One of my guilty pleasures is my 600lb life. When they go into how they got to that states it's always some kind of trauma they suffered they led them to eating. That was how they coped

And they always have an enabler partner, friend or family member helping them eat themselves to death.

I truly can’t believe that some idiots voted “genetics”!
Nothing about your genetics predetermines you to be fat! Your family’s culture may help, but not genetics.
Your family is all fat and all they do is cook, eat, drink, and have a good time. None of those fat bastards hit the gym hard or go for 5K runs or nothing.
Nevermind…​

I would watch 600lb life to study the amount of food intake you would need to get that size. I was blowing up and only eating 5% of what they were eating which is 30,000 calories a day. You can pack on alot of weight by accumulating fluid in your body.

Consumption of processed foods.

Everything you buy on the shelf in a grocery store is pretty much fake food. Restaurants/Fast Foods are also processed food.

All the dairy, fruits/vegatables and meat is over saturated with GMO’s and other crap.

Unless you grow your own food and fertilize it naturally and raise your own livestock and feed them healthy….you basically eating garbage.

You can have Congestive heart failure, kidney, or liver disease (NAFLD). Some of these patients are drinking water packing on weight. Fluids going through a healthy person will get released immediately as urine.

These people that are freak shows will retain the fluid due to organ failure. Many people that are on a diet, will restrict their fluid intake when they cut out sodas and other high calorie beverages. What they are really doing is keeping two or three lbs of fluid buildup. As much as turning those calories into fat.

Definitely monitor your weight almost like your blood pressure, and any massive changes, you need to figure out, seek out a competent medical professional.

What I don’t understand is, these obese folks aren’t working a 9 to 5 per say, but have funds to pig out on a daily basis!
Gotta be that government money. At a certain weight, you can qualify for disability and get paid. It's a luxury only in the US cuz I can't imagine any other country or continent doing that shit for their obese.

IMO It boils down to just more than will power. I experimented on myself for the last 4 years and came to the conclusion of this article to be true. I get bloodwork done every 6 months and change my diet based on the results. I understand many people cannot afford to have bloodwork done at all so I am blessed to be able to have the bloodwork done.

Example: I ate an avocado everyday for 6 months. Cholesterol went from 150 to 190. Mind you I eat the same exact meals everyday. A1C hovering around 5.8 glucose was 80 which lead me to believe I was eating too many carbs. I will have to wait until June to see if my A1C goes down. I didn't realize the pancreas played a major role in the insulin process until late last year.

My hypothesis was true. Feed the body whole foods, never eat processed or fast foods and you will change your gut bacteria to only want to eat healthy. If I eat more fat than my body requires such as too much olive oil my poop floats. Yeah, I mentioned that, I'm an old head and I hope I can reach one person.

Cravings are gut bacteria sending signals to the brain, hey! More sugar, more salt. I tried to tell my friends but it falls on death ears. Most can't comprehend never having cravings. If you feed your body proper nutrients, it will NEVER crave anything. Well, unless you smoke or take gummies.

Look at your body like a car. If you fil it up with garbage petro and don't have your car serviced properly, it will start to break down and cut short the life expectancy of your car. Then there's the stigma of society itself. People feel bad when the go out with friends and want to eat healthy. They feel ostracized. Not me. I don't judge, however, I will not eat what others eat because not only is it bad for my heath, but my body will reject it anyways.

Anyone reading this, trust me. Once you force your body to choose only foods that have beneficial properties, the body will no longer crave the S.A.D.


Be well.



Eating More of This Type of Fiber May Influence Our Decision Making Around Food, According to New Research​


Reviewed by Dietitian Jessica Ball, M.S., RD
Prebiotics are superstars when it comes to supporting your gut health. These indigestible dietary fibers—found in various plant-based foods like onions, leeks, artichokes and chicory root—can help your gut microbiome flourish. And now, a new study by the University of Leipzig Medical Center in Leipzig, Germany, explores whether specific prebiotics can extend their benefits to brain function. The study, published in the BMJ on October 4th, 2023, suggests that consuming more prebiotic fibers may simultaneously enhance gut health and brain function. Keep reading to uncover more about this study’s findings.

What the Study Found​

To arrive at these conclusions, researchers at the University of Leipzig Medical Center studied the potential impact of a high-dose dietary prebiotic supplement on the brain's response to popular high-calorie foods. Their exploration focused on a group of 59 participants that included young to middle-aged adults who were overweight and followed a standard omnivorous Western diet.
For 14 consecutive days, the participants consumed a daily dose of 30 grams of inulin, a prebiotic fiber derived from chicory root. During these two weeks, the researchers used functional MRI imaging while showing participants images of popular high-calorie dishes (hamburgers were shown in a graphic within the published study). Then, they asked them to rate their desire to consume the depicted meals.

The researchers used functional MRI imaging at four key points: before and after prebiotic consumption and before and after a placebo phase. The placebo phase matched the prebiotic in calorie density but didn’t include prebiotics. The results were eye-opening: the brain's reward centers showed reduced activation when faced with high-calorie food stimuli after consuming prebiotic fiber. Furthermore, this change in brain response was accompanied by a notable shift in the gut bacteria's composition.

