Once people realize how addicting it is and treat it like any other addiction, it's so easy to change. People also don't realize how much salt is in soda, fast food and junk food.

Chaos Clareon. That’s so awesome!

Good job. Keep it up. I find that only following people on Insta keeps me in line. I think i eat different than you, but i still have a goal in mind. Having pics of raw fruit n veg in my face all day, helps. Plus, i also feel accountsble for posting my papaya!

@@rawveganfruitarian7290 careful with following instagram "fitness gurus", a lot of that is false advertising also.

I feel the same way after giving a meat based diet a try; I can't go back to eating bread and drinking soda. Once you overcome it you realize how bad those foods made you feel and it only takes a couple weeks to lose those cravings.

Discovermyview

If carb heavy foods make you feel like that, feel proud that your body is programmed to run off of healthy foods instead of anything served at typical restaurants today.

Jimmy John's or Subway is not exactly a much healthier option, still a lot of carbs and sodium. The problem is that food shouldn't be used as a reward ever.

Employee luncheons are not an everyday thing. Obese employees have unhealthy eating habits and that fat has been cultivated for years. One employee luncheon a month wont do that even if they serve the must unhealthy foods. If a person eats healthy 5 days a week walks 30 to 40 mins 5 days a week and eats out on the weekends they wouldnt be overweight. What you do in your own time is the problem.

L A I know what you're saying buuuuttt..... Employers today make employees pay an additional fee for smoking, yet they don't do any advocating for choices that go into the vending machines, they don't stop providing donuts weekly, and at my work like I mentioned, they have meals that are pasta-heavy 2 to 4 times a month,where I work. Having SOME carbs are tasty, GOOD and can be healthy - _in moderation _ - . My complaint is when employers don't model and implement this in the food choices they make available to employees, when it would be relatively easy to do so AND it would be well received by most employees, in my opinion and experience.

Dawn In my opinion and experience, having a sub sandwich with a substantial serving of meat and veggies is much more balanced than a catered pasta dish that barely has any meat or cheese, that is just 95% noodles with some residual pasta sauce and a spot of meat and mozzarella here and there, served with breadsticks and barely a handful of lettuce as salad on the side. This is a problem in my workplace and other places I have worked. In my opinion. When this is served I feel better off if I don't eat it. And when my employer is so concerned everyday about production and meeting numbers, I don't understand why they don't have more thought behind what the effects of the food they serve as an incentive does to their employees ability to perform optimally.

A company that invests in its employees will have a loyal, happy workforce. If the company is inefficient, it will not survive, and all of the employees will be out of a job, which is bad for everyone. Pursuing efficiency by improving the quality of life of the employees is the best possible scenario.

Except that recent studies have shown wellness programs offer almost no benefit to the employee - and they give up a degree of privacy when they allow the company access to their private medical information.

Tell your college to shuv it up their arses!

Allow me to play devil's advocate to your premise... Let's say that after testing, the doctor sees that you love to eat gremiche (totally made up) and it is high in calories. The company may start feeling it has the right to tell you to stop eating gremiche, and check up on you to make sure you are not eating it. And, possibly, over time, fire you because you didn't do what the company felt was good for your health. Whether the company was right or wrong in the data about gremiche, the camel's nose is now in the tent.

When do you eat? I need to eat in the morning and in the evenings social eating is quite important, so I'm wondering where to cut the eating to...

@@Paulinemoke , I eat one hour a day in the evening. I started intermittent fasting by skipping breakfast. Then I progressed to having lunch around 2 or 3 in the afternoon after several months. When I got used to that, I then moved to just one meal a day. The key is to keep the hours of eating and consuming liquid calories to the smallest window that is tolerable. It gets easier with time.

Same here. My eating window is for a hour. 7-8pm. I'm doing OMAD. At first it's hard. You'll be hungry. But as the days go on, you don't get hungry. Your body adapts to it.

@@lauralarrabee7870 , I don't think the waiting helps. Exercise depletes glycogen from your liver so you can get into ketosis quicker.

Look at Dr. Berg's videos here on KZfaq. He has a lot of information on starting keto and intermittent fasting. I eat all my meals within an 8 hour window and have found this very effective and am achieving my goals. Good luck.

@@gonegirl4690 Speaking as a person that has lived in both the US and the UK I can tell you why the US is against a nanny state and the UK is for one. In the US when the government gets involved things get more time consuming, more expensive, less well run, and the number of hoops one has to go through to get anything done is exhausting. In the UK when the private sector takes over for the government things become more time consuming, more expensive, less well run, and the number of hoops... you get the idea. It is a fact that the US gov't is terrible at doing most things on time and on budget. That is why the private sector is so strong and why people don't want gov't interference. But in the UK the opposite is true. If you remove the gov't the prices skyrocket and what actually gets done plummets in numbers.

