8 Food Habits Keeping You Unhealthy | STOP the Self Sabotage

[@chryss4515]

As someone who is studying food science and technology and is currently working on her thesis in food chemistry, I love your job. The way you approach things from a scientific and also unbiased perspective is a breath of fresh air in the nutrition community. Please keep up the frequent uploads. The effort put in these videos is much appreciated. ❣️❣️

​@@NutritionMadeSimpleHi, love all your videos. Could you please post a video of your meal prep

[@NicholasDunbar]

My tip: tell people your feelings and needs I use to order salad on pizza day at work. People did not like this. The secretary would give me my food and yell "boring!" and everyone would laugh. I took her aside and said "it's hard to be healthy, I'm trying really hard to keep my weight down and my heart healthy. I'm afraid of getting heart disease, my grandmother died from it. I would like it if you could help me by being supportive? What do you say?" She actually started ordering salads for her self after that and one other joined us. After that it wasn't so weird and people didn't act as much like they were being made to feel bad for their food choices.

[@Chewy41915]

I think it’s cool that she was receptive to your request 👍. That’s really nice of her. I know people who would just be like, “well, you do you, and I’ll do me.”

[@christhetanman2639]

My #1 tip: have the strong you help the weak you. Use the days that you're well rested and have plenty of time and will power to set things up for when you know you won't. Make a grocery list. Meal prep. Pack your gym bag. Anything that requires effort, do as much of it as you can when you have effort to spare.

[@jellyrcw12]

Excellent advice!

[@CharGC123]

My most helpful tip... don't bring unhealthy crap (Calorie Rich And Processed) into your house, because if it's in your house it's in your mouth. No willpower required if you don't have temptations... at least at home!

[@MC-zm5ql]

As someone on the last legs of chemotherapy treatment, this has been a very important skill to practice. During the first half of my treatment I would give into my chemo cravings--which was always fatty overprocessed foods--and feel terrible afterwards. Now, I make the best efforts I can on my strongest off chemo days to buy quality foods and meal prep for my chemo days.

[@tylerbarrick749]

So true. Willpower doesn’t work long term. Habits do

[@michelem226]

My tips: 1. Eat before grocery shopping and have a rule as to how much unhealthy food you allow in your cart. For me it's one to two items maximum. I sometimes pick something pretty junky too like cake or potato chips. I don't make the rule any more complicated than that. 2. Have the same first meal of the day every day, and make it something super healthy and contributing significantly to your daily calories and nutrition. I find this works well in the morning when I have good willpower and don't want to have to decide what to eat. I have overnight oats that are prepared with ground flax seed, kale powder, soy milk, water, and spices. I mix it with fruit in the morning, and then also have some trail mix.

[@crex8751]

I agree, I would add that when you go shopping to ware some earbuds or headphones, the music they play in those places is to make you relax and let your gaurd down.

[@loganmedia1142]

To my body oats is close to the same thing as just eating sugar. I'll be hungry again in an hour. I try to stick primarily to fats and protein for breakfast. There can be carbohydrates in there too as long as there's enough of the other two.

[@therbeeo5364]

Underrated advice. Making the healthier choice, the easier choice, seems like one of the best practices to actually make a long term change.

[@bvrod]

Great messaging! After I lost 80lbs in 6 months and have easily maintained this weight for another 8 months, I will offer this advice. If you are going to do this health thing, embrace change - not accept change - embrace it. After your umpteenth attempt to lose weight you have to realize and accept something has to change for it to work and stick. So…. I looked at it this way, find things that I like, find things that are easy. This became my “journey of discovery” everyday and I can tell you there is more good/easy stuff out there than you can possibly imagine. I took the time to research, debunk and experiment and here I am - loving healthier food choices and not missing all that junk that literally weighs you down. Again, change is necessary, but it doesn’t and isn’t about missing out on anything. I enjoy everything I shove into this pie hole!

[@kevinmckenna5682]

Good video, except for "It is very simple: fresh fruits and vegetables..." Uh, no. Frozen fruits and vegetables are equally healthy and shouldn't be discouraged. It is also easier to eat healthy when it's easier on the wallet and reduces food waste.

[@IMissMrKitty]

Yes!!! 💯🙌 Frozen are sometimes even more nutritous than fresh (from big grocery stores) because they're frozen right after harvest. And it makes it so much easier to reduce food waste and save time prepping things.

