Like it or not San Antonio is full of super fat disgusting people

[poop]

To be fair, finding healthy food in the US is a pain. The supermarkets are full of cheap processed food everywhere. I used to buy everything at wholefood and it's like buying food in a pharmacy, ing carrots are as expensive as a box of advil.All the stuff around doing sports, walking is pissing in the ocean if you cannot find healthy food for a reasonable price. And I'm not talking about junk food restaurants...dear god finding a healthy restaurant is like finding skinny people in San Antonio.

There are TONS of healthy options in the US, even in san antonio. The problem is an utter lack of exercise, and complete ignorance of nutrition. Its a cultural thing. Most people here in SA not only dont care at all about what they eat, they openly have contempt for any food they percieve as 'healthy'. It is so engrained in these people what 'normal food' is, that they refuse to even consider a better alternative. The hilarious irony is that what they consider normal food isnt even 'food' at all...just a cheaply put together compilation of articifial sweetners, additives and lab-made chemicals...while the 'healthy food' they shun is actually real food

Saturated fat has more to do with heart disease than being the "cause" of obesity. Calories are the cause of obesity, regardless of where they come from.

Quoted for truth.

How hard of a concept is it for people to understand that food is fuel that gives your body energy. If your body has too.much fuel and your body isn't using it as energy, your body will then begin to stockpile it. That is the fat in your body.

You could eat nothing but fatty foods and lose weight. , that's the keto diet.

Moderation and exercise/using the fuel as energy are key to losing weight.

If you burn more calories than you take.in, you lose weight. If you take in more calories than you burn.off, you gain weight. It's that simple.

Beans and Rice are inexpensive. I don't eat any saturated fats. That is what will get you fatter as quick as anything. Problem in SA, most of the food is riddle with it. Too many restaurants and fast food joints. Who wants to cook healthy there.

Go to the Farmers Market, whatever city you live. Its usually local people who have small farms and sell their produce for a much cheaper price than Whole Foods.

Farmers Market are nice but not that easy to find and it's not a very flexible option.

Fast food restaurants are awful but so called big chains like apple bees, chili, olive garden... are in the same vein of processed cheap food. I discovered while living in the US they add ing sugar in the bread, salad, sauces... there is sugar everywhere, you cannot escape. I'm skinny as and I took 8 kg in 1 year in the US which never happened to me before, finding healthy food became a major concern... that is crazy. I never experimented that elsewhere in the world. The food business in the US is totally ed up.

Even organic food is ed up, you can find like 10 different kinds of organic chicken: the one who saw the light enhanced with drugs, the one who saw the light but raised in cages with no drugs, the one who had space to run but enhanced with drugs etc etc and finally the "normal" one fed with corn, outside cost was crazy...

Obesity issue will never ever be solved in the US if there is no solution to fast food and finding healthy food cheap.

This topic is kinda stale tbh didn't need another one of these. Cool story bro

(I agree with you though)

Can your bull generalizations not be typed out like a 5th grader in comp lab?

you Poop. Big is beautiful.

Also: San Antonio's obesity rate dropped below the Texas average.

I understand you pov but look at my example, I don't do a lot of exercise anymore almost nothing, I have 0 knowledge on nutrition, 0. I never ever had an issue with my weight, sugar or fat level in my blood... Food has never been a concern for me. In the US I followed the same kind of diet, level of exercice than in France, Brazil, Spain, all the places I lived and I took 8 freaking kilos (18 pounds) in one year. I moved from US and lost all in 3 months following the same exact habits than in the US.

Food industry is totally ed up

Saturated fat has more to do with heart disease than being the "cause" of obesity. Calories are the cause of obesity, regardless of where they come from.

Saturated Fats will get you fat fast. I'll eat a pint of ice cream w/ no fat just high calories and you eat a 16 oz bag of Lays chips (high saturated and medium calorie) a day for a month. I guarantee you will be put on more pounds than me in a shorter period of time.

Normal Calories burn easier than ones from saturated fats. Problem with people in SA, they eat too much saturated fats along with Calorie intake. And their calories consist of crap like High Fructose Syrup and stuff.

You can have a high daily Calorie intake. But if it comes from natural fruits, meats and veggies, you won't get fat. You might be a little stout, but you won't be fat. But you change that to junk food (same calorie intake), you will look like the Bobcats Diaw as oppose to the Spurs version of Diaw.

Is there any particular reason why you care so much about whether a person is fat? I couldn't care less. It's a person's choice.

Care to make a money wager on that? I get to choose the ice cream and potato chips.

What the is a "normal" calorie?

You can have a high daily Calorie intake. But if it comes from natural fruits, meats and veggies, you won't get fat. You might be a little stout, but you won't be fat.

Anyone that doesn't know about calories and fat/protein/carbs, disregard what this person is saying. Thanks.

You're not a die ian. Please stop.

A calorie is a calorie. No matter the source.

I bet you go around saying muscle weighs more than fat.

It's self projecting and self hating. Or maybe an obese man put a finger in his butt once.

Calorie vs. Fat Calories. Fat Calories get you fatter quicker than Calories from carbs and sugars. Natural Carbs and Sugars digest easier than processed calories and sugars (high fructose syrup, etc.).

So in short, saturated fats (the worse for you) and processed calories will get you fatter than healthy natural fats and calories.

Really, just go read an exercise science book. My wife preaches this kind of stuff to me all the time from all the health magazine and websites she reads. And my sister does holistic advising on the side. So I hear about this stuff all the time from them.

San Antonio is just too hot to do any physical activity outdoors for 7 months out of the year.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

The fact you quote Billy Madison as a response, tells me all I need to know about how much you care to educate yourself and where you get your reasoning. I guess that is why people from SA continue to stay fat.

From April to September? It was in the 70s and low 80s all of last week. Ernie Johnson tweeted yesterday that it was a beautiful day as he prepared for a run along the Riverwalk. It's the middle of May btw.

You may have lived here but you don't know wtf you're talking about.

There is some truth to this. Some types of foods are more difficult to digest/breakdown.

So in short, saturated fats (the worse for you) and processed calories will get you fatter than healthy natural fats and calories.

Based on which studies?

Really, just go read an exercise science book.

I'll stick with my Science books (no modifier necessary) thanks.

They need to inform themselves a bit better. They're on the right track but have the wrong idea about how things work.

I laughed. But I always laugh at these lines.
