Couldn’t agree more! We still need to learn a lot about obesity! My 2 daughters are 2 years apart, they get fed the same (mostly fresh cooked food) yet they are basically a science experiment. Why? Because the 10 year old has been obese since she was 7. Doesn’t matter what we do, she enjoys dancing and is an active kid, she likes healthy food as much as unhealthy food and it doesn’t matter if she eats less or more - she doesn’t loose weight. We aren’t putting her on a diet (my psychology and nutrition background helps) but still try to teach her the science behind everything. But my 8 year old has always been slightly underweight. She gained a little bit during lockdown because she couldn’t do her regular sport activities but she’s still on the edge of being underweight. We even struggled often because she lost weight everytime she was sick and couldn’t gain it back. The one difference which influenced their bodies? My thyroid. I was gaining weight during the first pregnancy and had to take thyroid medications because of hypothyroidism. After the pregnancy the doctor made multiple mistakes: first, he didn’t tell me I had Hashimoto‘s which is an autoimmune disorder. The he told me to stop taking my medication. He said I would be okay now without it and don’t need it, which isn’t true. You need the thyroid medication to stop the thyroid’s function. That way it doesn’t get attacked by the immune system. During my second pregnancy I had a big Hashimoto’s flare, my thyroid got attacked a lot, the sono showed a lot of changes after the pregnancy. I lost a lot of weight, basically everything I gained during the first pregnancy. And no, I didn’t eat much different. My Hashimoto’s is still not under control, my auto-antibodies are sky high and the thyroid levels aren’t controlled either. Everything just because the doctor didn’t bother to look up what my diagnosis was. It contributed to the development of my other autoimmune disorder called relapsing polychondritis which can be lethal. Not fun.
It's not even overweight genes, it's overweight epigenetics. If the body that you were created out of (your mom's body) is used to being overweight, your body starts off being used to being overweight. It's like being born obese (on the inside. :P) and fighting an uphill battle to retrain your epigenetics to be used to being skinny.
Actually there was a study, I think "it's ok to be smart" channel talked about it, which showed genes do play a big role in our weight. Although the study targeted weight loose, fitness and strength/mussel building. Basically what they did, they took a number of people with approximately the same weight and fitness level and put all though carefully designed training regiment. Some people achieved expected results before target time, while some barely changed at all. So maybe there's no obese gen strictly speaking (although who knows, maybe there is, I wouldn't be surprised) there are clearly genes that prevent us from keeping slim figure and good fitness level without almost extreme discipline.
My concern is people blaming their weight on unchangeable factors like genes, upbringing etc because it gives them a free pass on just being more disciplined. Even if these factors have made the impact, being unchangeable means they're not worth worrying about then! So instead let's make lifestyle changes on what IS changeable; for the longterm, and for longterm benefit. I've never heard of someone radically changing their diet and committing to exercise and not --eventually-- seeing positive results, as long as they keep learning and improving. Not to mention the encyclopedia of reasons why regular exercise is crucial to the functioning of the human body. Health and fitness isn't just about losing fat and looking like Baywatch. It's also about, you know... health. And fitness.
1. going to sleep makes it easier for the metabolism to switch into ketosis which will cause the body to burn fat in your fat cells. 2. adipose tissue/fat cells will more likely release more fat to burn when it cold. 3. preprocessed sugars like fructose are absorb almost immediately into the blood stream and if not burned/used immediately is converted into fat. 4. if the mother is starving during pregnancy will make the fetus obesity ... see the Dutch Famine Study ... a classic epigenetic study 5. (thin oriented ) Fecal pills or probiotics can establish a thin metabolism 6. Eating healthy means a diet naturally rich in fiber and low in carbohydrates and low in processed foods.
Well, yes, but I didn't mean it like that lol. More like fat people and skinny people usually have problems correctly estimating the actual amount of calories they eat.