[@NutritionMadeSimple]

100% agree! I meant to say unprocessed, I see what you mean, the word 'fresh' is not the best choice, suggests frozen is inferior. data suggests it's similar nutri value, we even made a video not long ago covering those studies. good point, I didn't even remember using that word but will try to avoid it!

You are my first stop for nutrition information. Then I go to Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, PubMed, and read the clinical trial or meta study conclusions. NOT a scientist, so the papers are beyond my scope of understanding, however, I'm a retired teacher and understand how to acquire reliable information. I just started Chemo yesterday and rewatched your video on your experience with your mother, God bless you. You're a fantastic son and the ideal support for her. My biggest support is my daughter who just went through this with her mother-in-law last fall - stage IV colon cancer, and she knows the questions to ask. She is also now a religious watcher of your channel. Thank you.

[@acke26]

I've noticed that people like to follow advices, diets and rules that appeals to them and not always what's best. The "health advice" to drink red wine every day is easy to fall for. But we get the same antioxidants with onion or by eating an apple. But drinking wine is more appealing eventhough we get side effects like liver damage that doesn't come with eating onions or apples. The same can be applied to LCHF diet. It's appealing to us cause we can eat fatty sauces, unlimited amounts of bacon, meats and things most of us love. We even fall for the false assumptions that high LDL levels is ok just so we can overeat cheese, fats, bacon and meats. I got a wake up call when I started to get angina after two years in LCHF-diet. My cholesterol levels were sky-high. Thanks to the highly informative videos of Gil I'm now on the right way lowering my cholesterol levels.

[@dannyspitzer1267]

👍

[@loganmedia1142]

The problem is that diet is actually extremely complicated and highly individual. We can potentially single out specific things that are clearly unhealthy for most people. We can find some things that when consumed to excess are unhealthy for many people. What we can't do is give accurate healthy diet advice that applies to everyone, because what works for me may not work for you. A good example is how some people can eat oats and feel full for quite sometime afterwards. I grew up eating it, but I was always dead tired and extremely hungry within an hour of consuming it. For me a good breakfast is one loaded with protein and fat. I can throw some oats in as an extra then if I want because the protein and fat will carry me for a few hours. It was only as an adult that I realised why I was always so hungry and almost falling asleep in the morning at school. Eating things like oats for breakfast. I also don't gain weight or body fat even when I snack constantly throughout the day in addition to full meals, unless I also completely stop being active. And I don't even exercise that heavily. My most common exercise is walking to the supermarket. Otherwise I do a bit of more intense cardio and a little body weight strength training in my little backyard. So my diet is probably completely wrong for someone prone to gaining weight from eating foods that I routinely consume.

Planting some of my own vegetables on the deck helped me. Radishes taste different when cooked. I was able to have radish, short carrots, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, parsnips. Now that I have a yard I have more space and have added a lot of herbs and other things. I find I eat more of them when I went to the trouble of creating a raised bed and keeping things watered and mulched.

[@almaburns6562]

I never ate a radish in my life until somebody gave me a few plants. I was so proud that the radishes actually produced--this was my first little garden. I sliced them thin & put them in salad. This is the first I've heard of short carrots, btw.

I hope someday i can say in your face how much u blessed my life.

[@spakchitown]

These are great tips and are so relevant now that I’ve lost 50+ pounds! I’m finding the one about just saying “I’m making lifestyle changes” works much better than giving a bullet list of what I’ve changed, because people listen until they find THAT one item they can debate or relate to themselves, and the conversation becomes about them and isn’t positive anymore.

[@mariecovell2882]

Make a salad for 5-7 days at one time. Chopped cabbage (red & green)(small bits), chopped romaine lettuce, sliced brussel sprouts, broccoli bits, slice carrots, sliced celery, tri-colored sweet peppers, one bunch of chopped Lacinato Kale (ribs removed). Put all prepared veggies in one super large container in the fridge. Hungry??? Your salad is ready to go. Get creative by topping the salad with sprouted pumpkin seeds, avocado, and your own healthy salad dressing. Add it as a side or make it a main meal by adding brown rice, or quinoa. Remember to use grains sparingly and keep them whole. Add protein by topping salad with baked Tofu. Alway healthy and always easy. The great thing about this combination is that the premade salad veggies have a long lifespan. If purchased fresh, they can last for days. If you have a lot left over at the end of the 5 days, you can use them in a stir fry with brown rice and tofu. Hope this helps you on your journey to easy, healthy eating.

