“But when you’re not here filming, we get a takeaway” I actually spit out my coffee, that was golden. Gotta love kids, they say the darndest things don’t they?
They love what the kid does for the parent. The kid is used as a tool to manage the parents feelings and as a vessel for the parent's shadow. In psychotherapy speak it's called Narcissism. In this case classic FemiNarcissism. Often the mother demonises the exhusband making him the baddie, and by implication herself the goodie. Thus when it comes to discipline the kid the mum doesn't want to be BadCop to the kid.
These people don't know what it's like to genuinely love and care about someone else's future well-being, and have only ever seen the act of loving someone from a shallow, vapid, and materialistic point of view. Any thoughts on how this will negatively affect the rest of the child's life are rationalized as "I'm doing my best, what more do you want from me?"
Maybe the mothers have been provided everything their whole lives and genuinely have no clue how a child can grow up and take care of themselves. If everything is given to you and you never have to work for anything you can't pass that behaviour to your kids.
When my daughter started eating Solid foods a few months ago, she was very picky at first, especially since I started her on veggies. She got used to them very quickly and I learned that she preferred foods I cooked over baby food. I don't blame her, that stuff is nasty. Now at a year and two months old, She loves russian foods, Italian foods, Asian foods, some lower heat spicy foods like my chili and japchae, all veggies except corn (she hates it getting stuck in her teeth), all fruits except bananas, dairy and eggs, and she doesn't like sweets that much, except yogurt or the peanut butter chocolate bars I make (she hates Cookies, icing and cake, and Ice cream and throws tantrums if you try to get her eat some like for her birthday). It took me 5 months of trials with her to get her to love fruits, veggies, and meats to move her from as picky as my brother (Who has never even tried Steak, any fruits or veggies, or different types of rice or pasta dishes) to eating better and enjoying more variety than her older cousins. It's not hard to do. It's not hard to cook a 30 min dinner. It's not hard to tell your kid "no". And it's certainly not hard to feed them appropriate proportions so they learn not to over eat and have the energy to play and stay fit. I did it with a severely premature baby Who is physically and developmentally at the age of a 9 month old, so I certainly know it can be done with a term baby developing normally. Shit, most women don't even realize that they themselves don't need to gair more than 15 to 30 lbs when pregnant and can lose that weight quickly as they play with the baby and practice healthy eating habits with their baby when they begin trying new foods. I only gained 12 lbs and 3 months after birth, was right back down to 98 lbs.
@@lunaballuna im really proud of you at least some people still try theiir best for their children. when i was 16 i got a new brother and so far he still cant enough because my step mom doesnt care enough to teach him properly she also doesnt eat much and you can see how it reflects on him. so its great to see that it can be done well and that ppl still try. goodluck with being a mom im sure u will have lots of difficulties in the future but thats also part of the fun.
@@savedbyzero8340 Some fathers were shown at the end of the video, but imagine how spineless they are. If the mother is morbidly obese, the husband's already soulless and dead inside. 😢
I was kept away from junk food as a kid by my parents and used to get jealous of other kids who’d get to eat sugary cereals, McDonald’s and drink fizzy drinks on a regular basis. Now that I am an adult, I’m so thankful that that never became normalised to me.
This is the sacrifice a parent has to make. They have to look for your FUTURE not your present. Usually that means putting you through uncomfortable situations as a child to hopefully make you more capable as an adult. Being a good parent isn't about being your child's best friend it's about being their guide and mentor even if they dislike you for it. That's the sacrifice.
As a pediatrician I see this all the time. Parents of toddlers or preschoolers basically tattling on their own kids about overeating. And I always ask them who establishes their portions or where they get the money for sbacks from, and suddwnly they go silent and stare at the floor...
Please keep your chin up, Doc. Cozy imagine that has to be super difficult, Cozy no could do what you do. It must be depressing. We need more like you in this world to remind parents that they are parents.
I was pretty fat as a little baby because I wouldn't stop screaming and screeching my throat out if I didn't get more food. I had to eat almost twice as much as a regular kid. My weight got to a normal age when I was a couple years old. I can't really blame my mother for feeding me a lot when she physically couldn't do anything about my love for food
My kids are in very good health, they exercise regularly and they're healthy weights. I am shocked by some of the portion sizes that kids nowadays eat. My kids would feel sick if they ate that much, I'd be sick if I ate that much. Parents are way overfeeding them
I'm a recovering food addict who's lost 60 lb since last year. It's bad enough when these people harm themselves with food. To project that harm on kids is abuse. These parents would rather have their family die early than face the feelings they're trying to shove down with food.
@@C0d0psheight is irrelevant to the weight loss. You can lose 12kgs at 4'11, it'll still be losing a great deal of weight. What is your weight after the loss? I'm sorry if this sounded too harsh, you have lost weight and ahould be very proud of this achievement. Just mindful if you have more to go and mindful of KEEPING it off.
@@thegatorhator6822 I went from 80 kg to 68kg. I dropped my body fat from 25% to 16.7%. - If I were to lose 60 lbs from my starting weight then I’d be ridiculously shredded. - Health and weight loss are intrinsically linked. Most people are obese. Some people need to gain weight. - I have maintained my weight for 6 months, I have a wrestling competition at -66kg so I have 2 kg more to lose.
That beginning part about beef or her beef is so true, when I was a kid and my parents were married my mom would always steam the veggies because that's how my dad liked them because he's from the Midwest and I thought I didn't like veggies, but when they split she started cooking them in more interesting ways like sauteing, roasting, and other ways and I came to like veggies quite a lot, preparation makes a huge difference.
The veggies may have been oversteamed and underseasoned too. The goal is usually to make them pliable but still slightly crunchy with a little salt to bring out the flavor if you’re being absolutely minimalist.
@@CollaredConsultingthey generally know enough about it, but still choose to act in contrary to their knowledge (speaking from my own experience as a doctor😅)
Parents that don't understand that their kids health is their responsibility drives me nuts. I have a neighbor whose son had to have an operation on I believe his achilles tendon. The doctor was clear that he had to wear a brace at night to keep the tendon from shortening, it is apparently also very difficult to perform the operation a second time. The kid being a kid did not want to wear the brace and the mom let him sleep without it because she didn't want to be "mean". Its been like 10 years now and the kid, now a teen, can't place his foot flat on the ground and will have to limp for the rest of his life.
It's like people opposed to vaccines : you can still see today children in wheelchairs because their stubborn parents didn't want any shot against polio... There is a driving license if you want to drive a car; there should be a "parenting license" if you want kids.
I was a very fussy child, i went through a phase where i would only want to eat chocolate, chips and generally junk. My mother refused to acknowledge this behaviour so I'd have to eat whatever I'd refused to eat the day before, we were also a poor family so wasting food was a big deal. You can bet i grew out of this behaviour pretty quickly. Kids won't starve themselves, when they're hungry enough they'll eat
@@Madeinamerica28honestly things like these are the reason why I wouldn't call a child who's very picky about what they eat and absolutely refuses certain things a spoiled brat atomaticaly. I've seen comments from parents who said that their autistic child was close to being hospitalized or even hospitalized because they would have literally starved because their safe food was withdrawn from them.
Whenever I see the children in these documentaries, I become more grateful of my mother, who when I was younger (between 10 - 12) ,saw I was becoming more on the heavier side and instead of saying "Aw well, he looks healthy" or "Ah it's just genetics" actually changed the diet in the house. We used to eat fast food quite consistently but then my mother started doing healthy home cooked meals and I will be forever thankful for that.
You're lucky , I'm 22 still living with my parents and my mom still doesn't cook healthy , I mostly eat my own food , but It's unconfortable watching her trying to lose weight when she doesn't listen to my advices , like , because I'm skinny young male , my body proceses food differently , is what she thinks
I get your point, but that isn't always true. My mother cooked meals and most of the dinners I ate growing up. However, she was psychologically abusive. Her words and other actions proved that she did not care for me. So, a person can cook for another person, but not truly care about them.
Not only do I love cooking because I can monitor what I'm eating, but the creativity and fun behind it is also incredibly stress relieving. Going fishing with friends and roasting fresh fish on a campfire is a great example. I'm very thankful to have been raised by people who value healthy home cooked meals over processed shit.
I enjoy cooking as well for those reasons. The only difference is that I had to teach it to myself because even though I was helping in the kitchen during family gatherings nothing was really explained to me. I kid you not that I had to ask Google how to boil a potatoe when I moved out of my mom's appartement.
When I was a kid my parents used to make pork chops that were hard, dry and tasted terrible that they made me eat. To this day I still have a general hesitance to eating pork even though I've had much better pork since then. So what you said about how your parents cooking can effect your tastes is definitely true.
Same thing with me and chicken legs, my mom overcooked the hell out of them and drowned them in cheap sauce. Then she would wonder why i just had rice or something else instead.
My mom did the same to me with chicken... Chicken. One of the most available and affordable meats and I am hesitant to eat it even though I know I cook it really well... It sucks.
My mom was addicted to health. She was obsessed. We weren't allowed to have any processed sugar, we grew a huge garden, raised our own chickens and goats for meat, milk, and eggs. We were also homeschooled so she had us on some pretty rigorous fitness routines. We had to do 4 mile rucks, lap swimming, cross country skiing, and other workouts. As a kid I didn't like not being able to eat like "normal" kids, but now that I'm an adult I'm glad she was on that side of the spectrum rather than the opposite. My brothers are absolute units, 6'3, washboard abs, and college football scholarships. I've had 3 babies and I'm still in good shape. I'm glad I grew up with a foundation of health, but I could have done without her aversion to modern medicine, antibiotics are good.😂 I'm trying to strike the balance with my own kids. My husband grew up in an obese family, but he's very on board with health for our children
Antibiotics are not good-good, my dear. They're okay in certain emergency scenarios, and I do mean emergencies, not just, "Oh, I feel really ill." For one, it does a number on your gut flora, which is extremely important in proper digestion, and maintaining homeostasis, or physiological balance. Antibiotics are like an easy get-out-of-jail card, except you're not aware that you just dipped into your savings, and perhaps even took on a bank loan to pay for that card... Try to look at antibiotics the same way you would look at surgical tools.
@@tigonridge firstly, why speak like a condescending jerk? Yes, I'm aware you shouldn't rush to antibiotics for every little thing, but I had Lyme disease with a 105 fever and she didn't take me in until I was so delirious that I didn't know what was happening. 😂
@@timothygabriel7250 firstly, you missed my point. I was expressing that I am grateful for a lot of it now. Also, my mom is severely mentally ill, she's institutionalized most of the time now. She was absolutely beyond just being healthy, she was obsessed and I don't want to get into all the details about it (she did some messed up stuff to try to make us healthy) but she had very serious psychotic breaks, one of which resulted in her having to be pulled off of me and authorities called in the middle of the night because she attacked me during a hallucination. That's why I said that I'm trying to strike the balance. I'm not bitter towards my mom, even with her issues, she did a lot right.
@@timothygabriel7250 what? she said they weren't allowed to have ANY sugar. nothing wrong with having sugar here and there. she even said 'find a balance with my own kids'. her mother was an addict
I used to be overweight, and started running 1.6km a day for 2 months straight(age 13). I slimmed down, but a little too much. I was introduced to your channel and started working out(i just got back frim the gym as im typing this). Working for fitness and my own mental health. Your channels helps. Now i'm 18, still improving. Wouldnt have done it if it wasnt for your videos.
You can be genetically predisposed to addiction, sure, but that only means if you perform the habit, it's more likely to form. That means parents who have predispositions toward addiction have to be _extra responsible_ to ensure their children don't repeat their mistakes.
Exactly: My father is an alcoholic to the point he is developing early on dementia due to alcohol abuse. I've never touched alcohol even once because of this, and what do you know I'm not destroying my life or health with alcohol because I know that I'm predisposed to addiction. My older half-brother cut out alcohol because he recognised that it made him irritable, just like our father.
Surprisingly didn't happen to me. My dad's addicted to smoking, but I figured that cigars aren't meant to be smoked all the time, so I'll be fine, but I knew that it still was a slippery slope and that I had to check myself. I shockingly didn't feel the need to repeat that often. I did a few times, making sure to smoke once and stop for a long period of time, that being months, before I did it again. The last time I had one was this summer. I wanted to read a book outside with a cigar, and it ended up not being fun and not working at all. Never touched one again, never felt the want for another. Probably because I followed my dad's advice. "You can smoke cigars once in a while, but don't graduate to cigarettes." Never did, never will, and then I took extra precautions that he never mentioned. Point is, don't smoke, you don't need it.
Yep. Both of my parents are (or rather, were, in one case) alcoholics. I watch myself and routinely check to make sure that I'm not overindulging in any vice, not just alcohol, because you can get addicted to online shopping just as readily as alcohol.
I come from a family with a history of addiction, all it means is I have to be extra cautious about addictive stuff. It's like having asthma or needing to get amputated. you have to change how you live, that's just life.
Thank you for your content! Your wake up call of a channel made me see past how I was raised around food. I grew up with a parent who didn’t have the money to cook and didn’t know what was healthy at times. Started making changes, lost 60lbs, and my life has been on a better track than ever before! I’m pursuing higher education and am trying, failing, and trying again to taper my workout/diet
I always feel the need to stop making excuses and get my life in order after watching any genre of these videos, but find it’s so easy to get distracted back into the same old habits.
it's very hard to break habits. To break a habit easy, you need to change your mindset on the habit you're trying to break/what you're trying to do. I feel if you have a positive mindset and will put the energy to break the habit, it should be harder to fall back into that habit.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting things to change. Always stayed with me so good luck on the journey to better yourself. 🙌
try doing little steps like, in this month 5 hours of screentime, in next months 4 hours, etc. In this month i care about food only 1 day a week, and then add one day every months, bad habids are bult slowly, so getting rid of them should be same
It's a process. I find something that's helped me keep and maintain a habit is to have a calendar that I mark. If there is a thing I want to make a daily habit, it will get a green check if I do it and a red X if I miss the mark. This gives you something tangible you can look at to view your progress. The other thing that I find is important is to forgive yourself for falling off the wagon, and most important - to get back on it ASAP.
As an over all addict, food is the hardest addiction to break. Everything else I cut cold turkey and let it roll... But you can't cut food cold turkey. It's definitely not easy but every time I watch these and hear others success stories, I know it can be done ❤
"she won't try beef or she won't try beef when you make it?" YES as someone whose mom overcooked everything into leather I can relate. when my mom made hamburgers she would smash every last bit of juice out of them while they was frying and cook them almost black but also uses so much cooking oil they float in the pan, stuff that should take 60 seconds in the microwave she would microwave for 5 minutes, my mom drinks a quart of chocolate milk before bed every night and then wonders why she can't lose weight
Yeah my mom is/was paranoid about food being undercooked or having germs and also hated salt, she used other spices/herbs thankfully. So everything was unsalted and cooked fully/overcooked. I didn't like beef at all growing up, liked most the other meats though.
While I was never obese I was extremely underweight, 100 lbs at 5'10 as a man, I used to blame genetics for being underweight, then through some research after getting made fun of for being super skinny I found out how to properly gain weight, and I started working out to make sure I'm healthy and fit, I'm 155 now and I've felt so much better, I'm going for 170 but god damn I'm so proud of myself for doing something right.
same here! same experience. i’m 5’2 and in highschool, 98lb was the heaviest i would weigh. my mom fed me with one giant bowl of rice and cheese throughout my whole childhood and adolescence. or one pack of mac and cheese. yet, i was still skinny. after 18, i started eating lots of burgers and pizza. it did make me gain weight but i got that salt-water retention puffy look. im 24 now, 135lb, and im finally eating properly. i’m cooking a lot and prioritizing protein :)
Ey me too! Well I’m a woman but I was 5’7 and 98lbs. Now I’m up to 115 and I can’t wait to get to 125!! Something just clicked for me recently at 35! Good job keep it up. I already feel much healthier also!
I’m a registered dietitian that has a handful of child clients (I try to avoid working with them unless they’re in a dire state because parents rarely listen to anything) and I’ve seen HORRID things with kids. I had a client that had a 5 year old boy that had stretch marks on his FACE. His mom tried to tell me that he ate normally and it must be a gland issue. As if a 5 year old can get to 106lbs eating normally. I’ve seen other parents tell me they figured their kids would grow out of it and other stupid bull shit like that. The best way to make your kid eat healthy is to stop making unhealthy food. How in SATANS NAME are they going to find other food if they have no other choice. Your kids will eventually just eat healthy if they have no other choice
It's a pathology of modern parenting; they can't bear for their kids to be hungry or otherwise uncomfortable for a single second. Very different from when I was a kid; one of my mother's and father's favourite expressions when I was growing up was "It won't kill you." As in, "Mom/Dad, can I have snack? I'm hungry." "No! Dinner's in less than an hour!" "But I'm HUNG-ry!" "So, BE hungry for an hour! It won't kill you!"
@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci I see nothing wrong with feeding your child when they ask for food. But you have 100% control of what that food is. Carrots, celery, Seeds, nuts, even light amount of chips or bread products are fine. But parents refuse to take responsibility and action when it comes to that part of the health of their child.
@@Wodenseyes I guess I'm just a bit more old-school; I don't think there's anything wrong with not letting your child eat between meals as long as the intervals are not too long (eg., if they eat a good lunch at 12 pm they can certainly make it to dinner at 6 pm without fainting). Too much grazing throughout the day - even if it's only healthy food they're grazing on - is one of the main reasons for battles at the dinner table; kids often just aren't hungry at all when they sit down to a meal because their stomachs are full of snacks. Letting them guzzle fruit juice or milk like it's water all day long is a major culprit, too. You can't enjoy food if you're not hungry, and there's no point in having regular family meals if everyone doesn't enjoy them.
Its ignorance about carbohydrate addiction. Put them on a fat heavy meat and animal based diet and their hormones and dopamine will level out and become normal again
In my postnatal classes / mum’s group when we were talking about weening the midwife explained she saw families who would say “my child won’t eat broccoli” and she would ask them “do you eat broccoli?” And the answer was always no. She explained kids will eat what they see their parents eat. My daughter is 20 months and eats all her vegetables, meats, fruits and dairy. I couldn’t imagine hindering her health out of laziness.
Whenever my son goes through a phase of refusing foods he ate before I will ask him to feed the stuff of his plate to me. Most of the time after he feeds me some he will start to eat it too.
My 42 year old daughter got exactly what we got when weaned which was meats and steamed veggies but put through the mouli. She wouldn't touch it. Luckily she loved broccoli, meat & Vegemite toast so she thrived. Don't ever assume your experience is everyone elses.
@@cincin4515 i didn’t do purée foods with my little one. I did baby led weaning and I have found, for my child at least, it made feeding herself an enjoyable independent (albeit messy) task for her which has given her a lot of confidence when it comes to trying new foods. I never make her eat foods if she’s not in the mood or going through a fussy stage. But I also never offer her junk or processed foods because we simply don’t have them in the house. I’m sure how you fed your child was appropriate also (unlikely you would be interested in this channel if not?). My point was the rule (not the exception- kids with sensory issues or disabilities etc) seems to be if you eat healthy foods and your kids see that and they mimic you and want to please you, your kids will likely take your lead. And if not, then you need to find another way to keep them healthy (like you did) without giving up and feeding them processed crap. But also, not going to lie, meat and steamed vegetables sounds pretty bland and unappealing.
I can confirm this 100%. My younger sister, the most impressionable person I've ever met in childhood, saw my mom refuse a scoop of eggs. Up until that point, she ate & loved eggs. But seeing my mom reject them one time, she IMMEDIATELY said "Then I don't like eggs either" After she saw my mom reject the eggs. She wouldn't eat eggs for like 12yr & was adamant that she never liked them. Only until recently did she admit that she always loved eggs, it was our mother rejecting them that caused this false belief she never liked them
These videos have been a big inspiration for me to get in shape, I’ve gained around 20lbs of muscle and gone from 286lbs to 225lbs in under a year at 17 years old
As a parent it makes me feel sick knowing there’s parents that are slowly killing there kids like this, it’s literally child abuse on the grounds of neglect
Well the people preaching health at every size are the same people who are transing their kids, and think the 64,000,000 children killed by roe v wade is fine
The biggest reason why people hate vegetables is because so many people can't prepare them properly... They can be so delicious and it's not even difficult.
Introducing unfamiliar flavors can be done by masking it initially with other flavors. Someone won’t eat broccoli: cheesy broccoli. This works for both children and adults. It’s great if you want to expand your palate.
And, if we're talking about kids, make it fun to eat. I won't say I acquired the healthiest habits in my childhood (parents can make mistakes or be not much educated), but one of the things my dad did right was transforming into a play eating new foods or healthy options which I refused to eat initially and I loved that as a kid, so it worked. And I tried it on my friend's kids and it works every time
@@pollynesia2820 so if you make each food into a character and the hero can only win if the kid eats the undesired food, eating new foods will complete the hero’s journey? Thanks for the advice bro, I’ll tell my gf about it for the future :)
Or frame it as something fun. My parents didn’t give me broccoli growing up because they didn’t like it but I wanted some because other kids kept pretending they were trees and I always thought that was fun. Also, rainbow carrots and purple potatoes are so underrated and I don’t get why we have to settle for the most boring-looking options for veggies. It’s well worth the extra $$ too since different varieties means more diverse. nutrients.
This reminds me of my younger sister... My mom thought restrictions towards my sister's weight was being mean... Now she's not with us anymore. She was only 35
My aunt used to think at times that my diet was too strict and that I was being difficult when I tried to get my already overweight and unhealthy family to lay off the sweets, fast food, and sodas. She left this world last year at only 57. It's up to us to take care of ourselves and try our best to give our loved ones good advice. Sometimes, we just can't control what they actually do with it. I'm sorry for your loss.
many parents are unable to accept the fact that they can sometimes be wrong. This leads to disastrous consequences like how this video shows. They never say no to their kids either, They give them whatever they want. Its sad.
"My kid devours everything, she refuses to eat anything that is not fatty or sugary" Girl, that's the behavior YOU taught her! Why do these parents fail to realize that they decide what food comes onto the plate, therefore an obese child is entirely their fault. A hungry kid will eat what is presented to them, they might cry or throw a fit, but eventually they will eat because they know they have to.
I grew up sorta like libby, where my parents didn’t know how to cook. Surprisingly, we were underweight because my mom was so afraid of making food taste good with seasoning, she’d eat bland vegetables and over cooked unseasoned meats. Once I got older, I learn how to cook and it helped me put on some weight since I was always too thin as a teenager. I learned a LOT about food and nutrition, but so many of my peers don’t know the first thing about eating healthy or cooking. I wish that schools still taught cooking, otherwise we’d see people at least be able to cook SOMETHING instead of wasting money on takeout.