I'm fat. I dont eat alot. I eat about the amount that I should. My brother is skinny. he eats alot. he eats more than he should. only difference is, I dont move enough. he doesnt either, but he doesnt have to. because his metabolism doesnt work the same as mine does. people have different kinds of metabolisms, and thats not a bad thing. I would survive for longer in the wild than he would. but we are not in the wild, we are in a civilization where people like me have to try a bit harder than others to become and stay fit. its not just the food we eat. there are alot of factors.
Ozy mandias No. You eat a lot. Most fat people highly underestimate the amount of food they eat. And skinny people over-estimate the amount of food they eat. My sister also thinks she eats a lot - she does not. She nibbles on things once in a while and never finishes her dinner. Once you realise how much calories you are actually, objectively eating, you can plan for weight loss accordingly. Because I assure you, you are eating a LOT more than you think. A regular person should only be eating 1200-1400 calories a day. Oh, and metabolism has absolutely nothing to do with it. It's calories in, calories out. Also, the fat ones always get targeted first by predators since they are slower. Fat animals do not exist in the wild.
***** they do not exist because its alot harder to get food in the wild and they get alot more exercise. I'm fairly aware how much my brother and I and many others eat, I eat the same or a lesser amount than most. it often surprise me how much some people eat and how thin they are. my brother and I once tested that out and ate exactly the same for a week while doing about the same exercise (not alot, we are both lazy). he lost 7kg and my weight stayed the same. and I hope you dont seriously think its just calories in and calories out. its alot more complicated than that.
Being more active can help, but I've lost more weight sitting around doing nothing. I started running 2km's every day and over 4 months I weigh the same. And once during the Christmas holidays I played Minecraft every day all day for 3 weeks and lost 11kg's. Mostly because I forgot to eat. I'd reccomend it, but I think I ruined my metabolism, I maintain my weight on about 1000 calories per day and I'm 19. That's with running 2 km's per day as well. It's not too bad, sure I can't eat anything but I'm also not very hungry anyway.
What about change in diet, the proliferation of fast food, processed food, junk calories... People don't cook for themselves anymore, less knowledge of nutrition.These factors weren't mentioned, or maybe I spaced out during that part.
i mean there was a whole chunk of it talking about how what people ate didn't factor as much as researchers thought...or much at all. maybe watch it again
@@Lolibeth however eating high carb diets spike blood sugar and can cause type 2 diabetes and obesity. Both the healthy and unhealthy diet were high carb
I break every comment he made. My mom was 42 when I was born, I only sleep 4 hour's or so a night. Both of my parents were obese Yet I'm not in anyway overweight.
What is your age? I was like you untill 24-25(and even there, I gain some fat but less than many other who drink as much(beer red bull and soft drink), eat as much(poutine, fast food and pasta) and as bad, and was as much inactive, and sleeping not enough(University, party all night study all day)). Some people have different metabolism but age seem to change something.
Your body digests food faster and turns the unneeded parts of the food into more feces than fat cells. Unlike me, I have a slower metabolism. It Takes me longer to digest food and the more fattening junk food I eat, the more fat cells I gain. It's all in the digestive system.
I used to have insomnia and now I sleep 10 hours a night but as I said before I have a genetic disorder that doesn't even have a name yet after 30 years of study! The closest they've come to a name is pseudo acromegaly.
It's scary, it did progress since this video was made, some of my friends got fat, both my father and my step father are fat, as well as my step mother and step brother, i saw two of my ex, they got fat, co-workers got fat, people in the street are fatter, meanwhile, i'm so glad i'm not someone driven by food cravings, been sticking to a very healthy diet for 3 years now, built muscle, stoped smoking, never felt better in my body, never been stronger, i just wish i could explain to the people that means something to me that it's both easy and important to do as i do.
