Whenever people say they can't do something a phrase comes to my mind "when there is a will, there is a way". If it was truly important people would find a way and time and money
You make a great point. I think they should require people on food stamps or poverty assistance to have to use 70% of there food stamps on produce and maybe 20% on protein and meats, with 10% going to junk Oreo's etc. Although the WIC program did help my family a lot and I was very appreciative of that. But we never used it for Stogey's soda or beer there was strict guidelines on which foods you got a discount on. All the processed food has way to much salt. I think that is one thing the guys didn't touch on in the interview the amount of sodium intake now is through the roof making people fat.
Bingo...and even what you eat isn't as important as how much. You can be trim on a McDonalds diet if you are working out and counting calories. Do the MyFitnessPal routine and you will lose weight as long as you can stay under your numbers.
3:49 Maher is absolutely right here. We just went through a giant global pandemic and I don’t remember one politician or public health official mentioning the obesity epidemic that exists in our country
what about him leaving out how healthcare would've saved 200k lives and actually put a huge dent in that obesity issue. say your bullshit to a any retail worker who works 40 hr a week and barely able to scrap by, not even having a $400 for emergency.
@@asdf0747 I actually somewhat agree with you. Why does me bringing up obesity immediately trigger you to think that I don’t support healthcare reform? I think every American should have a basic accident insurance plan paid for by the government
@@sallydavies9253 Politicians & businessman aren't "scared of body positivity people" lol that's stupid. Their compliance with obesity in the US is because as far as they're concerned, the more people shoving unhealthy shit down their mouths = more money for them.
I remember watching that segment from Corden's show. It was ridiculous. He actually went all in with the sobbing story how it's hard to resist eating junk food at 2am. As someone who recently went from 400 pounds to 260, I can tell you there is nothing brave about how I was doing back in the day when I was fat. There was nothing good in a way I looked, or felt. Admitting I have problems, and doing something about it was the best thing I ever did.
@@jamesjustice8711 Basically, I changed two main things about my lifestyle. I started to walk a lot, and I started to use a method of intermittent fasting. It changed the whole game for me. Also, I quit snacks and most soft drinks.
Respectfully, if someone’s character is so weak, they’re not able to resist food when they wake up in the middle of the night, even though their health and their lives are on the line because they are so fat, and that person firstly needs to start preparing themselves mentally to be stronger.
I lost 100 pounds at a time when I was dirt poor. Eggs, beans, spinach, bananas, tuna, apples are all pretty cheap and very good for you. The two most important factors for losing weight though, are both completely free. 1. Water!! Drink more water!! 2. NO SUGAR!!! Cut out sugar completely!
Processed sugar is bad. Naturally occurring sugar in fruit and vegetables, legumes, greens etc is fine. The body runs on glucose and performs optimally on a healthy carbs diet. Protein's important but we don't need much.
@@rory644 Calorie deficit has been debunked, the body’s metabolism will just adjust to burn less calories if you aren’t taking in the right kind of food....
And carbs. Carbs are a killer. I was so confused when I would eat a pasta dish with chicken breasts and a normal portion wondering why I wasn’t loosing weight. Cut out the carbs and I was losing weight
That’s an excellent point. I’ve lost a lot of weight in the past 2 years and I’ve actually had people say, “You don’t need to lose more weight, you are already so skinny.” I’m not skinny. I’m average now. I was overweight 2 years ago, but some people have a very skewed perspective of weight.
He is a Clinton Democrat of the worst kind, the man is a fraud. That theory of personal responsability is endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce, the most pro business association in America defending the fast food industry and big pharma among others . It goes like this: you are fat because you eat too much and dont exercise because you are also lazy. The food industry is using science to recompose food with hi sugar hi fructose and hi carbohydrates from GMO cereals. The meat industry is using growth and sexual hormones in cattle and pork, the farming industry uses Glyphosate and sterilize the soil from any nutrients and minerals. Then they sell it you, ask you to put it in amicrowave and blame you for getting sick. Bill Mahler is an asshole.
Dear mag keep going you’re on a good path. Consider taking a food sensitivity test Everybody has different body chemistry For food groups And the pyramid concept is a lie When it comes to good health. For example, my blood when I took a food sensitivity test reacts very poor to chicken for red meat is much more healthy I get inflammation when I eat chicken with egg cows, milk Bananas and pineapples are Food sensitivity test I would never have known. This was a huge reason for my inflammation problem.

