Dark Shadow Storm I agree. Until they start pushing accepting how they are and shamming people because they can’t take a hint of constructive criticism on how it’s not healthy. That’s when others need to intervene because this is an issue that people need to work on. If it be laziness or not having even a minimal sign of a backbone to take even a little advice something needs to change.

[@lollylou22]

I'm honestly of the opinion that obesity needs to be dealt with as seriously as other eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia, because the long term effects of it are just as serious. We wouldn't sit and encourage someone with anorexia to continue starving themselves just because them fighting such a disease is difficult and goes against what their emotions are encouraging. One of my cousins had severe anorexia in her teens, and in the end, doctors got her into a residential program that helped her to get well and taught her all kinds of strategies to prevent her symptoms from recurring, not least was teaching cookery with an actual nutritionist. Some of those who are morbidly obese, particularly children who are measuring as morbidly obese, need something similar, that takes them out of the situation where their disease has manifested and puts them in an environment where they have a multidisciplinary team of therapists, nutritionists and doctors to be able to help them help themselves and then gradually move them back towards a non supported living environment so they don't risk relapsing. I have one friend who is morbidly obese, whose three children are also morbidly obese, and she gets upset any time a doctor so much as mentions her weight, and gets very upset if anyone dares to suggest her children and herself aren't healthy, even if they have a myriad of diet related health issues that mean she spends half her time making doctor's appointments or going to see specialists. The fat acceptance movement is slowly but surely killing her and her family, because it allows her to pretend that they can be healthy at their size, and allows her to prioritize her hurt feelings at having her weight mentioned in any way that she could ever interpret as negative. That's why it needs to be stopped, because not only are her family slowly killing themselves with food, but whilst they are doing so, they like the near quarter of the population here who are obese are costing our healthcare system billions, and people like myself who look after our bodies and are almost never ill are the ones who are paying for their care.

If you are talking about binge eating, then sure. But I'm confused as to why someone would assume anyone with a large body is somehow killing themselves. They could be eating a healthy amount of healthy food and your assumption would be both harmful and wrong.

[@HeaftyBlast]

@@gandalfthegrey not really, being overweight is straining your body. also if a bigger person would be eating healthy food of any quantity, they would lose weight quite fast even without doing exercise. processed food and sugar is the problem and if an overweight person would just cut all sugar, they would see almost instant results. i am not overweight but i had some to lose and i tried cutting as much sugar as possible and i lost close to 20 pounds within a month with doing 3x 1h at the gym per week. the only reason i didn't totally cut all sugar is because i have type 1 diabetes and i need some sugar in my diet, even more if i exercise.

Imagine a sickly skinny person going like "I'm going to accept the way I am and I'm beautiful just the way I am." Imagine people promoting an anorexic girl on the cover of a magazine.

And I'm not talking about body positivity, I'm talking about when overweight people normalizing being obese. Body positivity is different. I also hate when they associate themselves w/ being curvy. Being curvy and being overweight are different. But they just associate 'curvy' and 'overweight' w/ each other because deep inside they don't actually love their bodies and they are insecure and saying they are "curvy" makes them feel better about themselves.

However, if you're saying "I accept being obese", you're also accepting a bunch of health issues. That's the same thing with sickly thin and anorexic people. Let's not pretend that being super thin or being really overweight comes naturally. It comes from the type of lifestyle you live. Even though their mental health and their lifestyle is unhealthy, physically being in the state of morbid obesity or being really thin is just as unhealthy as the habit itself and causes death. That's why when you're in any of those states, you need to quickly get back in shape because it kills.

Maybe “obesity acceptance” would be a better phrase. “Fat” describes appearance but Obesity is a medical condition that can threaten your life over time. They are often positively correlated. But I’m right there with you brother.

[@QuackZack]

To me being fat can be around being chubby or too chubby and it's not too bad to work off the calories as long as your body is in well-health. Obesity, to me, is a huge health concern and I'm thinking 200-300+ lbs (depends on height and gender), it should not be accepted but shouldn't be mocked either, it should be dealt with in an appropriate manner and encouraged to be fixed. Being Obese is proven to significantly shorten one's lifespan and dramatically decrease quality of life, those who sell clothes or food and encourage such a lifestyle is scummy.

[@codmobileguntests90]

To be obese you need to be fat. So it could be said either way.

[@DefinetelyNotAnAlien]

So to speak: everyone who is obese is fat but not everyone who is fat is obese

[@jetkismet2345]

That would be more accurate! Everyone has fat on their body; some too little, some too much, some just right. I’ve never met a healthy obese person.

