Absolutely agree with him.
Here's my sentiment on the question:
Is it okay to be fat? Absolutely.
...But is it HEALTHY to be fat? Absolutely not.
so its okay to be unhealthy?
I think what you meant to say is that it's ok to be fat, but it's not ok to STAY fat
It’s neither ok nor healthy to be fat.
It's okay to be a loser but not stay a loser
Is fat body positive?
No.
I agree with this guy
he seems to kinda have a belly tho
@@Tylerd838 so?
@@Tylerd838 he literally said, according to his doctor, he is fat
Did you even listen??
@@utsavsharma3696 he said that he wasn’t fat because he was like look; look how muscular I am
@@Tylerd838 no, he just said look at the size of my calves
He never uttered the words "I'm not fat"
This is what sensible and nuanced look like… wish I could see more of this
Sure his legs and arms are slimmer but obviously his gut holds his fat storage the most. Yes he is fat it’s just his body holds it more on one area and by a lot. It’s not shaming to say the truth, I lost 55 lbs, I’m currently at 17% body fat trying to get lower and see how shredded I can look but happy with my results and want to see how I’ll look. Feel great and happy
Yeah I agree. This is like Eddie Hall thinking he is only 15-20% body fat because his HGH usage has caused as distended stomach and more visible abs, yet he has a tonne of fat everywhere else.
But the reason he said to look at his legs is because you can see that he has large and defined calves. Normally, if you have large and defined calves, it's because your body is meant to be bulkier.
Do you have loose skin
As an overweight kid in this generation, I 100% agree.
Best of luck losing weight
Watch some good TH-camr that give good advice. Greg doucette for example Helped me lose 30kg. Eat more protein. Eat more whole foods. Do weight training with progressive overload close to failure, do cardio. In this order.
@0.o Yep i only startet getting in shape moving out. My parents are still obese. I love them thats why i am sad they crap on their health.
@@durschfalltv7505suggesr something for female weight lose.
@@free_palestine786 You women are pretty unlucky in that regard. Yoy will have to do the same thing as guys but it will take you 2x as long to build as much muscle and 4x as long if you want the same musclr at thr same bodyfat. Testosteronr is really powerfull. But thats the good part you won't become manyly if you don't take test or other roids. You just do the same things as the guys. I don't know i heard some girls pee during heavy exersize so maybe watch that. But i really don't knoe anything about that. We are sssentially both human and need to do the same things. It's just thag guys have easier play in this regard.healybody for guys is 10-20 for females 16-26
i agree! Body positivity is supposed to yknow spread positivity about being comfortable in your own skin but, it’s also important to take care of your body and your health too
Thanx for this Video
There’s a big difference between telling people that them being so fat it makes living hard, and telling teenagers, and young adults with maybe some body image issues, that having a bit of stomach fat, or not being stick thin, is normal. Telling them that there cellulite, stretch marks, and jiggly arms, that it’s normal. Healthy even. I wish someone told me that my nose, or body hair was natural and beautiful before other people could tell me to hide it.
Body positivity is loving your body through life and also loving yourself and body to workout but not care about it changing and getting abs asap. It also means that you wear what you want and love everything about you and don’t care about trash mean opinions. ☺️
here is my take, don't shit on people for being fat. That being said I think we should encourage weight loss because losing weight when you are overweight/obese is healthy, obviously. I also think people need to stop getting mat at people for having a prefrence for skinny people.
#stopbodypositivity
Listen, I have a physical disability. I'll be this way for the rest of my life, there's nothing I can do. These are the types that treat me badly because of said disability, I rarely get treated as an equal. Apparently they love tolerance and acceptance when it comes to them and their shortcomings.
Should love yourself at any size, but you need to also recognize being certain sizes isn't always the healthiest and can cause more harm than good to your long term health.
These legs are carrying this man.
lol his calves are strong from carrying all that weight
While I do think it’s GREAT to have some size diversity in to the fashion industry. And I’ll all about being confident in your own skin.
However should it be taken too seriously? Not exactly, because I’m sure that everyone knows that obesity to a certain extent isn’t exactly the most healthiest lifestyle. BUT at the same time it shouldn’t stop everyone at any size from living in the here and now. 👍
This dude explained it so perfectly
Body positivity = more money for brands
This is so perfect
Abolutely true
Body positivity is things u cant vhange like heght looks etc and improve what u have in controll
Legend if everyone in America has this mindset we’d be more stronger than the Spartans
No actually fat people have big calves because of all the weight they carry.
he's almost healthy though. look at his forearms and a bit of muscles protruding through his shirt
To weight more then 250 lbs and be healthy
You would need low body fat and high muscle density, or be 7ft 5
@@helloitsme4139 Even muscles can be unhealthy the body isn't really meant to carry to much weight.But sure you can be heavy but this isn't a healthy guy status.
@@asura8425 If your stomach comes out further than your chest then you are well and truly overweight.
He is overweight not fat or obese, not health threatening but it's always better to start losing weight before it gets harder.
However, some overweight people "like this guy" are healthier than many of those who appear slimmer.