As a female who was previously overweight, it was very intriguing to see how once I lost weight and got fit and healthy, the friends that I lost too. Honestly I consider it a blessing in disguise, because it was a great way to filter out my real friends from my fake ones. Considering my father's side of the family has a history of diabetes and I was very close to following down that path if I hadn't made this life change, I will not go back for anyone's comfort. Maher is right, this shift in the idea that being obese is fine is pretty crazy considering how many health issues it leads to.
Wow that's crazy. I think I made more friends after I lost 33 pounds as as teenager. I'm not from the US though and I was appluaded by most people for losing my weight.
I love this story because I too lost weight and got in shape. It's sad that girls post pictures of themselves very overweight and you tell them you are concerned about their health and they get pissed. It really does filter out people from your life.
@Lydia E , I'm confused. Why would anyone want to stop being friends with you because you lost weight? That would never occur to me. When a friend of mine finally got healthy, I was proud of them, not rejecting them.
I prefer the freeze no one’s perfect you will never be perfect. Strive every day to be the best Newman you can strive for perfect health for perfect wealth for perfect success.
Bill is so right here on every point. But one major thing people are missing is the link between depression and being over weight. Many people know they are eating bad and it’s not healthy, but it’s the only enjoyment and escape they have away from their unhappy lives. It’s hard to make good decisions when you crave that good dopamine rush from junk food.
Good point. One fix is exercise as it boosts dopamine, of course the trouble is depression makes it so hard to do it. I’ve dealt with it myself. Bupropion has helped so much! I also thing menopause and hormones play a big role and that should be addressed. Massive income inequality and overwork from low pay and no mandated vacay probably does help with depression. :(
The real problem is that people equate love with saying nice things. So if you say something that is not "nice" then you hate the person. When in reality its usually the people who love you the most that will be honest with you and tell you the things no one else wants to.
As a pediatrician in the Deep South who tries to give this message to my patients every day, I am so appreciative of people like you who are still willing to speak the truth to the masses.
@Careful Icarus - What exactly is your problem. Lighten up, Francis. She's right for saying "the masses" are idiots when it comes to understanding their responsibility in their own health. I can just imagine all the obese urchins brought to her office every day by just-as-fat parents who feed their kids sticks of butter, grease, and ice cream every day.
@Aimee Ferrell good for you for trying help your patients, but how do you expect people to take care of their own health when they lack the education? and when they have to buy their groceries from Dollar Tree? Most GPs don’t even get proper nutrition education in medical school, if they get any nutrition education at all. our food and health care system is based around selling people cheap food that makes them sick over the long run (for a profit) and then selling them pills that makes them slightly less sick but doesn’t cure them (for a profit).
@@pumasheen - So wait... you're telling me the government educates all people in the United States yet none of them know anything about nutrition? Really? What school did you go to, because I remember TONS of nutrition education in school. TONS. I also heard of something called Google. Are you saying people don't know how to use Google and instead have to be taught about nutrition by their doctor? That's like expecting your auto mechanic to teach you how to drive a car.
I don’t typically agree with Bill, however I feel he is on point in asking people to participate in their own health. Don’t continue to destroy your body and expect others to pay for it.
Monique Rae Yup I agree 100%. I myself have a lot of lingering injuries from sports. I know being overweight is my biggest problem. I don’t need to go to a doctor for them to tell me what I already know. I already feel much better and I am only down 10 pounds.

When I got a back injury, I lived in denial about the weight I was carrying that was making it harder to deal with. I told myself comfortable lies like "You aren't that fat" and "you know people who are fatter than you." We need to stop lying to ourselves. I've since seen a nutritionist and lost 43lbs on a high protein, high fiber diet. Stop lying to yourself if you have a belly. The goal isn't to look good. The goal is to feel good and live longer.
Clayton Saint Cyr that's exactly it. We get comfortable, and we find it pointless, and sometimes feels like the goal is so far out of reach. All it took was for someone to call me a "fat fk" for the first time of my life lmao it hit me hard because I NEVER heard that before in my life, I was always thin, but gained weight due to depressing which only made it worse. But now I'm down 60lbs from 6 months ago. All I had to do was to stop eating so much. At first my eating habits were so out of control, that all I didn't was cut breakfast and dinner off of the menu, and only ate lunch. So I guess we can call it a calorie deficit and interment fasting
@Clayton Saint Cyr...big congrats to u on ur weight loss, but more so on ur honesty with urself, its one thing when people tell u to "lose weight"..."start working out"...its quite another when u look in the mirror n have that moment of clarity in knowing u have to do sumthin about it, @ the end of 2017 heading into 2018 i was 230 pounds, and im 5'9...as of me writting this comment i am a very healthy n comfy 165, i busted my ass to lose 75 pounds n now workout 3 times a week, which consists of lifting weights, and running 9 miles of hills a week, i have toned it down on the eating as well, it is possible people, we just have to go n fucken do it!!!...cheers to u clayton, i salute u
@@tonydiaz9458 Cheers to you too Tony! I'm glad you've found just as much success. I think more formerly fat people like us should be open like this to encourage others to lose weight for themselves rather than shaming them because they look bad. I think bullying people for it is bad but suggesting ways to fix it is better. You're right that it's a bit step to see the problem and actually do something about it. My biggest trick was not telling anyone when I started this diet because any other time I tried, people told me I would fail so much that I'd believe them. Those people were my biggest roadblock.
@Clayton Saint Cyr...thank u clayton, its compliments like urs from someone i did not know existed as of a few minutes ago that r really telling, n i have to say u hit the perverbial nail on the head, my cousins n best friends would tell me im not going to make it, other, stay fat, blah blah fucking blah...i cannot believe it is the people closest to u that either dont believe in u, or want to c one fail, but i dont let the chatter outside my realm affect me, ive let go of most of my social media as well, as that was basically no fucken help, i listen to myself, my wife, and my two kids, as those r the people that i do this for, so i can b there for them n take care of them, once again my brother big cheers to u, n continued success for 2020 n beyond, from ur friend Tony aka "el foo", from out here in Upland Ca 👍🏽
Norm W It’s such a strange situation that you just kinda blink, laugh and walk away. Especially when you consider the pathetic people who are saying it to you.
I cashier two nights a week at a grocery store for extra money and wouldn't touch about 98% of what we sell. I'm constantly both amazed and depressed at most of my customers purchases. Maher is right that healthy food is too expensive though.
People bought the nastiest junk. Mostly in the snack section, I was disgusted internally and most the customers were overweight. Always would say, ‘omg, i shouldn’t…I’m on a diet’ and proceeds to buy 10 Twinkies.
The fact that Joe says "James Cordon is not that fat", when Cordon is well over 300lbs(exaggeration) tells you how obese Americans are, when a morbidly obese man is considered "not that fat".
Notawesomeatall7, Jackie Gleason used to be considered fat in the 60s. He'd be trim today. Go to any supermarket in Atlanta, it looks like a cattle drive with these fat women.
Children in Africa are starving while Americans are stuffing their faces. If Americans ate what was needed to survive all that extra food could feed Africa 10 times over