I know this is a very divisive subject and everyone is entitled to their own opinion and my own perspective is perhaps a bit extreme to some, but I really do feel strongly that our attitude towards weight, food, and our bodies is incredibly unhealthy and we don't really look at that aspect of health (e.g. how does intense weight stigma affect individuals mental and physical health?) as much as we focus on attaching morality to the size of someone's body. To be fair, I work in health care and I see the potential consequences of obesity (in combination with other factors because health situations in an individuals life are complex), but I also see how these people are treated and how that affects their health as well. We are incredibly stigmatizing, in Western culture, towards individuals in larger bodies and I think it's always important to question potential biases (even in research because we forget that it's still a human process). You cannot look at someone and know very much about them based on the size of their body, but our society tends to equate thinness to health, self-control, "good" moral character, success, etc. But you really don't know anything about the health of someone based on the size of their body (e.g I have seen people dying of some horrible forms of cancer complimented on their slim physique and unfortunately that attitude is not uncommon.) Besides that, everyone deserves to be treated with respect (which we don't do very well currently) and that should not be a controversial statement. Unfortunately the body-positive movement often gets equated to the promotion of being in a larger body which entirely misses the point of the movement as there is no suggestion of what body one should be in, there is merely a focus on the fact that we are all people deserving of respect and that some people are discriminated against based on arbitrary societal values (such as thinness).
the real issue is people thinks things in packages (sealed boxes and bags) is food. The only thing you should be buying that comes in bags is whole grains like rice, lentils and beans. The rest should be from the produce section. I tell people who are overweight "stop shopping from the middle aisles of the grocery store and you will loose weight."
I love the Greens and SciShow, but this video makes me sad, starting with "being fat is objectively bad for you," and putting any stock at all in BMI. (The formula was invented by a sociologist to crunch numbers, not to dole out individual health diagnoses!) To not forget to be awesome, I suggest reading through the Shapely Prose archives and Peter Attia's TED talk on Type 2 Diabetes. Unhealthy thin people exist, and healthy fat people exist. And they're all Nerdfighters!
In addition to what Hank said, gaining and losing weight is affected by: The hormones insulin and glucagon. Carbohydrates and, to a lesser amount, proteins in our digestive system become blood sugar (fuel) in our blood vessels. Our bodies sense the increase of blood sugar and tell the pancreas to produce more insulin. Insulin has 2 jobs: (1) Put the blood sugar (fuel) into our body's cells so that they can do their jobs. (2) Store excess blood sugar (fuel) in our fat cells and liver. When we stop eating (fast) for enough hours, the blood sugar decreases in our blood vessels. Then, our body's sensors sense the decrease and tell the pancreas to decrease insulin production and increase glucagon production. Glucagon's job is to take the stored fuel out of the fat cells and liver and, then, put the stored fuel back into our blood vessels so that the body's cells can use that fuel. So, we need to do therapeutic fasting to lose weight. Also, we need to reduce bad stresses. Bad stresses make our bodies produce the hormones cortisol. The cortisol sets off a chain reaction that causes our bodies to produce insulin. Read the book "The Obesity Code" by Dr. Jason Fung, MD, for details and to review the research he reviewed to reach these conclusions.
My mom was 35 when she gave birth to me and my dad was 46, my father is a bit more on the chubby side while my mom is a bit slim, I live on the planet where all of these chemicals exist, I get around 6 hours of sleep, and my mom used to smoke... well crap.
Sorry, but a tip to increace the visual quality of your videos. You are filming with a window open behind the camera, it reflects through your glasses. A quite common mistake, but really annoying once spotted.
Regarding a mother's age, older first-time mothers are more likely to be well-educated and have more financial resources - two factors which reduce a child's chance of obesity. I wonder if the studies accounted for or studied those factors?
Pork cracklings are thicker and more dense, they don’t crunch. What he ate was a pork skin. There’s a difference. I don’t recommend cracklings because they usually have a big nasty glob of fat on them. However, barbecue pork skins are delicious!
There’s got to be a lot more to this, for example I eat very healthily (vegetarian, mostly vegan, tons of plants, cut back on bread, don’t add sugar to things) and I can’t lose weight no matter what I do.
The government could step in like in other countries and regulate the amount of sugar in drinks and the amount of starches allowed in bread and snacks but of course the entire “freedumb” portion of the US would have a temper tantrum.