I’m not a parent, but any time I hear “my kid just won’t eat [x]” my next thought is always “wait a while, they will eventually”. Gnawing hunger is a powerful motivator
That's a great way to create a food insecure kid/adult. Sure don't try to introduce a new food while they're full. But starving a kid so they eat something will not in fact make them like it. People will become cannibals for survival afterall.
@@Neoprenesiren "Omg, if you tell a kid they have to eat what you make and don't instantly make them the junk they want, they're going to eat the first person they see!" Really? I don't know if you've ever had this happen, yet I find that when I need to drink water because I have only been drinking coffee, pop, juice or whatever else and I'm getting dehydrated, the water actually tastes slightly sweet and it is soooo refreshing. I do have a bit of a sweet tooth but obviously, water can't really compete with pop, juice or perhaps an energy drink. So, making a kid sit there until they eat their meal while refusing to make them the junk they want or letting them have junk food from a box, not only isn't starving them, it's also teaching them that they're not going to get their way and gets them used to eating healthier food. That sets them up for success, not failure, due to a lack of willpower and the parents' ability to set boundaries with the kids. You saying they're going to become cannibals for survival is equating them having to wait for a few minutes up to maybe an hour to people being stranded for months with no food in the middle of nowhere. Totally different situation.
@@Neoprenesirenthis is the exact reason why we are facing issues bruh. They'll eventually eat when they are hungry, they'll even understand the value of food.
I’m a doctor practicing in a rural part of Texas. A big problem around here (and many places similar to where I am) is accessibility to healthy food. When you have to drive an hour to get to a proper grocery store and your car is unreliable, you don’t have money for gas, or you don’t even have a car… then you have to eat whatever shit is available / affordable to you. I think the childhood obesity epidemic is definitely multi factorial, but the so called “food deserts” that preclude people from even having the option to try to eat healthier are a major problem. Not saying that any of this is applicable to the families featured here, but it is certainly applicable to numerous families across the US.
@nadezdat5081 are you suggesting everyone has the appropriately zoned land in sufficient space to raise livestock and grow grain and veggies and fruit? That would be cool
@theyellowmeaning7507 rural does not mean do whatever and it does not mean everyone has unlimited land. Not all rural land is zoned to have live stock.
@@cynthianm1743 i didnt specify livestock; i specified farming as in veggies; but my family grew up raising chickens in a suburb in china. rural land has more freedom. zoning is not absolute.
I currently work at a fast food place and it always makes me sad to hand out food to 400lb behemoths that some how has kids. I hate how little people care about themselves or kids.
there are plenty of videos on UA-cam of people’s home movies that they shot at McDonald’s prior to the 90s. Watch those videos and then compare them to those same places today. The difference will shock you. The fast food industry fell for that smear, campaign against saturated, fat hook, line, and sinker. Even Julia, Child noted this in a testimony to Congress. She admitted she liked McDonald’s fries until they changed the type of oil they fry them in. The closest I have ever gotten to re-creating the taste I remember from being a child in the 1980s was frying jicama sticks in beef tallow. She was on to something.
@@Attmaylol no they didn't fall for it. They were part of the ones pushing it. They knew how bad the switch was, but they want everyone weak, overweight, sick and addicted. Did you know Margarine is one molecule away from plastic and shares 27 ingredients with paint. Feed them poisons that are addictive so they become sick and overweight. Then they go to Dr's and get drugs from companies that you have large stocks in. You can double/triple the profit you receive. They know exactly what they are doing, I can promise you that.
saw one of those 400lb whale types at costco once wearing a huge amount of makeup as if that would help. really a quite literal take on the saying 'you can put lipstick on a pig, but its still a pig'
This can easily be applied to screens as well as food. Parents who sit around playing on their phones have kids who do the same, and then they end up with major psychological and behavior problems from not being socialized properly.
I'm so grateful to have parents who are involved and educated but so many kids in this generation are just being raised by a screen and it's just so sad :(
I quit drinking over 6 months ago and have been changing how I eat, doing 3 day fasts and such. I'm down from 220 to 190. Your channel has been great motivation. The way the you break things down is fantastic. Great for anyone wanting to look inward instead of looking for external things or people to blame
I started to take charge of my weight the end of last summer, I went from 231lbs to 199 just before Christmas. Even coming out the other side of the festive period I'm only back to to 201lbs. The difference in my energy and mood is night and day, I'm so glad I finally made the choice, and I bet you feel the same way.
@@jimi_jams Good shit, listen, when things get hard, remember, its YOUR choise to make, not your body neither your desires. keep up the good work dude.
@TheRealCatof The overall goals are discipline and health. I'm enjoying getting into a healthy lifestyle. I'm still learning, so I appreciate your comment :-)
I grew up in the 60s. We didn't have TV, cell phones, video games, etc. We played outside every moment we could. Hanging out at home meant chores. We built forts, 'let's pretend', cowboys and indians, cops and robbers, whatever. We were all healthy and in good shape. The was the occasional chubby kid, and he was out playing too. IMHO, technology, the 'latch key' life, taking disciplining children away from parents, processed foods, and social media had destroyed a generation!
I miss playing outside, everything was ruined after 2019. Even after the pandemic was over, my friends were on their phones more often and didn't wanna play anything outside. Last year we would go to the park n stuff but we're not allowed anymore bc of shootings there... Things r way too dry now.
Basically all the food I ate growing up was some combination of bland, burned, or boot leather tough. The only reason I ate it was because it was the only thing on the menu, but it also happened to be the best thing for me. Too many parents these days think that the best thing for the child is whatever the child wants, which is not the case nearly 100% of the time. In reality, parents choose what seems like the easy route that won't risk pushing the child away, and while that may be true initially, it very often is not once the teen years hit. It's absolutely essential for at least one parent to hold power over the child and maintain the leadership role throughout the development years. If the child is given the power, as is now so often the case, then any further development will only happen at the child's own discretion, and guidance will come from whatever is most convenient at any given moment, which can lead to all sorts of disaster.
Sounds like a battered wife explaining why the black eyes are good for her. Plenty of people grew up eating scrumptious well seasoned and cooked meals and aren't obese. Frankly, they're less likely to be obese. The obesity comes when sugary salty sauces replace flavour on the plate.
Many parents are not willing to do the parenting part. Where I live, we have a joke how uncles/aunts are like parents but only for the fun times. Nowadays most parents are just that.
Yup. Too many parents let their kids run the household. One of my biggest peeves about my nephew's parents is that just about every time they tell him to do something, or not to do something, they phrase it like a request or a question. The problem is that *request can be denied*. They ask the kid to put his toys away and he doesn't want to so he just ignores them...or worse...tells them "No".
100%. These videos are fascinating, but the narrator is disconnected from reality. It is all about access, not seasoning. Holy shit, drink every time this guy says "you didn't season it right." No, the parents need to stop giving kids access to bad food and sign them up for sports or activities.
When you only eat junk food, healthful food tastes noticeably worse. To a 7 year old, a bag of chips that are essentially designed in a lab to get you to want to eat more of them is going to be *vastly* more appealing than probably-poorly-cooked vegetables and unprocessed foods in general. I've literally never had success with weight loss until I cut out ~all~ industrially processed food (with the exception of some kinds of food--hard cheese, for instance--where some processing is inherent) because once I did, after a while a lot of the foods I had avoided (fruits and vegetables especially) started tasting fantastic. So much of our diets are informed by foods that are purposefully made to get us to want to eat more and eat worse, hijacking our instinctual need for nutrients like lipids and sugars to get us genuinely addicted.
great point. Fast Food is also made to be addictive just like potato chips...can't eat just one. Lord knows what chemicals they put in our food but the more processed ones have a ton more. Home grown vegetables taste significantly different than those bought at the grocery store.
Your videos are, and have always been so great. I think I've watched every single one throughout years and I don't think any of them were a waste of time at all. There is always something to learn and reflect upon in them. Thank you for you hard work.
54 kg?? I'm 5'6 and 47 kg and 21. She weighs more than me!!! Parents really shouldn't turn a blind eye on the love of their child. I know it hurts for them to see kids to lose weight, but it's essential . May God bless them. I grew up incredibly underweight and I'm already suffering health issues due to it , so I can really sympathize with this child.
@@3man3A lol my body fat percentage is normal but my bone density is incredibly low. Once I broke my arm after I tripped over a rock. I guess that's what happens when you grow up deficient in calcium, vit D, iron etc. but being overweight actually causes more health issues than underweight, and she's only 7 with gastrointestinal issues (as in the video). Imagine her heart and organs after she grows up!
Besides making sure you cook your food right, if your kid refuses to eat you tell them too bad. If they come back later saying they’re hungry you off them the same food. Rinse and repeat. Eventually the kid will say “fine” and actually eat the food. They can also shop around a bit and find stuff that is healthy, filling, and low cal she may want to eat
@@biffm.2806 my son has sensory issues and he manages. Just because they have sensory issues doesn’t mean they won’t absolutely avoid something, you ease them into it on their terms. But healthy food options should always be done first.
@@biffm.2806 I find it hard to believe that there is some sort of physical or mental problem that can overcome hundreds of millions of years of evolution, strengthening the concept of “eat when you are hungry”.
@@beatnik6806 I never said it was a majority of kids..or even near that. And yes, kids with sensory issues will starve. I also didn’t say to just feed them crap. I said find the healthy things they do like.
When I was a kid, I used to take pride in the fact that I could eat alot. My dad would often say to my mom, "Did you manage to satisfy the bear?" Whenever I was full. And I would take that as a compliment of sorts, but now I realized the amount of food I was consuming was not normal for a 7-8 year old. My parents were strict with food, I consider my school lunches were quite balanced (1 sandwich, some fruit or veggies and something sweet, like a cookie),we almost never had fast food (McDonald's, KFC and so on) but despite that I developed a nasty habit of sneaking into the fridge or sweets cabinet and eat everything. My parents, for the most part, found it funny, but sometimes they would get mad and punish me. But that habit never went away. Now, at 17, I wish my parents would have been more strict with my food intake. At the moment, I am 80 kg and drownings in insecurities anout my body. Most of the people around me are 50-70 kg max and eat a lot less than me. I feel alone and alien when the topic of food comes up because mine and their viwes are completely different. They can eat whatever they like because they are thin, while i have to keep looking and taking note of what i eat because i dont have that luxury of enjoying the food i eat. This has spiraled into me going a full days on nothing, but gum and water because this way no one can judge me on what I eat. I am never happy in the clothes I wear and I feel a certain envy when I am Aron my friends, which festers in my head and turns to resentment. I often have horrible mood swings and blow-up for no reason. I don't want to live like this. This is not the real me, but it's the reality I live in. All of this because of my weight. I feel like as a parent, your child's happiness should be a priority, but you need to put your foot down when it comes to matters like this. Think about the present, but always keep in mind the future of your child.
have you considered therapy? it sounds like you have a lot of stuff going on, it might be helpful. even talking with the school counselor once a week may improve ur life and mental state.
It seems like you have some mental health chewing you up. I think its best to try and be in the best mindset so you can truly dial in on fitness, exercising, working out, eating healthier and feel good throughout the process
"Does it grow from the ground or does it have a mother?" That was the diet I switched to, lost 15 lbs, had more energy, and was sleeping better. I encourage people to cut just processed food out, and you'll be shocked how much weight you lose!
I love how you rightfully mention and intertwine one's social life with one's dietary choices. It's absolutely true. Everything you said about her being seen as unlikable will manifest. Not only is she going to have a difficult time socializing with friends. As mentioned, she will most likely have a difficult time dating as well. This is why I think it's so important for parents to take care of themselves. Not only are you exemplifying self-love and healthy habits to your child; but you will extend out your own life and you won't die on your kid at 50. This just goes to show how your mating habits, and romantic issues tie into your child's future as well. If she was happily and successfully married, she wouldn't have to rush around so much. Her and her husband could split child care duties, and if she marries well, she could have even been a stay at home mom. Everybody wants to call it bigotry when you point out these truths, but it's not. You can be mad at reality all you want to, but it will ultimately show itself for the truth that it really is. People need to make good mating and dietary choices, for themselves and for the sake of their children's futures.
People who call this bigotry are just lazy unsuccesfull failures scared to face reality of life. Life is all about making choices and if you continue making the easy, low effort ones, your life will turn to shit.
This is why you don’t keep easy to grab food without some form of preparation. Once a child knows how to cook for themselves they have a better respect for food.
