My two cents, it's not healthy to be morbidly obese. It's also not healthy to dislike yourself because of your body composition or looks or whatever and it's just arrogant to dislike or defame somebody because you don't like theirs. I personally very much dislike the "body positivity movement". I think it's another crutch hindering us from holding ourselves accountable. I think it's harmful to future generations to uphold unhealthy degenerative standards. I think it's a shame however when beauty becomes synonymous with health. There's no argument that carrying an abundance of fatty tissue is unhealthy but that doesn't mean you aren't attractive or shouldn't find yourself beautiful, it's too different conversations. Love yourself, find yourself beautiful, but don't confuse the issue with "I think I'm sexy so this is healthy" as some seem to do.
Guys, if you don't like veggies it's because you're too lazy to cook them up properly. I guarantee that if you took 15 mins to cook up a good veggie stir fry that you'd think it tastes amazing.
I love you guy, but you are missing it IMHO. Lizzo is saying I eat right and exercise and this is how I look ,so it is what it is. This is normal for me. And I’m not looking to do anything extreme! Like gain weight or lose weight per se, I’m just gonna be me and me is what you see. What she’s missing is she likely doesn’t eat healthy, or at least, as healthy as she thinks, and probably barely exercises. She thinks she’s killing a bear in her workouts when she’s doing something most healthy 90 year olds could do.
Did your hair come back after stopping all the heavy roids? Sorry if you answered it already but I can’t go back and watch 1000 vids for a answer lol thanks
@Nsima et al- you should not have goouch pain or numbness on any bike. I have always fitted the bike so that the seat wings are on my “sits” bones (Ischial plates), that I am not reaching at the bottom of the stroke, and that my knee when at the top of the stroke is over my pedal.
For me personally, I don’t like body positivity because I know that for me, I’ll find any excuse to not put in the work and I think that’s true for a lot of people. Now I don’t think it’s OK to go around and be a jerk to everybody who is fat but I think some people need that negativity to move forward, whereas others may not. I got bullied as a kid for being fat and I think that was necessary for me because I realized that being fat is not a good thing. I think what Lizzo says can be detrimental to people because she really does portray it as if being fat is a good thing. At the same time, if people are being negative and mean to you and you are taking it offensively and not just brushing it off to the side then I think deep down you know you can do better and you’re just making excuses. I won’t be mean to someone who is actively trying to be better but if you’re morbidly obese and continuing to eat garbage and not exercise at all then I think you probably need the negativity.
Just know it's gonna be a banger when Nsima starts off with a completely unintended joke lol. I think the Lizzo thing is super interesting and kind of reminds me of the 'Natty or not's', in my opinion. If someone would completely avoid the topic/discussion, and not keep blasting it on billboards everywhere, no one would give a shit. If she didn't try to throw her weight and 'body positivity' in everyone's face, I don't think she would get NEARLY the amount of hate. Similar to if Liverking didn't completely BASH people who were on steroids saying they were 'subprimal' and how they were cop-outs or whatever, it wouldn't have been AS big of a deal when it came out that he was on a ton of gear. I'm not saying that there wouldn't be people who would say nasty things and hate on them still, but it definitely would be less. Open to different ideas/thoughts on this though for sure!
just for reference before i started really getting into this fitness thing, i thought that i eat not clean but within my calories, i eat one main meal a day and a pudding or sweet snack but i never thought about what i was eating as i thought only eating once a day could be no where near my required calorie target. but as i got older i could see that i was slowly putting weight on. Now i track i understand that i was probably over shooting my calorie intake on most days with poor food choices, which is much easier for me to do as i like to feel full with good portions but was eating processed shitty foods too, loved pizza and wings day, loved lasagne, loved buttermilk chicken strips with bbq beans 🤤. i can still eat these but as treats like once every 1-2 wks. now iv seen portion size ,i see that even a small snack of the wrong food can fk me over but good food choices means i can still stuff myself and meet my targets
One thing that helped me this year is putting the lifting on the back burner for a while until I got used to operating on fewer calories. It really helped in the beginning of the diet not being worn out and hungry from training. I then started ramping up the activity. Easiest time losing weight I've had in years.
Bang on man! I took a good 6 months away from the gym and concentrated on nutrition and lost 50lbs in that period without starving myself. I focussed on quality over quantity and trusted my body regulate my calorie intake. When i train it raises hunger for sure and when you really smash it you are more likely to go on a binge session!
I've been super fat without tremendous muscle underneath, and ultimately these ultra morbidly obese people need to fast for at least 24 hours, then have meals of what they like to eat, but the fast should empower them enough to eat less of it. Generally, you can maintain that massive drop in appetite for at least a few days if not much longer, but whenever the inability to control the desire occurs, you do a *true fast* again for 24 hours. *I tried to work my way around it every way possible for years now, and it's just the only thing that genuinely worked and reliably no matter what.* That's what I'm doing now with a focus on athleticism again, and it's working whereas most other methods were the wrong recipe for what jump starts my body.
I just saw the Golden Girls mug 😅 That's hilarious. Love your channel. First thing I listen to in the a.m. during my workout.
Losing fat > losing weight

Yep, and add some good spices (e.g curry powder) or Siracha (which is low in calorie) 🤤

You can “eat clean” and still over eat. I know so many people who followed a keto diet and actually gained weight.

W Thumbnail!
Muscle is not really built in the gym, but more in the kitchen. :) Gym only provides a stimulus, a necessary component in the muscle synthesis

Only positively I want to hear it my progress or on my efforts done, as a fat.

@@grahammuir-ext840150lbs is very impressive. Well done.