On top of that because the NHS covers the cost of surgeries you want fewer people with medical problems easy ways to do that is to use technology to cut down on personal injuries at work- so for example the US has many jobs where repetitive lifting of 40+ pounds is expected - thus creating numerous health problems. In the UK any item over 20 pounds is required by law to be lifted by machine. That in itself cuts down on health problems and injuries. You can scoff at how things are done there but they are for the betterment of UK society on the whole.

That contributes to it a lot. I honestly believe the system is rigged agaisnt the working class. If you go to a mid to low income city you will find more fastfood places than the suburbs, not to mention the supermarkets designed to tempt people. Imagine u walk into a supermarket after working a 10 hour shift and the first thing you see is a box chocolate cake or a ready to go pizza, most people will grab that and just go bc they are so tired.

Yes, people underestimate what stress does to us physically.

We get six weeks of holidays per year plus the necessary sick days.

Yes. I think one reason people eat more than they should, and the wrong things, is that they are so stressed out by their jobs. Grab something comforting and fast to eat, and you'll feel a little better, for the moment.

Always someone else's fault right

Lora, STUPID. The companies aren't forcing junk down their mouths. I am in a special position as a screen actor. We are constantly surrounded by some of the best food possible and some of the worst. Buffets eveywhere. I can choose to eat the bad stuff or the good stuff. So don't sit here and tell me it is the company's fault. The ugly fat fucks on the set eat all the crap processed food that is offered constantly. At home, I cook and don't keep processed food in the house

Rene T 😢💔😥😢💔😥😢💔😥😢💔😥😢💔😥

That happens at all companies rewards with crappy food. They want you healthy and then they feed you crap

Aallison K obesity is no more a “choice” then depression. Do people “do” things to both cause and worsen the “condition” same as depression yes. This still doesn’t make it a choice. No one chooses to be sick, hurt, obese, etc but many end up that way just the same. I’m not trying to pick a fight here but looking down upon people with issues is certainly not the way to bring them up out of their “condition” whatever it may be. At the end of the day no matter what is going on a person has to want something better for themself. I do applaud companies that are interested in making life better for their employees, however most miss the mark completely. I have worked construction in the mud with the men. They are hard working compassionate people that care deeply about their job and families. Unfortunately for them they spend so much energy on everyone else they save little for themselves. So for years on a daily basis I watched as they indulged on gas station junk food just for that moment of pleasure as it was all the peace they found in a day.

Aallison K I am not disagreeing that many are lazy. I am simply saying the root cause of obesity is not “laziness” or “poor choices “. To tell an overweight persons to just “eat healthy” is about as bad as telling an alcoholic to just put down the bottle. There are underlying reasons, reasons not excuses, as to why people crave and indulge all the while fully aware what they are doing will only exacerbate the issue. I didn’t say we need to condone or “like” what they are doing but reminding them how disgusting they are and berating them for being as they are serves no purpose to better the situation for anyone.

Agreed!

+Scott Staggs: Also in this program they stated that it took a few years to show the effect. When money runs out, people run to short term effective remedies, neglecting what it will do in the long run. Besides that, maybe there was no-one actually presenting the facts in the company. Also: you can't really blame employers for hiring more healthy, normal sized people, now can you? Once they have figured out what it costs to hire an obese person (in average that is), they will naturally go for the slimmer person. For it is true that most obese people just seem to get less done in a day, than people with a normal weight. That is apart from the extra lost sick days. Is that a photo of you? How well are you doing on losing your extra weight?

Two things can be true, at the same time. And if corporations lose money, those losses are passed to the consumer.

ask your doctor if you have the AD-36 virus. It's a virus that causes weight gain. Google it. Also, increase your exercise routine if you haven't already.

Well, they are a*******. Go away Vegan Troll.

Weight Watchers is 💩, that’s why.

@@flanagamer 1 banana is 100 calories and it's zero points according to weight watchers.

@Jack Walters I care. It was kind of him to offer.

+Ask me Ask me Eat breakfast if you want to loose weight. It's the most important meal of the day. Try to eat a light dinner instead of fasting and replace that with a healthy hearty breakfast

you are not eating enough and your body goes into survival mode, storing fat to keep you going... if you keep it up you will eventually drop the weight, but also develop an eating disorder and the minute you stop this routine you'll gain it all back. So, here are some tips: eliminate all sugars and trans fat, eat breakfast (2 toasts and coffee for example), make sure that half of your plate in all your meals is composed of vegetables, eat two pieces of fruit a day, and snack something light every three to four hours (some nuts, a yougurt, a fruit). i wish you the best!