This channel is the best, Whoever you are narrator man you constantly give me new insights to better my life. People don’t like hearing the things you talk about but they NEED to hear it, we all NEED to hear this stuff. Sometimes putting things bluntly is the best way to get a message across. Thanks for all you do, keep it up!
@@chreg89 yes, though it's not an option I can remember utilizing, it probably only happened a few times. Vegetables do not become more appealing when reheated, especially when you KNOW the thing you didn't eat is the next thing you're going to eat. Also it generally went something like "here's a scoop of food, more?" so if I had too much food on my plate it was my own fault.
My Mom, my brother, my sister and I all have some form of depression and that contributed heavily to us being overweight. Now my mother has dropped 101 pounds, my brother is down to 220, I'm down to 355 from 368 after three weeks of hard work and my sister is the best off because she's gotten to watch all three of us work at losing the weight. Work hard, keep the attitude as positive as best you can and you can lose that weight. You can do anything!
I think this also extends to the content we and kids consume. I hypothesize the more how-to videos people watch, the likely that person is to make healthy habits. There are a plethora of how to cook meals in 30 minutes videos that are easy enough to follow along. It can be tough to find the time, but as a trainer told me, "you make time for what you value."
I used to ask "why am I so fat" too. Then I got a weight scale and started tracking what I was eating with a app, then I knew why. For example, I'd have two slices of toast with peanut butter without realizing that each slice of bread was 150 calories and all the peanut butter was 700 calories, so I was having 1000 calories just for breakfast. Now I have a rice cake with half a serving of peanut butter (weighed) since that is about 200 calories.
That's how I was like as a kid. I never played sports, and wanted to only play video games. Looking back now it makes sense why I was behind socially. I didn't know how to make friends until college. My middle school and high school years were hard, because I didn't know how to socialize like the other kids, and I would talk about weird subjects that only a few people could relate to. I did improve a lot after I moved out, and my biggest regret in life was not wanting to play sports with the others, and eating too much, and spending too much time on TV and video games as a kid. I've also noticed that I would focus on the negative aspects of things a lot more than positive aspects, which is very likely to be the reason why a lot of people didn't wanna talk to me. It all makes sense when I look at my previous actions more closely.
Kids will test you. Just because they refuse something, doesn’t mean you have to give them something else. I’ve never forced my kids to eat anything but if they don’t eat what I provide, I tell them they aren’t hungry enough for anything else. We start our meals eating a massive portion of veggies appetizer style. When they were little, we made it a game, “NO! That’s MY green bean!” Or “how many trees (broccoli) can you eat?” Then we have our main course and sometimes there is a treat after… typically fruit tho
Thank you, TBYS. I appreciate you for sharing your insight on these various topics in your videos. You're an inspiration. I always come back for more, as you always teach me something new. The effort you put into these videos are remarkable, much respect.
My man. Just discovered your channel last week..... Where on God's green earth did you come from? The level of detail, communication ability, and the way you lay out your reasoning for everything you say so clearly and concisely, it is next level, you've got a special talent for this format of video... keep on givin er brother this is what the world needs right now.
As the others said before, this guy is great. He gives good life advice. I believe he is very genuine, he has a balanced perspective. Some people say he’s women-hating or fatphobic, but if you look at his content, he’s very fair and sympathetic.
7:57 I believe that "batter" is white sauce. A British delicacy consisting of flour and milk. It is essentially fat from the milk and carbs from the flour. Tastes nice though. It's most likely a fish pie that he's making.
That sounds disgusting. British food in general is disgusting in both appearance & texture, lacking flavor. I dont know how Brits can live like that dude.
I kinda agree with the one mom that was upset with the school implementing healthy meals for kids, but not for the same reasons. Schools are government run, and the government screws up everything they're involved with. They think chocolate milk is healthier than water, meat will kill you, and that a healthy meal consists mostly of bread and/or pasta. I wouldn't want the schools trying to give my kids "healthy meals" either.
Exactly before everything was forced to change my school had the best lunches. Fresh salad, chicken sandwiches, burgers, fruit and sometimes carrot cake. Then it turned into shitty hot dogs, pizza, pasta and packages fruit with waaaay too much sugar.
@@justincase9471 Terrible advice. You don’t put a 14 year old on a restrict diet, that is how ED’s start. - Just eating less sugar and fried foods is enough. Calories in calories out. You don’t need to eat only meat and high fat foods to lose weight.
This video came at the perfect time. Over the last ~1.5 years I’ve lost 150 pounds. I’ve got about 25 pounds left to go to be at the ideal weight for my height and age. Over the last 3 months I’ve just maintained my weight, I originally planned on just a month of maintaining weight but I let it go longer. Yesterday I started back on my strict diet until I lose this last 25 pounds and videos like this one really help me get back in a rhythm of losing weight
@@mindless4338 well for starters me and my fiancé broke up and the motivation to better myself after that played a major role in sticking with it. For my diet I got real serious into fasting and intermittent fasting. For a while I was intermittent fasting everyday eating only between noon and 4pm, and for the food I ate in that time I cut out sugar completely and tried to avoid carbs as much as possible, but otherwise I ate pretty much whatever I wanted. I also got a new job that’s very physical so I’ve been doing a pretty intense workout 4 days a week for a little over a year. Im also a 24 year old male and so my body naturally loses weight pretty easily compared to men in their 40s and such. But really it just comes down to calories in/calories out, consistent exercise, motivation, and time. If you stay in a calorie deficit and do a little cardio and don’t break those habits and do it for long enough, you will get to whatever goal you’re after.
It's weird because "I don't eat that much" is a relative and often inaccurate feeling. I've had the opposite, I always thought I ate a lot but never gained any weight until i monitored the calorie intake and found that on most days I'd only take in 1500- calories (I'm 182 cms, male) and then on one day I'd eat 5k calories and remember that day rather than the rest. For my skinny boys I solved this through exercising a lot so that I yearn for food, sounds dumb but it works.
@@SMCwasTaken ur overweight but not obese, anything from 152 lbs to 204 for you is normal healthy weight, above 205 and till 246 is overweight and above that is obese
Something that TBYS missed in the section with the grandpa cooking, the grandpa said “No waste, eat it all” when he served that massive plate of food. That’s another part of the reason that kid is so overweight, negative reinforcement for leftovers. DO NOT DO THIS. Telling kids to eat until their plate is empty will teach them to stuff themselves silly, meaning they won’t know their own limits for how much to eat
Smaller portions take care of unnecessary waste. Those are insane portions that gramps has served up. No wonder the kid is so obese. Poor little fella.
It’s a culmination of not just lack of self control, self respect, and self awareness, it’s also how everything is encouraged by the manufactured perception driven into society as a whole. Some actually don’t have time to learn to cook but most aren’t even interested or driven to cook. As stated many times by TBYS, it takes years to learn to cook well.
From experience, it is so hard to undo awful eating and exercise habits that you’ve had since childhood. Hoping nothing but the best for the future of these children!
My parents have both been overweight my whole life and luckily for me my mother did her best to try to teach me good eating habits despite her not being able to practice them for herself. I grew up watching my parents try to lose weight and then fail and go back to their old habits over and over again. I knew at a young age I did not want to be overweight, and besides when I was pregnant, I never have been. As I started to enter my later 20s, I noticed that it was easier to put weight on and my eating habits got a bit worse, so I changed them back to what I was doing before. Then I really started taking my physical health seriously in the last year, going to the gym regularly and actually working out hard and not just casually jogging on the treadmill and calling that a workout, and I lost another 10lbs and am probably at my best weight ever. I too am a single mom and work long hours in health care and my daughter has very good eating habits. I don’t monitor what she eats because I don’t have to worry. She knows her limit and loves eating a variety of fruit and veggies, we eat lean meat or have “meatless” meals with lentils or beans as the protein. I am a pretty good cook and she has never been a picky eater, and I think that’s why! I hate the excuse of being a single mom being used for every damn problem. It does make life harder than having a partner with you to support you and your child too, but it doesn’t mean you just give up and give your child a bunch of issues.
When I was a kid around these ages, when I'd spend time with my dad's family my grandmother would make me things like pasta and cheese or ramen noodles and it legitimately made my stomach hurt. Thankfully, my grandmother on my mom's side would actually cook healthy foods and I spent most of my time with them. If these kids aren't having medical issues, they will have huge ones later. It's genuinely very sad how much these parents don't care about the state of their kids.
I wont lie, due to mental problems and how my parents raised me, i was probably mentally stunted/had arrested deployment that kept me back like 10 years from where i should be. Now, i wont deny that things happened to my parents that also affected how they raised us and they didnt know. The one saving grace is, were all now better off than where we were. Im hopefully buying my own home soon and ive had to learn how to do many basic skills on my own. My only hope now is, that i can pass these skills onto my friends kids or others. Because we all know the system wants us to be fat, lazy, and incompetent.
No, there is no system who wants us to be fat, lazy and incompetent. It's a matter of money, always. Because so many people find convenient food far more attractive than to cook food from scratch, businesses found out that it could make them extremely rich. Even in a natural surrounding, animals prefer an easy life to the one they were born to. Try to feed deer, foxes and other animals from the wild, let's say a whole winter : they will come to your place every day, because it's far more convenient for them than to look for food in the wild with the chance of ending up hungry.
Hello TBYS. I just wanted to thank you for bravely speaking out about politics and views that are controversial nowadays. Im an 18 year old woman from Finland, a traditional feminist and an ex-wokeist. A few years ago, when I first started seeing political discussions online, I disagreed with them mildly because I didnt think they represented true equality, and I wasnt afraid to speak my mind. But then I observed that having "wrong" opinions would get you verbally beaten, so I made myself believe the "correct" thoughts. I discovered you during the starting point of my switch back to more conservative thinking. I thought you were hateful and close-minded. But the more I've started accepting my conservatism, the more I've realised that you are actually more equal than the woke people I was a part of. You think just like I used to think before I was converted politically. And I have to admit, forcing myself to think the "right" way for so long has left me without the ability to think for myself anymore, which is sad, but I'm slowly healing. I want to thank you so much, you're doing incredible work, and I'm glad I no longer feel like its me against the world. Dont let them tear you to pieces out there, they can be cruel, but all your thousands of followers are here to stand with you.
The added entertainment value in this video is I get to hear someone say "frozen dino nuggies" in an entirely serious tone which is apparently a bucket list item I didn't know I had
It is crazy how easy it is to get people to eat veggies if you know how to season properly and cook. I had a friend in college who was adamant that he hated carrots. Well, once he tried my homemade chili he couldn't get enough of them. Taking veggies and making them palatable is really not that hard: use seasoning and spices, then cook for the proper amount of time.
I always loved veggies more than meat. I still like meat and won’t do without to keep a source of easy healthy proteins. I struggle a bit more with fruits. I disliked the struggle of munching meat until I could swallow without chocking myself. The veggies are easy to eat and can be prepared in many various ways that taste good. To me, I don’t understand why eating veggies could be that hard.
@@GuillaumePerronNantelI only like grapes for fruit but love veggies. Though if I start craving every type of fruit I know sometime in the next week I'm going to be sick.
My mom is a LEGEND and used to stand over the pot waiting for the veggies to finish boiling in my soup. She would tell me to eat (or drink) her soup she worked very hard on. I used to hate it, but the more I had it and the more I realized how much my mom spent to make me happy, I started to eat it more. Although I’m still very picky, I am trying more and more things and going “hey, this isn’t that bad!” W to my mom.
This. I was a picky eater kid, never ate “healthy “, but rode my back everywhere, constantly. So I was what we called “chubby” back then and outgrew it in my teens. Chubby then would be normal now.
As a kid I used to have extremly bad pseudokrupp ( genetic extrem form of asthma ) until I was 12. I used to eat homecooked meals from my grandma and was a bit chubby for german standarts. I couldn't even run for 200 metres without falling to the ground and fighting for air, to be fair I even was more then bit jealous when I saw all the other children doing it. I was told before that my uncle used to have the same illness I had, but also how it subsided around the age of 10. So the day I turned 10 I started running but for the next 2 years I would always struggle to even reach the end of the road without literally dying. More then ones I considered giving up, but one day everything changed I reached my goal but I felt good so I kept running, I ran for literally 40 minutes, no Joke I felt like Forest Gump that day. Looking back at it it might have been the best day of my life, besides mayby graduation. But since that day I run 2hours a day 4 days a week, started martial arts and I love the opportunity that was gifted to me. I also lost alot of weight but I never changed my nutrition/food intake. There is a kind of exercise for everyone, and if the kid wants to do it, then it will do it.
“But when you’re not here filming, we get a takeaway” I actually spit out my coffee, that was golden. Gotta love kids, they say the darndest things don’t they?
Parents can lie but kids tell the truth