They could get to a healthy weight by eating healthy with minimal exercise. Weightloss is 90% diet. They can still be lazy and eat healthy. So laziness isn't even an excuse they can attempt to use. They just need to stop stuffing their faces.
Mr.Bill you are so right about the obesity problem running rampant here in the U.S.,As a former "FATTIE" who once tipped the scales at an astonishing 350 pounds leading to a massive stroke which nearly killed me back in 2013 and by the grace of God and some much needed physical and mental rehabilitation and of course diet and exercise I am now at 190 pounds and I feel great...Now let me just state that it certainly wasn't easy but with a little grip and determination anything is possible...For anyone out there with a serious weigh problem you have my total and unconditional support 🙏🙏🙏...
I agree with Bill wholeheartedly. In this time of concern over the Covid 19 virus, maybe we should be equally, if not more, worried about the obesity epidemic.
@Jcorb Still applicable even today. Obesity messes up your immune system drastically so getting infected with COVID isn't going to help you. Yes wash your hands, wear a mask and social distance, but also put down the cheeseburger and fries and go out for a run.

I lost 50lbs in lockdown and my health drastically improved. So many people criticised me for my weight loss, and continue to pick at my now healthier eating habits.

Willie Gonzales Bernie is gunna raise taxes on the “working class”. Unless you pay a lot for healthcare every year or have a lot of student loans, you’ll be paying more if Bernie is president.
The Average Mama With Amy The thing I like about Bernie is that he is honest(unlike Warren) and he has already said several times that he will increase taxes on the middle class. His reasoning is that you should save money on deductibles and copays. But that’s because he’s basing it off the average in annual medical costs. But for a large portion of the middle class, this plan cost more overall. The people who spend a ton every year on prescription drugs and doctors visits will be the ones who save money overall.
made it to 280 lbs 5'9 and I felt disguisting, watching people over 400+ pounds on scooters and my dad couldn't walk cuz he had broke his ankle that was the day I got angry but I realized I was hypocrite because I was big myself, so I decided the least I can do is change myself... I am now 230 lbs working out and I can tell you the extra weight took my depression with it and I feel amazing better then I've felt in a long long time glad I decided to make that big change before it was too late...
Update: I now weigh 212 lbs exactly and am now motivating everybody around me to eat and stay healthy, health is one of the most important thing in life...
Its nothing new though. Just look at history and you'll see it's been going on a long time. Jesus told people the truth and he was literally killed for it.
Who decides the truth ? Who is the truthmaker like transgender people to them the truth is their the opposite sex so i think what you shoud say is their absolute truth
I lost 100 lbs in 5 months. In the 4th month I crossed over from "obese" to "overweight". And I'm constantly met by people who know me with compliments about how good I look. And while I enjoy a compliment as much as the next guy, this fact says something. This says to me that this "healthy at any size" and fat acceptance is bullshit. People don't really mean it. It's just a way to allow lazy people to feel better about their own laziness. There's two easy ways to avoid spending effort on fixing a problem. 1. Declare it unfixable. "I was born this way" 2. Declare it "not a problem". I stopped feeling good about being lazy, so I did what I had to do to fix it. And now that I have, I'm keeping up the effort to maintain my results.
I grew up being “the fat kid” and I’ll be damned if my daughter grows up being sad and insecure and unhealthy like I did. She’s 4 now and has always gotten a great check up.
Your such a great role model for your child on making sure she’s healthy now so she doesn’t have to deal with the stress later on in life. Wish the best to both of you ❤️
Agreed. Despite the fact that I disagree with him on about everything, I do have respect for the guy because he is smart and will actually have a dialog with those who disagree with him, a rarity anymore. Most liberals will just call you something you are not and walk away without actually having a discussion. In this case I feel he hit the nail right on the head and I'm with him 100% on what he said.
I feel like a lot of people just give up too easily. they diet for a week and are like, "omg why havent I lost 100 lbs?? :(", not realizing it takes time. months to even years to lose it all, depending on how big you are. you have to pretty much make health be your new life style
Don’t do it because Joe, Bill or Adele said this or that. Do it for yourself and those around you. Be healthy because that’s the way to get the most out of your life. You will be much happier.

Good for you! I think drinking calories in general is a bad habit. I've never drunken soda, but a while ago I tried cutting juice out of my diet and I also saw a big improvement.
It makes a huge difference. The only time I have soda now is when I go to a bar with friends and have rum and cokes. Other than that I never drink anywhere else, restaurants and everywhere else I always order water now, not to mention the money you save when you don't order soda.
I’m a skinnier guy and just naturally in shape. my whole life especially as younger kid before I started developing muscle mass I constantly got ridiculed by people who are overweight and bigger saying I look like a drug attic I’m too skinny and blah blah blah.

Yes, this defense has worked many times in court in these corporations favor.

There are some genetic differences that mean a person is a LITTLE more likely to be obese (it accounts for between 5-10lbs of fat, so no, it doesn't excuse Aunt Frida's 300lb ass). I watched an episode of a British show regarding fat loss/diets etc and there was this family of 4 on. Both parents and the 2 adult kids were obese. They were convinced they had the "fat gene". Welp, they take the test and nope, none of them have a genetic predisposition to obesity. The thin host on the other hand DID have a genetic predisposition to obesity. The family were humiliated.
@Jcorb I don't believe for one second there's a shred of genetic material that predisposes a person to being _obese._ Harder to keep the weight off? Yes. Harder to avoid the dietary pitfalls that stall metabolism? Yes. Injuries, illnesses, and abuses that can strip away the physiological, psychological, biochemical, and emotional anchors that directly affect bodily function and physical activity? Absolutely. Immutable genetic coding that dictates a person, long before birth, will have no choice but to be obese? No.
@jcorb There's an abundance of research that shows butter is good for you and then bad for you and then good for you again. Show me the research you're referring to and I can show you a whole different set of research demonstrating the exact opposite. Then you can throw out words like "ignorance" at me.
@jcorb You threw out an accusation before you even attempt to enter a contest of facts. That's how I know how much you actually know. Go ahead, pull up a research that shows you are not in complete control against obesity, and I'll show you 50 that says the opposite. Go ahead.

