 inhouse generics come to mind).

Any diet gets easier over time, and it helps to eat so called superfoods that pack more bang for your caloric buck in terms of fiber/protein content, stuff like peanuts/sunflower seeds, fish, quinoa, kefir, avocados, yoghurt, spinach, beets, soy beans, brown rice etc. And if drinking water isn't your thing, try making your own tea (with little/no sugar) or buying Honest Tea if you are lazy/busy or w/e (low in sugar, organic, fair trade, great flavors etc.) since EGCG is another great thing to be ingesting if you want to lose weight.

You will get hungry, and cranky, but you will lose weight. Drink alot of water too. Quitting Sodas was the hardest part. Having my wife eat the same things also helped, so maybe convince your husband to eat better too.

Quitting sodas is by far and away the hardest thing I've had to do, and it's absolutely amazing how much just cutting that can do. One thing that got me for awhile was I was buying wheat bread thinking I was getting a good thing when I was actually buying shit with high sugars as well as HFCS. What's funny is it was labeled as whole wheat bread as well. It wasn't until my boss told me to check the label because bread can be sneaky as shit when it comes to putting small things like that in and you don't even really think about it when you start making healthier decisions because you think "I'm buying wheat bread, it's suppose to be better."

[Kryssan]

If I feel like I'm getting chubby, I just go on bread and water. Flavoured/spiced bread, but still just bread and water. Then again, I really love bread, so its not really hard for me to fall onto that diet.


Granted, on average I weigh from 160~180 and I'm 6'0" so yeah. I'm not really ever in danger of being excessive, but I do like maintaining a thin profile.


Cut out the sodas a bit ago, back when I had high blood pressure, doctors orders. Tends to run in the family. Cutting sodas out entirely makes a major difference. Don't drink coffee or alcohol either (what kinda sailor am I???).

[Ziero]

I'm really surprised the numbers haven't started to decline. Over the last decade more and more has been done to make people more aware about what they eat and food manufacturers are 'supposedly' decreasing the amounts of fat, salt etc in their food products. =/

Do you really think the massive amounts of ignorant hicks in states like Mississippi and Louisiana care? While I won't say that everyone in the south is a redneck, there definitely are plenty of rednecks in the south. And they ain't the type of people to fret over what they shove down their gullet.

Alleya I agree, just because you're eating more healthily doesn't mean you aren't going to get fat. Exercise is important, but I don't get people who sit there all day at work and then think 'I'm too tired to exercise at home'.

It's a vicious cycle. Doing nothing gets your body used to doing nothing, so when you do something, it drains you a lot more then someone who is used to doing activities. It's not exactly an easy cycle to break, especially if you do it all alone, but it's something that should be done. Back when I worked out, I had tons of energy and felt really good. When I stopped and spent all day sitting around, I started feeling drained and sluggish. It's why they say it's harder to start working out again after taking a long break then it is to work out continuously, when the body is used to not spending energy, it takes more energy to get things done.

Exercise is free, can be done by anyone and can have just as big an impact on your health as eating better does. Dieting or eating "healthier" alone won't help you lose weight and get in shape, you need to get physically active and put your body to use. Anyone who says they can't, for whatever reason, work out in some way shape or form is just making excuses to be lazy.
