Oh, which Washington D.C. youth hostel was it? I stayed at Hostel International 3 years ago when I backpacked D.C. I was within a 6-7 minute walk of 2 markets. Bost were not overly expensive. Had all the staples I could want and far cheaper than eating at D.C. fastfood places. Staples such as rice and beans. Yes, two…

Yup... then the ultimate irony is many then get on a treadmill to walk.... fml...🤦♂️

Agreed old man, but it hurts some peoples fee fee's when you tell them that. Some people blame the old food pyramid and FDA recommendation of the 80's for some of the issues we have. Had people actually followed the guidelines in spirit and word, I don't think we would be in the place we are in today. Now we a pretty color…

I am truly hopeful that this might encourage insurance companies to start covering the new class of glp1 agonists. I think they hold the most promise of all the drugs at the moment. Unfortunately now, they are out of the reach of many folks. I think they could help bridge the gap between lifestyle and weight loss surgery.

No doubt that walking in a larger city is easier. Compared to Japan, America is far more spread out. I live in a rural area, and for me to walk to the store would be nearly 9 miles round trip. So, we have a car culture. In a more urban environment, Japanese walk to public transport, to the market... ect ect. Yes, there is…

Japan is a country I know some about their dietary patterns. Historically and current time. The traditional Japanese diet is based on starches (I.E rice, potatoes) , beans, pickles, and small amounts of animal products. While there has been some encroaches of a more affluent western diet, many still eat a far more…

Tracks well with the data that rising affluence increases obesity..... maybe because people start abandoning their dietary patterns? @wunderkindking .... I am never going to say that people should seek help. It will help some people. Though, I think we can look into our ancient past and see how people dealt with emotions.…

Come again? disingenuous? ummmm.... that meal that I put out there had 22g of protein. Average 140lbs person needs 56 grams of protein a day per USDA guidelines or 0.4g/lb. 3 meals of that nature would more than meet the guidelines. now fat at .32g per lb that would be about 45gs. So 3 meals of this nature would only be…

1.Cheaper? well the cheapest 10 piece nugget I could find was BK at $1.49 + tax. So $1.60 for 452 calories. Cost per calorie,$0.00351. 2 servings of lentils, one of rice, and 2 frozen broccoli, all from Wal-Mart, $0.74 for 440 calories. Cost per calorie, $0.0016. So does not compute. 2. Some people say being obese is not…

Mental health is a big issue. There is some overlap. I will not deny this, but for some people, this is not the case. I think that for many people, its not psychological per se, but brain and evolution issues. Now, while we obesity prior to 1980, why have we seen a skyrocketing of it after that time? Did people just start…

Eating relatively "healthy", does not have to be overly expensive or time consuming. I get that there are some issues with availability in certain "food deserts", but that's one of the reasons I want to see greater incentives to outlets that will go into such areas. Beans, rice, grains and frozen veggies are not hyper…

Oh no momma-bird.... they are really really different. I've worked with people with MH issues. Some people that have high adiposity just like the way they live and see no need to change. (my old self) There are some that claim they eat their emotions. Ok, I get that, but what are they eating when they do? I'm going to…

I think it's a start, I honestly don't think it goes far enough. I think it needs to take a more of the fierce antismoking campaigns we have seen since the 70's. It has actually been marginally successful. The amount of smokers has dropped quite a bit. Start showing the the graphic pictures of diabetic amputations, the…

I have been thinking the same thing. I have tried to understand the Fat Acceptance community for a while. Most will not even engage, and the ones that do are often just full of venom. Complete denial of research that contradicts their ideas.

This is the basic plan for a week I wrote for a guy who was trying to "lean up". I had to transcribe it to MFp, because I had it saved in PDF form. He was a 220lbs, 5'9" ,semi active, 28 y.o. male. Fiber was high for him. He told me the first 2 weeks he went like crazy. Then after a few weeks, he started pooping 2 times a…

Give me lots of poops over constipation any day! We take out buttholes for granted.... until they decide to go on strike...... **edit** maybe this is how we are supposed to poop. Most Westerners are eat far too little fiber and have BM's that are always hard or runny. We have a medium gut. We have room for plant fibers to…

Easier said than done good sir... Pardon the American colloquialism, some of us are bat spit crazy.... lol Yes. Wow, what 3 years and 26lbs can do! Not 100%, but better. Op, why a 20.1 bmi? Why not a 25bmi? hell, or 26? Sorry, had to do the conversion to Imperial, yes we are heathens here, and you lost 77lbs. Most…

Good to see you around as well ma'am. Just getting out of MFP exile... Something about being a "dick" to people who are full of *kitten* ;) ..... Send me a message, we'll catch up.

Currently listening to a lecture by Dr. John Speakman, about the dual intervention hypothesis of body fat settling range.

I can agree that the convenience food industry is not completely to blame. People can make the same kinds of foods at their own homes, using cheap, easy to get ingredients. Where we can get in trouble is, when they are available everywhere, with little effort to obtain, at a low cost. I suggest looking at optimal forging…

agreed, I failed to think of it as the season. you would think we would use the "rational" part of our brains for this, but I suspect that using the more "primitive" part of our brains is far easier for some.
