Eat a lot of fibers. You will feel full so fast you won't be able to eat so much. Everyone can do it, but yea all this **** food that is being sold with so much sugar and/or bad fats...
Fat people blame food marketing. If that was the problem, then everyone would be fat. The problem is that we eat too much of bad stuff. Me included.
Dude. I don't know why I even participate in threads with you. I get what your saying. The marketers aren't in charge of what crap you put into your own mouth. You are. No matter what they say or do. You are still in charge of your life and choices.
Do I put my new iPhone 6 in the microwave because someone told me to? If I did, who is to blame for my smoldering useless phone? Them? NO! I am.
Yes, this is actually happening: http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/UVOCasLT9z8/story01.htm

The problem is convince and cost for people under a certain income threshold. Rich people eat healthier and generally are healthier in part because the buying options for them are far superior.

Onto the actual topic at hand, I think if you reach a point in your life where you become Obese? It's your own fault. You ate that much to put yourself in that position, no-one forced you to eat and eat and eat and eat, it was a personal choice.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothyroidism
I just want to clarify that I am a relatively fit human being, I go to the gym 3 times a week and maintain a healthy diet, I do this because I want to feel good, look good and above all - be healthy.

A lot of people tend to comfort eat don't they? When they're sad, depressed, lonely, unhappy what have you, that's a dangerous road. I do understand that not everyone has the same metabolism and that's also a factor, but the fact remains when you're eating nothing but ****ty food (fast food etc) and drinking soda/pop all the time, you have no-one to blame but yourself.
I have a lot of respect for fat/overweight people who want to change and get in the gym and do so.
Hard work is ALWAYS rewarded.

Yes fragility , a fat person is capable of making decisions..
But the discussion here is the fact that Food companies do stack the ODDS against you..
Starting from a young age, bombarding kids with very catchy information pushing them towards unhealthy choices..
It's fine and great that YOU made it out solid.. but the world's about more than oneself, and if we consider society, of which we live in..
There is indeed a need to re-evaluate the type of informational assertiveness a private company is allowed to impression upon the youth.

Oh I do apologise, I thought it was just an open discussion on what we think about obesity as a generic subject and what not, I must have jumped the gun there.
I do agree with what you're saying in regards to the food companies though, enticing you with all these lovely foods, fancy logos, fancy advertisements, you don't realise until later (after you're hooked) what was inside and sometimes by that time, it's too late.
Damn.

OK, little background on me: when I was 16 I got prescribed some medications that resulted in my gaining a ton of weight that I carried around until about 23. At my heaviest I clocked in at 367lbs. Over the following 2 years I had virtually no excess income, and held a very active job (concert security) and was able to get my weight all the way down to 169 (at my lowest.) That time frame I was probably eating the least healthy I ever had. Every meal was $1 Banquet frozen meals or Top Ramen for nearly the entirety of those 2-3 years because I had a minuscule food budget and that was all I was able to afford per week. After a while I got sick of it and started only eating once a day, and working on my feet chasing drunks for about 10hrs every day. That's how I lost the weight, not eating and staying active. If I ate 3 square meals of that and led a sedentary lifestyle I would gain much of the weight back. In fact after leaving that job and going off to school that's exactly what happened, and I gained about 100lbs back over the past 4 years eating much the same diet.
It's actually depressing me right nowthat I've been eating such crap for the past 8 years.

Oh I feel you there my friend, personally, if you're happy in your own skin? then who honestly cares, I mean, I'm a firm believer of taking care of yourself, but if you want to eat a lot and maybe be more on that heavier side? who am I too judge?
Everyone leads their own path.

Let's say you live in America...
America is what it is because our Dollar speaks...
Our Dollar speaks, because we have Nuclear missiles, and a strong military..
If obesity continues, fewer and fewer fit people will exist..
This will be crippling to the military, not only are they experiencing a dearth of applicants due to economic shifts, they will now have to deal with people who can't join up due to crippling diseases..
With a weak occupational force (soldiers on the ground) or the lack of one, America will not be able to impose its will on foreign nations that we wish to Borrow money and resources from.. (middle east)..
THEN the Dollar's value collapses because other countries sees our weakness..
THEN China says.. hey, my military is 4 million people.. suddenly the Yuan rises..
Again I say this to you.. Obesity IS your problem.. if you're ok with Learning Chinese.. I guess it's fine.. but if you want to stick to the language you already know... Obesity Matters.