To gain a deeper understanding, the research team took fasting blood samples from participants that they analyzed for gastrointestinal hormones, glucose, lipids and inflammatory markers. Stool samples were also examined to learn more about the gut microbiota and their metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids. The study was conducted within the framework of the Collaborative Research Centre 1052, “Obesity Mechanisms”.

These findings suggest that functional microbial changes in the gut may drive the brain's altered response to cues from high-calorie foods. “The results suggest a potential link between gut health and brain function, in this case food decision-making," said PD Dr. Veronica Witte, study co-author and a scientist at the University of Leipzig Medical Center, in a statement.

The Bottom Line​

In a recent study published in the BMJ, the University of Leipzig Medical Center in Germany explored the connection between gut health and brain function. This research revealed the powerful impact of prebiotic fibers in foods like onions, leeks, artichokes and chicory root, suggesting that they can help nourish your gut while enhancing your brain function.

The study's participants included young to middle-aged adults with weight concerns who consumed a daily dose of 30 grams of inulin, a prebiotic fiber. The findings demonstrated that prebiotics can influence the brain's response to high-calorie foods. These findings highlight the intriguing relationship between the gut microbiome and food-related decision-making, but more research is needed to help clarify their findings amongst a more broad and diverse participant pool. That said, there are many science-backed health benefits of fiber that might also compel you to up your intake.

What’s the YouTube link of the Rasta dude talking about the gluttony of U.S. women and how it’s starting to spread to Jamaica? I thought it was in this thread.

I guess no one is born predisposed to be short or tall either. Grow up in a short family develop short habits. LOL Nah bro being overweight has genetic factors as well as habit factors involved. For some people it is very easy to stay thin for some people it is very hard. Some people really like food some people not so much. What you see in extreme cases is normally addiction. But the only way they could be addicted to food is if they are predisposed to be able to be addicted to food. Some people have the addiction gene for alcohol some don't.

You can't blame everything on behavior when it comes to obesity. I can eat a piece of bread and my body will process it differently than if you eat a piece of bread. How much energy I get how much fat is stored all varies.

There isn't one factor that leads to obesity there are many factors that usually come together to make someone obese. Some are cultural, some are genetic, some are habitual. We can help people with the cultural and habitual nature of obesity but if we judge them as lacking discipline just because it's harder for them to lose weight then others isn't fair. Certain cultures have big people who carry weight easily. Samoans for example are extremely athletic but would be considered fat. You can't honestly say Samoans don't have a genetic predisposition for gaining weight. But that same fat samoan can run your 5K and play offensive line in the NFL. Some swim everyday and are still fat.

Nope.
Take two identical twins at birth and put them with separate families, one The Klumps, and the other a family that eats healthy and works out regularly, and I guarantee you get two different body types when they meet each other at the age of 18.
It’s habits that keeps you fat.

Do you think there were any fat humans on earth when everyone were hunter gatherers?​

It's habits and genetics. And no everyone wasn't skinny. If you are going to survive anywhere cold being skinny is not genetically advantageous. Human beings are born on a standard deviation of body types. Why do diapers come in different sizes. Big people birth big children.

Function​

Genetic and epigenetic variations contribute to obesity by influencing the function of metabolic pathways in the body and regulating neural pathways and appetite centers. Subsequently, these variations influence insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, inflammation, hypertension, and ectopic fat deposition-especially in the liver, which are the markers of obesity.[2] Genetic mutations can be inherited in an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive manner and are influenced by genetic mechanisms of deletion, genetic imprinting, and translocation. However, epigenetic modifications are more complex and occur at any given time and can be passed on from generation to generation to cause obesity. Geneticists have identified some crucial periods when epigenetic changes occur, especially during the growth of the fetus. Factors influencing these epigenetic changes include:



Your parents pass down your genetics and yes they can pass down their fatness to you. So all fat people are not self created. Many of them come from generations of fatness which means all the genetic factors that make you fat are against them.

I agree habits are a big part of weight gain but when we live in a society where the food is literally changing the way our genes express themselves in order to make you addicted to certain foods we got to recognize the odds are stacked against us. Most people in America are obese and because of that the next generation is more like to be obese. We live in a culture of obesity the average persons discipline is not effective in overcoming that. We need to change the culture of food in America because it's not just the fat people with bad food habits.

In order to lose weight and keep it off you have to literally change the way your body responds to food. Living in a caloric deficit is not feasible for most people you have to literally change the way your body processes food by dramatically changing the food you eat and how often you eat it. The hard part is there is no solution that's going to work for everyone because everyone is genetically different so my response to milk isn't your response to milk. My response to fat isn't your response to fat. Discovering and recognizing which foods negatively affect you is a complex process.

Nah.
All you fatties can loose weight if you just stop eating like shit, drinking too much alcohol, and exercise daily.
All of that is the only reason you’re a cow.​

OOOOO i get it now. You don't like fat people because you are stupid. So to deflect from your stupidity you find a group to hate on. My fault I thought you genuinely didn't know and were trying to learn something. Does it make you feel a little better about your condition believing that all fat people need to do is stop eating. I mean I can relate I think all you need to do is read a book or an article or anything that will exercise that walnut you got shaking around in your dome. LOL

And I've been skinny my whole life but I recognize that the problem of obesity in America is significant and fat shaming ain't gonna fix the problem. We need a culture of healthy eating and a government that keeps dangerous food products off our shelves.
