i have high blood pressure and the other factors are fine. at age 57 i walk 3 miles daily in under and hour, wearing a weight vest and my heart rate does not leave zone 1. also i have had 2 calcium scans (10 years apart) both results scored 0 plaque. i carry too much fat but my frame is bizarre for my height. at 5’11” the BMI chart says I should weigh a number I have never weighed! (no more than 174) let me give a striking example. at the height of my conditioning (age 18 running 5 miles and working out)….i was NOT qualified to join the Army because my documented weight was 220lbs at 5’11” a pinch test resolved it and i was able to serve my country. at 220lbs i was able to get the max score on the Army physical fitness test. my MINIMUM weight is 220, which is the start of the red zone at 5’11” my waist size at its smallest is 38-39 inches….not like my stepson…who has a slender body type and his waist is 32” lastly, i feel we need to stay brutally honest with ourselves if we are carrying too much fat. last summer i lost 80+ lbs by not eating...that is all I did, no exercise mania, i was hungry all day, every day, but i just kept saying "no" for as long as I could (8 months). i still had BP issues but required a lower dose. the lowest my weight got was 235. for me brutal honesty just means getting real with the situation: my weight may be genetic but i know that if i reduce food intake I will lose weight. it isnt a fate problem, or slow metabolism...or a goofy thyroid (i have hashimotos and lost 80 pounds). it is too much food going into my face that increases my weight. this kind of honesty may not work for everyone...but i love it.
I would love to hear this man's insight into lipedema. Not to be confused with lymphedema. My wife was recently diagnosed with lipedema and that insight has been a game changer in understanding the problems that she's had with weight. Healthy eating and working out 5 days a week never gave her the expected results, and it was never well understood why. Until recently.
It really is a hard condition. I have had it since age 11 and am 61 now. It has been very limiting for me, both physically and psychologically, and I can't get any doctor to take it seriously. It sounds like you are being supportive of her, and that must make a big difference in your wife's frame of mind about the situation.
What is a disease anyway? I do believe people are pre disposed to being fat and they do need another way to handle their weight. It’s not as simple as just eat less conditions like pcos and diabetes can affect weight gain along with medications and gut microbiome. I do think some people are just greedy as well. I mean if a 4 year old is obese what do you do ?
I have been both lean and fat many times. I watch people who are fat they eat carbs and fat. The average fat person eats more than the average skinny person of the same height, etc. More of my fat friends are dead than my other friends.
Yaaap; it’s very TRUE!!! I work from home Now but that doesn’t mean I am snacking All Day long b’coz my fridge is right there ; if I am not hungry , I ain’t eating !!! Lean protein & plenty of Vegetables 🥦 & fruit 🍉 has been my diet for many years. Having worked in a hospital before on A cardiac unit hanging drips on folks with Active Chest Pains; I wouldn’t wish that on my worst Enemy!!! It’s excruciating painful to see all the folks battling heart Disease & Obesity!!! We have to mentally push ourselves to exercise, eat healthier, & just cab Fast Food, Sodas & Sugars . Prevention is Better than Cure💯💯!!!
Not ALWAYS a choice , leaves room classifying it both ways. The real distinction ,as our medical knowledge increases, is between what we can DO about a disease that could be inherited . Technically today we can increase or decreases the effects of a disease by prevention and preemption . The real problem then boils down to the inequality of the capacities of prevention and redress.. this is why for some , many cancers are controllable and for others malaria can still br a fatal disease. The progress of knowledge is indeed independent of social inequality. But to reduce the decision making with regards to it as an individual choice is silly.
You can not go by the bmi chart, you have to figure muscle mass which weighs more than fat, im 5'2", when i got down to 124 lbs people thought i was dying of cancer
Remember when they told you the price increase on everything was temporary because of "supply chain issues" well what’s the problem now as greed comes to my mind.
they also do not regulate the quality of food greedy distributions sell for inflated prices on grocery shelves, I believe you will find chapters 1,2, & 3 about America's food quality, and Obesity very insightful www.youtube.com/@leisureassisttech .

My WISH for our country 🇺🇸; is for All of us to take the initiative to grow our own Vegetables in the Spring/Summer times depending on what part of the country we live in .

I have been on the leaner side of the register, and have been criticized because of this, I have been a chef for 43 years, don't trust a skinny chef I would comment you claim a fat gene I claim a skinny gene but I find it hard to believe the fat gene is winning
Thumbnail looks good, Sanjay. I still see that kid I once knew in your face. Made me smile when I was scrolling through. Thought I should probably scroll back and at least say hi. Chasing life. Beautiful Mission Sanjay. I already hit 56. You can't be too far behind. Who would have thunk it. Damn how time flies. Give your wife a big Darling hug for me. The last time I think I saw you both in person was the day you gave that vala victorian speech. Love you brother keep kicking ass. If you run across Bret Bar anywhere, punch him in the shoulder for me. If he looks at you funny, just tell him that was from me. Proud of you both. ✌️ Peace 🤟 I love you 🖖 Live long and prosper.
Food is like thoughts we fill ourselves up with it. And suddenly we're overwhelmed with stagnation and, giveupism. Especially when we feel unheard and unappreciated in life and our individual choices.🤔🫣👽👽☠️🙏🙏🙏

I’m glad that the medical world is finally coming to understand that obesity is not just a lack or will power
They want you to think that it's a disease so they can sell you the "cure"
100% curable

Just Reality

germane observation
My mother used to say the best weight loss exercise is push away from the the dinner table. 😅
Its a lifestyle result
This was really an interesting discussion. I'm so pleased to have taken the time to listen. Thank you to both host and guest.. very informative 😊
This was an incredibly thought provoking conversation. Absolutely changed my perspective on a lot of things!

Always a chce
All cap. It's not a disease. Put the fork down. You just want someone to tell you it's ok. It's not.
100% agreed!

You are what you eat
It’s a choice.
reitired emt my 400 lb aunt passed away of nursing home fat discrimination im tired of that happening in ever nurseinghome
Sometimes our food hears us better than our friends and family. 🤔😪😪👽👽☠️🙏🙏🙏
Is CNN really news? No, it is not.
They are a marketing leg for big pharma. Why do they want you to think obesity is a disease? Because then they can sell you the "cure'.
Cable NEWS Network...its NEWS. Please say hi to Putin comrade.
@reubenherrera9827 CNN is Very Fake News actually. It's been fact checked and it's official. Please say hi to George Soros, Soyboy.
Inflammation can lead to disease and cancer. Mentioning because it's starting to be talked about more but not enough
When i looked my best at 135 to 140, the charts said i was morbidly obese , i dont know what im called now 😂

Sounds nice however the vast majority of people do not have that ability. The majority of people live in a rental property in America.
I have been on the leaner side of the register, and have been criticized because of this, I have been a chef for 43 years, don't trust a skinny chef
I would comment you claim a fat gene I claim a skinny gene
but I find it hard to believe the fat gene is winning

The president when he talked about bloodbaths and animals just read the words he had to say on his way to the presidency
Thumbnail looks good, Sanjay.