Okay so my parents did have me pretty late (mom was 35) but does it count that neither of them became obese until well into my childhood? Like in their 50's
its large food corporations. As the amount of food chains increased across the world so has the rate of obesity. The reason why the study found no difference in BMI is because the battle is not at school its at home. If a parent has bad eating habits their child is being fed the same thing. On top of that portions have increased 3x as much in the past few decades.
Another reason is that fat free foods contain more sugar. The sugar affects your weight heavily, especially since certain types of fat can actually prevent obesity.
My dad would mix milk and sugar then warm it up for me as a kid, that was the only way I could go to sleep.....and now I can't drink normal milk, it's gross
As someone who is prescribed amphetamines for ADHD, I can confirm that the appetite suppressing effects are real. Also the higher metabolism contributes weight loss
I always assumed that the reason you are more likely to gain weight based on how old your mom was when she gave birth to you is because when you get older you have a worse metabolism and are more likely to be overweight thus causing you (when you grow up) to be overweight.
I find it interesting how complicated this is. I guess I got lucky with my genes; I'm 6'2 and weigh 145 pounds, the exact same as when I graduated high school six years ago. I don't eat nearly as healthy as I should (nor exercise as much as I should either), and I tend to eat more than most. Based on my eating and exercise habits, I feel like I deserve to be very obese, yet I remain as skinny as a twig.
And in that research with school kids did they also watch what they eat at home or only during the 7h they're inside school building? Cause usually (by that I mean in every single case) it's their parents fault, and you may remember when they introduced healthy food program in British schools, parents were shoving McDonalds meals through shool fence so their kids don't die from eating a vegetable. All those things may contribute to obesity, but there has NEVER been a person eating 1500kcal a day, exercising, and being obese because of too little sleep or air conditioning.
Some of the things posted on here are very rude and degrading, and that’s not how we’re gonna change the problem. I went to the gym every night with friends and ate as healthy as I could imagine. I never lost weight, but my fat started to turn to muscle. Then I got pregnant and lost all motivation to do anything. I’ve been big all my life and before I was pregnant, i stayed a constant weight for years. Doctors said I was always healthy, just overweight. And that’s fine! I’m ok with that for now. And I know a lot of people, women especially, want to learn to love themselves before doing anything drastic like lose 100 lbs, so they aren’t doing it for society, they’re doing it for solely themselves. And a lot of people don’t understand that, even when you do try, it doesn’t always go you’re way. I’m not saying I promote being overweight, but it does help if people weren’t bashing everyone for being fat because they could have avoided it.
If junk food was more expensive than nutritious food we wouldn't have this issue.we raised the price of ammo to decrease the rate of death by gunshot, maybe we should think about doing the same with junk food.
Tip: I've lost weight by not drinking milk as much as I used to and also I think some people know their limits, it's not the sweets that make people fat it is red meats, I tested out how meat affected my body by not eating meat for two weeks, and I lost 3 lbs im not saying go vegan, Im just saying to try to eat less of it
I went to America for a week and gained 7 pounds. I'm not even joking. I feel bad for you guys. You have literally ALL the food you want but the cheapest would be the most unhealthy.
Good explanation of alternative causes of weight gain. The only problem is that a lot of people will use this reasoning as an excuse to rationalize why they can go on eating huge amounts of delicious, calorie rich, fatty, sugary, highly processed foods. "Why bother eating healthy, when there are all these other complicated, deep societal issues that are also causing obesity" They may not say that exactly - but it certainly can easily factor into their thought process.
Lovely, my grandma was 400 lbs when she died and my mom had gastric bypass to lose weight. Im recently overweight and kinda depressed that this will be passed onto my daughter... good thing my husband and his family are skinny as hell 😋

3. preprocessed sugars like fructose are absorb almost immediately into the blood stream and if not burned/used immediately is converted into fat.
4. if the mother is starving during pregnancy will make the fetus obesity ... see the Dutch Famine Study ... a classic epigenetic study
5. (thin oriented ) Fecal pills or probiotics can establish a thin metabolism
6. Eating healthy means a diet naturally rich in fiber and low in carbohydrates and low in processed foods.
“That’s not food “ *walks off screen*
I died
Hahahaha mom, who is at fault now!?