I remember what was on wic checks cause I would see em often. carton of eggs (good choice) gallon of milk (ok much better than soda) a loaf of bread (can be problematic as good as pbjs are they are high in calories but much worse choices can be made) Last was a big can of juicy juice which is 100 percent pure sugar. What is killing the U.S. is the breakup of the nuclear family with neither father or mother cooking for their kids. People just dont understand the value of making their own meals which often will lead to better choice.

I'm not really a fan, but he's correct about people taking care of their health. However, If we had a system where people had to pay their whole health care bills,--in full--our health care system wouldn't be so expensive. And people would be in much better health.
Unfortunately, there are health concerns which are *ENTIRELY* outside of one's control. I should know. I spent 35+ years as an athlete, training, working out, sacrificing energy and efforts for pain and gain, and the trouble is: I STARTED OUT UNLUCKY. I was *never* going to be Dwayne Johnson nor Tom Cruise, but you can see the incredible stuff I did on this very channel. But there are/were other things at play. Now, I only have like 6-12 years to live, but not *ONE BIT OF IT* is my fault. No way, no how. I busted my arse and ate pretty darn healthy. Didn't smoke, barely ever drank, and chose healthy food over garbage 10 times of 12. I did what I could, but my genetics/luck killed me, lol. 💪😎🤟 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
Non East Asian living in east Asia here. Eating the way locals eat made me obese. It’s a real problem with non-East Asian races in these regions.

I've been working as an EMT for a month and a half. A lot of our patients were severely overweight. They had accompanying issues such as hypertension, tachycardia, and diabetes. It's expensive as hell to transport someone to the hospital (not including interfacility transfers), do surgery, and paying overtime for the medical personnel that have to get called in or stay after the end of their shift. There has also been a greater incidence of injuries for EMS. Now you have workers comp, taking that EMT or medic out of service for awhile, pain meds, or even surgery.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that it’s not being poor that makes it hard to eat healthy. It’s feeling disempowered that makes it hard to eat healthy - and most people who are poor, feel disempowered. I’m saying this with a little experience under my belt, as I am a person with disabilities who has lived on her own, and been a recipient of Social Security benefits for the last 30 years. I think we’ve all been conditioned to think that we can’t have a good life if we’re financially poor. But it’s been my experience that you can, but you have to take matters into your own hands to do it. I also think that feeling disempowered has become socially acceptable. I don’t think that’s right either.

You can eat healthy on a small food budget. McDonald's isn't cheap, it's convenient. People are lazy about cooking.
Veggies are very cheap, people just don't want to eat them and like you said, very lazy.
That's the key. Finally someone who gets it
Whenever people say they can't do something a phrase comes to my mind "when there is a will, there is a way". If it was truly important people would find a way and time and money
You make a great point. I think they should require people on food stamps or poverty assistance to have to use 70% of there food stamps on produce and maybe 20% on protein and meats, with 10% going to junk Oreo's etc. Although the WIC program did help my family a lot and I was very appreciative of that. But we never used it for Stogey's soda or beer there was strict guidelines on which foods you got a discount on. All the processed food has way to much salt. I think that is one thing the guys didn't touch on in the interview the amount of sodium intake now is through the roof making people fat.
Bingo...and even what you eat isn't as important as how much. You can be trim on a McDonalds diet if you are working out and counting calories. Do the MyFitnessPal routine and you will lose weight as long as you can stay under your numbers.

Respectfully, if someone’s character is so weak, they’re not able to resist food when they wake up in the middle of the night, even though their health and their lives are on the line because they are so fat, and that person firstly needs to start preparing themselves mentally to be stronger.
I lost 100 pounds at a time when I was dirt poor. Eggs, beans, spinach, bananas, tuna, apples are all pretty cheap and very good for you. The two most important factors for losing weight though, are both completely free.
1. Water!! Drink more water!!
2. NO SUGAR!!! Cut out sugar completely!
Sugar isn't bad the only thing you need to do is create a calorie deficit, thats all you done nothing else!
Processed sugar is bad. Naturally occurring sugar in fruit and vegetables, legumes, greens etc is fine. The body runs on glucose and performs optimally on a healthy carbs diet. Protein's important but we don't need much.
@@rory644 Calorie deficit has been debunked, the body’s metabolism will just adjust to burn less calories if you aren’t taking in the right kind of food....

That theory of personal responsability is endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce, the most pro business association in America defending the fast food industry and big pharma among others . It goes like this: you are fat because you eat too much and dont exercise because you are also lazy. The food industry is using science to recompose food with hi sugar hi fructose and hi carbohydrates from GMO cereals. The meat industry is using growth and sexual hormones in cattle and pork, the farming industry uses Glyphosate and sterilize the soil from any nutrients and minerals. Then they sell it you, ask you to put it in amicrowave and blame you for getting sick. Bill Mahler is an asshole.

Good for you!
Dear mag keep going you’re on a good path. Consider taking a food sensitivity test Everybody has different body chemistry For food groups And the pyramid concept is a lie When it comes to good health. For example, my blood when I took a food sensitivity test reacts very poor to chicken for red meat is much more healthy I get inflammation when I eat chicken with egg cows, milk Bananas and pineapples are Food sensitivity test I would never have known.