Their honesty is just funny
To liers, the truth sure is the darndest alright
Kids never fail to speak the truth
Allways been so weird to me how parents proclaim that they love their kids, and then procced to destroy their own kids life
They love what the kid does for the parent. The kid is used as a tool to manage the parents feelings and as a vessel for the parent's shadow. In psychotherapy speak it's called Narcissism. In this case classic FemiNarcissism.
Often the mother demonises the exhusband making him the baddie, and by implication herself the goodie. Thus when it comes to discipline the kid the mum doesn't want to be BadCop to the kid.
These people don't know what it's like to genuinely love and care about someone else's future well-being, and have only ever seen the act of loving someone from a shallow, vapid, and materialistic point of view. Any thoughts on how this will negatively affect the rest of the child's life are rationalized as "I'm doing my best, what more do you want from me?"
I GAVE YOU LIFE, HOW DARE YOU SAY I DID SOMETHING WRONG, I DID WHAT I COULD UNGRATEFUL CHILD
Maybe the mothers have been provided everything their whole lives and genuinely have no clue how a child can grow up and take care of themselves. If everything is given to you and you never have to work for anything you can't pass that behaviour to your kids.

It’s scary how some parents don’t care enough about their kids to make some time for them
When my daughter started eating Solid foods a few months ago, she was very picky at first, especially since I started her on veggies. She got used to them very quickly and I learned that she preferred foods I cooked over baby food. I don't blame her, that stuff is nasty. Now at a year and two months old, She loves russian foods, Italian foods, Asian foods, some lower heat spicy foods like my chili and japchae, all veggies except corn (she hates it getting stuck in her teeth), all fruits except bananas, dairy and eggs, and she doesn't like sweets that much, except yogurt or the peanut butter chocolate bars I make (she hates Cookies, icing and cake, and Ice cream and throws tantrums if you try to get her eat some like for her birthday). It took me 5 months of trials with her to get her to love fruits, veggies, and meats to move her from as picky as my brother (Who has never even tried Steak, any fruits or veggies, or different types of rice or pasta dishes) to eating better and enjoying more variety than her older cousins. It's not hard to do. It's not hard to cook a 30 min dinner. It's not hard to tell your kid "no". And it's certainly not hard to feed them appropriate proportions so they learn not to over eat and have the energy to play and stay fit. I did it with a severely premature baby Who is physically and developmentally at the age of a 9 month old, so I certainly know it can be done with a term baby developing normally. Shit, most women don't even realize that they themselves don't need to gair more than 15 to 30 lbs when pregnant and can lose that weight quickly as they play with the baby and practice healthy eating habits with their baby when they begin trying new foods. I only gained 12 lbs and 3 months after birth, was right back down to 98 lbs.

