    That's it exactly. The moment it was pathologised, it became "not my fault". Worst mistake the medical industry has made in a while. All just to avoid offending.

    On the upside, she has beautiful skin. No wrinkles, and completely undamaged by sun.

    I feel bad for the young males who live in Fat Zones. They're beginning partnered life with a land whale, not even getting that traditional honeymoon period (prior to kids) before she lets herself go.

    Farmers markets? Is that a joke? Do you think the average poor family is going to pay $12 for a punnet of strawberries, just because they were hand picked by manbun hipsters?

    Meantime, almost all supermarkets and grocery stores stock fresh fruit and vegetables.

    Skipping breakfast is a good way to acquire Type 2 Diabetes.

    Low protein, high carb is a VERY good diet for active people. And a huge carb rich breakfast is the best start.

    Actually it's almost all down to lack of activity. My skinny grandparents lived (for 80+ years a piece) on beer, fried meat, potatoes, and butter, but they almost never sat down.

    No real surprise that the US is the fattest country in the world. Some people that seem to lean more to the left than the right are promoting a "big is beautiful" idea and people are of course jumping on in. Why wouldn't a person that is obese be good with a policy and public image push that says......your obese and most likely will die an early death.......but it's okay and you look good.

    We're not big pork eaters in this country. Is it fattier than most 'red' meats?

    Nor did we have high fructose corn syrup in all types of foods , strange how only a few companies produce food (processed) and they own the companies that own corn syrup too, such as ADM

    Processed food is convenient but deadly

    I'm a skinny, short female and I LIVE on grains and carbs. I eat a low protein/high carb diet, and have done for many years. All the skinny people known to me (and I don't know many fat people, so that's nearly everyone) eats a similar diet. The only people I know who do low carb/high protein are those fat people.

    The essential difference is that all of us high carbers are active. None of us sits down unless absolutely necessary. If you're on your feet for more of the day than you're not, you need lots of carbs for freely available energy. You burn them up very quickly, so they never have a chance to turn to fat.

    I'm not even a little bit, and I'm well past 40. Anyone who tells you that metabolism slows down after 40 is lying to themselves. The only thing that slows down is them. There is no reason anyone should weigh more at 50 than they did at 20.

    metabolisms are effectively a 'blank slate'. they speed up or slow down according to how much we move. movement is their driver, not genetics. if you don't move, you metabolism will be sluggish. if you move, it will speed up.

    Junk food isn't the cause of obesity. Laziness is. How will you tax that?

    I didn't post any of these things. Why are you attributing a quote from someone else to me?

    She probably has wrinkles and folds all over her body! Lol! Also, she doesn't have beautiful skin. She is the color of a corpse.

    It's not 'hard to control', because it's a very simple equation. Spend more energy than you buy in calories. Or at the very least, break even. The best place to start is change your mindset to view the feeling of hunger as a victory, instead of a problem that need fixing. A good standard for identifying that you've reached the right balance is if you have tummy rumbles (of hunger) when you go to bed at night. You should have processed and used up most of what you had for dinner by the time you lie down. If you don't feel that slight hunger pang at bedtime, you've eaten too much. You're going to bed on un-utilised calories, which will turn to fat because you're not moving while asleep.

    The key to being okay with hunger pangs at bedtime, is reminding yourself that that's actually normal, and healthy. Feeling 'full' at bedtime is not. Embrace hunger pangs, they're your friend and saviour.

    folds for sure, wrinkles .. not so much. and agreed, her makeup is an odd colour .. but her natural ivory skin tone is gorgeous. any skin unmolested by sun damage is beautiful. there isn't a man alive who finds leathery skin attractive.

    I don't know about all that. That is like starving yourself which is also unhealthy. I think portion control is key. If you control your portions and just eat until you are no longer hungry, then you shouldn't get fat (including exercise too of course). Some people eat until they feel like they are going to explode (like it's Thanksgiving every day!).

    I think there's a happy medium between deathly pale and leathery. Lol. :D

    there is no such thing as deathly pale. an undamaged, fair (very pale) complexion is the default for whites and north east asians. anything beyond that is damage, not beauty. 99.9% of men who are attracted to those racial groups find flawless ivory skin far more attractive than sun-damaged skin.