As a female who was previously overweight, it was very intriguing to see how once I lost weight and got fit and healthy, the friends that I lost too. Honestly I consider it a blessing in disguise, because it was a great way to filter out my real friends from my fake ones. Considering my father's side of the family has a history of diabetes and I was very close to following down that path if I hadn't made this life change, I will not go back for anyone's comfort. Maher is right, this shift in the idea that being obese is fine is pretty crazy considering how many health issues it leads to.
Wow that's crazy. I think I made more friends after I lost 33 pounds as as teenager. I'm not from the US though and I was appluaded by most people for losing my weight.
I love this story because I too lost weight and got in shape. It's sad that girls post pictures of themselves very overweight and you tell them you are concerned about their health and they get pissed. It really does filter out people from your life.
@Lydia E , I'm confused. Why would anyone want to stop being friends with you because you lost weight? That would never occur to me. When a friend of mine finally got healthy, I was proud of them, not rejecting them.

Bill is so right here on every point. But one major thing people are missing is the link between depression and being over weight. Many people know they are eating bad and it’s not healthy, but it’s the only enjoyment and escape they have away from their unhappy lives. It’s hard to make good decisions when you crave that good dopamine rush from junk food.
Good point. One fix is exercise as it boosts dopamine, of course the trouble is depression makes it so hard to do it. I’ve dealt with it myself. Bupropion has helped so much! I also thing menopause and hormones play a big role and that should be addressed. Massive income inequality and overwork from low pay and no mandated vacay probably does help with depression. :(

The real problem is that people equate love with saying nice things. So if you say something that is not "nice" then you hate the person. When in reality its usually the people who love you the most that will be honest with you and tell you the things no one else wants to.

As a pediatrician in the Deep South who tries to give this message to my patients every day, I am so appreciative of people like you who are still willing to speak the truth to the masses.
I don't think Aimee Ferrell meant the word "masses" in a derogatory way.
@Careful Icarus - What exactly is your problem. Lighten up, Francis. She's right for saying "the masses" are idiots when it comes to understanding their responsibility in their own health. I can just imagine all the obese urchins brought to her office every day by just-as-fat parents who feed their kids sticks of butter, grease, and ice cream every day.
Careful Icarus masses: a considerable assemblage, number, or quantity. I suspect Bill’s audience is sufficient to qualify
@Aimee Ferrell good for you for trying help your patients, but how do you expect people to take care of their own health when they lack the education? and when they have to buy their groceries from Dollar Tree? Most GPs don’t even get proper nutrition education in medical school, if they get any nutrition education at all. our food and health care system is based around selling people cheap food that makes them sick over the long run (for a profit) and then selling them pills that makes them slightly less sick but doesn’t cure them (for a profit).
@@pumasheen - So wait... you're telling me the government educates all people in the United States yet none of them know anything about nutrition? Really?

When I got a back injury, I lived in denial about the weight I was carrying that was making it harder to deal with. I told myself comfortable lies like "You aren't that fat" and "you know people who are fatter than you." We need to stop lying to ourselves. I've since seen a nutritionist and lost 43lbs on a high protein, high fiber diet. Stop lying to yourself if you have a belly. The goal isn't to look good. The goal is to feel good and live longer.
Clayton Saint Cyr that's exactly it. We get comfortable, and we find it pointless, and sometimes feels like the goal is so far out of reach. All it took was for someone to call me a "fat fk" for the first time of my life lmao it hit me hard because I NEVER heard that before in my life, I was always thin, but gained weight due to depressing which only made it worse. But now I'm down 60lbs from 6 months ago. All I had to do was to stop eating so much. At first my eating habits were so out of control, that all I didn't was cut breakfast and dinner off of the menu, and only ate lunch. So I guess we can call it a calorie deficit and interment fasting

But for a large portion of the middle class, this plan cost more overall. The people who spend a ton every year on prescription drugs and doctors visits will be the ones who save money overall.