[@aarontheman9196]

@@QuackZack being "fat" or "chubby" is never "healthy". The healthy body fat percentage for men lies between 8% - 19%, and for women its around 21% - 33%. For a man at 19%, there is actually a decent amount of muscle definition, and even an outline of some abdominals is visible. When I was at 8% bodyfat, I had visible veins on top of my abdominals. Women's bodyfat percentages are skewed higher, because of breasts, as well as natural, firm layer of fat under their skin, and extra fat on the buttocks and legs. These bodyfat percentages are not high, and nowhere near what people consider "chubby" or "fat". The reason carrying extra fat weight is bad for you is the fact that your body has to supply blood to it, as well as the fact that any harmful substances, byproducts, metabolites, and toxins you don't excrete get stored in this fat, which then has the potential to enter your bloodstream. Some of the excess bodyfat also gets stored around your organs and causes damage. If you are overweight, at all, you are not your healthiest self. It is wrong to promote any image other than an ideal of health. Otherwise, you are deceiving people into thinking "well I'm not THAT fat, I'm just chuby, so I'm healthy" even though they can't run 1 mile without puking. Human beings have the genetics, bone, joint, tendon and muscle structure to be the greatest endurance runners in the entire animal kingdom. Many tribal cultures to this day hunt by running down their prey until it collapses from exhaustion. Humans are the best endurance runners on the planet, yet nobody would know it just by looking at the average middle class american. To have that potential, and claim its healthy to be "chubby" and incapable of running even a couple miles, is absolutely false. Don't bully obese people, fat people, chubby people, or whatever you want to call them. But never call it healthy, because it absolutely isn't.

Like I don't want people to feel like they have to starve themselves cuz they can't accept even the tiniest amount of fat on their body but obese-acceptance is equaly bad cuz being both anorexic and obese brings health-complications so it's dangerous to promote extreme fatness as healthy just as anorexia is not healthy...

Going by measurements is more accurate. Just saying. Yes, you can be fat without carbs. Even if your body is in a perfect state of ketosis, eating 20,000 calories a day will make you fat if you're not exercising like an athlete.

I’m gonna be honest about something Rich. I’ve kept up with your content for a long time and I remember when you used to have video game footage over what you were saying. Then I just kinda fell out and watched a video of yours about a year and a half ago. I couldn’t bring myself to actually watch the vid. For a while just seeing you in the shape you were in horrified me for you. When I saw you around mid last year and I checked out one of your vids again, I was thoroughly impressed. You’ve come such a long way and even became an inspiration for me to keep working at it. I love how you always speak your mind and tell it like it is. Cause you’re right, being that way isn’t healthy at all. It’s a disease and should be treated as such. People shouldn’t be judged or made fun of for it. But they definitely shouldn’t be coddled and praised either. Thank you for speaking the truth on this touchy subject. I think you’re the best person to do so. I’ve struggled with weight and body issues all throughout adolescence and although I’ve never been “fat” I definitely didn’t like myself. Then I started actually getting some exercise (which was just simply walking and running) and I had a major difference. Two years ago I fell on pretty hard times and ended up depressed and let myself go. Since then I’ve been working to get back to being happy and healthy again. It’s not easy, but as long as I keep going, it’ll happen. To anyone else dealing with things like this, please know that you’re not a horrible person and should never be made to feel that way. But life is meant to be lived, enjoyed, and shared with loved ones. Anything that will take away from the value of your life, is of no value at all. And always remember. You’re stronger than you think you are. Even if it’s just a simple walk and some lighter eating, baby steps. Just don’t listen to that voice in your head that says to give up. It’s a liar because you’ll get there. I promise.

I experienced the same issue when I was overweight. Around 14 years old, I was approximately a size 14 in women. I use to cry not being able to shop in the teen department like every other teenager my age. Now that I'm a size 5 to 7, I now see up to a size 16!! It's so insane and crazy.

[@EckmanJones]

When I got back into cycling, I was 260 lbs and barely able to ride a mile, even with a decent bike. Fast forward two and half years, we moved to Texas and discovered intermittent fasting and I'm down to 195 and I'm not sure what my max distance is now. I can do 60 miles without too much effort. As you lose weight it compels, or at least it did for me, to see just what I can do now that I weigh less. As of last June I reversed type 2 diabetes, that took me ten months to reverse 10 years worth of bad choices. For the last year I have been biking/ triking everywhere because I lost that weight and gained substantial stamina. I ride about 100 miles a week now. Keep going Rich, it only gets better from here on out. It's not only good for your body, but your mind as well. Exercise helps preserve grey matter in our brains, body and mind. Keep up the good work. If you ever need that extra motivation watch Ryan Van Duzer, that man is pure motivation.