I was kept away from junk food as a kid by my parents and used to get jealous of other kids who’d get to eat sugary cereals, McDonald’s and drink fizzy drinks on a regular basis. Now that I am an adult, I’m so thankful that that never became normalised to me.
This is the sacrifice a parent has to make. They have to look for your FUTURE not your present. Usually that means putting you through uncomfortable situations as a child to hopefully make you more capable as an adult.
Being a good parent isn't about being your child's best friend it's about being their guide and mentor even if they dislike you for it. That's the sacrifice.
Not eating poison ??? CRAZY!!!@TheRealCatof
It’s complete poison
@TheRealCatof A lot of people when they were completely restricted of junk food as a kid just go crazy with it when they are finally independent
Yhis is the Problem. Some kids who have actual parents who care never grow to see this and spoil and destroy their own children as a result.
As a pediatrician I see this all the time. Parents of toddlers or preschoolers basically tattling on their own kids about overeating. And I always ask them who establishes their portions or where they get the money for sbacks from, and suddwnly they go silent and stare at the floor...
Oof, tough job you have there, I admire you. 💪🙏 Having to deal with adult children is nerve-wracking. 😂
@@em0_tion Not nerve-wracking, simply exhausting.
Please keep your chin up, Doc. Cozy imagine that has to be super difficult, Cozy no could do what you do. It must be depressing. We need more like you in this world to remind parents that they are parents.
I was pretty fat as a little baby because I wouldn't stop screaming and screeching my throat out if I didn't get more food. I had to eat almost twice as much as a regular kid. My weight got to a normal age when I was a couple years old. I can't really blame my mother for feeding me a lot when she physically couldn't do anything about my love for food
My kids are in very good health, they exercise regularly and they're healthy weights. I am shocked by some of the portion sizes that kids nowadays eat. My kids would feel sick if they ate that much, I'd be sick if I ate that much. Parents are way overfeeding them
I'm a recovering food addict who's lost 60 lb since last year. It's bad enough when these people harm themselves with food. To project that harm on kids is abuse. These parents would rather have their family die early than face the feelings they're trying to shove down with food.
Wow that is amazing.
I am down 12kg at 5’8.
@@C0d0psheight is irrelevant to the weight loss. You can lose 12kgs at 4'11, it'll still be losing a great deal of weight.

Health and weight loss are intrinsically linked.

You mean you're recovering from being fat due to personal choices. Saying recovering food addict is woman terminology to avoid accountability
That beginning part about beef or her beef is so true, when I was a kid and my parents were married my mom would always steam the veggies because that's how my dad liked them because he's from the Midwest and I thought I didn't like veggies, but when they split she started cooking them in more interesting ways like sauteing, roasting, and other ways and I came to like veggies quite a lot, preparation makes a huge difference.
It's not because he's from the Midwest.
We know how to cook out here, and have for generations.
@@stevenschnepp576Depends on where you are and what family. My bf’s rural Wisconsin family cooks the life out of their food with little seasoning.
The veggies may have been oversteamed and underseasoned too. The goal is usually to make them pliable but still slightly crunchy with a little salt to bring out the flavor if you’re being absolutely minimalist.
Steamed broccoli is my favorite

That's really common, MDs don't know about health or nutrition..

@@CollaredConsultinganyone can know about nutrition and I'm sure doctors know more than most. I don't see too many obese doctors
Parents that don't understand that their kids health is their responsibility drives me nuts. I have a neighbor whose son had to have an operation on I believe his achilles tendon. The doctor was clear that he had to wear a brace at night to keep the tendon from shortening, it is apparently also very difficult to perform the operation a second time. The kid being a kid did not want to wear the brace and the mom let him sleep without it because she didn't want to be "mean". Its been like 10 years now and the kid, now a teen, can't place his foot flat on the ground and will have to limp for the rest of his life.
That's so sad, poor kid.
It's like people opposed to vaccines : you can still see today children in wheelchairs because their stubborn parents didn't want any shot against polio... There is a driving license if you want to drive a car; there should be a "parenting license" if you want kids.
Rationalized weakness - she just didn't want to hear the kid whine about it.
Thats why a father figure is important in everyones life
@@butlazgazempropan-butan11k87 Weak fathers are a thing too. But yeah, the mother could have saved her son from being disabled.
I was a very fussy child, i went through a phase where i would only want to eat chocolate, chips and generally junk.
My mother refused to acknowledge this behaviour so I'd have to eat whatever I'd refused to eat the day before, we were also a poor family so wasting food was a big deal.
You can bet i grew out of this behaviour pretty quickly.

I've seen comments from parents who said that their autistic child was close to being hospitalized or even hospitalized because they would have literally starved because their safe food was withdrawn from them.
Whenever I see the children in these documentaries, I become more grateful of my mother, who when I was younger (between 10 - 12) ,saw I was becoming more on the heavier side and instead of saying "Aw well, he looks healthy" or "Ah it's just genetics" actually changed the diet in the house. We used to eat fast food quite consistently but then my mother started doing healthy home cooked meals and I will be forever thankful for that.
You're lucky , I'm 22 still living with my parents and my mom still doesn't cook healthy , I mostly eat my own food , but It's unconfortable watching her trying to lose weight when she doesn't listen to my advices , like , because I'm skinny young male , my body proceses food differently , is what she thinks

Cooking for someone is not only a sign of love but also how it's done reflects the depth of that love.
I truly agree
I get your point, but that isn't always true. My mother cooked meals and most of the dinners I ate growing up. However, she was psychologically abusive. Her words and other actions proved that she did not care for me. So, a person can cook for another person, but not truly care about them.
@@proudatheist2042 Was she a good cook?
@@mattward5010I doubt it 😢
@@mattward5010 LMAO, I was hoping that she at least cooked good.....
Not only do I love cooking because I can monitor what I'm eating, but the creativity and fun behind it is also incredibly stress relieving. Going fishing with friends and roasting fresh fish on a campfire is a great example. I'm very thankful to have been raised by people who value healthy home cooked meals over processed shit.
That’s dope man
I enjoy cooking as well for those reasons. The only difference is that I had to teach it to myself because even though I was helping in the kitchen during family gatherings nothing was really explained to me. I kid you not that I had to ask Google how to boil a potatoe when I moved out of my mom's appartement.
When I was a kid my parents used to make pork chops that were hard, dry and tasted terrible that they made me eat. To this day I still have a general hesitance to eating pork even though I've had much better pork since then. So what you said about how your parents cooking can effect your tastes is definitely true.
I generally don't like pork and forget it exists until people mention it.
Same thing with me and chicken legs, my mom overcooked the hell out of them and drowned them in cheap sauce. Then she would wonder why i just had rice or something else instead.
My mom did the same to me with chicken... Chicken. One of the most available and affordable meats and I am hesitant to eat it even though I know I cook it really well... It sucks.
Pea and ham soup was mine man. Step mom couldn't cook without a microwave.
My friend's dad used to make "pea soup" which was just boiled water and frozen peas with no salt poured into a bowl, water and all.@@stubbyfoamz1
My mom was addicted to health. She was obsessed. We weren't allowed to have any processed sugar, we grew a huge garden, raised our own chickens and goats for meat, milk, and eggs. We were also homeschooled so she had us on some pretty rigorous fitness routines. We had to do 4 mile rucks, lap swimming, cross country skiing, and other workouts. As a kid I didn't like not being able to eat like "normal" kids, but now that I'm an adult I'm glad she was on that side of the spectrum rather than the opposite. My brothers are absolute units, 6'3, washboard abs, and college football scholarships. I've had 3 babies and I'm still in good shape. I'm glad I grew up with a foundation of health, but I could have done without her aversion to modern medicine, antibiotics are good.😂 I'm trying to strike the balance with my own kids. My husband grew up in an obese family, but he's very on board with health for our children
Antibiotics are not good-good, my dear. They're okay in certain emergency scenarios, and I do mean emergencies, not just, "Oh, I feel really ill." For one, it does a number on your gut flora, which is extremely important in proper digestion, and maintaining homeostasis, or physiological balance. Antibiotics are like an easy get-out-of-jail card, except you're not aware that you just dipped into your savings, and perhaps even took on a bank loan to pay for that card...
Try to look at antibiotics the same way you would look at surgical tools.
@@tigonridge firstly, why speak like a condescending jerk? Yes, I'm aware you shouldn't rush to antibiotics for every little thing, but I had Lyme disease with a 105 fever and she didn't take me in until I was so delirious that I didn't know what was happening. 😂
So ur mom wasn‘t „addicted“ to health rather she just was healthy and teach that to her kids?
@@timothygabriel7250 firstly, you missed my point. I was expressing that I am grateful for a lot of it now. Also, my mom is severely mentally ill, she's institutionalized most of the time now. She was absolutely beyond just being healthy, she was obsessed and I don't want to get into all the details about it (she did some messed up stuff to try to make us healthy) but she had very serious psychotic breaks, one of which resulted in her having to be pulled off of me and authorities called in the middle of the night because she attacked me during a hallucination. That's why I said that I'm trying to strike the balance. I'm not bitter towards my mom, even with her issues, she did a lot right.
@@timothygabriel7250 what? she said they weren't allowed to have ANY sugar. nothing wrong with having sugar here and there. she even said 'find a balance with my own kids'. her mother was an addict

I used to be overweight, and started running 1.6km a day for 2 months straight(age 13). I slimmed down, but a little too much. I was introduced to your channel and started working out(i just got back frim the gym as im typing this). Working for fitness and my own mental health. Your channels helps.

