The key is to avoid high calorie, low nutrition foods and substitute that with the opposite. Dr. Joel Fuhrman is someone you need to check out if you're interested
in improving your health naturally. My wife & I have been following the basics of this eating lifestyle for almost 15 years. It's made a world of difference in our lives. https://www.drfuhrman.com/

Most processed food is junk, made with the right combination of fat, salt and sugar which, over time, becomes highly addictive.

FYI, my personal BMI is 22.6, however, I exercise daily and have an athletic build. Muscle tissue is 'heavier' than fat, so, in my case, the BMI is somewhat misleading.
My wife's BMI is 22.

Pupils: body-shaming policies and resources.

I'm probably repeating myself; oh well.
I'm older than some of you guys and I can say that growing up fat chicks were rare to see.
Today a girl is "thick", but back in my salad days we would call her fat.

Exercise has health benefits, but diet is sufficient for weight loss.

Disagree. If you cut back on calories alone, your body will slow down the metabolism in response. That is why when people go off the diet and back to their old habits they gain even more weight.

Agree with headset on this. You can eat what you want with some movement and not gain weight. Calories don't much matter until you're sitting at a desk job all day. However it happens you need to at least be walking 3-4 hours a day in my opinion. Could be taking the dog for a walk. Doing yard work instead of hiring someone. Walk to the mailbox instead of picking it up from the car. If you can walk to do errands do that. At work if you're given breaks just go walk for those 15 minutes or whatever it is. You don't need to be pumping iron or running a marathon. I've seen plenty of fatties complete marathons.

After WWII roughly, we started sitting on our asses more than moving or standing. The other element of moving is you're not eating or snacking. And as far as diet goes if you're going to snack make it something filling. Not processed chips or other crap. We just peeled all our boiled Easter eggs we colored as snacks. Grab something like that or make a batch of boiled eggs every Sunday for the week. Roll up some ham and cheese (no bread) and have that for lunch. Keep bananas around. Then eat whatever you want for dinner besides processed foods or fried food.

Diet doesn't much matter if you're moving. You could eat pizza every night if you wanted. During the day is when people eat the shittiest. Going out for lunch and getting a 1,200 calorie fried chicken sandwich doesn't help. AND then eating a shit dinner. It's not a diet per se but snack healthy and limit yourself to one shit meal a day or less. Eat the food you want one time a day and that's it.

Cutting back or not drinking helps as well, though that's more for beer drinkers and sugary mixed drink drinkers. Again though if you're moving, you're likely not drinking. I think you get the theme.

Oh, and pick up a sport if can. Even if you suck at it or don't know it. Probably popular for you CA guys or at least Southern CA but volleyball is a blast. Sand/beach volleyball specifically. Moving and running in sand is quite the workout and fun if you're competitive. Play basketball. Hell throw darts. Play ping pong. Ponged last night and there's only one fat(ish) friend. We're all pretty lean. Shuffleboard. Frisbee games. There are so many low impact games you can play and you're on your feet moving. And they're fun. Don't think you need to be a gym rat to get thin. That's for toning and looking muscular.

After reading that I'm guessing that literally tens of millions of Americans could theoretically not eat for a year.

If so, we have found our candidates for that Mars colony. No eating or crapping for a year would solve some logistics issues for the long flight.

ntermittent Fasting 16:8. Eat anything you want during 8am-4pm but stop eating after 4pm and only water/low carb drinks like bodyarmor or coconut water.
Seems harder than it is. You get used to it quickly. Not only do you lose weight but you also detox.

Yeah, stop eating around 6 pm, and drink ice water with lemon as far as detox.

Only in America will people go to a fat lady to lose weight. AND they even pay her.

I dont eat after 7-8pm and eat lunch around 11am no breakfast except on weekends with family.

Slightly off the subject, today I went to the Palm Beach mall for something at the Apple Store.

I was amazed at the fat young women here and there.

When I was their age, it was unusual to see a fat girl.

They're doomed; a girl who's fat before 21 isn't going to slim down later, and only a loser would hang around her.

Well, here is some hope. I went to Water Country last week and lots of young women walking around in bikinis that looked like a 21-year-old should look.

Great ideas both. I try not to eat until 1-2 and not after 9PM. 8 hour window. I try to get at least 14-15 hours between the last meal and the first. 16-18 would be better. I've heard great things about lemon water but forget everytime to grab one at the store.

For fucks sake Delta do you have to hire fat stewardeses now? Lady was easily 200+ she bumped into everyone every time she went up and down the aisles. Knew flight was going to suck when I saw DEI on descriptuon of Delta on the plane door. She had the worse possibe body for job her stomach and ass both looked pregnant.

