Are We Americans Too Fat?
Okay I had to admit I had to knock off 20lbs and did so. May need to knock off another 10.
There're all kinds of weight/fat loss products out there but are we really that fat a nation? Anyone battle the bulge and win? |

yes all by design of the food industry....its simple fat people consume more which increases sales for food companies...the largest cult is the golden arches..they built an addictive taste that you must have...i am not a member of that food cult..the next cult is that beverage company coke..they also built an addictive taste that you must have and i am not a member of that cult...fuck both of them..

Calculate BMI and u get the answer :)

Yup, from all the bad foods we eat at fast food joints. Lots of americans eat that shit on a daily basis and get little to no exercise at all. It's the main reason why we all die of cancer in our mid 50's.

Having said that...if one does not buy these foods or frequent these establishments, said design has failed and then fatness is avoided. |

It's pretty sad when you think about it. Everyone knows that double cheeseburger & large fries from mcdonalds meal deal is horrible for you, but they'll eat it 3 times a week, every week of every month. Then they die in their 40's or 50's of cancer.

This website is priceless. It gives the food values of everyday foods and fast food stuff. It will fucking scare you how many grams of sodium are in a fast food burger. What made my day was that I don't have to give up Wendy's Frosty's as they're quite nutritious! I ate a bodybuilder's diet. Problem was here in California people prepare food way different than back in NY/New England. That salt and trans fatty acids caught up with me and almost did me in. Now you know why the feds made a law that trans fats have to be listed now on food products. 90% of my diet is raw food now. I miss bacon, perhaps a few strips a month as long as I eat lots of garlic. I think there's like turkey bacon or some such but depends on sodium content. Fuckin' scary that too much of what's in our food ISN'T food. We're being ripped off. Thank goodness for Rice Cream too! If you look at your BMI and monitor your diet according to professional indexes you'll be surprised that you can eat quite a lot as long as the processed carbs and sodium and preservatives are nixed. I had a 28 inch waste up until my mid 30s. Most my waist got was 38 inches. I knocked that shit off real fast. With discipline I can get it back to 30 and under as I'm almost there now. Raw food was the key. Cooked meats but raw food elsewhere. |

I'm one of the few that loves fastfood and isn't overly obese.. im 5' 9 and 150 lbs and loving it.

good find on that nutrition link:
i am happy to see that the only fast food i eat is wendy's chili. truth is, it is not greasy and very high quality, probably the best restaurant chili in the world. a tad high in salt, but a large chili is 300 calories. not bad. |
Fat, lazy and borderline stupid.

I think we are like any nation. Some people are over weight, and some people are not. If you eat right and exercise a few times a week, you should be in good shape.

I'm blessed with a high metabolism. I eat as much as I want and still fit in XXS and size 0. Certain brands size 0 are actually too big for me, that's how small I am.

For example, look at the Chinese and Japanese. They were going along swell and living 10 years more than Americans. Along comes McDonalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken and other fast food restaurants and they started dropping like flies. We need to remove the fat and salt from the food dammit, along with excessive sugar. That's the fucking answer. When I'm at family and friend's houses eating a traditional Chinese meal, we eat til we can pass out. Not once a day but sometimes 5 times a day we eat. Nobody gets fat! Same with fam and friends from Italy and Greece and Portugal. We eat all fucking day and night and no one gets fat unless they stop by Duncan Donuts and the other low carb pounding places. |

Just because we can eat alot doesn't mean it's healthy to do so. Less ya eat the longer you live seems to be the answer. Check out the diets of the Kalahari Bushmen. Those people never get fat. |
Yes we are too fat.

About two years ago after looking at the pictures from the Vegas show I came to the discovery I was overweight. I stepped on a scale for the first time in years and discovered I topped out at 230lbs. I took action quickly.
I started working out every morning, and running every night with my dog. For breakfast I had Special K, salad for lunch (every day - which I hated!) and a decent dinner every night. I dropped about forty lbs in three months. Since my recent move back to California (and the new job) I haven't gotten back into my routine yet. I'm now just under 200 lbs, and I'm okay with this. But yes, the US as a nation is fat. I just went to a water park - and everyone of them there shouldn't be in a bathing suit. |
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yes. |
i dont know why dude
but u certenly are. |
Quote:
yes, i suspected this. nothing wrong with that because it makes the chili mostly low fat due to the patties already being cooked. |

It's not just Americans... Australia is the second fattest nation in the world http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2004/...b__200x284.jpg |
In 97 the Pharmaceutical companies convinced the govt. to change the weight at which people were considered obese..
One day they're healthy, the next day they're overwright... All of a sudden the U.S. has 29 million more obese folks.. Gotta love it.. |

Yes, Americans are too fat and LOVE to make excuses about it. I've heard every excuse from enviorment to family history as reasons. No one seems to like to face the facts they eat like shit. I'm no different.
America is on the verge of a health epidemic that will cripple the infrasture of the health care system. MANY new and accelerated diseases, factored in with a longer unhealthy lifespan. Rises in diabetes, cancers and heart disease. So YES, Americans are too fat. |

The rise in Type II Diabetes and Congestive Heart Failure are epidemic. Quickly becoming the top two causes of death. In the U.S. both diseases are rising at such a rate they baffle scientists. It's due to overeating the WRONG food and food that isn't food due to overprocessing. We need to put a stop to it immediately or like The Ghost posted we'll fuck up the health care system. We need universal health care in the U.S. |