Running 1.6km burns less than 100 calories, I’m sure that didn’t do much.
Wish I’d had your focus and sense at 18. Keep on rocking, bro.
@@GrainMuncherJust like your comment.
You can be genetically predisposed to addiction, sure, but that only means if you perform the habit, it's more likely to form. That means parents who have predispositions toward addiction have to be _extra responsible_ to ensure their children don't repeat their mistakes.
🎯
Exactly: My father is an alcoholic to the point he is developing early on dementia due to alcohol abuse. I've never touched alcohol even once because of this, and what do you know I'm not destroying my life or health with alcohol because I know that I'm predisposed to addiction.
My older half-brother cut out alcohol because he recognised that it made him irritable, just like our father.
Surprisingly didn't happen to me. My dad's addicted to smoking, but I figured that cigars aren't meant to be smoked all the time, so I'll be fine, but I knew that it still was a slippery slope and that I had to check myself. I shockingly didn't feel the need to repeat that often. I did a few times, making sure to smoke once and stop for a long period of time, that being months, before I did it again. The last time I had one was this summer. I wanted to read a book outside with a cigar, and it ended up not being fun and not working at all. Never touched one again, never felt the want for another.
Probably because I followed my dad's advice. "You can smoke cigars once in a while, but don't graduate to cigarettes." Never did, never will, and then I took extra precautions that he never mentioned.
Point is, don't smoke, you don't need it.
Yep. Both of my parents are (or rather, were, in one case) alcoholics. I watch myself and routinely check to make sure that I'm not overindulging in any vice, not just alcohol, because you can get addicted to online shopping just as readily as alcohol.
I come from a family with a history of addiction, all it means is I have to be extra cautious about addictive stuff. It's like having asthma or needing to get amputated. you have to change how you live, that's just life.
Thank you for your content! Your wake up call of a channel made me see past how I was raised around food. I grew up with a parent who didn’t have the money to cook and didn’t know what was healthy at times. Started making changes, lost 60lbs, and my life has been on a better track than ever before! I’m pursuing higher education and am trying, failing, and trying again to taper my workout/diet
How the hell can someone not have the money to cook? Isn't it cheaper to cook vs order takeout?
I always feel the need to stop making excuses and get my life in order after watching any genre of these videos, but find it’s so easy to get distracted back into the same old habits.
it's very hard to break habits. To break a habit easy, you need to change your mindset on the habit you're trying to break/what you're trying to do.
I feel if you have a positive mindset and will put the energy to break the habit, it should be harder to fall back into that habit.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting things to change. Always stayed with me so good luck on the journey to better yourself. 🙌
try doing little steps like, in this month 5 hours of screentime, in next months 4 hours, etc. In this month i care about food only 1 day a week, and then add one day every months, bad habids are bult slowly, so getting rid of them should be same
It's a process. I find something that's helped me keep and maintain a habit is to have a calendar that I mark. If there is a thing I want to make a daily habit, it will get a green check if I do it and a red X if I miss the mark. This gives you something tangible you can look at to view your progress. The other thing that I find is important is to forgive yourself for falling off the wagon, and most important - to get back on it ASAP.
As an over all addict, food is the hardest addiction to break. Everything else I cut cold turkey and let it roll... But you can't cut food cold turkey. It's definitely not easy but every time I watch these and hear others success stories, I know it can be done ❤
"she won't try beef or she won't try beef when you make it?" YES as someone whose mom overcooked everything into leather I can relate. when my mom made hamburgers she would smash every last bit of juice out of them while they was frying and cook them almost black but also uses so much cooking oil they float in the pan, stuff that should take 60 seconds in the microwave she would microwave for 5 minutes, my mom drinks a quart of chocolate milk before bed every night and then wonders why she can't lose weight
Amen! My mom wasn't a good cook, so I grew up liking fast food. Eating at other people's houses made me realize how good food can taste
Yeah my mom is/was paranoid about food being undercooked or having germs and also hated salt, she used other spices/herbs thankfully. So everything was unsalted and cooked fully/overcooked. I didn't like beef at all growing up, liked most the other meats though.
You probably shouldn't run your own mother down like that to strangers.
It shows your low character.

same here! same experience. i’m 5’2 and in highschool, 98lb was the heaviest i would weigh. my mom fed me with one giant bowl of rice and cheese throughout my whole childhood and adolescence. or one pack of mac and cheese. yet, i was still skinny.
after 18, i started eating lots of burgers and pizza. it did make me gain weight but i got that salt-water retention puffy look.

I’m a registered dietitian that has a handful of child clients (I try to avoid working with them unless they’re in a dire state because parents rarely listen to anything) and I’ve seen HORRID things with kids. I had a client that had a 5 year old boy that had stretch marks on his FACE. His mom tried to tell me that he ate normally and it must be a gland issue. As if a 5 year old can get to 106lbs eating normally. I’ve seen other parents tell me they figured their kids would grow out of it and other stupid bull shit like that. The best way to make your kid eat healthy is to stop making unhealthy food. How in SATANS NAME are they going to find other food if they have no other choice. Your kids will eventually just eat healthy if they have no other choice
It's a pathology of modern parenting; they can't bear for their kids to be hungry or otherwise uncomfortable for a single second. Very different from when I was a kid; one of my mother's and father's favourite expressions when I was growing up was "It won't kill you." As in, "Mom/Dad, can I have snack? I'm hungry." "No! Dinner's in less than an hour!" "But I'm HUNG-ry!" "So, BE hungry for an hour! It won't kill you!"
@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci I see nothing wrong with feeding your child when they ask for food. But you have 100% control of what that food is. Carrots, celery, Seeds, nuts, even light amount of chips or bread products are fine. But parents refuse to take responsibility and action when it comes to that part of the health of their child.
@@Wodenseyes I guess I'm just a bit more old-school; I don't think there's anything wrong with not letting your child eat between meals as long as the intervals are not too long (eg., if they eat a good lunch at 12 pm they can certainly make it to dinner at 6 pm without fainting). Too much grazing throughout the day - even if it's only healthy food they're grazing on - is one of the main reasons for battles at the dinner table; kids often just aren't hungry at all when they sit down to a meal because their stomachs are full of snacks. Letting them guzzle fruit juice or milk like it's water all day long is a major culprit, too. You can't enjoy food if you're not hungry, and there's no point in having regular family meals if everyone doesn't enjoy them.
Stretch marks on face?!?? 😱😱😱😱
Its ignorance about carbohydrate addiction. Put them on a fat heavy meat and animal based diet and their hormones and dopamine will level out and become normal again
In my postnatal classes / mum’s group when we were talking about weening the midwife explained she saw families who would say “my child won’t eat broccoli” and she would ask them “do you eat broccoli?” And the answer was always no. She explained kids will eat what they see their parents eat. My daughter is 20 months and eats all her vegetables, meats, fruits and dairy. I couldn’t imagine hindering her health out of laziness.
Whenever my son goes through a phase of refusing foods he ate before I will ask him to feed the stuff of his plate to me. Most of the time after he feeds me some he will start to eat it too.
My 42 year old daughter got exactly what we got when weaned which was meats and steamed veggies but put through the mouli. She wouldn't touch it. Luckily she loved broccoli, meat & Vegemite toast so she thrived.
Don't ever assume your experience is everyone elses.
@@cincin4515 i didn’t do purée foods with my little one. I did baby led weaning and I have found, for my child at least, it made feeding herself an enjoyable independent (albeit messy) task for her which has given her a lot of confidence when it comes to trying new foods. I never make her eat foods if she’s not in the mood or going through a fussy stage. But I also never offer her junk or processed foods because we simply don’t have them in the house.
I’m sure how you fed your child was appropriate also (unlikely you would be interested in this channel if not?). My point was the rule (not the exception- kids with sensory issues or disabilities etc) seems to be if you eat healthy foods and your kids see that and they mimic you and want to please you, your kids will likely take your lead. And if not, then you need to find another way to keep them healthy (like you did) without giving up and feeding them processed crap.
But also, not going to lie, meat and steamed vegetables sounds pretty bland and unappealing.

I can confirm this 100%. My younger sister, the most impressionable person I've ever met in childhood, saw my mom refuse a scoop of eggs. Up until that point, she ate & loved eggs. But seeing my mom reject them one time, she IMMEDIATELY said "Then I don't like eggs either" After she saw my mom reject the eggs. She wouldn't eat eggs for like 12yr & was adamant that she never liked them. Only until recently did she admit that she always loved eggs, it was our mother rejecting them that caused this false belief she never liked them

"My kid devours everything, she refuses to eat anything that is not fatty or sugary" Girl, that's the behavior YOU taught her! Why do these parents fail to realize that they decide what food comes onto the plate, therefore an obese child is entirely their fault. A hungry kid will eat what is presented to them, they might cry or throw a fit, but eventually they will eat because they know they have to.
I grew up sorta like libby, where my parents didn’t know how to cook. Surprisingly, we were underweight because my mom was so afraid of making food taste good with seasoning, she’d eat bland vegetables and over cooked unseasoned meats. Once I got older, I learn how to cook and it helped me put on some weight since I was always too thin as a teenager. I learned a LOT about food and nutrition, but so many of my peers don’t know the first thing about eating healthy or cooking. I wish that schools still taught cooking, otherwise we’d see people at least be able to cook SOMETHING instead of wasting money on takeout.

That's a great way to create a food insecure kid/adult. Sure don't try to introduce a new food while they're full. But starving a kid so they eat something will not in fact make them like it. People will become cannibals for survival afterall.
@@Neoprenesiren "Omg, if you tell a kid they have to eat what you make and don't instantly make them the junk they want, they're going to eat the first person they see!"
Really?
I don't know if you've ever had this happen, yet I find that when I need to drink water because I have only been drinking coffee, pop, juice or whatever else and I'm getting dehydrated, the water actually tastes slightly sweet and it is soooo refreshing. I do have a bit of a sweet tooth but obviously, water can't really compete with pop, juice or perhaps an energy drink.
So, making a kid sit there until they eat their meal while refusing to make them the junk they want or letting them have junk food from a box, not only isn't starving them, it's also teaching them that they're not going to get their way and gets them used to eating healthier food. That sets them up for success, not failure, due to a lack of willpower and the parents' ability to set boundaries with the kids.
You saying they're going to become cannibals for survival is equating them having to wait for a few minutes up to maybe an hour to people being stranded for months with no food in the middle of nowhere. Totally different situation.
@@xantishayde-walker4593 No if you starve your kids because they won't eat a apple you need cps to take them kids away.
@@Neoprenesirenthis is the exact reason why we are facing issues bruh. They'll eventually eat when they are hungry, they'll even understand the value of food.
Yup. Its like when you're hungry enough, top ramen seems like lobster.
I’m a doctor practicing in a rural part of Texas. A big problem around here (and many places similar to where I am) is accessibility to healthy food. When you have to drive an hour to get to a proper grocery store and your car is unreliable, you don’t have money for gas, or you don’t even have a car… then you have to eat whatever shit is available / affordable to you. I think the childhood obesity epidemic is definitely multi factorial, but the so called “food deserts” that preclude people from even having the option to try to eat healthier are a major problem. Not saying that any of this is applicable to the families featured here, but it is certainly applicable to numerous families across the US.
Really? You don't have there raw meat, potatoes, grains, vegetables? Even in the middle of Siberia it is i possible for me to imagine
@nadezdat5081 are you suggesting everyone has the appropriately zoned land in sufficient space to raise livestock and grow grain and veggies and fruit? That would be cool
@@cynthianm1743 it's rural parts. if you aren't farming wtf are you doing?
@theyellowmeaning7507 rural does not mean do whatever and it does not mean everyone has unlimited land. Not all rural land is zoned to have live stock.
@@cynthianm1743 i didnt specify livestock; i specified farming as in veggies; but my family grew up raising chickens in a suburb in china. rural land has more freedom. zoning is not absolute.
This was why I was a picky eater growing up. My mom was a horrible cook and never accepted any criticism.
I currently work at a fast food place and it always makes me sad to hand out food to 400lb behemoths that some how has kids. I hate how little people care about themselves or kids.
there are plenty of videos on UA-cam of people’s home movies that they shot at McDonald’s prior to the 90s. Watch those videos and then compare them to those same places today. The difference will shock you.
The fast food industry fell for that smear, campaign against saturated, fat hook, line, and sinker. Even Julia, Child noted this in a testimony to Congress. She admitted she liked McDonald’s fries until they changed the type of oil they fry them in. The closest I have ever gotten to re-creating the taste I remember from being a child in the 1980s was frying jicama sticks in beef tallow. She was on to something.
@@Attmaylol no they didn't fall for it. They were part of the ones pushing it. They knew how bad the switch was, but they want everyone weak, overweight, sick and addicted.
Did you know Margarine is one molecule away from plastic and shares 27 ingredients with paint.
Feed them poisons that are addictive so they become sick and overweight. Then they go to Dr's and get drugs from companies that you have large stocks in. You can double/triple the profit you receive.
They know exactly what they are doing, I can promise you that.