Having a SO that is willing to have similar goals and habits is such a wonderful gift. My wife and I don’t do everything the same but we do share breakfast and supper every day and we align our healthy eating very closely and support each other every single day. We are always willing to try new things but keep the unhealthy foods to a bare minimum. Michael Pollan’s “Food Rules” and Joel Fuhrman’s “Eat to Live “ are great guidance too. I’m 54, 150lbs (the same I was at 19), BMI of 23, exercise daily and most (not all) of my health metrics are excellent. Heart disease runs in my family so I do my best to minimize the risk. Getting fat has been a lifelong fear that has been a challenge living in the US where I’ve seen obesity rates skyrocket over the last 40 years. It takes a lot of skillpower to avoid fast food and binge eating in this country but I do enjoy standing out. Good luck y’all!

[@csillakumar3612]

Finally I got down to my ideal weight by eating low fat vegan diet, and I really stand out. Some of my friends are saying I’m too thin, even I have to get used to my leaner look. Great advice not to worry about standing out.

[@jmc8076]

I went through same yrs ago as did my husb when we changed to whole food plant based and less fat esp sat. We still get the odd comment about being thin but I’m not helping the political narrative to call it ‘skinny shaming.’ It’s just lack of knowledge and following the crowd - like high school. 😉 My theory is the idea of normal weight is skewed - too high or low. Mostly with help of media/HWood and convenient processed big corp food (based on consumer demand). We/you are prob closer to healthy incl leaner, BMI, waist, muscle to fat ratio etc. Congrats. ✌️🌱

[@watcherworld5873]

I think habit #4 needs to be augmented by understanding that what our body can handle changes with time. So, maybe a good habit is to measure our progress using metrics such as waist size, fasting blood glucose, sleep quality numbers, etc.

I'm fortunate, if I know something is not good for me I don't do it. Stopped smoking 60 years ago on a dime, stopped eating meat over 50 years ago and never ate meat again.. It's not discipline it's understanding, I saw the damage of smoking, the propaganda and the stupidity of it, it was easy. It's about being an individual, it takes courage to be an individual, it's easy to follow some guru who tells you exactly how to live and what to do, if the guru is wrong you suffer not him or her. Be an individual, you'll never please everyone all the time, people who don't like what you do - too bad, my life is my gift and how to live it is my blessing alone. Respect people but live your life or at the end of your life you'll be filled with regrets, all your life will be was what someone else thought it should be. That's sad, too many people do that, don't be one of them.

I have time, I'm just very lazy and like carbs. But that makes my blood work mad at me and necessitates meds to keep things down. So I'm finally on the way to do the smaller changes and try out new things. I switched to decaff and now my BP is better than anything I can remember in my adult life. I also found out that cauliflower rice is very yummy and going to incorporate it in my meals. I just need to remember to get much more frequent and larger amounts of cauliflower than before, which is also a habit to build. Just small examples of what I'm finding works for me and how it needs to become a habit. Working out is the harder part but I'm working on that too. I'm determined to be able to get rid of my meds because I'd lost weight and eat better. Thanks so much!

About motivation: I use logic. If I do everything right I have a small chance of reaching my goals (doing a sport) and if I am the least lazy or careless I have zero chance. And because my greatest goal is to be copetative I can’t see I have any other choice than just pushing through every day with training, diets and sleep. I remind myself of this everytime I don’t feel lime training or craving some bad food.

My strategy for retraining myself is to put a bicycle cable through the refrigerator and freezer doors and then put a timer lock available at Amazon on the ends of the cable.

This is great advice. I've been vegan, mostly plant based for about 5 years now. A lot of these things came fairly naturally in retrospect but I think my husband joining me and living far from family in the beginning helped a lot. I'm trying to exercise more regularly now which is not coming as naturally (I used to be consistent because I wanted to maintain my weight... Now with my diet I have no issue maintaining my ideal weight without exercise). I think it's important to understand your motivation and have a way to track progress (something I need to work on). I'm going to try to keep these tips in mind as well.

[@chiarac2747]

Agree with all your tips, I'll add mines! 1) Eat an apple and drink water 10 mis before you eat, you will feel more full. 2) How hungry you are is a sign of how soon you should eat, not how much. 3) Don't tell yoyuself "no", tell yourself "later". When you have a craving, save it as the last you will eat during the day, so you are sure you can count the calories before and you won't exceeed.

