Kim is so beautiful and she looks amazing. My oldest sister just passed away from a heart attack at 54. She was morbidly obese. Her death is another wake-up call for me to remain vigilant about my health. 54 is too young to die.

This is great information! Thanks to all the panelist for providing such a wonderful array of knowledge.

Stop making excuses about lack of good foods in the hood. We can drive over a hr to bring Gucci and Prada back to our neighborhood but won't drive 20 minutes to trader Joe's for healthier choices.

This information is fantastic. Even in the comments we can see the systemic factors are not obvious even to other black people

Thank you I really enjoyed this thorough information.

Taking personal responsibility, and not blaming another race, would be a great start.

Even more true today

Great video.

This is a prime example of the culture of "it's never my fault" and "zero personal responsibility". Your first point was black women tend to have higher levels of cortisol that causes weight gain. Assuming that is true, we know white women have higher rates of cortisol in their bodies than males of all races. Yet white women in the US have the lowest rates of obesity. Lack of access ? Gimme a break. There wasn't an obesity epidemic among black women in the 1960's and before. No one had a 12 pack of sodas in their fridge or a pantry full of honey buns and snack cakes. I'm old enough to remember when my town got it's first McDonald's. Today I can't even begin to count how many fast food restaurants are there. It's not the lack of access but rather the massively increased access to processed foods loaded with sugar and flour. This has affected every race and gender. I've lost 80 pounds since last year and now I'm at a perfectly healthy weight. I became fat because of the terrible terrible eating habits I had. Stop blaming everything else. It takes discipline and introspection to get healthy. It is you who chooses what you put in your body.

Every sista I see these days is almost 2X my size and I'm 6'0" and 195lbs. ACCOUNTABILITY is highly lacking, we're always looking to blame it on white people, if not then the system, and if that doesn't work then we resort to blaming the black men (oh the wanted us thick etc) ACCOUNTABILITY/RESPONSIBILITY is very much lacking in this conversation

Omg!! Are you guy’s seriously blaming racism for today’s obese black women!! Please stop it!! It’s ridiculous!!

A courageous conversation... seriously 😂😂 Does it not get embarrassing sometimes being a victim and blaming everything on others. You don't need to look at racism and gender discrimination to loose weight, you need to stop looking in the fridge and cupboard's. And exercise....that will never change..ever !!

You're going to hate me for saying this but stop making excuses for being fat! Cut your carbohydrates by half, eat smaller portions, stop the secret eating, cut out sugar and bread. Walk everyday, It's that simple.

How is racism an excuse for being obese, when 200 years ago most black people were thinner?

Black women don't age faster.

More excuses when will it stop

So what about all the Black Women that are not Stressed out and have no Racial discrimination problems and no mental Problems!. They just eat A lot Because they like to eat and are Greedy!.

Utter BS ... Eat LESS! It ain't rocket science. I do it every damn day.