Awesome dude!

[@rolandrodriguez9594]

Chris Eckersen yeah dude I run or cycle about an hours worth where I sweat off like 2-3lbs or more. Sometimes the hoodie I wear is drenched where it looks like I jumped into a pool. Of course I drink a lot of water afterwards to replenish my body. Yeah once you do get into it and get a routine it does become like a game of how much can you push yourself without destroying yourself in one attempt and do it day in and day out

Fine lines, people can be fat for multiple reasons such as mental health and comments focus only on a negative and can sound unintentionally patronising in other words people don't care for the root of the problem just want to treat the fallout from it.

Don't get mad at society. Get mad at all the capitalists who purposely make unhealthy food easier to obtain and shoot up the price of healthy options, and make food synthetically addicting to which they share markets with the even worse pharmaceutical industry

[@lukelcs8934]

@Orga777 Well, the way you put it made it sound like you didn't think you should even try to get through to them. Just to be clear, I absolutely agree that people should be responsible for the mistakes they make, however not at the expense of their life, the point should be to try to save them, and not to make them suffer the consequences.

@William Braddell i started with diet, cutting back on starches and sugar, moving into a keto diet with intermittent fasting. As far as exercising went i had to start with just walking. After about 50 lbs or so lost i moved into low impact workouts, jane fonda was my go to. I hope that helps as a start, wish you or who your helping the best, its really hard to change but you can do it!!

I agree, I've been lucky enough to not have been affected weight-wise by fast food but I can feel the grease in my throat and feel disgusting after eating it.

[@krunkle5136]

Soda and fries are the main culprit. Eating an occasional mcmeal is fine. Protein and fat are good if you're paying attention to energy in out.

[@ToothpickMan11]

@@krunkle5136 Lol At least 70% of what I consume is soda and fries while the rest would be hamburgers or chicken, and I'm not kidding. I'll be damned if I'm gonna give up my soda and fries, but yeah its not the healthiest thing to be eating.

My first video of you. Congrats on your weigh loss man! I went from 180lbs to 135lbs and I feel so much better too! I work and go to school. Constantly on the go. Life was so much harder at almost 200lbs. Now I have the energy to get through my long days and I will never be fat again! Never!

The last clip is really sad, hope that dude breaks through that addiction. I remember I used to be chubby and I freaked out one day. I started the Keto diet and lost 30 or so pounds and still on Keto diet since June.

In a lot of European countries, healthy lifestyle choices are promoted and encouraged by the government. That is because people who are unhealthy put extra burden on the national healthcare system. In the US, private companies benefit from people's illness so they have no incentive to advocate for a healthy lifestyle.

To be fair in this instance I think it's really just a business serving a market. Can't really blame them for that. Now the fact that their is a market for them is what we need to focus on fixing. How, I have no idea tbh.

[@TijuanaBorderJumper]

Im overweight and working on it because it's affecting my breathing. Thanks for touching on the sensitive subject😑😢

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

I had my own fat acceptance scenario. I justified being obese by saying it was my age and everybody puts on weight in middle age. Then I woke up and did something about it. I did the 5:2 diet (eat normally 5 days, fast 2 days a week) and lost over 60 lb over several years. Then I discovered the whole-food plant-based lifestyle and I now eat as much as I want, and maintain a very healthy weight. I have no desire to eat the rubbish I used to eat. Nowadays my good food tastes better as my sense of taste improves. Anyone can shed the pounds if they put their mind to it. It is not so much dieting (which from experience I know doesn’t work - you end up see-sawing and gaining even more weight) as lifestyle change. Thank you for sharing your story and raising awareness of the dangerous trend to acceptance that morbid obesity is OK. It is NOT.

[@johnellis3383]

Rich I was very overweight until about 12 years ago, around 320 lb, and my family actually pushed this kind of garbage on me back then. They would constantly tell me things like "oh you're just chubby" or "It's ok to be a little big" and this would actually help to DISCOURAGE me from losing weight. What finally did it was when I went up a flight of stairs and had to lay down because I couldn't breathe and felt like my chest was going to explode, I was only 25 years old and had a 6 month old daughter! It scared me and thankfully I was able to lose a little over 100 lbs but this type of thing infuriates me. If people are told that this type of lifestyle is ok then they will be less likely to get healthy and that is such a shame, it's a waste of life. On a brighter note, I'm so happy to see you getting healthy! Keep at it Rich, I know how hard it can be to lose weight and keep it off but it is SO WORTH IT! Love your channel and your videos, god bless man.