[@acke26]

The thing with non supportive people around you when you try to improve your health whether it's a new diet or lifestyle changes are often people that are healthy and strong. They're not always mean or evil. They just can't understand your perspective. They lack empathy. I was like them when I was healthy and strong. Dont judge them. Try to explain why you search for different diets etc. Ever since I got diagnosed with the neurological ailment ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) I've been searching for diets, supplements to improve my overall health.

For me personally a strict keto diet seems to be the best option for weightloss. I competely loose all cravings and I am able to sustain it for 3 months in a row and automatically eat less.Without cravings I do not need willpower to prevent binges and after the keto I learned that refined sugar and processed food never tasted great. The carbs I really like are beans, lentils, potatoes and not flour and sugar.

[@jgreen9361]

People have found the same result on a vegan whole food diet. What do the two have in common? A big reduction in ultra processed foods and highly refined carbs. Conclusion, a much more whole food based keto diet or vegan diet (or any other diet that reduces these 2 things) causes a shift away from a diet which has been widely shown to suppress the feeling of being full and causes you to repeatedly over eat.

Don't live your life through other people's eyes. Identify whats really important in life, and if your health and well being is important enough, get informed about good diet, set some goals for exercise, associate yrself with like minded people, go exercise together, eat and share diet tips together, invite them over and eat / socialise together. Start jogging or do bodyweight workouts at home, the results come quick and this boosts motivation even more. Don't bother about what other people think or say about you. If they want to be unhealthy losers, let them be, just asociate with positive people. Keep getting informed about health, diet and exercise. Do it while you can. I's never too late to improve your diet, and exercise while you can. I left it till my fifties, but ran the London half Marathon at 59 with my daughter, did crossfit and had a six pack at 60, but then it went tits up when i had a stroke after a ski fall damaged the artery in my neck. I found it easy to get motivated and am still very much into diet and health and have awesome bloodwork and havent eaten red meat and cheese since just before the stroke four years ago. Knowledge is power and an ongoing source of motivation.

Have to plan, prepare. Understand what you are putting into your mouth. I try to eat meals with a good balance of protein vs (carb & fat). I stay away from packaged, processed foods. I plan out meals now and eat fewer meals. I try not to eat naked carbs. It takes work and discipline, but geting leaner and healthier can be done. This plan is working for me. I also walk and then do some short burst running. Again...u have to plan and prioritize and do it forr health...then the lean look will come. I also lift some weights...dumbells mostly ..running the rack...high weight 12 rep then lower to squeeze a few more and a,few more out. I am making good progress but soon i have eye surgery so i will have to stop lifting for a while. I suffer from Keratoconus. I will stick w my eating plan...always try to get protein in your meals and get outside. Ditch refined carbs and refined oils. It can be done. Up to you. I proved it.

Some of this is wise advice in general, not just about food but about media literacy on the internet in general. There are so many places on the internet where woo and flaky thinking seem normal. Woo and flaky thinking will generally let you down, and they often hide unspoken agendas that don't serve our interests.

[@kh485]

Tell yourself to eat foods like ppl ate them 150 years ago straight from the farm. Emulate diet styles from cultures that have health and longevity. Following the science can help, but keep in mind the science has been corrupted by business interests. The superior foods have higher nutrients per calorie and are affordable and available. Green vegetables are superior in this way. Better food choices must be hormonally favorable and not spike insulin and I-GF1. Ideal choices should not contain contaminates or toxins.

The small amount of sugar you get must come from a whole food (tiny amount of fruit). Simple, done. In some cases some probiotics can help but still not a lot of evidence supporting pre, pro and post biotics. Exercise, drink good water, take your vitamins and minerals based on your age, each age range has different requirements. And for some people needed anti fungal or other medication short term. I have cured 12 people of "candida" but failed to cure about 35 people who refused to eat correctly. Strict eating and moderate exercise is the key. IF you are overweight, should cure that issue first, then cure why you got overweight (many issues from environment to bad job to bad relationship), then cure the Candida. You got this, just have to decide this is a priority in life or not. There are no magic cures or magic bullets to bad environment or lack of support around you. In 100% of all my Candida cases, their life was messed up and that lead to wrong food choices and that lead to the candida.