I don't know how i found this channel but it's GREAT! I absolutely love what I've been seeing, and on point takes. I've been binge watching, no pun.
This can easily be applied to screens as well as food. Parents who sit around playing on their phones have kids who do the same, and then they end up with major psychological and behavior problems from not being socialized properly.
yess im so glad sbd mentioned this!
I'm so grateful to have parents who are involved and educated but so many kids in this generation are just being raised by a screen and it's just so sad :(
I quit drinking over 6 months ago and have been changing how I eat, doing 3 day fasts and such. I'm down from 220 to 190. Your channel has been great motivation. The way the you break things down is fantastic. Great for anyone wanting to look inward instead of looking for external things or people to blame
Don't even know ya and I'm proud of ya. Keep it up
I started to take charge of my weight the end of last summer, I went from 231lbs to 199 just before Christmas. Even coming out the other side of the festive period I'm only back to to 201lbs.

@@jimi_jams Congratulations, that's friggin sweet! It does feel great! Setting even more goals now, gotta keep it moving lol
@TheRealCatof The overall goals are discipline and health. I'm enjoying getting into a healthy lifestyle. I'm still learning, so I appreciate your comment :-)
I grew up in the 60s. We didn't have TV, cell phones, video games, etc. We played outside every moment we could. Hanging out at home meant chores. We built forts, 'let's pretend', cowboys and indians, cops and robbers, whatever. We were all healthy and in good shape. The was the occasional chubby kid, and he was out playing too. IMHO, technology, the 'latch key' life, taking disciplining children away from parents, processed foods, and social media had destroyed a generation!
I miss playing outside, everything was ruined after 2019. Even after the pandemic was over, my friends were on their phones more often and didn't wanna play anything outside. Last year we would go to the park n stuff but we're not allowed anymore bc of shootings there... Things r way too dry now.
This was filmed in 2010, would be interesting to see how they turned out. Theyd be ~20 years old now
Yeah, that'd be great to see.
I think we can make a good guess
Basically all the food I ate growing up was some combination of bland, burned, or boot leather tough. The only reason I ate it was because it was the only thing on the menu, but it also happened to be the best thing for me.
Too many parents these days think that the best thing for the child is whatever the child wants, which is not the case nearly 100% of the time. In reality, parents choose what seems like the easy route that won't risk pushing the child away, and while that may be true initially, it very often is not once the teen years hit.
It's absolutely essential for at least one parent to hold power over the child and maintain the leadership role throughout the development years. If the child is given the power, as is now so often the case, then any further development will only happen at the child's own discretion, and guidance will come from whatever is most convenient at any given moment, which can lead to all sorts of disaster.
Sounds like a battered wife explaining why the black eyes are good for her. Plenty of people grew up eating scrumptious well seasoned and cooked meals and aren't obese. Frankly, they're less likely to be obese. The obesity comes when sugary salty sauces replace flavour on the plate.
Many parents are not willing to do the parenting part. Where I live, we have a joke how uncles/aunts are like parents but only for the fun times. Nowadays most parents are just that.
Yup. Too many parents let their kids run the household. One of my biggest peeves about my nephew's parents is that just about every time they tell him to do something, or not to do something, they phrase it like a request or a question. The problem is that *request can be denied*. They ask the kid to put his toys away and he doesn't want to so he just ignores them...or worse...tells them "No".
Chris chan’s parents did both and look where that got them
100%. These videos are fascinating, but the narrator is disconnected from reality. It is all about access, not seasoning. Holy shit, drink every time this guy says "you didn't season it right." No, the parents need to stop giving kids access to bad food and sign them up for sports or activities.
When you only eat junk food, healthful food tastes noticeably worse. To a 7 year old, a bag of chips that are essentially designed in a lab to get you to want to eat more of them is going to be *vastly* more appealing than probably-poorly-cooked vegetables and unprocessed foods in general. I've literally never had success with weight loss until I cut out ~all~ industrially processed food (with the exception of some kinds of food--hard cheese, for instance--where some processing is inherent) because once I did, after a while a lot of the foods I had avoided (fruits and vegetables especially) started tasting fantastic. So much of our diets are informed by foods that are purposefully made to get us to want to eat more and eat worse, hijacking our instinctual need for nutrients like lipids and sugars to get us genuinely addicted.
great point. Fast Food is also made to be addictive just like potato chips...can't eat just one. Lord knows what chemicals they put in our food but the more processed ones have a ton more. Home grown vegetables taste significantly different than those bought at the grocery store.
Your videos are, and have always been so great. I think I've watched every single one throughout years and I don't think any of them were a waste of time at all. There is always something to learn and reflect upon in them. Thank you for you hard work.
54 kg?? I'm 5'6 and 47 kg and 21. She weighs more than me!!! Parents really shouldn't turn a blind eye on the love of their child. I know it hurts for them to see kids to lose weight, but it's essential . May God bless them. I grew up incredibly underweight and I'm already suffering health issues due to it , so I can really sympathize with this child.
damn u really thin
Same height but I'm 60kg and im muscular 54 is insane for 7
Eat chips
@@3man3A lol my body fat percentage is normal but my bone density is incredibly low. Once I broke my arm after I tripped over a rock. I guess that's what happens when you grow up deficient in calcium, vit D, iron etc. but being overweight actually causes more health issues than underweight, and she's only 7 with gastrointestinal issues (as in the video).

@@thelostwanderergames4287 noice noice, yes it's too much for a 7 year old!

It's how they're being raised and taught
Besides making sure you cook your food right, if your kid refuses to eat you tell them too bad. If they come back later saying they’re hungry you off them the same food. Rinse and repeat. Eventually the kid will say “fine” and actually eat the food. They can also shop around a bit and find stuff that is healthy, filling, and low cal she may want to eat
Yes. Although there are kids with legit sensory issues. In that case, find the healthy food they do like, and offer that.
@@biffm.2806 my son has sensory issues and he manages. Just because they have sensory issues doesn’t mean they won’t absolutely avoid something, you ease them into it on their terms. But healthy food options should always be done first.
@@biffm.2806 I find it hard to believe that there is some sort of physical or mental problem that can overcome hundreds of millions of years of evolution, strengthening the concept of “eat when you are hungry”.

Too bad shits too expensive now that it's not easy to eat healthy
When I was a kid, I used to take pride in the fact that I could eat alot. My dad would often say to my mom, "Did you manage to satisfy the bear?" Whenever I was full. And I would take that as a compliment of sorts, but now I realized the amount of food I was consuming was not normal for a 7-8 year old. My parents were strict with food, I consider my school lunches were quite balanced (1 sandwich, some fruit or veggies and something sweet, like a cookie),we almost never had fast food (McDonald's, KFC and so on) but despite that I developed a nasty habit of sneaking into the fridge or sweets cabinet and eat everything.
My parents, for the most part, found it funny, but sometimes they would get mad and punish me. But that habit never went away. Now, at 17, I wish my parents would have been more strict with my food intake. At the moment, I am 80 kg and drownings in insecurities anout my body. Most of the people around me are 50-70 kg max and eat a lot less than me. I feel alone and alien when the topic of food comes up because mine and their viwes are completely different. They can eat whatever they like because they are thin, while i have to keep looking and taking note of what i eat because i dont have that luxury of enjoying the food i eat. This has spiraled into me going a full days on nothing, but gum and water because this way no one can judge me on what I eat. I am never happy in the clothes I wear and I feel a certain envy when I am Aron my friends, which festers in my head and turns to resentment. I often have horrible mood swings and blow-up for no reason. I don't want to live like this. This is not the real me, but it's the reality I live in. All of this because of my weight.
I feel like as a parent, your child's happiness should be a priority, but you need to put your foot down when it comes to matters like this. Think about the present, but always keep in mind the future of your child.
have you considered therapy? it sounds like you have a lot of stuff going on, it might be helpful. even talking with the school counselor once a week may improve ur life and mental state.
It seems like you have some mental health chewing you up. I think its best to try and be in the best mindset so you can truly dial in on fitness, exercising, working out, eating healthier and feel good throughout the process
"Does it grow from the ground or does it have a mother?" That was the diet I switched to, lost 15 lbs, had more energy, and was sleeping better. I encourage people to cut just processed food out, and you'll be shocked how much weight you lose!
Does it come from a plant or from a "plant"
I love how you rightfully mention and intertwine one's social life with one's dietary choices. It's absolutely true. Everything you said about her being seen as unlikable will manifest. Not only is she going to have a difficult time socializing with friends. As mentioned, she will most likely have a difficult time dating as well. This is why I think it's so important for parents to take care of themselves. Not only are you exemplifying self-love and healthy habits to your child; but you will extend out your own life and you won't die on your kid at 50. This just goes to show how your mating habits, and romantic issues tie into your child's future as well. If she was happily and successfully married, she wouldn't have to rush around so much. Her and her husband could split child care duties, and if she marries well, she could have even been a stay at home mom. Everybody wants to call it bigotry when you point out these truths, but it's not. You can be mad at reality all you want to, but it will ultimately show itself for the truth that it really is. People need to make good mating and dietary choices, for themselves and for the sake of their children's futures.
Yeah but pointing it out after thr fact won't solve her issues. You can't rewind time.
People who call this bigotry are just lazy unsuccesfull failures scared to face reality of life.
Life is all about making choices and if you continue making the easy, low effort ones, your life will turn to shit.
This is why you don’t keep easy to grab food without some form of preparation. Once a child knows how to cook for themselves they have a better respect for food.
As a parent. I see that Libby runs the house. Just the way she talks to her mom makes me bristle.
Seriously.
Always coming through in the clutch when I can't go to sleep you're the goat!

