The reality is that for the majority of obese people, it's about taking personal responsibility for what you put into your body and how you treat it. I don't think it's a coincidence that virtually every time I see an obese person in a grocery store, their cart is loaded with processed foods that are full of sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and few if any whole fruits, vegetables, grains or meats.
People need to realize that just because something says "healthy choice" or "light" on the package, doesn't mean it's good for you and chances are, if it's packaged and processed at all it probably isn't. Obese people don't need to go on starvation diets or hit the gym 5 hours a day, but they should be drinking water instead of soda, and purchasing food with as few ingredients listed on the package as possible, or better yet - no ingredients listed at all because it's not processed.
- aklemm 9y agoThis seems much too simplistic.
- KGIII 9y agoI am fit and healthy. So, I can't say how simple it is. I don't know, I'm not in their shoes. But, I'm told it is simple - for the vast majority of people who are overweight. Put fewer calories in than you use and the result is weight loss. Operate at a caloric deficit and the result is less weight. That is it. Note: That is just weight loss and doesn't imply that it is healthy eating. Obviously, it should entail more, but I understand it is pretty simple physically. I was a fat kid but I got chicken pox at the age of 15 and have been the appropriate weight ever since then.
