When I was a kid, my parents only treated us to McDonalds on my and my siblings’ birthday and I used to savour every bite because we weren’t well off. Now that I have my own kids, they know that it’s a treat, and even then, they’d rather Mamma’s home cooked meals over any fast food joint. Forever grateful to my olds 🙌🏽

[@Attmay]

My mother cooked, but she fell for every diet craze except one that actually worked. She never was obese until she was pregnant with me, and she just never lost that weight. She has been living with diabetes for 20 years. She ignores all my advice regarding cutting carbs, making excuse after excuse after excuse, yet she will gladly fill her house with keto products for me whenever I visit.

[@LadyCoyKoi]

Even today with Covid-19 dangers ad yet many Rep states are like, "We don't care about your kids... Go to on campus school or we will de-fund your asses!" They are pushing the privatization of every public service... services that have been around serving the communities for the last 100 years and shown potential and goodness for communities and the nation as a whole. People underestimate and take for granted of the public services we use daily. Go to third world nations where they don't have public schools and parents have to work five times more to send their kids to schools for better opportunities. Kids in the US take for granted what they have (parents in the US as a whole don't teach their kids the basics, the school does!!!). In other nations, most kids are going around collecting garbage to earn money or work in horrid factories to support themselves and their families. I hope US kids don't take for granted what they have compare to most kids in this world. In comparison, only about 5% of the whole world population have a decent education background. Under 1% has some sort of degree. Then there are percentage of people who actually get to use those degrees and experiences. I blame the monetary-market system for the low quality of life humans are living in today. We could do so much more than this. #ResourceBasedEconomy, #Hydroponics, #Automation, #SocioCyberEngineering, #VenusProject, #JacqueFresco

[@Attmay]

I barely survived public schools in NC, not to mention my father and sisters gaslighting me by defending them after they had put me with "assistants" who subjected me to repeated physical and emotional cruelty, pressured my parents into making me take toxic big pharma pills from the age of 11 (which caused me to gain weight I didn't lose until my mid-20s), and sided with my bullies every single time I got in a fight. It is not shocking that they care more about money than whether kids actually learn anything they can use in the real world or whether or not the food they feed kids is fit to eat. The low-carb people need to start advocating for better school lunches. This cannot go on. When I was a kid, at least school nurses didn't need to figure out how to use defibrillators.

3:36 energy in DOES NOT = energy out. 50 doughnut calories is not the same as 50 broccoli calories. So many different systems contribute to if ones body gets fat.

Look up dr Fung if you're interested in losing weight or understanding the updated "science" of weight management

[@kellyjohnson4578]

Living Well With TJ I’m amazed that still with today’s science concerning insulin resistance, fat in foods /= weight gain but rather simple carbs (sugar, white bread etc), that we still have sites like “the bright side” posting a video just a year ago titled “ how many calories you need to eat to lose weight” and they boast over 600,000 views! I wish this was obvious but it is not. It’s what does my body do with those calories rather than counting calories. And why can a skinny person eat horribly but NOT gain weight? It’s the specific metabolic pathways including insulin. Link to false science video mentioned earlier. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q32Uaq2GmsSgfdE

Asherah 1147 where did you get your info that butter molecules broken down are differently stored as triglycerides than Olive oil? Also, fat cells split once they’ve reached their capacity. Lastly, the body isn’t lazy. Please do tell where you’ve got your info about being able to determine stored butter oil vs stored olive oil.

[@bethanyday3471]

@@kellyjohnson4578 actually....the body is quite lazy. it will always take the path of least resistance, just like water. you see these clearly in how we burn energy. we can either burn glucose (carbohydrates, simple sugars) or we can burn ketones (through ketosis, the process of which break down fat into usable energy called ketones) and the body will ALWAYS choose glucose (that and our brain cant run purely on ketones, it requires glucose) before going to ketones. It'll even break down proteins into glucose before going to ketones. And it is true that a scientist can tell if your fat cells came from animal fats or plant fats. very interesting stuff. while all calories are technically the same, the body is not likely to take the very difficult path of taking the broccoli calories and turning them into fat cells over just burning them via thermogenesis. The body would have to go through multiple processes to turn the glucose from broccoli into triglycerides for storage as fat. Whereas fat is already fat and does not need to be converted and can thereby just be stored for later.

I’m a big fan of Jason Fung. The core of his message is « cut out sugar ». That may seem hard at first, but in the end it simplifies your diet choices. Remember , sugar=cravings=more sugar.

[@Attmay]

McDonald's didn't used to be as unsatisfying as it is now, and it's not just because I have tried different foods since I was a kid that we only got access to when I became a teenager. It's because they started cutting corners on the ingredients, trading beef tallow and lard for cheap, inferior seed oils. Of course, when I was a kid, I was eating much smaller portions because my body was much smaller.

[@CrystalsEclecticLife]

Not all calories are the same. Also, ADD healthy items to your plate and try to eat those first and cut down on the unhealthy stuff by a few tablespoons or by 1/4. Then start taking 5 to 10 minutes to move daily to where you get your heart rate up, increase it weekly or daily by 5 to 10 min. Something is better than nothing. Go to therapy if you're over 50lbs overweight. You don't get to 80 lbs overweight just because you like food, you're covering something up or comforting yourself.