+Eliana Scuderi: That is good advice! Hope he/she is taking it. Or someone else who reads along. For if you see what people are eating and what the portion size is, you have to do remarkably much to burn that off. And indeed: skipping meals will push the body into survival mode and it is absolutely not sustainable in the long run. It might be that he/she is building some muscle power, which weighs more than fat, so he/she might lose fat, which is easily seen when measuring the waistline. In the long run that will help a bit too for muscles use more energy than fat tissue. When eating bread, pasta and rice always go for the whole grain and brown variants. I personally was helped much by leaving sugary things out and also half of all bread, pasta and rice. Instead I ate a lot more vegetables and a lot more fruits. Got my weight down real nice without feeling hungry. For as soon as a felt hungry I would go for a bean salad or something like that, which filled me up real nice, without the spike and fall in my blood sugar levels, that caused food cravings.

So what is said about intermittent fasting is completely false?? Just wondering

yeah, it's not good for your metabolism, no competent nutricionist would suggest it. The thing is, that though they might work in the short term, they're not sustainable methods, as soon as you stop you will get a bounce back effect (and probably gain a few more lbs for good measure). The body is smart, if you starve it, it will eat up its reserves to keep you alive. As soon as you start eating again it will try to make up for those lost reserves because they are your "back up". If you fast like once a year for religious reasons or smth, the body will be ok with it, but if you do it on a regular basis your gonna drive it insane, it will try to store more than it should because it doesn't know when your gonna feed it again. Balancing your diet is a matter of eating well and eating healthy. There are no cheat codes. Veg, fruit, wholegrain, protein. And drink only water or fresh squeezed juice, no sugar added... You can still eat icecream or cake once in a while as a treat. Eating well isn't supposed to be a chore or punishment, its a change in lifestyle. Hope things go great for you! :)

Stalin Mc Corn. That’s scary after allowing a company to be so in your business!

@@amim4701 Aye, pal. Because obesity is the only cause of high blood pressure, Type 2 Diabetes, and high cholesterol.

It would be people were healthier. Making excuses is easier though.

​@@angminnyc It would also be easier if people knew the difference between genuine health information and misinformation peddled by KZfaqrs who spout bullshite just to make money off the very same viewers they're scamming with dangerous ideas. Such as fruit smoothies, for example. There is no Good Sugar and Bad Sugar. Type 2 Diabetes also comes with age and is down to the body being unable to regulate their glucose levels. So either the body doesn't produce enough insulin or the body becomes resistant to insulin. Obesity is a Risk Factor, not cause. Risk Factors increase the odds of a T2 Diabetes diagnosis. Age is also a Risk Factor. Slurping fruit smoothies every day is a major Risk Factor. Scoffing fruit like there's no tomorrow is a major Risk Factor. Genetics is a Risk Factor. The more Risk Factors a person has? The higher the odds go up. Plenty of average people and skinny people have T2 Diabetes. A well-balanced diet and exercise, if possible, will lower Risk Factors that stem from excessive weight and liquid fruits. Age can't be lowered and so that Risk Factor increases with every passing birthday. Genetics can't be changed so that Risk Factor remains the same.

When I worked construction I got up to a juicy 220 at 19 years old... I have always worked out even throughout construction doing some type of resistance training 3x weekly at a bare minimum. As a construction worker you’re always enticed to eat out, multiple times too. Fuck I’d grab McDonald’s at 5 am go to the gas station after leaving my first work site around 12 pm. Snack throughout the day and grab some teriyaki dinner. You work all day so you never really have time to prep healthy food.

You can get 5 bananas for 50 cents, 2 apples for 60 cents, 12 eggs for $ 2.50, a bag of beans for $ 1.00, a cauliflower for $ 1.50, a pund of potatoes for $ 1.20 , 2 pounds of carrots for $2.50 a head of lettuces for $ 1.50, pund of rice $ 1.75 = $ 11.47 can you afford this for a week? Of course you can be healthy on a student budget. You just need to change your mind, close your mouth and move your ass, that's all.

lol bullshit, nobody has just enough money to eat a shitty diet and that's it, good food is not expensive lolol stop making shit up.

Proves that it's all about diet

When you see those construction workers in obesity, we know that the main problem is in their dietary habit, not their lack of physical activities.

Actually an extra 40 lbs can definitely lead to less productivity - put on a 40 lb. weighted vest and tell me you can’t feel the difference.

+Fat Loss HQ: What do you mean? Nobody needs a program from their boss to lose weight fast and permanently. Everyone can increase their activity level and decrease their calorie intake. It's just that most are too lazy to be bothered. We like sitting down too much and we like the taste of refined sugar too much. So we stick our heads firmly in the sand and keep on eating and sitting. The idiotic thing here is, that if we cannot take care of ourselves anymore, someone else will come to feed us crap and clean our house and pay for our staggering obesity related doctor's bills. Many countries have a rather stupid system in which people are rewarded for bad behavior. So they keep doing it. Stop helping them and see how fast they can slim down when truly needed. Almost nobody was 'super morbidly obese' a century ago. And now look. How about a high tax on all things bad for you and that tax goes directly to programs to prevent obesity. That will make a difference. But probably this is never going to happen in a society, where the majority of the people are addicted to junk food. They rather keep their heads way down deep in the sand and first wake up when it is too late for them. People are so incredibly dumb.

