People do not eat because they are hungry. They eat to entertain themselves. If you want to help stop showing food commercials every 10 minutes on all TV channels
Fascinating information. I'd like to add, in North America, and in particular America, the available food options are very heavily processed food. Take out fast food and food in the grocery store. Shop and buy your food from the perimeter of the grocery store. And walk everyday. Processed, canned food are awful. Even those heavily processed "bagged" bread is awful. High in preservatives, salt, sugar, fat. And most fast food and deep fried food is the devil. You want fast food, go eat at an Asian place.
Hook people to junk food, then pay for their medicine to lose weight, an excellent plan. Just educate and make it available for people to eat plant food. Has government negotiated the prices of these expensive drugs? It is a sad situation.

She is spot on with all the multi factors, of the puzzle. So many factors involved with the initial push of first intentional weight gain, which kicks the body's wild settings gyroscope of mechanisms in. External factors that are extreme lead to gain as a matter of survival initially. Then the roller coaster begins. Ironically it can sometimes reverse as a matter of other events, that lend to major lifestyle change in general not even related to food, but that come together eventually bringing most of the multi factors closer to the set point before the first major change occurred. So much of it is autoñomic function.
No doubt it is primarily the fault of food companies that add chemicals that cause hunger regardless of how much food is eaten, so charge the food companies a billion dollars a year per food company. Also drug companies and polluting companies with forever chemicals, etc. Sounds like your generation was also the cigarette smoking generation; cigarettes helped reduce weight at the expense of causing various cancers and other health issues. The Great Depression and WW II caused a lot of stress; for many, that stress was introduced into the family to the adverse affect of kids who are now grown up and obese in part due to that family stress.
This is just the first OxyContin. Business models built on carb addiction. 20 years ago I considered myself more informed, more disciplined and more discriminatory of what I ate. I was still 45 pounds overweight. I started exercising doing something I loved so I did it hard. Unburdened by a relationship that wanted to eat out, have snacks.... I only ate when I felt like it. What I was aware of but not way was that when I exercised hard for three hours, halfway through I thought I could keep going. But after the whole work out I got in my car drove home and on the way recovered, and didn't feel hungry. I liked it. Shed the 45 pounds and put on a lot of muscle. Later I learned I had become fat adapted. My body was using fat for fuel. Living on carbs our bodies are not used to it. Back in the day people were more keto than the obese generations. 6 years ago I started doing a keto diet, and most of my calories are fats. Carb addicts like heroic addicts are not undisciplined -- they're junkies. Once we lower the carbs in our diets but replacing them with good fat calories, we suddenly realize hunger is just a signal, not a fire alarm. (I just had to remind myself to eat my first food of the day.) The good part of this is adding the fats satiate hunger, we miss the carbs but the impulse is not overwhelming. If we count our calories and exercise. Walk slow? Then walk for four hours. Don't have the time? Visit a cemetery. They have plenty of time.
Treating the symptoms, but not the cause of obesity. We need to reduce sugar consumption in processed foods and get people to pay more attention to eating food that is not processed.
I work so hard to watch my weight, working out, running, intermittent fasting. I don't care more about my health than others, but I'm superficial and want to look good. The shallow reasons are the best reasons.
Glp1 saved me big time. Hypothyroidism made it impossible to lose weight I had gained from having two ankle surgeries. I dieted and exercised with a trainer for 6 years and lost 20 lbs. I am gluten free dairy free and only eat organic foods and still could not lose the weight ! I lost 100 lbs in a year with glp1. What’s crazy is I ate more calories losing weight on glp1 then I did without it. If you have insulin resistance from hypothyroidism or another disease this stuff works ! There are side effects and you have to really monitor your blood work. Overall my blood work has improved. I do not think it is for already thin ppl with no medical issues to lose 20 lbs to be a size 2.
Three fourths of American adults are obese? Are you sure that shouldn't be "obese or overweight"? It takes a Body Mass Index of 30 to be obese, but just 25 to be overweight. I'm stuck at 26 something for my BMI, but I'm far from obese. I wish people talking about weight would keep the two separate.
ok the woman has consulted and worked with pharmaceutical companies on obesity drugs…and she says we need to get them covered by Medicaid…and prescribe them more often…we’re just gonna trot right by that BLATANT conflict of interest without more questioning than this? What an embarrassment. Whether she’s right or not, this could have been handled better.

I have several comments I'd like to make but I'd like to start off with saying you can actually tell how much a person is actually lying by how many times they say actually. I just like to point out that poor people get the cheapest food because it is what they can afford and it is horrible for your health so poor people are going to be sick sick sick and now they want to sell you medication to fix that it makes me sick!!

I'm so happy to hear that America's crisis is obesity, rather than chronic stupidity, or maybe being stupid correlates with obesity. Both are on the rise.
No one talking about the PFAS in over 50% of US tap water. Sure, is the US diet bad? Yep, but as of 2024, obesogens have overtaken diet and lifestyle as the leading cause of obesity. At least give people in the US a chance by taking these types of chemicals out of our environment. 😢
Americans who are obese should exercise and eat properly. I follow both tenets and am not overweight. I don't want one tax dollar to be given to the obese. The idea that drugs are going to solve the problem is asinine. Further, no tax money should be used if the obese suffer from diseases related to obesity. Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, etc should NOT be covered by medicare/medicaid.
We ought to stop spending tax dollars for things that encourage obesity. Those include subsidizing crop insurance for corn that is used to make high fructose corn syrup. Our zoning laws spread homes and businesses out in suburban sprawl that requires a lot of public spending on roads and infrastructure. Then people drive more and walk less and get heavier. At least we should stop spending tax money encouraging obesity.
@@karld1791 Yes, HFCS has been proven to be a killer of health and wellness despite marketing by the industry saying otherwise. Farmers need to be subsidized to grow healthy food, and food industries should be severely punished for turning food into chemicals that ruin health and wellness.
How much we store is a matter of calories we eat, nothing else. So if someone is controlling his/her calories he/she will loose fat or will increase the weight. It has absolutly nothing to do with the brain, the same calories the same outcome for the person. Yes there are high processed food they taste good and we will eat more because it tastes so good. But in die end when the calories are controlled you will loose fat! it doesnt matter what you eat
I wouldn’t say it’s just calories. I’m a long distance runner, (I have a ten mike run video on my TH-cam Channel.) I find 12 miles a week for me is the bare minimum before I start gaining weight. Sleep plays into it. Stress. Yes, I do count calories but for that to matter I have to drop my caloric intake to a very low level. (You kinda have to think of snacks as meals.) OMAD one meal a day is perfectly feasible in the USA just because of how dense our calories are. Hunger and stress feel similar.

@@austinlevreault6211 In the end it is a matter of calories. Every Person has his individual Energy Balance but in the End the only Thing that matters are calories.