I lost 100 lbs in 5 months. In the 4th month I crossed over from "obese" to "overweight". And I'm constantly met by people who know me with compliments about how good I look. And while I enjoy a compliment as much as the next guy, this fact says something.
This says to me that this "healthy at any size" and fat acceptance is bullshit. People don't really mean it. It's just a way to allow lazy people to feel better about their own laziness.
There's two easy ways to avoid spending effort on fixing a problem.
1. Declare it unfixable. "I was born this way"
2. Declare it "not a problem".
I stopped feeling good about being lazy, so I did what I had to do to fix it. And now that I have, I'm keeping up the effort to maintain my results.
I grew up being “the fat kid” and I’ll be damned if my daughter grows up being sad and insecure and unhealthy like I did. She’s 4 now and has always gotten a great check up.
Your such a great role model for your child on making sure she’s healthy now so she doesn’t have to deal with the stress later on in life. Wish the best to both of you ❤️
Not crazy about Bill Maher but actually found this quite reasonable
Never thought I would agree with him on anything. Maybe he's OK.
He has his moments. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, I guess.
Yeah he is very reasonable and sane.
That is because in this podcast he sounds so much like a conservative.
Agreed. Despite the fact that I disagree with him on about everything, I do have respect for the guy because he is smart and will actually have a dialog with those who disagree with him, a rarity anymore. Most liberals will just call you something you are not and walk away without actually having a discussion. In this case I feel he hit the nail right on the head and I'm with him 100% on what he said.
I feel like a lot of people just give up too easily. they diet for a week and are like, "omg why havent I lost 100 lbs?? :(", not realizing it takes time. months to even years to lose it all, depending on how big you are. you have to pretty much make health be your new life style
Don’t do it because Joe, Bill or Adele said this or that. Do it for yourself and those around you. Be healthy because that’s the way to get the most out of your life. You will be much happier.
I love how Bill is concerned about what the truth is, rather than pleasing conservatives or progressives.
Elizabeth Lassiter , I love how Bill Maher is against Medicare for all when 3.3 million people lost their health insurance through their employer ..... how somebody can defend the actual system ? And one candidate openly saying he would veto Medicare for all if he becomes president ( Biden) and another one that call it venezuela ( trump) ... bravo 👏👏👏
jean duque I suggest you read a bit more, a lot of the information I’ve read is that Maher supports the Medicare-for-all universal healthcare.
Elizabeth Lassiter sorry but Bill only appears like he is unbiased. He’s openly said he gives campaign contributions to Democrats and leans towards Democrats. He knows Bernie has a snowballs chance in hell to win and his platform is dumb. Give people free shit and they’ll vote for me. That hasn’t been said before?
@Christopher Nichols Limbaugh said the same thing when Obama was president. Two guys who wouldn't be hurt either way.
I agree with man on some things, and he is clearly intelligent, but the fact that he wished a recession upon us shows how a-moral he is.
Then James Cordon was in Cats and his character sang about being a fat cat.
And then he was a "fat pussy" the rest of the year! Lol
U watch that shit?
What??
@torex that was the first thing that came to my mind as well. LMAO
The NobleDukester Try the rest of his life
Only fat people have told me to "get more meat on your bones"
I'm lean and toned, I love my body and I take care of it.
This was an excellent discussion - we need more of this.
I quit soda this year. Ultimately, I just feel better and have more energy!
including diet?
I broke my addiction to soda in 2019... trust me it helps
Good for you!
I think drinking calories in general is a bad habit. I've never drunken soda, but a while ago I tried cutting juice out of my diet and I also saw a big improvement.
I did the same thing! I wish you luck 👍
@@limbo576 fuck yeah! That's what I like to hear!
It makes a huge difference. The only time I have soda now is when I go to a bar with friends and have rum and cokes. Other than that I never drink anywhere else, restaurants and everywhere else I always order water now, not to mention the money you save when you don't order soda.
2020 is the year of no soda for me, im cutting out snack foods also
Everybody's got their own battles and demons, whether you know about them or can tell. We're all human.
I’m a skinnier guy and just naturally in shape. my whole life especially as younger kid before I started developing muscle mass I constantly got ridiculed by people who are overweight and bigger saying I look like a drug attic I’m too skinny and blah blah blah. I just ignored it. I understand the emotions that caused them to say that to me but what’s really worrisome is how much backing theyd get from other people when they did it. I’m in excellent shape and I still get people saying oh you’re too skinny. For reference I’m 5’11” 165-170
I was 6'2" 175 lbs in high school, class of 80
Nobody thought I was skinny.
Times sure have changed.
6ft tall and 180lbs... now I'm the "skinny" person at work! I think I still want to lose 5-10lbs before summer!
I have really never agreed with Maher on almost everything but this time he is spot on. Americans need stop eating at the trough.
rfc 6486 stop watching Tucker Carlson so much give Bill a chance
@@deadcorpert619 this centrist millionaire is basically saying poor people are to dumb to allow the USA to have a Nationalized health care system, the working class that barely can afford to be sick because if the are they loose their low income and struggle to survive at the end of the month. This group of people, a group of people that can't even afford healthcare, i guess the solution in Mahers eyes is to remove low income humans from the equation, because some are fat.
This fucking loon and his centrist bullshit has the gall to point the finger at us.
@@deadcorpert619 I see no indication that OP or Bill Maher support overseas wars. Why are you railing about that? All they are saying is lowering obesity rates would reduce the strain on our healthcare system, which it would. And then talking about the 1%, who are you talking to dude? You're bringing up all this shit that we weren't even discussing. Those are all separate issues and separate debates. Let's not pretend that we can't tackle obesity without bringing in every other political opinion you hold.
Because he is not playing his character from his show and more true to his own self on this podcast.
Nate J are you saying all these things are keeping you from eating right? White rice, dry beans, eggs, water, whatever green veg is in season. Cook your own food. Portion control. It’s a Huge money saver and it’s preventative health care. If that’s too complicated, then I don’t know what to tell you.
Cut out processed food and healthcare costs will drop to unheard of levels.
U might want to cut out sugar aswell.
XHALE303 not all sugar is the same. High fructose corn syrup is the worst.
Remember those ads with “farmers” stating “sugar is sugar, your body doesn’t know the difference”. Those ads were full on lies being spoon fed to the public by corporate interests.
@@fernie51296 No i don't, remember them, Lying ads like that are not allowed in the developed part of the world & i don't watch TV. The only ''good'' sugars are those in fruits, High insuline is mainly what makes people store fat & gives them diabetes, wich can easily be solved by intermittent fasting.
But since there is no money in that, they will never make ads for that & rather kill them by giving them more insuline even tho their bodies resist it
XHALE303 lying ads are actually common here in the U.S. I’m not sure what it’s like where you are from. These companies often exploit loopholes in the law to get away with it when sued in court. For example, having paid for “researches” make bogus claims to “back up” their claims. Making it technically not a lie from THEIR perspective. They also use the “reasonable assumption” defense. Like certain sugary drinks that are marketed as being healthy. And when they are sued over it, they claim it’s not breaking the law because it’s “obvious” that what they are saying isn’t truthful. Yes, this defense has worked many times in court in these corporations favor.
But then cancer rates would drop and the oligarchs would have less control over us all.. These clowns want to bankroll the whole broken system! Crazy
Never in my life would I ever think I’d wake up and agree with Bill Maher. I feel like the dude makes a lot of sense on a lot of things outside of politics
We live in an ultra-sensitive society where everyone needs a safe space. IMO- social media is really fueling the fire here
*"It's the fat gene."*
Translation: "I could absolutely do it, but I'd have to work harder at it... so, no. Also, it's 100% not my fault I'm fat."
There are some genetic differences that mean a person is a LITTLE more likely to be obese (it accounts for between 5-10lbs of fat, so no, it doesn't excuse Aunt Frida's 300lb ass).