Weight Loss Green Store Tea cures more than doctors.

Garden Joy OK so you must be perfect I’ve always wanted to meet someone like you. You mentioned a century ago No One was obese do you even remember years and years ago our great grandparents one worked one stayed home so there was always healthy options and there wasn’t these prepackaged garbage for food. Our employers give us 30 minutes to try and shovel down whatever food we can get. They want overtime they want to throw parties and feed their employees crappy food but yeah complain that employees are calling out and by the way almost all the skinny people I work with are always calling out sick so it’s not just overweight people. I grew up in a time where we didn’t have technology so you were busy but these damn phones are a problem.

I've flipped to high fat low carb because carbs are just 3 glucose molecules. I've had the most stable energy levels I've had in my life. No noon crashes nothing. It's been fucking amazing. I also realize it's not for everyone too since no way of eating fits all but we all benefit from cutting down sugar and processed carbs.

But also, we need improved access to healthcare, and a restructuring of food economy - fast food shouldn't be the cheapest and most ubiquitous option for most Americans. Make a Big Mac cost $15 and a can of Coke cost $6, and put that money into the healthcare system. People clearly can't do it on their own, so we need to do more than "nudging" at this point.

People addicted to drugs alcohol and gambling go into rehab voluntarily. You cannot force an adult person to do anything they don’t want to do without a court order

Bryan that is a slippery slope my friend. Those convinced against their will are of the same opinion still... Also those willing to give up freedom for security deserve and receive neither. I think before anyone can do anything about any issue the first step would be to actually understand what is causing it. Obesity is a symptom of an underlying issue be it physical/mental/social. There are as many opinions on how to be healthy as there are on what is healthy. Anyone wanting to push for control measures will soon find themself within that dragnet and see the end result as unfavorable.

Attack the overweight employee, Meanwhile you have skinny homeless people that don't work at all.

You are right. I'm in the same boat. I'm overweight but labs are normal. I work out at least five times a week; cardio and weight training. However, I work with slim people who drink and smoke on a regular basis and always missing work. Yes we need to get our health under control. I try to get a lot of people in my life, both slim and plus, to work out with me. I actually had more of the plus size people who were more willing to work out with me than the slim folks.

@Shay Monte' did she or I say out of shape? We said overweight, which is by the medical field. I'm a curvy plus size woman and very active. My muscle to fat ratio is 51/49. I have a small waist compared to my hips. I lift on average 4-5 days a week. I also work seven days a week. So tell me where you read anything that stated out of shape?

+Melisa Deyn: Might it be that you are sticking your head firmly into the sand? Weight matters so much. You will feel so much better in a more lean body with a normal BMI, than you will feel in an obese body. No-one likes it to not look that nice, no-one likes it to struggle to put socks on, for your belly is in the way. No-one likes it to feel tired and sweaty so often and not to be able to play with the (grand)kids. No-one likes it to feel crappy because of obesity related illnesses. No-one likes it to have to spend more time in doctor's offices and be poked in. No-one likes it to have a much higher risk of getting diabetis type 2. And for those who start being obese at a young age: no-one likes it to risk lose many years of life. People who are obese run a higher risk of becoming depressed. No wonder, for they miss out on a lot of good things. No-one likes to have to pay more in taxes and health insurance because there are so many costs to being obese as a nation. But there is one thing most obese people have in common: they rather have the immediate pleasure of the food they are addicted to, than the pleasure of being free from all nasty things mentioned above in the long run. People are pretty weird.

You sound like the people of new york when the mayor tried to tax their soda. If you can't make the right choices for yourselves but want to claim you are an adult while burdening the system with your poor health, thats intrusive, intrusive on everyone else who is trying to stay healthy.

To increase profits, their workers need to be healthy. Work somewhere else if you don’t like your employer’s requirements.

I agree companies don’t want to give you time off. How many people actually start off with only two weeks of vacation a year. How can you get rest and do other things around your home or even go to doctors appointments with only two weeks a year. On top of that they want overtime. 50 years ago my grandmother was a stay at home mom who could cook clean take care of the family with healthy choices but now it takes two people to work explain how this is making life better for Americans. It is very sad that one income can barely keep a family afloat. Plus get rid of the technology just like what I’m doing right now is a waste of time

And the cholesterol lie!

It’s not necessarily the same as exercise though. You gotta get your heart rate up. That being said, they probably also work long hours so it’s challenging to exercise. But first thing they need to fix is diet.
