Ivy League Doctors: Obesity Is the ‘New Normal’

I shopped at Walmart yesterday and 98% of the women there were fat. Fat women everywhere. Fat, fat, fat!

American women are FAT!

That's what happens when you eat burgers burgers burgers the whol day and you don't move at all.

There may be different reasons for that.

Fat in normal women represents between 18% and 20% of body weight, whereas in men it represents only 10% to 15%. The reason for this difference is that women at some point in their lives may nourish a fetus and then a baby from their own reserves, so women have to stock energy in the form of fat in anticipation of future pregnancies (and must stock even more energy during the last two trimesters of pregnancy).

For various reasons, different fat distributions occur in women according to climate. In hot countries, the fat is localized on the buttocks (black Africans), on the hips (Mediterraneans), and around the navel (certain Asians). This distribution avoids covering the woman with a hot coat of fat that would be difficult to bear and inefficient for thermoregulation during hot periods. In cold countries, the distribution of fat is more uniform, which provides for better protection during rigorous winters. However the fat is distributed, its main function is for the survival of the species as it provides for survival of the woman and her offspring during times of scarcity.

There is a distinct difference, ESPECIALLY in a Walmart, between women that have a little extra weight and those that are just fat.

These are the women of Walmart, especially in the Midwest.

Is that a woman leading the pack? Using Walmart as an example of a slice of America where women are obese doesn't cut it. Walmart is in another dimension all on it's own. lol

Yeah .. there is something about Walmart, isn't there? When we lived in Alabama we used to shop there because that was THE store in the area and it had everything - groceries and goods. The people shopping there were .. um ... interesting. BIG people with LITTLE pieces of clothing that never covered the rolls.

Where did the social programming come from that we all should cover the rolls? lol

If Obesity is now "normal", why is Southwest Airlines giving people an extra seat for free, if they "identify" as weighing 550 pounds, or more?

I doubt this offer lasts long, wait until the bean counters see the end of year reports.
Scammers scam, just like the long line of people in wheelchairs get boarded first, then you see them walk off the plane like Jesus was on board healing them all.

I saw something like this for the first time in my life, three weeks ago.

I never experienced such scooters before in supermarkets and the guy driving it even went down from the seat, walked normal to a shelf, carried a whole 24x1L carton of milk (like ~50pounds of milk if you use imperial) to the cart in front and sat back up cruising along.

Later I saw that guy at the checkout isle trying maneuvering through the exit, because they are not made for driving scooters through it.

For me that guy was just pure lazy lol but each to their own.

Common courtesy. No one wants to see someone else's fat rolls. It's gross.

All I know is that calling obesity NORMAL is not right. And saying that it has nothing to do with life choices, while at the same time calling the life choices people make the reason for obesity MAKES NO SENSE. This is what comes out of the Ivy Leagues as good doctoring? Pffft.

It may well NOT have to do with food choices. If your gut biome is out of wack you can eat healthy & exercise with virtually no hope of losing the weight. We are now a couple of generations in of newborns not being breast fed, born to parents who were raised on convenience foods.

It would seem these Ivy League Doctors parent's wasted the tuition money on them.
One look at lab mice/rats who've been raised on junk food their offspring also overweight was what? Too hard for these Doctors? Fat mice have been bred for studies for how many years now?

Anyway... Have said this before. A friend of mine years before the pandemic had insisted I take ivermectin as part of a system cleanse. This was prior to 2010.

What happened absolutely shocked me. Without changing my diet I was slowly & steadily losing weight. Over 12 months I ended up losing 100lbs. What no one tells you is if you're fat & lose lbs. you're gonna look like a deflated meat-bag. It's taken all this time for my skin to shrink some but safe to say shorts & sleeveless tops are a thing of my past.
BTW my IBS also mostly quit.

It's easy to categorize fatties as having no self control, fast food sucking-hoovers, lazy & all the rest. I'm willing to bet most of them are unknowingly stuck in bodies with malfunctioning intestinal tracts.
Still my favorite snarky video.

Are you a Karen/Kevin when at a beach?

It’s all about calories-in and calories burned. You could run 5 miles a day, or 100 but if you keep eating more calories than you burn you will stay fat.

They saying is is that “you cannot outrun a bad diet”.

However…….

I hit the gym every other day lift heavy weights and cardio, I’ll tell you this, that one inch of belly fat is damn near impossible to rid of unless I eat once a day, or switch to zero carbs, which sucks!! I did it but was it worth it?

I know people that eat only once a day and I read somewhere a long time ago that Indian or some Asian people eat only once per day. I'm not sure if that is healthy or not and if it provides the right caloric intake for the day but it seems to be common practice some people use throughout the world.

Italy, those people a thin and smoking hot. I noticed the diet is lots of veggies, pasta, and very small amounts of meat. Small portions, and what’s funny, no gyms anywhere in sight, yet they are rail thin.

Actually the pasta they eat is whole grain so very different from Western pasta. Is it the meat that is causing the fat issues, I wonder?

a reply to: quintessentone

Yup, it's the meat, not the tons of refined sugars at their finger tips that is the problem.

Good call

I'd say it's on you because you refuse to acknowledge your bad behaviour on this site.

a reply to: quintessentone

There is no bad behavior here.

I ask you to please stay on topic