I would hazard to guess that it's because people in very cold climates tend to put on more weight for insulation purposes. As to the Southern States, I blame it on the heat. Hot and humid weather tends to make people feel lethargic. Combine that with a typical diet of fried foods, and people get fat. That's my guess, anyway...

And for a short time every year in southern Alaska is hot as hell and humid as **** I'm talking worse than the tropics. The ground is basically rotting tundra, peat mud and mosquito larvae. I forgot to mention the smell, god the smell. Other than that its a great place to live.

*****, please. While I will admit that Juneau can get hot at around 90 degrees, it ain't nothing on the Gulf Coast. During the summer, 90 degrees is low to mild. Temps topping the triple digits are not uncommon.

I go by the logic if you're active and or swimming like I do for two hours a day, you can eat whatever you want, as long as you don't eat too much of it.
Like cookies, chips, and such.
1. Exercise on a regular basis
2. Eat what you like
but don't eat too much at one sitting.
Fat parents with fat children should be convicted of child abusecan't you see that eating fastfood instead of cooking healthy for their offspring is in their genes
The food industry wants people to enjoy their food the best, so they are saturated in sugar, salt, and fat.
Those three key things are what tells us "hey, this is good", but they are also terrible for you in excess (with fat being supposedly the least harmful if it's the right kind of fats).
My solution for healthier eating in general was to get hooked on raw vegetables and fruit. If you reduce your salt/sugar intake, you become more sensitive to it, and you enjoy healthier foods more than the less healthy ones.
It's like being freed from a vicious cycle. Being able to grab a bowl of kale, grape tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, etc... for a snack or lunch is great.

To be more clear, it isn't really hooked on in the sense that would apply to most addictions.
I've just found that once you get used to the good stuff (and I mean cutting the rest out completely or it doesn't work), it actually becomes difficult to eat the bad stuff.
For example, I used to be able to eat a crate of chicken McNuggets. I haven't eaten fast food (apart from Subway) for years, and the idea of it now makes me feel sick. In fact, even Subway tastes of salt now.
Once you're used to the taste and feeling of eating well, it's more difficult to eat the bad stuff.
Still takes endless willpower to avoid things like ice cream.... Oh how I adore ice cream.. :-X

lol wow, this happened across town and i didnt know? wow
--
might as well rant about this.
As a person that has struggled with weight (skinny to fat to skinny to fat to skinny to fat to mostly skinny to really really fat to really fat) I can say that if you don't live an active lifestyle it becomes harder and harder to lose weight the older you get regardless of abandoning that crap junk food america is addicted to, which I have at this point. I was mostly skinny throughout my childhood, my parents were skinny, my grandparents were skinny. but then the yo yo happened in high school and early college where i would give a **** about my diet and didn't give a **** about my diet. I saw fat kids with fat parents during my childhood and thought it would never happen to me.
After a high school struggle, things were going well for me in late college until I got a job that involved sitting all day 6 years ago. I kept the diet from my active days and the weight went from manageable to a point where you are incapable of doing things with your active friends. I stopped exercising until recently and now exercise becomes so painful do to the damage I did to my body that people wonder if I am about to die there at the gym. For skinny people who just think, oh he just needs to get a treadmill and it's as simple as that really don't understand the irreversible damage you do to your body once you are obese. those people who exercise their way from 300+ lbs to <200lbs go through so much pain its another accomplishment that they should be recognized for. Its most likely why some choose surgery which ironically puts more damage on your body. A diet helps but you end up hitting a wall where you either have to take things to the extreme when it comes to a diet or start being active and exercise. Right now im eating mostly healthy but exercise seems to be the only way i am losing weight. I am standing by that it is impossible to get out of morbid obesity on diet alone without getting active and exercise, losing weight sitting down with an extreme diet could possibly damage your body more and you'll end up with so much skin.
Once people get to the weight I have gotten to or worse, its never simple to get out of obesity, you are essentially put into situation that becomes so hard to get out of that most give up, go to the grocery store, go to McDonald's, and make things worse. Pick pain and struggle or eat oreos and play video games and die sooner, obviously in America you see what people choose.
so i guess i'm saying word to the wise, don't allow yourself to ever stop being active, if you get a job that you sit all day, ****ing run before work, do stuff daily, or you will end up like me with all the people who have been fat their entire lives, nobody will know the difference. And stop feeding kids **** and get them outdoors, sure dont shame your kids into being skinny but also dont ****ing make things worse.
