Obesity is killing America: Heart disease deaths related to weight have tripled since 1999; this is major issue & obesity emerged as super loaded risk factor during COVID; 'metabolic syndrome' is tied
to excess weight; a cluster of co-occurring conditions that escalates risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes e.g. elevated blood pressure, sugar, waist fat, cholesterol, triglycerides
Interesting that the government was offering donuts, beer, pizza etc. to anyone that would receive the experimental gene altering injection. In addition, they were closing gyms and advising folks to stay in their homes. It’s almost like the government was feeding the obesity and deterring exercise and fresh air. It’s almost like the intent was to harm rather than help “We the People “. Almost? Or true intent?
This country is a sickness based country which creates $$$ billions in profit. The food industry is almost as big and heavily funded lobby as is the drug industry. Think about how you would go to the dentist as a child and be given a lollipop when you left! What a contradiction and what a message.
Seed oils, trans fats, glyphosate, fructose, sucrose, lectins, gliadins, ETC.!
And then the Vaxx that affects the ENTIRE body, not just the heart! Blood vessels, lungs, nerves, gut, brain, eyes, kidneys, ovaries, uterus, testes, skin, and everything else!
Big pharma loves this scenario and is pushing it forward. They want everyone on the planet sick and diseased and gulping down 15-20 drugs everyday for the rest of their miserable lives. And your doctor is in heaven too drooling over all those new revenues.
I just read Eat Fat Get Thin by Dr Mark Hyman. Everything you need to know about obesity, diabetes, cholesterol, statins, and the guberments intentional (?) negligence and propaganda. Great informative book and I already lost weight cutting out sugar and carbs.
I see so many obese young women. They are so unattractive and they dress in skimpy shorts and tank tops. I am just gobsmacked by it. Whatever happened to the idea of "maintaining my weight"
"keeping my figure" ?
I think the overturning of standards of beauty or attractiveness for women (based in feminist thought) is a factor in this total immersion in self indulgent gluttony.
From what I've gathered, the cooking oils we use, which is in just about everything these days, turns toxic when they oxidize. The polyunsaturated fats replaced the healthy saturated fats. Seems to be a correlation between turn of the 20th century diets and heart disease, cancer etc
I am curious about cooking oils. Where and when do people use them? I grew up never using oils and still don't. I either boil or cook items, but never fry them.
You will see them in just about anything packaged- chips, cookies, crackers, bread- which is the American diet these days. Fast food usually uses the cheapest oil possible.
Good to know. I generally don't eat fast food- it's been a few years since I've had any. I do occasionally have a few saltine or graham crackers. It's scary that there is oil in so much.
What helped me is looking at the expiration dates on things. If you look at a bag of chips and the expiration date is 3-6 months out- you know that there are chemicals in them that must be bad for you. It is chips and sweets that were my downfall. I have been experimenting with no sugar desserts using almond or coconut flour, also the use of Medjol dates, they are just as satisfying. It’s the chips that I need a healthy substitute. I am retired so I have more time to mess around with cooking. I totally get when you are working, it’s hard to eat healthy.
Obesity is NOT "killing America". This is a COMPLETE FALLACY. Rather, the SAME metabolic, nutritional, and environmental/lifestyle factors are CAUSING BOTH!
It is frustrating for those of us who eat low carb (generally 50 carbs a day) exercise every day, do not drink or smoke, nor ear junk. I really do eat healthy and am still in the obese category. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I don't use oils, nor fry food. I keep my added sugars as low as I can- usually 6-9 grams- and it's hard because so much stuff has added sugar. But, I am sure that people are assuming that I eat junk and am a bump on a log.
I'm with you on that. I've tried everything. Keto never got me in deep ketosis. I get bad headaches from tofu and most beans, and am gluten intolerant, making it harder to be a vegan. The doctor wants me on statins, I say no. I switched to a more mediterranean type of diet, but I don't expect much change in the weight issue.
Thank you for your reply. I envy your determination. Fasting 16 hours is not so bad now. But it stabilizes my weight but I'm not losing. My doc got mad at my refusal of statins, i'm skyhigh in readings, he says nothing can be done it's hereditary. I Just passed blood test to see if I would have cardiac risks and atherosclerosis :-(. Even then, I'll refuse his drugs but will have to find a dramatic way of changing my bloodwork. I'm on my own then.
My parents have been taking flush free niacin (inositol hexanicotinate) and have had luck with lowering cholesterol. My mom also takes garlic oil. She thinks the combination of both are what brought her numbers down. She is doing 1,000 mg of each.
Thank you Kelly. I've started to look into a regimen, and I've started to introduce those recently. The testimony and quantity of mg is very appreciated!
Listen to podcasts about cholesterol and statins. Physicians don’t even know what lab tests to order. It’s usually a combination of health criteria that warrants concern. But physicians should always try the conservative route first before surgery or pharmaceutical unless it is a death or life situation.
Very questionable claims. Always missing is the issue of nutritional deficiencies and the impact of S.A.D. (standard american diet) which is pure poison to the body and health. There are obese people without heart conditions or any other metabolic issue as they eat higher quality food which is more plant based. I have read that underweight is more a concern for health which can also be related to rotten food choices. Talk about this as part of the reality in this country. Other countries have older people with obesity but without heart disease and other chronic metabolically created conditions.
Can anyone please recommend supplements for obesity? I use Berberine, I am very low carb, I don’t eat breakfast. I gain weight constantly 😔 I also have Goats Rue. Any recommendations? I’m meeting with a doctor this week. I just did labs. I am sure that I have extreme insulin resistance:/ Thank you for your help 🩵🩵🩵
I'm not sure, but maybe you can try the full paleo diet, cutting out all breads, pastas, certain fruits, etc. It can take awhile for your body to readjust and begin to not store fat, and reset your metabolism.
Intermittend fasting keeps me in check I skip breakfast most of the time). I know I will eventually have to go to OMAD (one meal a day) if I really want to loose weight. If I would eat the SAdiet I would be really obese. I can't bring myself to eating once a day, it's a punishment for me. I got a few good tips from the glucose revolution book.
Read Eat Fat Get Thin by Dr Mark Hyman and or go on his website. This is a sugar and seed oil issue as well as lack of exercise and sleep. Fasting is also helpful and fyi Alcohol is full of sugar and toxins.
Take your temperature FIRST thing when you awaken in the morning, before you get out of bed, (after your mouth has been closed for a while if you are a mouth breather) and leave the thermometer under your tongue for seven minutes. This will give you a pretty accurate indication of your basal temperature and basal metabolic rate, a strong correlation with thyroid function. If your temperature is below 98° you should get it evaluated. Thyroid is complex and few doctors know how to test it properly or treat it effectively.
Other than that, weight is most affected by over consumption of carbs AND eating too frequently and during too many hours of the day, both of which contribute to higher blood insulin.
Insulin is the main fat storage hormone. When it is present (over a very low baseline), the body puts excess glucose and blood fats into the fat (adipose) cells and cannot take them back out for use as an energy source.
Liver insulin resistance disregulates the entire process, "blinding" the liver to insulin signals. High blood insulin (normally indicating food has been eaten) is supposed to shut down gluconeogenesis by the liver (making glucose and dumping it into the blood), but with liver insulin resistance it just keeps putting out sugar, creating a vicious circle of more insulin and more insulin resistance in the rest of the body, particularly the muscles that should be taking in glucose and burning it for energy, which in turn should be lowering blood glucose. Liver insulun resistance is primarily caused by fatty liver, and THAT is primarily caused by eating FRUCTOSE, the sugar that comprises half of the sucrose molecule ("table" or "white" sugar). Fructose----> fattly liver----> liver insulun resistance---> high blood sugar---> more insulin---> more insulin resistance---> more weight gain/inability to lose weight. Complicates this is loered metabolism from thyroid and nutrient issues AND malfunctioning cell membranes and insulin receptors from consuming the Standard American Diet with far too much Omega 6 industrial seed oils (soybean, canola, peanut, corn, cottonseed, safflower oil, etc.).
And nothing works right with multiple nutrient deficiencies involved in all this —chromium, iodine, zinc, magnesium, boron, vitamins D, A, K2, all the B complex vitamins, nitrates/nitrites for nitric oxide production, and much more.
Getting insufficient high quality sleep throws off everything. Stress raises cortisol---> increases gluconeogenesis---> raises blood sugar---> raises insulin--->contributes to more insulin resistance---> more weight gain.
Whew! Get the picture? But this is just an "outline" of it! It is also connected to gut health and what your microbiome is doing and neurotransmitters, as well as other hormones — leptin, glucagon, and adiponectin at least.
IF ANYBODY ever tells you to "eat less and exercise more", yes you SHOULD "exercise more" starting with RUNNUNG THE OTHER WAY FROM THEM! Low calorie diets are a massive failure — with a one to three percent success rate depending on the study. Cutting back on calories ONLY causes a compensatatory lowering of metabolic rate, often permanently! You will only end up tired, cold, and starving! But what does work starts with cutting back on carbs, cutting OUT fructose, time restricted eating, not eating within four hours of bedtime, eliminate all grains (because of their lectin content and damage to the gut and immune system), eat adequate healthy animal fats (preferably grass-fed) and red meat (more than "recommended" amounts!), and other strategies.
Most Americans are insulin resistant. I am trying to improve my metabolic health as well. I have been doing intermittent fasting and low carb, eating Whole Foods. I am exercising 5 times a week, sometimes with weights. After a year, I have lost 25 pounds, my knees no longer hurt, brain fog is much better and I am sleeping great. The nice part is that I occasionally partake in that birthday cake or pizza. Listen to Dr Berg or Dr Hyman on YouTube. They are amazing! Good health to you!