Have you ever checked out "Secret Eaters"? it's another older British show that basically shows how people don't understand how much they are eating
Yeah I believe he does have videos on that show
Funny, when I didn't want to eat my vegetables as a kid the answer was "don't worry, I can warm them back up for you when you're hungry later!"
You had the choice to leave the table? I had to eat everhthing on thr plate.
@@chreg89 yes, though it's not an option I can remember utilizing, it probably only happened a few times. Vegetables do not become more appealing when reheated, especially when you KNOW the thing you didn't eat is the next thing you're going to eat.
Also it generally went something like "here's a scoop of food, more?" so if I had too much food on my plate it was my own fault.
One way my parents got us to eat veggies was to mix it in a whole food homemade sauce. Also vegetables should be cooked.
My Mom, my brother, my sister and I all have some form of depression and that contributed heavily to us being overweight. Now my mother has dropped 101 pounds, my brother is down to 220, I'm down to 355 from 368 after three weeks of hard work and my sister is the best off because she's gotten to watch all three of us work at losing the weight.
Work hard, keep the attitude as positive as best you can and you can lose that weight. You can do anything!
I think this also extends to the content we and kids consume. I hypothesize the more how-to videos people watch, the likely that person is to make healthy habits. There are a plethora of how to cook meals in 30 minutes videos that are easy enough to follow along. It can be tough to find the time, but as a trainer told me, "you make time for what you value."
I used to ask "why am I so fat" too. Then I got a weight scale and started tracking what I was eating with a app, then I knew why. For example, I'd have two slices of toast with peanut butter without realizing that each slice of bread was 150 calories and all the peanut butter was 700 calories, so I was having 1000 calories just for breakfast. Now I have a rice cake with half a serving of peanut butter (weighed) since that is about 200 calories.
Good work!
bread and rice are both carbohydrates with high glycemic index. Will still add to weight real fast.
a rice cake? 😬 eat an egg or two. you don't have to cook it in butter if you don't want to and it's so much more satiating.
YOU ATE MORE MORE THAN 100 GRAMS OF PEANUTBUTTER??!!!
@@z.s.r.h what do you recommend instead of eggs? I'm allergic to egg whites and I'm always nauseous after eating them
That's how I was like as a kid. I never played sports, and wanted to only play video games. Looking back now it makes sense why I was behind socially. I didn't know how to make friends until college. My middle school and high school years were hard, because I didn't know how to socialize like the other kids, and I would talk about weird subjects that only a few people could relate to. I did improve a lot after I moved out, and my biggest regret in life was not wanting to play sports with the others, and eating too much, and spending too much time on TV and video games as a kid. I've also noticed that I would focus on the negative aspects of things a lot more than positive aspects, which is very likely to be the reason why a lot of people didn't wanna talk to me. It all makes sense when I look at my previous actions more closely.
Not to nitpick, but thinking before I sleep keeps me awake. 🙃

Kids will test you. Just because they refuse something, doesn’t mean you have to give them something else.
I’ve never forced my kids to eat anything but if they don’t eat what I provide, I tell them they aren’t hungry enough for anything else.
We start our meals eating a massive portion of veggies appetizer style. When they were little, we made it a game, “NO! That’s MY green bean!” Or “how many trees (broccoli) can you eat?”
Then we have our main course and sometimes there is a treat after… typically fruit tho

I kinda agree with the one mom that was upset with the school implementing healthy meals for kids, but not for the same reasons. Schools are government run, and the government screws up everything they're involved with. They think chocolate milk is healthier than water, meat will kill you, and that a healthy meal consists mostly of bread and/or pasta. I wouldn't want the schools trying to give my kids "healthy meals" either.
You’d prefer they try to give unhealthy food?
@@Sic-Semper-Tyranniss, the unhealthy lunches were better than the healthy ones.
Exactly before everything was forced to change my school had the best lunches. Fresh salad, chicken sandwiches, burgers, fruit and sometimes carrot cake. Then it turned into shitty hot dogs, pizza, pasta and packages fruit with waaaay too much sugar.

This video came at the perfect time. Over the last ~1.5 years I’ve lost 150 pounds. I’ve got about 25 pounds left to go to be at the ideal weight for my height and age. Over the last 3 months I’ve just maintained my weight, I originally planned on just a month of maintaining weight but I let it go longer. Yesterday I started back on my strict diet until I lose this last 25 pounds and videos like this one really help me get back in a rhythm of losing weight
Whats this diet friend? I need guidance
@@mindless4338 well for starters me and my fiancé broke up and the motivation to better myself after that played a major role in sticking with it. For my diet I got real serious into fasting and intermittent fasting. For a while I was intermittent fasting everyday eating only between noon and 4pm, and for the food I ate in that time I cut out sugar completely and tried to avoid carbs as much as possible, but otherwise I ate pretty much whatever I wanted. I also got a new job that’s very physical so I’ve been doing a pretty intense workout 4 days a week for a little over a year. Im also a 24 year old male and so my body naturally loses weight pretty easily compared to men in their 40s and such.
But really it just comes down to calories in/calories out, consistent exercise, motivation, and time. If you stay in a calorie deficit and do a little cardio and don’t break those habits and do it for long enough, you will get to whatever goal you’re after.
Dont give up buddy. Get what's yours.
It's weird because "I don't eat that much" is a relative and often inaccurate feeling. I've had the opposite, I always thought I ate a lot but never gained any weight until i monitored the calorie intake and found that on most days I'd only take in 1500- calories (I'm 182 cms, male) and then on one day I'd eat 5k calories and remember that day rather than the rest. For my skinny boys I solved this through exercising a lot so that I yearn for food, sounds dumb but it works.
That's 100% true. 6ft 150 lbs. Dont eat until 1 or 2 in the morning unless I do a lot that day.

Your commentary is the best ❤ sharing this video with my friends
Something that TBYS missed in the section with the grandpa cooking, the grandpa said “No waste, eat it all” when he served that massive plate of food. That’s another part of the reason that kid is so overweight, negative reinforcement for leftovers. DO NOT DO THIS. Telling kids to eat until their plate is empty will teach them to stuff themselves silly, meaning they won’t know their own limits for how much to eat
I did not miss that section. Sometimes I don't mention things on purpose to give the audience a chance to catch it.
So your solution is go ham and be wasteful? As long as if every single meal you eat you don’t completely stuff yourself then I don’t see a problem
Finish what's in the plate is not wrong on its own. The person who over-filled the plate is to blame.
@@lamb-mz2sdI absolutely agree with that. Portion sizes are insane for some people.
Smaller portions take care of unnecessary waste. Those are insane portions that gramps has served up. No wonder the kid is so obese. Poor little fella.
It’s a culmination of not just lack of self control, self respect, and self awareness, it’s also how everything is encouraged by the manufactured perception driven into society as a whole. Some actually don’t have time to learn to cook but most aren’t even interested or driven to cook. As stated many times by TBYS, it takes years to learn to cook well.
From experience, it is so hard to undo awful eating and exercise habits that you’ve had since childhood. Hoping nothing but the best for the future of these children!
My parents have both been overweight my whole life and luckily for me my mother did her best to try to teach me good eating habits despite her not being able to practice them for herself. I grew up watching my parents try to lose weight and then fail and go back to their old habits over and over again. I knew at a young age I did not want to be overweight, and besides when I was pregnant, I never have been. As I started to enter my later 20s, I noticed that it was easier to put weight on and my eating habits got a bit worse, so I changed them back to what I was doing before. Then I really started taking my physical health seriously in the last year, going to the gym regularly and actually working out hard and not just casually jogging on the treadmill and calling that a workout, and I lost another 10lbs and am probably at my best weight ever. I too am a single mom and work long hours in health care and my daughter has very good eating habits. I don’t monitor what she eats because I don’t have to worry. She knows her limit and loves eating a variety of fruit and veggies, we eat lean meat or have “meatless” meals with lentils or beans as the protein. I am a pretty good cook and she has never been a picky eater, and I think that’s why! I hate the excuse of being a single mom being used for every damn problem. It does make life harder than having a partner with you to support you and your child too, but it doesn’t mean you just give up and give your child a bunch of issues.
TBYS another gold standard post. Well done as always mate from Australia 😊
The fat positivity movement definitely doesn't help the obesity epidemic
What will then
When I was a kid around these ages, when I'd spend time with my dad's family my grandmother would make me things like pasta and cheese or ramen noodles and it legitimately made my stomach hurt. Thankfully, my grandmother on my mom's side would actually cook healthy foods and I spent most of my time with them. If these kids aren't having medical issues, they will have huge ones later. It's genuinely very sad how much these parents don't care about the state of their kids.
I wont lie, due to mental problems and how my parents raised me, i was probably mentally stunted/had arrested deployment that kept me back like 10 years from where i should be.
Now, i wont deny that things happened to my parents that also affected how they raised us and they didnt know. The one saving grace is, were all now better off than where we were. Im hopefully buying my own home soon and ive had to learn how to do many basic skills on my own.
My only hope now is, that i can pass these skills onto my friends kids or others. Because we all know the system wants us to be fat, lazy, and incompetent.
No, there is no system who wants us to be fat, lazy and incompetent. It's a matter of money, always. Because so many people find convenient food far more attractive than to cook food from scratch, businesses found out that it could make them extremely rich.
Even in a natural surrounding, animals prefer an easy life to the one they were born to. Try to feed deer, foxes and other animals from the wild, let's say a whole winter : they will come to your place every day, because it's far more convenient for them than to look for food in the wild with the chance of ending up hungry.
Hello TBYS. I just wanted to thank you for bravely speaking out about politics and views that are controversial nowadays. Im an 18 year old woman from Finland, a traditional feminist and an ex-wokeist. A few years ago, when I first started seeing political discussions online, I disagreed with them mildly because I didnt think they represented true equality, and I wasnt afraid to speak my mind. But then I observed that having "wrong" opinions would get you verbally beaten, so I made myself believe the "correct" thoughts. I discovered you during the starting point of my switch back to more conservative thinking. I thought you were hateful and close-minded. But the more I've started accepting my conservatism, the more I've realised that you are actually more equal than the woke people I was a part of. You think just like I used to think before I was converted politically. And I have to admit, forcing myself to think the "right" way for so long has left me without the ability to think for myself anymore, which is sad, but I'm slowly healing. I want to thank you so much, you're doing incredible work, and I'm glad I no longer feel like its me against the world. Dont let them tear you to pieces out there, they can be cruel, but all your thousands of followers are here to stand with you.
9:01 "and look at that portion size holy crap that is a 7 year old"
Couldn't help but rewatch that part a few times lol.
It helped in my house that my son just won't eat more than he wants. Started when he was a baby, kinda forced us to have smaller portion sizes lol
I’ve learned so much useful information from this channel it’s crazy.
Very nice video. I like your way of finding solutions to the situation. Thank your for your contribution
The added entertainment value in this video is I get to hear someone say "frozen dino nuggies" in an entirely serious tone which is apparently a bucket list item I didn't know I had
It is crazy how easy it is to get people to eat veggies if you know how to season properly and cook. I had a friend in college who was adamant that he hated carrots. Well, once he tried my homemade chili he couldn't get enough of them. Taking veggies and making them palatable is really not that hard: use seasoning and spices, then cook for the proper amount of time.
I always loved veggies more than meat. I still like meat and won’t do without to keep a source of easy healthy proteins. I struggle a bit more with fruits. I disliked the struggle of munching meat until I could swallow without chocking myself. The veggies are easy to eat and can be prepared in many various ways that taste good. To me, I don’t understand why eating veggies could be that hard.
@@GuillaumePerronNantelI only like grapes for fruit but love veggies. Though if I start craving every type of fruit I know sometime in the next week I'm going to be sick.
Veggies are for RABBITS 🐇!
@@leftifornian2066we're omnivores, we need plants AND meat. Get over it.
@@leftifornian2066 Even Ron Swanson likes artichokes.
My mom is a LEGEND and used to stand over the pot waiting for the veggies to finish boiling in my soup. She would tell me to eat (or drink) her soup she worked very hard on. I used to hate it, but the more I had it and the more I realized how much my mom spent to make me happy, I started to eat it more. Although I’m still very picky, I am trying more and more things and going “hey, this isn’t that bad!” W to my mom.
picky?
come on just eat the fruits lil bro
Another way to help kids lose weight is get them into bike riding. Kids typically find it fun and will often do it on their own
This. I was a picky eater kid, never ate “healthy “, but rode my back everywhere, constantly. So I was what we called “chubby” back then and outgrew it in my teens. Chubby then would be normal now.
Bike lol!
As a kid I used to have extremly bad pseudokrupp ( genetic extrem form of asthma ) until I was 12. I used to eat homecooked meals from my grandma and was a bit chubby for german standarts. I couldn't even run for 200 metres without falling to the ground and fighting for air, to be fair I even was more then bit jealous when I saw all the other children doing it.
I was told before that my uncle used to have the same illness I had, but also how it subsided around the age of 10.
So the day I turned 10 I started running but for the next 2 years I would always struggle to even reach the end of the road without literally dying. More then ones I considered giving up, but one day everything changed I reached my goal but I felt good so I kept running, I ran for literally 40 minutes, no Joke I felt like Forest Gump that day. Looking back at it it might have been the best day of my life, besides mayby graduation. But since that day I run 2hours a day 4 days a week, started martial arts and I love the opportunity that was gifted to me.
I also lost alot of weight but I never changed my nutrition/food intake.
There is a kind of exercise for everyone, and if the kid wants to do it, then it will do it.