I watched an episode of a British show regarding fat loss/diets etc and there was this family of 4 on. Both parents and the 2 adult kids were obese. They were convinced they had the "fat gene".
Welp, they take the test and nope, none of them have a genetic predisposition to obesity.
The thin host on the other hand DID have a genetic predisposition to obesity. The family were humiliated.
@Jcorb I don't believe for one second there's a shred of genetic material that predisposes a person to being _obese._ Harder to keep the weight off? Yes. Harder to avoid the dietary pitfalls that stall metabolism? Yes. Injuries, illnesses, and abuses that can strip away the physiological, psychological, biochemical, and emotional anchors that directly affect bodily function and physical activity? Absolutely.
Immutable genetic coding that dictates a person, long before birth, will have no choice but to be obese? No.
@jcorb There's an abundance of research that shows butter is good for you and then bad for you and then good for you again. Show me the research you're referring to and I can show you a whole different set of research demonstrating the exact opposite. Then you can throw out words like "ignorance" at me.
@jcorb You threw out an accusation before you even attempt to enter a contest of facts. That's how I know how much you actually know. Go ahead, pull up a research that shows you are not in complete control against obesity, and I'll show you 50 that says the opposite. Go ahead.
@jcorb I'm not fishing out your comment who knows when and where. IF you were able to post one link to back yourself up, you're certainly able to do it right here. Why can't you do that? Is this buying you time?
I love the Freudian slip from Joe. "The only smooth handling the government does is the news...I mean the mail".
I don't get how he can say the mail does a good job
The post office loses 10's of billions every year
hahr hahr hahr hahr, yeahh...
You're misunderstanding the meaning of Freudian slip. And I imagine he meant Newspaper
First time I’ve seen someone mention a Freudian Slip in a long time. I remember my psychology teacher teaching us about Freud and Freudian Slips. And I remember she was a hot milf teacher that wasn’t too old either so it wasn’t so bad.
I was underweight for several years from undiagnosed health issues and that never stopped anyone from telling me I looked like I had an eating disorder. Come to find out I actually had celiac disease which caused severe stomach issues and weightloss. Yet we can't tell people who are overweight the same thing? Hypocritical ya think?
I used to bag groceries as my first job way back when. I remember what was on wic checks cause I would see em often. carton of eggs (good choice) gallon of milk (ok much better than soda) a loaf of bread (can be problematic as good as pbjs are they are high in calories but much worse choices can be made) Last was a big can of juicy juice which is 100 percent pure sugar. What is killing the U.S. is the breakup of the nuclear family with neither father or mother cooking for their kids. People just dont understand the value of making their own meals which often will lead to better choice. When you start to read those labels of that processed garbage you start to realize holy crap there is a lot of salt and a lot of calories here.
And too much calories taken in as liquids. Soda keeps us moving due to the sugar rush and caffeine. But it also expands are waste lines exponentially with all the corn syrup in it. We tax alcohol and tobacco. Why on God's Green Earth are we not taxing the crap out of soda?
"How dare you drunk shame me!?!" Haha! Well spoken Bill.
I've been saying for a long time that if people ate well and exercised they wouldn't need 10 drugs a day. People need to stop expecting doctors and pills to fix their bad choices. I love this conversation so much.
My Dads been saying that for over 50 years.
Some studies suggest that 85% of all hospital patients are there because of "lifestyle" related disease. Smoking, drinking. lack of exercise, poor diet.
Bullshit.
@@truthhurts1339 100% is.
@@danielamourose6361 Dude, obesity is a risk factor for just about every disease in the book, even cancer. Regular excercise and a clean diet (not EXPENSIVE, just CLEAN) will do wonders for your body.
I don't list Mr. Maher as one of my favorite people, but he's on point here. Cheer for the mean man who tells the truth.
the weight conversation is always a tough one but I'm proud of Joe for talking about it. As a friend of mine said "It's hard to be fat, and it's also hard to workout, so choose your hard!"... and it is true! Pick your hard in life. You can workout and benefit in a ton of ways... or go the other way with the other hard...
Exercise is good but you do not loose weight with exercise but by not exercising your jaws. That is it.
I've been working out ever since high school and I love it! It's an ingrained habit now.
As someone who lives in Britain and pays taxes (20% of my damn wage)
I would rather it go to helping people who are unable to help themselves, NOT those who choose not to
20% is the vat, your tax is more like 30/35%.. in the Netherlands its more like 45% but its shows in our society.. I’ve been working in the Uk for 25years and the Netherlands is better in almost every way.. can see that with my own eyes and it’s being said by almost every British person I talk to who’ve been to my country..
if you don't like it then fuck off to join the Yanks, problem solved
We pay more than that in the US and we have a real president
@@phoenixwright7802 so you think people who choose not to work should be payed for by the state?
@@jacknorris6121 what kind of life do you think living on the dole actually provides someone? people just exist whilst living on this money. it's no way to save for the future or live a life to same standards as one who goes to work. you trying to frame it in such a simplistic way is part of the problem.
Americans need to learn how to be hungry again.
National Trolliosis Foundation the poor in America are fatter than those who aren't poor.
Clandestine Reactionary that’s because processed foods are cheaper than natural organic foods.
I love hatred Nah. I've been poor and in college. Carton of eggs, oatmeal, cottage cheese: cheap. Most expensive thing I'd have to buy would be coffee.
@@lifeismeaningless5512 " processed foods are cheaper "
that is pure fantasy. I get rice at 50 cents a pound and beans at the same. raw vegetables are around 1 to 2 dollars a pound and raw meat is 2 to 4 dollars a pound. Purchasing unprocessed foods and cooking my own meals keeps my food bills down around 100 dollars a month. I've had that same budget for over 8 years. Its nutritious and delicious and it is VERY cheap.
@@clandestinereactionary1842 The fat people in America is actually widespread poverty. Too much cheap foods high in starch being eaten like rice, bread, noodles, etc.
I love his honesty. PC Culture is outta hand. People can't even handle truth.
As someone who was 315 lbs a year ago and depressed and wanting to eat until I had a heart attack and one day I started to take better care of my health by eating healthier and being more active and it is one of the best decisions you can make not only for physical health but also mental health too I’m currently 82lbs down and still got a lot more to go
Why can't Bill be more like this on his show?
Silver Fox because unfortunately the majority of his audience is looney toon soft liberal.
@@foreverdissenting3675 No, they aren't. He has a lot of down the middle and even rightwing Bill fans.
Because a sensible opinion won't get views. Buy hey, get your money.
He’s pretty much the same on his show.
Don't suppose you've watched his show much as he's not really any different between that venue and this.
I’ll say one thing about Bill......he’s brutally honest about some things
One of the very last people on the entire planet I agree more than a 90% on.
3:26 Jamie pulls to a wide shot while he runs out to take a piss
Bill Maher the most republican democrat on tv.
The whole podcast is enlightened centrism tbh, joe only has strong opinions on DMT and chimp viciousness.
@keith mcdowell why not direct deposit?
The most misinformed comedian/host & best buddies with Benjamin Netanyahu. That's all I need to know.
He begged for a recession to get trump out of office...real republican
Holy shit Jason Blaha! I knew the CIA was watching Joe
"beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but health is Science." - Bill Maher.
Excellent quote, too bad he can't tell it regularly to his viewers.
He CONSTANTLY promotes wellness and fat shames. Constantly. You don’t watch his show. You watch Tucker Carlson and you think every time he frowns at the camera he wins an argument.
Stop judging everything by political beliefs. Either listen to people from both sides, or don’t listen to anybody. People like you who lie about everything and everyone are the reason society keeps poisoning itself.
He literally said in this clip that he did a whole segment on his show about obesity.................
God forbid grow your own food for a fraction of the grocery store.
don't always agree with Bill but absolutely agree on this point
"The government doesnt do anything smoothly other than delivering the news..." Freudian slip!
Goebbels would orgasm using modern psychoanalysis, utilizing meta data to custom create adjustments of reality. No one aware of the custom news anyone else consumed, everyone assuming it's the same news.