I have a friend who is overweight, shorter than me and she is 15 kgs fatter, but she is healthier than me, she eats alot of food but her choices are healthy and she is not lazy, she wakes up early, studies in uni, studies a language, working, litterally doing everything and always busy and moving.
Me on the other hand, I'm slimmer, I don't eat alot of food, but when I eat, man, my choices aren't that healthy, and I'm a work at home, so not moving much.
I call BS. Not one human wants someone to be skinny because It's "healthier for them". Drug addicts, alcoholics etc aren't harrased for beign unhealthy.
The narrative of this content is deeply resonant and impactful. A book with congruent themes changed my life profoundly. "Your Body Your Temple" by Sophia Wintergreen
I love this guy’s answer. We shouldn’t be bullying people for being fat, we should help them. Body shaming comments aren’t going to make all the fat people on the world skinnier, it’s just going to hurt their mental health. If we were all kinder and taken up a healthier lifestyle, obesity rates would go down significantly.
I think it’s fair to say fat people are accepted in society. Is life accessible to the morbidly obese? Not really no. Is that ok? Well in fairness, their limitations are self induced. Should they receive extra help in life: Yes, if you mean help losing weight, to get to a size they can easily manage life, yes, I believe they should. If they want that help, they should be able to receive it. The biggest issue in “fat acceptance” in my opinion is that we are being forced to cater to fragile mindsets, ie “yEs FaT iS hEaLtHy ToO.” It’s not, we should be pushing each other to be better, do better. Never has humanity been so overweight, and that is pretty sad, we’re not evolving, at all. I think Wall-E was far too close to hitting the nail on the head. Overweight, not moving, eating shit disguised at nutrients, distracted by our devices.
Just to add some nuance. It's important to note that everyone's body holds fat differently and reacts to hunger/stress hormones differently. The natural result is just that some people's bodies maintain equilibrium better at higher levels of adiposity, whereas some do at lower levels. For example, while the average man is said to be healthiest at 15% body fat, in the general population that healthy number can range from 9% to 22%. My point is that there are some people who would be called "fat" by ultra-shredded YT fitness standards who are actually perfectly healthy. Just to be clear, however, what I'm talking about is distinct from obesity or even just being significantly overweight.
Finally someone who agrees with me! Bless this man
Positive vibes over here
I agree with this guy up until people of his size start giving out medical advice and diet plans!
Facts
This guy's 100% right
I like him
The world is slowly turning into a little sibling who gets away with everything
One of the few ppl that has his own opinion
At this point just let them be... If they die it was their choice.
very level headed response.
respect to him !
he said it all
accept buh also help me don't shame anyone buh also try to help them don't let them just continue going like that 🤷🙂
Honestly from a libertarian stand point they can do wherever they want. No it isn’t healthy , but it’s American and they have the right to do what they want as long as they aren’t hurting anyone else.
They gag is they are hurting themselves. Go to the hospital and see patients who have weight related diseases, and tell me they aren’t hurting themselves? This “so long as it isn’t hurting anyone” mindset doesn’t work because the individual and their loved ones are the ones who get hurt. Making a personal decision to hurt yourself doesn’t take away from this fact.
I would say that legs only grow with fat and genetics but he’s got some amazingly define calves so that point is mute. Also I agree with this guy
body positive started for people with burn scars, missing limbs, and now its: "im a humongous ass pig that cant stop eating and you must date me or i sue you"
He's mostly right. When I was in bulks, I had massively more muscle than fat but still considered obese. Bmi is a factor but when you're, 6'6" 300lbs+ the scales get weird.
Morbid obesity is when your brain doesn't care and tells you to eat until you're a lump.
Agree.
Theres a different between being fat and healthy and being fat and unhealthy
Valid
finally someone smart in America.
Yeah.
We support people with cancer, but we don’t just let them stay that way.
Same with people who struggle with obesity.
Being fat isn’t really OK and I really do think it does just lead to crap still love yourself, but still man like these people in body positivity I don’t know because I think a lot of the reason why a lot of people having a bit of a bellies and yes there’s genetics, but I do feel like it’s the stuff in the food. All the batting like all the horrible ingredients that people don’t know they’re eating and it’s not the saturated fat it’s the sugar.
The real problem with politics is that we would never take this dude seriously as a politician
You win political elections for all the wrong reasons usually
Being louder being the least awful of 2 bad options looking like more decent and presentable and charisma but business office kind of charisma not necessarily Tom Brady type of charisma
All they're saying is they should be allowed to love themselves as they are, but that doesn't negate potential change if they so want it. People will see a fat girl being happy and dancing and go "SHE'S PROMOTING OBESITY!!!!!!!!!"
This guy is intelligent
Most* average build people, with a hight of 6ft and under should not weight more than 250lbs , anything above this is asking for health complications l.
He is not fat, its okay to be fat but it’s not okay to continue eating unhealthy.