OK so... it's probably not TH-cam's best targeting advertising job to slap SlimFast before this episode...
I'm surprised. Usually any video about obesity is terrible and annoying but this one is really good and informative.
I'm fat. I eat a lot. I eat more than I should. My sister is skinny, she eats little. Less than she should.See anything?
That you are at least a better person that most by not complaining that your sister is skinny.
Well, yes, but I didn't mean it like that lol.
More like fat people and skinny people usually have problems correctly estimating the actual amount of calories they eat.
I'm fat. I dont eat alot. I eat about the amount that I should. My brother is skinny. he eats alot. he eats more than he should. only difference is, I dont move enough. he doesnt either, but he doesnt have to. because his metabolism doesnt work the same as mine does. people have different kinds of metabolisms, and thats not a bad thing. I would survive for longer in the wild than he would. but we are not in the wild, we are in a civilization where people like me have to try a bit harder than others to become and stay fit. its not just the food we eat. there are alot of factors.
Ozy mandias No. You eat a lot. Most fat people highly underestimate the amount of food they eat. And skinny people over-estimate the amount of food they eat. My sister also thinks she eats a lot - she does not. She nibbles on things once in a while and never finishes her dinner. Once you realise how much calories you are actually, objectively eating, you can plan for weight loss accordingly. Because I assure you, you are eating a LOT more than you think. A regular person should only be eating 1200-1400 calories a day. Oh, and metabolism has absolutely nothing to do with it. It's calories in, calories out.
Also, the fat ones always get targeted first by predators since they are slower.
Fat animals do not exist in the wild.
***** they do not exist because its alot harder to get food in the wild and they get alot more exercise. I'm fairly aware how much my brother and I and many others eat, I eat the same or a lesser amount than most. it often surprise me how much some people eat and how thin they are. my brother and I once tested that out and ate exactly the same for a week while doing about the same exercise (not alot, we are both lazy). he lost 7kg and my weight stayed the same. and I hope you dont seriously think its just calories in and calories out. its alot more complicated than that.
Hank is awesome..can watch him all day in these lockdown days..
Being more active can help, but I've lost more weight sitting around doing nothing. I started running 2km's every day and over 4 months I weigh the same. And once during the Christmas holidays I played Minecraft every day all day for 3 weeks and lost 11kg's. Mostly because I forgot to eat.
I'd reccomend it, but I think I ruined my metabolism, I maintain my weight on about 1000 calories per day and I'm 19. That's with running 2 km's per day as well. It's not too bad, sure I can't eat anything but I'm also not very hungry anyway.
I miss these slower less formal scishow videos. Also funnier
You forgot to mention how cheap calories are these days, relatively speaking.
Double the price of junk food, see if that makes any difference.
3:01 Me when I ask for cheese and someone hands me a pack of Kraft American singles.
What about change in diet, the proliferation of fast food, processed food, junk calories... People don't cook for themselves anymore, less knowledge of nutrition.These factors weren't mentioned, or maybe I spaced out during that part.
i mean there was a whole chunk of it talking about how what people ate didn't factor as much as researchers thought...or much at all. maybe watch it again
@@Lolibeth however eating high carb diets spike blood sugar and can cause type 2 diabetes and obesity. Both the healthy and unhealthy diet were high carb
I break every comment he made. My mom was 42 when I was born, I only sleep 4 hour's or so a night. Both of my parents were obese Yet I'm not in anyway overweight.
2:15 - By 2015?! Whaaat, that was yearsss ago... It's almost 2020 now. 😶
This video was made in 2012
@@sunburn4412 We know. Your point?
@@TheEarthRealm just wanted to clarify that this is not a recent video .
I can eat all i want whenever i want and i never gain wheight. It's nice don't get me wrong, but why!?