You don’t know what “Freudian slip” means.
@@josevelazquez4879 yea I'm trying to think of how or why thats what Joe realy thinks and it doesn't make sense. If any thing it's the oposit.

Just moderates in general I am a conservative who wishes the Far Right would also just stop talking.

The phrase comes to mind "Come as you are." That doesn't mean STAY AS YOU ARE.
"Taking responsibility for your health"- why I'll always be a Bill Maher fan for life!😎🤙
I'm not really a fan, but he's correct about people taking care of their health. However, If we had a system where people had to pay their whole health care bills,--in full--our health care system wouldn't be so expensive. And people would be in much better health.
@@mysticaltyger2009 l
I think Bill should take care responsibility for his massive ego.
So you never knew that until bill mahar said it?
people freaking out about covid. 40k die from obesity per month!
Unfortunately, there are health concerns which are *ENTIRELY* outside of one's control. I should know. I spent 35+ years as an athlete, training, working out, sacrificing energy and efforts for pain and gain, and the trouble is: I STARTED OUT UNLUCKY. I was *never* going to be Dwayne Johnson nor Tom Cruise, but you can see the incredible stuff I did on this very channel.
But there are/were other things at play. Now, I only have like 6-12 years to live, but not *ONE BIT OF IT* is my fault. No way, no how. I busted my arse and ate pretty darn healthy. Didn't smoke, barely ever drank, and chose healthy food over garbage 10 times of 12. I did what I could, but my genetics/luck killed me, lol. 💪😎🤟

That’s why most Japanese have normal weight because of their food system.
people that live in Japanese like cities have the same disposition, I think has a lot to do with not driving in a car.
Non East Asian living in east Asia here. Eating the way locals eat made me obese. It’s a real problem with non-East Asian races in these regions. I think we’ve all adapted to eating a certain ratio of macronutrients that’s unique to our genetic pool and what’s worked with me is eating the way my grandparents would have. Not a scientist but just theorising anecdotally.
Johnathan Myers they don’t use car alot infact they use mostly bikes going to work. my father is living there for a long time now he don’t buy a motorcycle.
@@angryowl5972 My sister gained weight in Japan eating the same food as the Japanese. She can't eat carbs likes they do, she got seek when she eats rice. She was able to lose some weight by reducing her carb intake. Hope that help.
No, Japanese are so obsessed with beauty that anorexia is like an unwritten rule, combined with working until you die. Things aren't good here, but they also aren't good over there.
Joe "Weight Watchers is now WW"
Bill "Wait What?"
underrated comment
thank you Bill for always telling the truth no matter what
Sooo true what you guys say.l enjoyed this discussion 👏
I've been working as an EMT for a month and a half. A lot of our patients were severely overweight. They had accompanying issues such as hypertension, tachycardia, and diabetes.
It's expensive as hell to transport someone to the hospital (not including interfacility transfers), do surgery, and paying overtime for the medical personnel that have to get called in or stay after the end of their shift.
There has also been a greater incidence of injuries for EMS. Now you have workers comp, taking that EMT or medic out of service for awhile, pain meds, or even surgery.
"let's boo the mean man who told the truth, that's not brave"...Bill, are you speaking about yourself?
Yes, he was
Don’t like Bill , but he makes good points , sometimes , other times he king Duch .
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that it’s not being poor that makes it hard to eat healthy. It’s feeling disempowered that makes it hard to eat healthy - and most people who are poor, feel disempowered. I’m saying this with a little experience under my belt, as I am a person with disabilities who has lived on her own, and been a recipient of Social Security benefits for the last 30 years. I think we’ve all been conditioned to think that we can’t have a good life if we’re financially poor. But it’s been my experience that you can, but you have to take matters into your own hands to do it. I also think that feeling disempowered has become socially acceptable. I don’t think that’s right either.
