I don't think Jesus was 5'2".
I'm 6'1, which makes me even more awesome.

Statistically speaking for all of the following, portion sizes are also larger in America. Processed foods are also far less expensive in America, enabling them to be eaten more. Americans eat a lot more junk food. Americans exercise less. Americans for some reason have a much higher obesity rate.Not that simple either. Most European countries consume vast amounts more of animal fats than the United States. They eat loads of cheese, full fat dairy, butter, lard, offal.
The United States too mostly used these things BEFORE the obesity epidemic.

That's quite the false equivalency you're drawing.
Not really. Saturated fats get a lot of false blame for heart disease, which isn't understood entirely. Science know statins reduce the risk of heart disease with people that already have a history with it, but it doesn't seem to prevent heart disease. Stuff I've read suggests it's a combination of a defect in the body's ability to clear out pattern B LDL from the endothelium, and too much pattern B LDL.
Saturated fat results in increased pattern A LDL. Pattern B is more correlated with high blood sugar, obesity.
Your best bet to stave off heart disease is to exercise, keep a healthy weight, and eat something that keeps you healthy.
Americans are fat because they eat more is circular logic with 0 causation.
Exercise less? There was no fitness industry before the 1960s. Dr Kenneth Cooper coined the term Aerobics in 1968 because running the lose weight did not exist yet. People drove cars, worked, had TVs, and they were thin. Both food intake AND physical activity is up in the United States.
I've already linked to this post that demonstrates making lean animals obese using junk food, and conversely makes obese thin with bland.
No, circular logic would be be something like saying Dr. Phil is right because Dr. Phil says he is right.
Increasing caloric intake, or having higher fat meals causes weight gain. According to science.
When someone then fails to exercise to keep that weight off, they then don't burn off that fat. Nobody I know that eats more fat, protein, and sits around watching Netflix all day keeps weight off easier than people that eat more salad and less steak and exercise more.
If you eat more (increasing caloric intake) and exercise less (decreasing burning of said calories) then according to something called math you are at a disadvantage for weighing less.
It is circular logic.
It's like saying a murder victim died because a knife caused them to bleed out. No causation unless we are to argue the basic anatomy of the body, and why blood just can't pour out while not dying.
Likewise hunger doesn't just happen. It's controlled by the brain, according to Science. This is a scientific fact. You can argue about calories in and calories out, but it doesn't explain why this process was self regulated healthily by the majority of people until very recently in very few countries.
Science doesn't work with selection of anecdotal evidence. I've already given you controlled trials and observational evidence that conflicts with what you're saying. In Science, this must be explained for even a hypothesis to survive.
Totally agree. Calories are only one part of the equation. The bigger part of the equation are the metabolic signals and when a person feels satiated.
Case in point: a person can eat an equivalent caloric amount of sucrose/fructose and never feel full compared to a person eating the equivalent in pure sugar. Actually, I don't think a person can actually eat that much sugar in one sitting because your body will stop you pretty quickly.
I don't know why it's so hard to communicate what I'm saying. It's like people in countries like the United States have never known natural satiety. Feeling full and not eating more after reaching a caloric intake needed to maintain a healthy weight. I guess our food industry is so bad that this idea seems unnatural and that a constant battle with calorie counting and spreadsheets are required to compensate for some innate biological flaw to overeat.
I never understood people who say it's JUST calories in/out.
Say my BMR is 1800.
If I eat 2300 calories of broccoli a day, I will have the same exact results as if I eat 2300 calories of Hershey bars a day?

Lock her in room, feed her only celery, continue for 2 mounts.
This! She probably gained some muscle as well.Just tell her to stick with it. 2 weeks without losing anything is not a big deal.
This! She probably gained some muscle as well...
id probably delete the last bit of that i i were you. Imagine that is bannable
FTFYThis! She probably gained some muscle as well.
Also, she's a human, therefore probably snacking and thinking 'it doesn't count' because again, a human.
Protip:She's probably burning fat and gaining muscle. Protip: Muscle weighs more.
FTFY
I don't think exercise makes you lose weight, per se, but going long periods of time with little exercise is devastating to your body in all kinds of ways. She also needs to be eating way more fruit and veggies. Lots of great fiber and nutrients to be had.
The people that are out of shape typically aren't capable of the type of workouts that would make you lose weight quickly. For example, if you ran a 30 mile marathon you would only lose about a pound.You might have to explain this one to me... your body burns calories/energy due to increased activity, energy burned means weight lost.
Unless you mean the buildup of muscle counters the loss of weight but that is why "scales" are broken. You should be more worried about your physique than some damn number
It isnt something you do FOREVER dumbass. It is something one should do if they want to get a better idea of how much they are putting into their bodies. Most people couldnt show you a serving of cereal, or eyeball a serving a peanut butter.
It doesnt matter how GOOD the foods are for you if you're still putting too much of them into your body. Most people do not know what actual servings look like. You are an ignorant ass.