What is your age? I was like you untill 24-25(and even there, I gain some fat but less than many other who drink as much(beer red bull and soft drink), eat as much(poutine, fast food and pasta) and as bad, and was as much inactive, and sleeping not enough(University, party all night study all day)). Some people have different metabolism but age seem to change something.
Simon Lafreniere I'm 18
Because you have a fast metabolism
Your body digests food faster and turns the unneeded parts of the food into more feces than fat cells. Unlike me, I have a slower metabolism. It Takes me longer to digest food and the more fattening junk food I eat, the more fat cells I gain. It's all in the digestive system.
Gut bacteria.

I used to have insomnia and now I sleep 10 hours a night but as I said before I have a genetic disorder that doesn't even have a name yet after 30 years of study! The closest they've come to a name is pseudo acromegaly.
It's scary, it did progress since this video was made, some of my friends got fat, both my father and my step father are fat, as well as my step mother and step brother, i saw two of my ex, they got fat, co-workers got fat, people in the street are fatter, meanwhile, i'm so glad i'm not someone driven by food cravings, been sticking to a very healthy diet for 3 years now, built muscle, stoped smoking, never felt better in my body, never been stronger, i just wish i could explain to the people that means something to me that it's both easy and important to do as i do.
Hank used to do this.. High?
I know this is a very divisive subject and everyone is entitled to their own opinion and my own perspective is perhaps a bit extreme to some, but I really do feel strongly that our attitude towards weight, food, and our bodies is incredibly unhealthy and we don't really look at that aspect of health (e.g. how does intense weight stigma affect individuals mental and physical health?) as much as we focus on attaching morality to the size of someone's body. To be fair, I work in health care and I see the potential consequences of obesity (in combination with other factors because health situations in an individuals life are complex), but I also see how these people are treated and how that affects their health as well. We are incredibly stigmatizing, in Western culture, towards individuals in larger bodies and I think it's always important to question potential biases (even in research because we forget that it's still a human process). You cannot look at someone and know very much about them based on the size of their body, but our society tends to equate thinness to health, self-control, "good" moral character, success, etc. But you really don't know anything about the health of someone based on the size of their body (e.g I have seen people dying of some horrible forms of cancer complimented on their slim physique and unfortunately that attitude is not uncommon.) Besides that, everyone deserves to be treated with respect (which we don't do very well currently) and that should not be a controversial statement. Unfortunately the body-positive movement often gets equated to the promotion of being in a larger body which entirely misses the point of the movement as there is no suggestion of what body one should be in, there is merely a focus on the fact that we are all people deserving of respect and that some people are discriminated against based on arbitrary societal values (such as thinness).
the real issue is people thinks things in packages (sealed boxes and bags) is food. The only thing you should be buying that comes in bags is whole grains like rice, lentils and beans. The rest should be from the produce section. I tell people who are overweight "stop shopping from the middle aisles of the grocery store and you will loose weight."
Absolutely zero mention of how refined sugar was quietly and unilaterally replaced with hfcs in the early 80s?
Pork rinds(crackles) are actually pretty good for you, they contain more protein than fat and carbohydrates combined.
Ewww though.... Just... Ewww 💩
I love the Greens and SciShow, but this video makes me sad, starting with "being fat is objectively bad for you," and putting any stock at all in BMI. (The formula was invented by a sociologist to crunch numbers, not to dole out individual health diagnoses!) To not forget to be awesome, I suggest reading through the Shapely Prose archives and Peter Attia's TED talk on Type 2 Diabetes. Unhealthy thin people exist, and healthy fat people exist. And they're all Nerdfighters!
Use a bicycle for intracity travel as much as possible and do *not* avoid hills. Also, eat vegetables, fruits, and fish. All three taste good.
In addition to what Hank said, gaining and losing weight is affected by:
The hormones insulin and glucagon.
Carbohydrates and, to a lesser amount, proteins in our digestive system become blood sugar (fuel) in our blood vessels. Our bodies sense the increase of blood sugar and tell the pancreas to produce more insulin.
Insulin has 2 jobs:
(1) Put the blood sugar (fuel) into our body's cells so that they can do their jobs.
