@@justjay2555 If it takes 3000 calories to maintain your weight and you only consume 2500 calories a day then you will always be slim. But if those 2500 calories consist of restaurant food, Uber Eats, steaks, pork, seafood boils, soda, lots of seasoning salt, ect then you're likely to be at risk for developing heart disease, hypertension, diabetes ect...all while still being slim. This why as someone who has several health degrees I cringe when people's main focus surrounding "health" is centered on how they look not on the quality of what they consume and how the take care of themselves.

It’s crazy you made this video and I’m thankful for it. I’ve been surrounded around plus size women my whole life I never seen them as ugly or fat. It was normal to me. I’m so thankful that you educate us on plus size issues and situations they experience. Last week I was on the bus and this lady wanted to sit next to me she was plus size and asked can she sit, the seat was open and i answered yes. She was so reluctant at first because the seat was small and I assume she didn’t want to squish me or make me uncomfortable. She did neither. It was just so mind blowing to me that she had to make sure I was comfortable with her being next to me rather then her being comfortable in the seat. I can imagine the other experiences she had.

My doctor told me (a black woman) said she doesn’t immediately jump to conclusions with her patients who are a particular weight because it doesn’t always apply. She said she could have a patient over 300lbs with no signs of diabetes and normal blood pressure levels while a patient could be smaller in weight and have those things. So we all have to be cautious this man was 56 years old black man who should’ve known better. Black folk please get checked up and monitor that blood pressure! Physical appearance don’t mean shit!

Health is at EVERY size. I am a dietitian and I can tell you that weight is not an indicator of ill health. You can be slim and have diabetes (this is why Asian Americans and asians in general have very low rates of detection for diabetes, because people are focusing on weight), HTN, high cholesterol etc. how many celebrities have the VO2 max Lizzo probably has? Stop focusing on weight as an indicator of health. Get actual blood work etc done no matter your size, eat healthily, and get your 30 minutes of exercise in (dance, run, swim, walk, play a sport, clean, etc)

What I DO find surprising however is that the main focus of his videos were about Black women's sizes but never about Black men's health. Black men are notorious for not going to the doctor, not taking their health seriously, and not taking their medication. He spread this narrative that men can date younger women at any time but failed to mention that once many Black men hit their 40s, the health issues and need for medications and early signs of male menopause (ED) begin.

[@denea4418]

Should have been worried about his health instead of using his time bashing Black women online

[@tthomas9266]

Just because your thin doesn’t mean your health. That’s a falsehood

[@zee608]

That was the ultimate read by the universe, while he’s in a ditch with a blown heart, big Shirley eating neckbones and rice surrounded by love

[@candacetyree]

Yes people assume I’m skinny I’m healthy and that means nothing

[@brynniess6183]

Thank you for saying this!

Do not add any pressure in your life...tension can cause many illnesses..

[@sandigirl9026]

So much for a nurse who couldn’t find the nitro when he said my chest…….🥵

[@kathyrodriguez820]

I don't even think she was a nurse. She may be a CNA or something. She seemed clueless on the 911 call. I don't think a nurse would be that panicked. They are used to those kind of situations.

[@jewlzn7130]

@@kathyrodriguez820 she actually was a nurse. They were able to look up her license. But. I dont think she was practicing because this whole affair sounds like she was a escort

Please Black people take your Fish Oil daily and eat Salmon. Salmon is an oily fish rich in Omega 3's and tuna is a very good fish to eat. While Kevin Samuels was dragging Black women he should've been taking care of his health. Kevin Samuels was a hyprocrite. Kevin Samuels video taped his shows in an Air BNB.

[@jewlzn7130]

Not airbnb??? 🤣🤣

[@Tellabuns]

The lion king reference was funny 😂

[@mzlovelysoawesome1725]

I would love a gay male friend like king of reads. I love his support for women ❤️

[@2120musiclover]

Hypertension is the silent killer. Most cases, it can be reversed with a good diet and exercise. Something he obviously did not do. The irony is right!

[@delawarehistory1675]

Something he did do. He had high blood pressure meds in his system. So it was treated. As someone who suffers from high blood pressure you can do everything right and it can still be high. So stop spreading hate. You haven't a clue.

[@doc_ofalltrades2444]

I thought about it when you first put this video out but wasn’t sure. I ran across the pathophysiology while studying that directly relates to it so thought about it again and wanted to share it too. Kevin Samuels shared that he had leukemia at a young age. Treatment is typically radiation and chemo. That treatment for cancer…any type really… puts patients at risk for various diseases one of them being cardiovascular disease. Radiation and chemo can cause damage to vessels the heart and valves. So in his defense his illness could have been related to the fact that he survived cancer not necessarily bad lifestyle habits. I didn’t agree with his approach and a lot of what he said but when I learned of his journey beating cancer I will admit I was inspired. So many people give up but he did not.

It’s called DEFLECTING…..

Karma not always death but it get you.

[@lacrymosa777]

Amiodarone is a pretty hard core heart rhythm medication to be on to be clowning other people about their health. And if he was on that I assume he also had Cardiovascular diet counseling in which they would have definitely told him to put the redbull down. A textbook case of not practicing what you preach.

[@jewlzn7130]

Must have had some A- fib as well. So he had no business taking red bulls. And has no business ignoring the chest pain he had

[@Artressa]

"God is a woman" instantly came to my mind during your opening.

[@carlawest4637]

Wow, looks can be deceiving

[@kathyrodriguez820]

I'll be honest looking at him I would have thought he was healthy. We are programmed to believe thin is healthy.

[@celestinemeyers4326]

Chickens came home to roost

[@lamontwilliams7838]

It’s not always diet but primarily stress that causes hypertension!

[@cynthiavaldez7127]

It would have taken me to the upper room if when you said you can't make this shit up, you used the clip from his video when he says that exact thing. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@Mrsbooks2you]

Baby because he spoke on us big people none stop. Only to. Chileeeeee