Those calves tho… got the entire gym community jealous
He’s literally casual on top business on the bottom lmao
What I think is ok is someone who’s like hey I know I’m fat but I want to change it if I see someone at the gym and thier obese or som I’ll give them a mental round of applause because they are trying to change it but others just want acceptance and it’s just a way to be lazy
This guy I like him,spoke facts also dude you not fat you just have a belly you look ok👍
Body positivity is an excuse to be lazy and not put in the work.
We shouldn't glorify not being able to walk up a flight of stairs without having to stop for a breather.

He’s a W
should i put cat on a diet or is it against body positivity? here a video to display his shape, th-cam.com/users/shortsmHQ_oPrIZH4
That is animal abuse..
@@PaulFilmer what do you exactly mean about that?
@@theanimalsusatv Letting the cat get to that size is animal abuse. It can barely walk.
@@PaulFilmer well i dont think hes that much and i really think your exagerating right now plus u dont think he would also like to be called that. you dont know what abuse is beacause your a men
@@theanimalsusatv Oh wow. That comment showed your true colours and there is no point discoursing any further.
It’s your choice, but yes, muscle “calves”, will be made and maintained when supporting a large amount of body weight.
You can look in shape and still be unhealthy..!
He got his sub in that bag….
Imo body positivity is not about "oh you're fat, that's OK". It's about all bodys are beautiful and deserving of love but all sizes aren't healthy. You should work out and eat healthy to feel good not to look "good". For some people to feel good they need to lose weight and eat healthier. Love yourself and do what's best for your health❤

Just be happy n do you we don't care about all that live your life your way not to for them
Dude's just big. Got calves, biceps gains and everything.
I wouldn't call this fat. 👍 💪
Dis boi is based
Blame shifting at its finest
Let's not focus on my beer belly gut let's talk about my calves how they look so much better than others but in reality I'm probably dying
Ong my legs are like 2 inches and the rest of my body well you dont need to know that
Dude has a bag of Bugles(r) chips and a belly that is the weight of a small child and says "fat" is a generic statement!! WTF is going on?!
who cares what over people do with their lives? it dosent affect you and any ways fat ≠ unhealthy. you can be healthy and fat and u can be very un healthy and a "normal" weight
You can call yourself big, if you have some muscles
Bro but his calves though
Here we go overweight people always trying to justify their bad behavior. Number one excuse BMI is not a good predictor. Because a weightlifter can be considered obese. Literally sorry to burst your bubble. That is not how doctors use BMI. BMI is one part of the process combined with a physical strength tests visual observation which includes body size and shape. How much fat and wear your body's carrying it plus muscle tone with decreased body fat abdominal check. They're still more to it but I you get the point. So if a patient comes in with a BMI 35% higher They show normal to low muscle tone and visual signs of body fat and deposits then the BMI is accurate conclusion would be obesity. Now if the patient showed above average muscle tone in most of all above average muscle mass and lack of visual body fat and fat deposits with a BMI 35% would not be considered obese.
Is it ok to be fat? Sure do men want a fat women? NO is there a .5 percent of world population that want a fat woman? Possibly, if she has a cute face and perfect attitude, personality, and home making abilities. Not a preferred as a family maker.
The calves!!
Bro is technically doing leg workout anytime he goes out , I’m not saying it to be rude
But this dude also mostly has fat around the stomach area, visceral fat, which is most often associated with metabolic syndrome especially. Not good.
It’s not ok to be fat fat shaming is a W because as a human being you can control how much you eat so that means you can control how much you weigh . shaming somebody for their height because they’re short is unacceptable and that’s coming from someone who is 6’4 height you can’t control but weight you can. America people are just made of marshmallows. WAKE UP TO REALITY
Actually weight doesn’t always have to do with how much you eat it’s genetics mostly which is the same with height you might’ve been an inch taller if you’d just drank more milk but it’s mostly genetics there’s also such a thing as an Ed where someone literally can’t control how much they eat you just sound like a moron
There's levels of everything...
There's Average, that's common
There's skinny, that's okay
There's emaciated, that's unhealthy
There's chubby, that's okay
There's obese, that's unhealthy
There's athletic, beefy, chonky, and tanky, that's peak performance.
This man fit he ain’t fat
Those legs!!

His stomach says otherwise. And so he's the one eating more than he should. So perhaps he should worry about his body.
Its noones problem is one is fat. Just leave the person alone. Most of the people dont even care about someones health. They just want to shame someone
I care about peoples health it's not ok to be fat that's just how it is
Yes, it is. It is not okay to be 350 lbs and an obese manatee. Promote an active, healthy lifestyle.
Cut out the junk, and you might make it 40.
Being fat isn’t ok. You should strive to look ok and feel better. When your fat you have much more problems than a fit person.
Being fat is a direct result of mental health issues- most stages of depression, severe stages of schizophrenia. It is often associated with other addictions- alcohol, drugs, porn, etc that give you a quick dopamine rush.
So even this fellow is mildly sick and needs work. Is it something he can do by himself- most probably, he is still young and self-aware. Do we need society to do something about obesity? Yes, introduce therapy, even psychiatrists for severe cases. Also defund healthcare for those who refuse to deal with the source.
Wow