(2) Store excess blood sugar (fuel) in our fat cells and liver.
When we stop eating (fast) for enough hours, the blood sugar decreases in our blood vessels. Then, our body's sensors sense the decrease and tell the pancreas to decrease insulin production and increase glucagon production.
Glucagon's job is to take the stored fuel out of the fat cells and liver and, then, put the stored fuel back into our blood vessels so that the body's cells can use that fuel.
So, we need to do therapeutic fasting to lose weight.
Also, we need to reduce bad stresses. Bad stresses make our bodies produce the hormones cortisol. The cortisol sets off a chain reaction that causes our bodies to produce insulin.
Read the book "The Obesity Code" by Dr. Jason Fung, MD, for details and to review the research he reviewed to reach these conclusions.
My mom was 35 when she gave birth to me and my dad was 46, my father is a bit more on the chubby side while my mom is a bit slim, I live on the planet where all of these chemicals exist, I get around 6 hours of sleep, and my mom used to smoke... well crap.
Only seen 3 minute so far i call cornsirup.
Sorry, but a tip to increace the visual quality of your videos. You are filming with a window open behind the camera, it reflects through your glasses. A quite common mistake, but really annoying once spotted.
So what your saying is..... NO FAT CHICKS
Regarding a mother's age, older first-time mothers are more likely to be well-educated and have more financial resources - two factors which reduce a child's chance of obesity. I wonder if the studies accounted for or studied those factors?
it's the food! everything is gmo or processed cancer food.
Jerrieme Stebbins there's nothing wrong with gmo foods for christ sake, why is everyone so paranoid
What's bad about gmos? Are they not just plants and animals with altered genes? Like artificial selection.
GMOs don’t make you fat
Hey guess what, we've been consuming GMOs since we started farming thousands of years ago. Have fun with that.
Pork cracklings are thicker and more dense, they don’t crunch. What he ate was a pork skin. There’s a difference. I don’t recommend cracklings because they usually have a big nasty glob of fat on them. However, barbecue pork skins are delicious!
There’s got to be a lot more to this, for example I eat very healthily (vegetarian, mostly vegan, tons of plants, cut back on bread, don’t add sugar to things) and I can’t lose weight no matter what I do.
The government could step in like in other countries and regulate the amount of sugar in drinks and the amount of starches allowed in bread and snacks but of course the entire “freedumb” portion of the US would have a temper tantrum.
Okay so my parents did have me pretty late (mom was 35) but does it count that neither of them became obese until well into my childhood? Like in their 50's
its large food corporations. As the amount of food chains increased across the world so has the rate of obesity. The reason why the study found no difference in BMI is because the battle is not at school its at home. If a parent has bad eating habits their child is being fed the same thing. On top of that portions have increased 3x as much in the past few decades.
Another reason is that fat free foods contain more sugar. The sugar affects your weight heavily, especially since certain types of fat can actually prevent obesity.
anyone notice how sad he seemed the entire time?
My mother had me when she was 28, and I was about 7lb, she had my sister when she was 33, and she weighed 8lb and 4ounces.
My dad would mix milk and sugar then warm it up for me as a kid, that was the only way I could go to sleep.....and now I can't drink normal milk, it's gross
I either sleep not at all, 3 hours or 18 hours. There is no in between.
It's called decomposing, chopping off a limp, or bathing in acid 👌
I lost 160 lbs. His name was John.
As someone who is prescribed amphetamines for ADHD, I can confirm that the appetite suppressing effects are real. Also the higher metabolism contributes weight loss
Just yesterday I read that the microbiome in our gut weighs is 1 - 2kg.
I always assumed that the reason you are more likely to gain weight based on how old your mom was when she gave birth to you is because when you get older you have a worse metabolism and are more likely to be overweight thus causing you (when you grow up) to be overweight.
I feel this is one of the the few vids not researched enough.
Could it be that older parents have less energy and time to play outdoors, interact, and exercise with their children?