Thank you for your hard work in making nutrition simple. The food looks very appealing. Perhaps finding a Registered Dietitian with the right skills could be mentioned as a strategy.

[@Slizz]

A registered diatitian once told my friend that fruit is good but you should not eat more than 3 or 5 pieces a day. Can you make a response video on how much fruit is optimal or what is the maximum at which there might be negatives?

[@dj-fe4ck]

That's completely false. Eat as much fruit as you want

[@IMissMrKitty]

When you're trying to lose weight it'd be a good idea to limit yourself to one or two pieces. When I first started eating healthier, I traded in sweets for fruit and didn't limit myself.

[@dj-fe4ck]

That makes no sense. Most fruits are only 150-300 calories per pound. Compare that to nuts and seeds which are 2500-3000 calories per pound, and oils which are 4000 calories per pound. Fruit does not make you gain weight. It does the opposite.

[@IMissMrKitty]

@@dj-fe4ck The amount of calories doesn't matter as much as the effect something has on insulin. The amount of sugar in fruits nowdays compared to back then is much higher. And anyone with insulin resistance, which most Americans have unknowingly, is going to have a hell of a time trying to lose weight.

[@dj-fe4ck]

@@IMissMrKitty that's a phony argument about fruit. There are non hybridized fruits that are just as sweet or sweeter than many hybridized fruits. Insulin resistance has to do with intramyocellular lipids and eating too much fat. It has nothing to do with carbohydrate intake. You could put someone on a diet of only fruit, potatoes, and rice with no added fats or oils and they will reverse it in a few months, and they will lose weight. I eat 300-800 grams of carbohydrates a day and I am only 5'8" and 120 pounds and I am not very active. My a1c is also 4.6 as of a few weeks ago. That's probably lower than most low carb and keto eaters.

[@leafster1337]

i think something like walk an extra half a mile or eat another cup of vegetables everyday is a gateway new years resolution. its pretty easy to sustain and of course youll eventually achieve it and this is encouraging to add/change more. even lose 1 lb a month. so easy youll make it 2, then 3-4.

[@aumnamashivaya4]

I realised leaving behind jealous dumb family and friends was the best thing to do not just in terms of diet or healthy choices but FREEDOM OF THOUGHT way back in my early twenties and THANK GOD for blessing me with courage to walk away and discover my own brain 😂

[@jtucci5711]

I can't agree with you about will power not being necessary to start a positive eating routine. I am 72 and have heart failure and for years I dabbled in what I thought was healthy eating habits. Mainly using the Mediterranean diet as a spring board. I never really strapped myself in and told myself I was going to go 100% all in and as a result I never really made any significant progress always hovering around 200 lbs when I should have been at 175 lbs. My cardiologist never once said anything about my weight or what type of food I consumed. It was not until I started resurching KETO that I found the discipline to adhere to 100% that got me to my present weight of 177 lbs. I have since stopped Keto or so I thought and my only reason for doing so was to be able to consume a few more vegi's but even after I told myself to forego Keto I found myself still eating and staying inside the Keto recommendation of 30 carbs with some days I know probably exceeding 50 carbs, but not often so I believe my body is instructing to stay in ketosis as it is the most healthy option for me.

Go to the grocery store with a small salad bar. Use the Large soup cup to put the salad in. Eat that and a bottle of water before grocery shopping. Also what I don't have in my house I cannot eat. So don't put any processed foods. None. When I want something sweet all I have is fruit. When I want something salty, I have to make popcorn. Working so far. Cheese is my downfall. I only bring it in the house occasionally. When I do it is the shredded kind. Easier to eat only a little bit that way.

[@tomburatovich1991]

I take 15 minutes before dinner every day and make a big salad. I then put it right in front of me so that whatever goes on my plate is in plain view of the salad. I don't want to be too full because I reallly like my salad. It makes me happy to eat it, And I feel good about what I ate. It's an easy habit to execute.

[@zauberfrosch11]

When I started watching your videos (few months ago I think) I thought you were at the beginning of your 30's 😂

[@feliperoballo3918]

great video! you looks better than me (28 yo) congrats for that. greetings from Brazil

[@Tinky1rs]

Great video! One piece of feedback: I'm not sure it's new, but the will o' wisp effect on the left side (esp. in the beginning) of the video is somewhat distracting.

[@thebsmaster]

Just want to say thank you.