The fact is most patients in the hospital lie in the bed, receiving new drugs and eating crap food. The relatives bring in junk food to "be nice"...
This country is a sickness based country which creates $$$ billions in profit. The food industry is almost as big and heavily funded lobby as is the drug industry. Think about how you would go to the dentist as a child and be given a lollipop when you left! What a contradiction and what a message.
Most ppl today consume garbage they think is 'food'. If it isn't meat, eggs or non-starchy vegetables, it's garbage.
"Fear the fake,not the fat..."
Don't fall for it.
The mainstream are flooding out articles to cover up vaxx damages
For decades the "food industry" poisoned us with the use of seed oils. These oils, and all the junk food with empty starches promoted weight gain.
Then the vaxx that had consequences to the heart.
Seed oils, trans fats, glyphosate, fructose, sucrose, lectins, gliadins, ETC.!
And then the Vaxx that affects the ENTIRE body, not just the heart! Blood vessels, lungs, nerves, gut, brain, eyes, kidneys, ovaries, uterus, testes, skin, and everything else!
Yes, all those things, thank you.
Big pharma loves this scenario and is pushing it forward. They want everyone on the planet sick and diseased and gulping down 15-20 drugs everyday for the rest of their miserable lives. And your doctor is in heaven too drooling over all those new revenues.