Sounds dangerous, like if she walked to the back of the plane she could cause a grave nose up situation.

I don't know how people can be fat in certain occupations. That clearly means you are eating like absolute shit. Flight attendants are on their feet quite a bit depending on how many flights they have that day. Then factor in walking around airports like Denver where you could easily walk over a mile to get out of the place depending on gate assignment. So lack of activity shouldn't be an excuse.

Booger says

That is just a dumb ass marketing strategy. Reality is lower class folks think Red Lobster is a "nice" restaurant. That's the element you're going to get for those types of promotions. Not being classist, weightist or racist, but it's just fact. They're going to get the shrimp and not other higher priced items or drinks, which usually is the goal of that type of shit. That's why most all you can eat buffets generally fail after a while. Plus the food is shit. Surprised RL was that desperate to get revenue and tried that gimmick.

It's like the classic bar doing 0.25¢ wing night and we all know who shows up for that.... and they don't tip, so staff is pissed. Bad business. Make good food and charge an appropriated price so as not to bring the fat fucks out of the jungle who lose you money. It doesn't bother me, but some people get freaked out too when all they see is eyeballs and teeth when they walk into a business. They will leave.

RC2006 says

The real job of the stewardess is for safety, that is, assisting the passengers in an emergency. That justifies a flight physical and work standards to qualify a flight attendant to actually be able to help passengers down a slide or out an emergency door.

Booger says

If that's not photoshopped you cannot have people that large on planes. It's not really a debate or conversation. I'm not fat by any measure, just tall and usually around 210. On smaller planes I've been asked to move to balance the weight out in the plane. Not joking. If I was a pilot I just tell that fat fuck to get off the plane. That's 300 all day.

Airline seats are not comfortable for sure. But if you can't fit in them you should probably get the message that you're fat. A huge fat fuck. There's also this thing called first class or business glass depending on airline with larger seats. Cleary you have the money to shove copious amounts of food down your fat fuck mouth. Get the higher priced ticket with the bigger seat. I'd like to know what Senator would even engage in this conversation let alone try and do anything about it. There's a simple solution. You're a huge fat fucking fatty... stop eating.

There is fixing to be a lot more fatsos in inappropriate, unsafe, positions. Obesity is becoming a 'protected class' in many places, Washington State, NYC, so far. They will soon be screeching for 'representation', you will be getting slow, lumbering, waitresses, and the bottom-feeding legal sharks will have another trough to feed at.

1)Obese
2)Healthy Weight
3)Under Weight

Those are the only options. You guys make it seem like people with the perfect ideal BMI never get sick never has any health problems, and don't make up the plurality of the Adult SD from the clot shot.

In the category you guys call "Obese" there used to be Chubby, Pudgy, or a bit of a gut. They live to be over 80 just like the "Healthy Weight".
While I don't strike an Adonis Physique, until the fags took over, Obese was never a word that could be used to describe me. I blame the Kellogg's cereal commercials in the 80's getting everyone to obese over pinching more than an inch being over weight. Now if you can pinch an inch you're obese.
How's everyone's grocery bill going? Worrying about people's BMI that's not your will do that to you.

Tenpoundbass says

Yep, the overweight paradox. People, esp. Men, with BMI's in the 20s live as long or longer than "average weight". Later and lesser terminal illnesses AND less prone to disease generally - so longer lived AND a better quality of life while living from less sickness. They also recover faster when hospitalized, be it for injury or infection or surgery. A small paunch is a good thing, especially if a middle aged paunchy guy still surfs, walks, does some physical activity versus a skinny sitter.

The pictures they're using is of mostly obese people, not overweight (BMI 21-29).

Southwest Introduces New C-17 Cargo Plane

Originally designed for military use, Southwest's new C-17 aircraft comes equipped with an 18-foot by 88-foot cargo area decked out with full-length floor rollers, reinforced titanium tiedown anchors, and a full-width hydraulic cargo door. With a max payload capacity of 170,000 pounds, the C-17 is more than capable of transporting an M1 Abrams battle tank, a Triton-class nuclear submarine, or your mom.

I really don't think most people realize how fat they are. I'm for sure overweight to a minor degree. I was down over the summer to lean/normal weight. 190 for 6'3". Back up to 210. Fuck. Whatever. You wouldn't call me fat if you saw me.

The people in the meme above are fat fucks. Obese to the 10th degree. You should have a neck. Your arms shouldn't be larger than my thighs. You shouldn't be red. Again, you should have a neck.