For me, changing my diet to cut out processed and unhealthy fast foods was the easy part (there are plenty of information sources online to help with diet/nutrition and healthy recipe ideas), the hard part was trying to get more active to burn more calories. I tried forcing myself to go to the gym when I was trying to get fitter and lose weight but I found it too hard to motivate myself as I absolutely hated it. What worked for me was finding types of exercise that I enjoyed and could do regularly (running and cycling) as well as incorporating as much exercise into everyday life like walking to work, cycling to visit friends, taking the stairs instead of the lift etc. I've managed to lose 70lbs so far by doing this (aiming to lose another 40lbs before the end of the year) and I'm entering a half marathon in mid-September too.

That was 2007 !

Calorie issue is over rated in this documentary. This sends wrong message about the true cause of overweight or shall I say.... overfat

[@mortenthorpe]

Tbh… the narrative of this dated documentary, is a prime example of the actual two issues; Food is for nourishment, not for entertainment and as a cure for boredom, and people have lost/forgotten what real food and common sense eating is. The latter point deserves some added comment here, while the former goes fairly well just with observation… A clear sign that people have forgotten what proper food is, is that they resort to prepared and partially prepared meals when spending their money, yet another is that the “limited defined number of meals per day”, is for a lot of people also a foreign concept. Yet another sign is the lack of fresh and varied ingredients (not prepared or half prepared) available in any typical supermarket or market… So following the narrative of this documentary, which is at the heart of the problem - Losing sight of what proper food is, leads people to measure their food-choices by calories, fat, sugar, while no truly healthy food can be chosen by any one factor, yet alone those mentioned. So, it’s another example of “If you can’t measure what matters, then make whatever you can measure matter”… But this has nothing to do with proper food or food culture, not in the slightest!

Here is the deal: To get healthy you MUST adopt a new philosophy i.e a new way of looking at and living life! By going Plant Based you step into a healthy, vibrant and exciting way to eat & live. There is an entire world of people who will welcome you with open arms and root for your success. You will cultivate a sense of respect & honor for your body and the planet. You can use the carrot & the stick to influence your actions: by watching how animals are terrorized and abused, you will NEVER look at meat or milk the same way. BY watching health videos\documentaries, you will become inspired to do more and drive forward in your health journey. Bottom line: trying to go healthy half way, does not work! You MUST go all in! You have to turn your life around but you need a new philosophy and a support group because seldom can you do this alone.Vegan groups such as the Vegan Challenge, will help you. I am rooting for you! You can do this! Start now, all it takes is a decision!

Dr Westman is the King of Keto Low Carb lifestyle from Duke University keep your carb intake at 20 grams a day and watch your health improve K.I.S Keep it simple

[@carolinelalumiere4834]

Anyone notice that the documentary itself makes you want to go buy a burger, fries or something. Maybe some of these documentaries should tone down the amount of imagery and the confessions of people who say a good ole hamburger, etc... It's like explaining how bad it's for our health while making it look so good. 😏

[@brianshields5307]

Read "Metabolic" by Dr. Lustig -

[@DeniseFaraday]

Anytime I see a Golden Corral, I instantly laugh because of the recurring Rifftrax joke is in my head. ROFL

[@JMorris-v3d]

Carbs (especially sugar) are the culprit

[@Breebreezy10-90]

That nutritionist is 50% wrong. It is not all about calories and counting them. What matters is the rtpe of food that is eaten. 85gms of fat is needed if it healthy fats. With little to no carbs. And we know Monica was taking breaks off that treadmill to not ruin her makeup. Seriously

[@lauribricker9439]

For persons who have anorexia, weight restoral=punishment! Recovery=fat!

[@JW-uy2on]

[@vickieharris3850]

JW nobody loves being fat..these are liars if they say they do..they have given up..and I bet they would trade traces with a skinny person in a heartbeat.

I cant take the crappy backgound noise music.

[@Kinkle_Z]

What do we do???? IT'S SO EASY!! STOP EATING CARBOHYDRATES!! and eat good fats. Hello! We've known this since the 70s.

[@cristyangonzalez3578]

High Carbs and sugars are worse than high calorie.

[@kathleenking47]

You mean, high fats..and STAY AWAY from seed oils Calling them "vegetable " is a misnomer

[@snowy1634]

This is NOT a matter of diet and exercise. This is all about the food, which is pure poison. STOP BLAMING THE VICTIMS!

Another bad cas of metabolic disease.

[@Gardol2]

counting calories doesn't work! it was a stupid idea! LMAO!

[@fly89]

why? it is easy.. if you take less calories than you burn, you lose weight. there.

[@Gardol2]

the human body does not burn anything(so the term "burn" is wrong, the human body is not a furnace) the body oxidizes body fat. the body absorbs the type foods you eat and if you eat a species specific diet you will not get fat or under nourished.

[@bnyob3463]

Welfare makes this possible.

Go keto

[@lorettacarroll6015]

Went keto 5 years ago with the partnership of my endocrinologist. Other than 2020 and 2021 dealing with cancer technically I have gone from 352 lbs to 183 lbs so far in 3 years. It is slower now due to hypothyroidism, past menopause with hysterectomy and continued hormone therapy. But still working on it. I am not doing this only for weight loss. Doing it to control health issues...they won't disappear, just trying to manage it a lot better.