This obesity is pushed as culturally A-OK.
Lockdowns sure helped.

For me, the answer is to stop eating so much. Food quality was not the issue, it was the quantity.
I've cut my food intake by 50%. Already lost 15 lbs. in about 6 weeks. Americans eat too much and exercise too little.

Please don't conflate causation with correlation!

Read Eat Fat Get Thin by Dr Mark Hyman and prepare to see how mislead we have been for years and years!
Thanks for mentioning this. I have actually read this. But, I should probably review it again as it has been a few years.
I'm with you on that. I've tried everything. Keto never got me in deep ketosis. I get bad headaches from tofu and most beans, and am gluten intolerant, making it harder to be a vegan. The doctor wants me on statins, I say no. I switched to a more mediterranean type of diet, but I don't expect much change in the weight issue.
It's HARD AT FIRST but OMAD- ONE MEAL A DAY
ADVANTAGE? You only spike blood sugar ONCE, not continuously during the day.
I don't get hungry in the morning, fasting 18 hours is EASY.
When I do eat, I pick my menu more carefully.
There are some doctors who love OMAD, watch their videos and get started.
Find a new doctor. If the doc likes statins, he is at least ignorant, probably better described as an idiot with a medical degree.
Thank you for your reply. I envy your determination. Fasting 16 hours is not so bad now. But it stabilizes my weight but I'm not losing.

I have been reading a lot about fresh garlic, it’s amazing!

💯. I lost 50 pounds during Covid. I intermittent fast. 12/12. Easiest thing ever. I’m amazed 🤯 & it’s FREE
