Horses for courses. Katanas are for separating heads from necks. Opening a coconut shell to drink the juice and scrape out the meat ... a machete’s the tool.

It's a cycle. Once you become obese it's harder to maintain self control and excercise.

The UK linked Obesity to viruses.

The video by Dr. Eades correlates the rise in obesity to the use of vegetable oils.

Part of the problem is that the advice given to the obese has often been the exact opposite of what they should do. Wally world has many causes. Some, maybe even most of those slobs are just victims.

I disagree

I see daily today a dozen folks 2-4 times normal body weight

In the 60s I might see that a few times a year

And it dovetails with white trash has lost its dignity it once had when we were called rednecks

They are no more rednecks almost

And I’m 15-20 pounds overweight at six five mid 230s so I’m not perfect either

Watch that video by Dr. Eades. He noticed the same thing. Even went and compared prom pictures from the 1940's till now. Striking difference.

He asked why people suddenly started eating more carbs. It's not like carbs weren't available in the '40s.

The answer he came up with was the change from saturated fats to vegetable oils. And he presents detailed science of what occurs at the cellular level.

It's not all about will power. In fact it may be very little about will power, as Dr Attia found out. He said he was doing everything right, and still ended up with metabolic syndrome and suddenly started gaining weight at a young age.

Dr. Guntry points to lignans in peanuts and tomatoes and causing leaky gut syndrome leading to inflation in various forms. Is he right I don't know.

I think there may be multiple causes, but I do think these people are onto something. We've gotten horribly wrong nutritional advice over the past several decades. And even when they discover how wrong they were, it takes decades more for the word to get out and reaffirmed enough to change the consensus view.

Possible causes include:

This coconut oil article seems to reflect that consensus group think inertia.

And in addition to the Dr. Eades video you really need to find the Peter Attia video and watch it. His attitude towards obese was ExACTLY like yours.

Well then why aren’t rich women as fat as poor women

I’ll tell you why

More societal pressure to be thin or at least normal body weight

Excellent, informative post!!!

I’ve been enjoying a zero carb diet for 38 days now. I feel better today overall than when I was 20.

I used to love coconut anything & everything. I loved making popcorn in coconut oil.

I wouldn’t put either of them in my mouth now for love nor $$$.

Well you do need to recognize that the fattening foods are cheaper. Someone trying to stretch a buck is more likely to make the wrong food choices.

And when you are wealthy, you can spend more time in the gym, and doing recreational activities, than when you are poor.

You can also afford tummy tucks ala Suzanne Sommers.

Correction, it’s Lenoleic acid, that’s super bad, and it is an Omega 6.

I have not really enjoyed theater popcorn since the 80s when they dropped coconut oil due to propaganda from one biased study.

If you can rip open a coconut with your teeth, it’s OK to have a ‘man bun’.