[@NutritionMadeSimple]

you're so welcome

[@annaj.4740]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the great video 🎉💞 again 😉 Once again you made me very happy, through your hard work, which is certainly behind your videos 🤘 Were the "coming up soons" for the video? Or are these planned videos? It all sounded very interesting. I am not a native English speaker. So I sometimes don't know whether I understand everything correctly. What I celebrated so crazy was that you are absolutely right that one should be authentic 💪 Just see what you are doing as right and not constantly accept the opinion of others. Perfect! Also, what you can, have to, should, must demand that the others should respect your decision. Just accept and you're done. Nobody has to do the same. But you shouldn't criticize everything across the board! ⚡😎 Another thing I would like to ask you for are meal prep tips. At point 1 you said that if you do 5 boxes for every day of the week and then take them to work, you can prevent food cravings. Do you have any tips on what to pre-cook? As I realized, rice and noodles only last 3 days, and I am also suspicious of beans and other things 😓 If you have a video about this, from yourself, from others or a literature suggestion, PLEASE send it on 💓😃

[@r.a.h1146]

Just came across some of your videos so I’m really late on this but if you really wanna know "my secret" I’m an extremely simple person. Whenever people ask me “HOOOOOW????!!” (did I drop all that weight)…my answer is extremely simple. “From getting old.” When you’re a woman “that” age…come home from the doctor one day with a sudden loooooong list of diet rules and not supposed to skip your workouts, I did what I always do (speaking of “habits). I just stopped pretty much cold turkey, gave away (or consumed pretty much nothing but for about a month until they were gone) all the “NO” foods without even caring how I could'nt live without them. And because I’m one of those weirdos who'll grab AAAANY opportunity to turn those things I don’t always wanna do but have to do into my paycheque (3 jobs & counting) I became a “trainee” & then certified Jazzercise instructor (of all the weird things at goin on 50). I’ve got abs, delts, butt etc goin on I’ve never seen in my life! (still haven’t gotten over the whole “deer in the headlights” thing myself). And the whole weight loss/body thing was not even in the equation (wasn’t actually in terrible shape before…20 pounds would’ve been more than enough). It was just a “by-product". So typical, things only come easy when they’re not important/you’re not even trying. But it did take a LOOOOT outta me learning the whole totally different (FAAAAAR more involved) cooking methods/foreign ingredients/meal prep thing. However I still enjoy food even more than before (I have IIIIISSUES…kind of obsessed). And my greatest challenge with workouts is how to make it hard/intense enough. Couple weeks ago, worked all night, did another 3 hour job in the morning, ALL on my feet, then went & taught a 2 hour class without breaking a sweat while my teammates are sweating buckets all over the floor & constantly watching out for their puddles/slipping hazards. But there’s always trial & error going on. Like one time I did the “I wonder what intermittent fasting would do?” thing & couldn’t even stay above 98-99 pounds. Ya k that’s a “NO!” But I think that’s pretty much the gist of this video am I wrong 😅🤔

[@rosafreitas9400]

I’m glad you’re porugues.and I like listening to you.but I’m having a hard time to know what to eat because of my kidney stones thank you

This is the best health related video I have ever watched 👍👍

Ok. I’m getting off the couch NOW and making myself a chia pudding for tomorrow’s breakfast.

[@empanadani]

My biggest issue with veganism is eating around other people. I stand out and i don't like it! Most people are not vegan.

[@anarchy7741]

Most people are not many things haha Its a compliment

[@samanthab5006]

I totally get what you're saying. Over time it gets easier and I find most people don't care if you're not loud about it. I will say though that it's really nice when you do find someone who can enjoy your food with you, vegan or not.

[@moreymara433]

"criticism is often a form of defensiveness" sounds like a quote from a book or podcast, etc. If so, could you share what it is?

[@marvinezekiel8825]

The is amazing. Absolutely amazing

Half brazilian half portuguese... yea your people like to EAT! I love portugal and its food Half Spanish Half American... I can relate 😅

[@loganmedia1142]

Being overweight, rather than obese, doesn't appear to be associated with increased mortality though. If we look at mortality curves they're usually J shaped, with a low somewhere in the region of a BMI of 23-25, sometimes a bit higher, and it goes up on either side. I know for instance that for my BMI which is on the low end of "healthy"/"normal" the mortality rate is the same as for a BMI around 27/28 which is called "overweight".
