people will do anything to avoid eating a healthy diet and exercising. I lost 120lbs in just over 2 years from walking and eating low carb real food.
Once again, carbs are not the problem. Italian and French people eat tons of carbs and are way healthier than Americans
The easiest way to boil down weight loss is calories in calories out. If you are in a surplus, you will in most cases gain weight (with some deviance based on genetics and other bodily factors). Lots of carbs is fine if you have a lot of calories out. European people usually have walkable cities, and the infrastructure there promotes lots of calories out on a day to day basis. America is a lot more car centric. The average american has less calories out because walking/cycling is uncommon in most of the US. Coupled with the standard caloric dense american food, it's easy to see how we are struggling with an obesity problem.
Low carb is just one way to cut down on how many calories you intake. Nothing wrong with it, and there are obviously many other ways to go about it.
Your entire comment, which is correct btw, is agreeing with my point that carbs are not the problem
Plus, personal anecdote -- carbs don't curb my hunger as quickly as protein and fat do. On a heavy protein day, I snack little to nil.
Thats accurate. Carbohydrates are much more easily broken down to its simple states, while proteins require more to be broken down to amino acids, so it makes you feel full longer. Fibers are also another way to stay feeling full. They're not digestible, so it takes up space and makes you feel full without adding calories.
Yes, but there is a difference between grains and refined sugar and high glucose corn syrup.
I agree. I don't think my homemade bread with 4 ingredients is a problem
Congrats! It’s not easy! I dropped 60 lbs the same way. It’s the only thing that works long term since you have to retrain your body and mind, learn new habits, and build interest in maintaining it.
I lost 40 without making any new habits other than weighing in daily with an app that estimates my caloric balance over the last two weeks. Turns out that I didn't need big changes to diet and exercise to get into a persistent decline, though I've lost another 15 since starting hormone therapy
That's sort of what Ozempic does though. It reduces the desire to eat large amounts of unhealthy food.
If those things reduced people's weight in a reasonable time frame then they would do that.
Don't expect slaves to have the time, money, and energy to spend hundreds of hours to be an attractive weight.
lol
Keep ignoring the reasons people use drugs and getting mad at the drugs i guess lol
I'm so mad!
😂
And people will do anything to avoid addressing the simple fact that human bodies aren’t designed to lose weight. Decent folks don’t give a fuck about superfluous anomalous nonsense like this.
They aren’t designed they’re evolved, but that’s not important right now.
Actually, it is important. The reason being that that’s not what that word means. People who deserve the death penalty love to deny it, but human beings simply are not designed to lose weight.