I find it interesting how complicated this is. I guess I got lucky with my genes; I'm 6'2 and weigh 145 pounds, the exact same as when I graduated high school six years ago. I don't eat nearly as healthy as I should (nor exercise as much as I should either), and I tend to eat more than most. Based on my eating and exercise habits, I feel like I deserve to be very obese, yet I remain as skinny as a twig.
i miss the background
I want that on a t shirt, "I love to sit " truly profound
And in that research with school kids did they also watch what they eat at home or only during the 7h they're inside school building? Cause usually (by that I mean in every single case) it's their parents fault, and you may remember when they introduced healthy food program in British schools, parents were shoving McDonalds meals through shool fence so their kids don't die from eating a vegetable.
All those things may contribute to obesity, but there has NEVER been a person eating 1500kcal a day, exercising, and being obese because of too little sleep or air conditioning.
What if you're extremely allergic to Skinny Hank?
Some of the things posted on here are very rude and degrading, and that’s not how we’re gonna change the problem. I went to the gym every night with friends and ate as healthy as I could imagine. I never lost weight, but my fat started to turn to muscle. Then I got pregnant and lost all motivation to do anything. I’ve been big all my life and before I was pregnant, i stayed a constant weight for years. Doctors said I was always healthy, just overweight. And that’s fine! I’m ok with that for now. And I know a lot of people, women especially, want to learn to love themselves before doing anything drastic like lose 100 lbs, so they aren’t doing it for society, they’re doing it for solely themselves. And a lot of people don’t understand that, even when you do try, it doesn’t always go you’re way. I’m not saying I promote being overweight, but it does help if people weren’t bashing everyone for being fat because they could have avoided it.
Holy Crap, Hank! Mom had me at 43... I had my child at 38! We are either doomed for obesity or destined to set some disturbing world weight records!
Rx for weight loss: move to Mars. Cool, thanks. 🤣
i lost it at "...our two favorite ways to die" lool
This was posted on my birthday 4 years ago.
Far better than the new scishow videos
And how about stress?
If junk food was more expensive than nutritious food we wouldn't have this issue.we raised the price of ammo to decrease the rate of death by gunshot, maybe we should think about doing the same with junk food.
I eat pork rinds quite a bit. Incidentally my Doctor told me I had nothing wrong with my latest physical.
My mother had me when she was in her late forties and contracted gestational diabetes so i'm pretty much fucked.
My old doctor told a client that pork rinds are a good weight loss food.... I switched doctors.
I wonder if you still have the references laying around, the link is broken to the Google Document.
to pronounce ghrelin say [growl-in] and you pretty much have it
Tip: I've lost weight by not drinking milk as much as I used to and also I think some people know their limits, it's not the sweets that make people fat it is red meats, I tested out how meat affected my body by not eating meat for two weeks, and I lost 3 lbs im not saying go vegan, Im just saying to try to eat less of it
I went to America for a week and gained 7 pounds. I'm not even joking. I feel bad for you guys. You have literally ALL the food you want but the cheapest would be the most unhealthy.
Good explanation of alternative causes of weight gain. The only problem is that a lot of people will use this reasoning as an excuse to rationalize why they can go on eating huge amounts of delicious, calorie rich, fatty, sugary, highly processed foods. "Why bother eating healthy, when there are all these other complicated, deep societal issues that are also causing obesity"
They may not say that exactly - but it certainly can easily factor into their thought process.
I just do Methalindioxyomethanphetimine to lose weight
Hank just backtracking and trying to unreccomend meth and nicotine has me wheezing.
"#2: Have your mom give birth to you when she's a little younger."
Uhh… that's not exactly realistic.
Lovely, my grandma was 400 lbs when she died and my mom had gastric bypass to lose weight. Im recently overweight and kinda depressed that this will be passed onto my daughter... good thing my husband and his family are skinny as hell 😋
Mom why did you have to have me when you were forty.
It's kinda weird to see the transformation from "skinny hank" in 2012 to "muscle hank" in 2020.
Got a fitness ad before the video.
