/fit/, how do we eliminate the obesity problem?
If you had proper authority, how would you go about eliminating obesity and how would you handle childhood obesity?

Lots of public works projects.

Increase taxes on rich, fast food and soda purchases, obviously. Use money for tangible stuff like:

More parks in low income areas, possibly including durable, free cardio equipment like stationary cycles and elipticals.

Try to affect culture in such a way that desiring self improvement is seen as highly admirable, maybe through media manipulation jew tactics.

End food deserts in my country, institute community gardens in areas that were formerly food deserts to encourage a lifelong love of fresh veggies. Federally supported green grocers selling low cost fruit and vegetables all over the place, especially in former food deserts.

EBT can now get you the most calories per dollar at a green grocer, you cannot buy unhealthy garbage with EBT

Federally funded weight loss programs- like community health workers that go from community center to community center teaching spinning classes, cardio classes, taking people on jogs, answering questions about nutrition. Find a way to make these classes seem like a sort of civic duty, or a way to meet cool new people with similar interests.

Mandatory physical education in public schools, more structured than "just having fun," teach valuable skills like planning workouts, reaching target heart rates, putting together healthy meals.

and then a lot of analysts to figure out what strategies work and what don't, try to improve the programs and lower their costs while maximizing benefits until everyone in my land is as healthy as possible or until the sun explodes.

Thats just because there are a lot of fat people. Just because its on the low end doesn't mean that 1 in 5 medical workers aren't obese.

Hell Nurses might even be more fat than listed because Physicians, Dentists, EMTs and Nurses is a pretty huge pool of subjects to take an average from.

As for the actual question, there just needs to be a cultural shift. We're too inattentive to buy adult food, were too sensitive to properly ostracize the obese, and too complacent to learn proper, healthy habits.

>>37865009

first we need to be better at measuring it. willing to wager nearly every single dude who has been lifting for a year would be labeled 'obese' based on BMI (which is what these faggoty statistics are using) regardless of body fat %.

we all know an obese person when we see them, but how do you quantify that? bmi works for women and bernie supporters, but for anyone who has done a bit of physical activity it's useless.

That's pretty much the only thing BMI is actually good for, dude. Yeah, BMI is gonna say you're overweight if you've got any noticeable amount of muscle on you, but the vast majority of people don't. It's not about you, it's about the population. Most of the population in the overweight+ categories of BMI are actually fat. It makes sense to base policies off of that. The problem is using BMI to judge individuals. That's when it breaks down.

Remove federal corn subsidies. The reason junk food is so cheap is because the price of corn is pushed artificially low. Removing the subsidy would force the food industry get rid of half that shit. It would also give the farmers the incentive to grow healthier fruits and veggies on their land instead which will lower prices on produce and help remove food deserts.

Raise the gasoline tax by several dollars and plow the money into public transit, bike lanes, and urban renovations to make society more walkable.

Japan, until last year, had the metabo law. Basically people got their waist measured and if it was over the government mandated limit their city and employers got fined.

This is simple. I would force everybody to lift. If people who are "obese" now still ate copious amounts of food but lifted while doing so, at the worst they would be 25-26% bodyfat monsters with tons of muscle and strength they could use to easily lose fat at any time now that their TDEE is 3500 calories

>>37866718

I've heard that a lot of (especially part time) firefighters tend to get real fat real quick because it's easy to slip into bad habits. It's not like a normal 9-5 job, you have to go to the firehouse on call for like 3 days at a time, whenever you're needed. If you get into bad habits of eating shit food and being sedentiary the whole time like playing video games it's super easy to become obese. Plus the fact that firefighters lift heavy shit and tend to get chronic pain from that, that causes them to exercises less and a high stress job which leads people to eat more. Just easy to get fat if you aren't ontop of it all the time.

Man, I feel bad for you guys that had shitty gym classes growing up. I didn't get a taste of poor PE until I moved to a school with very shitty funding. At my first school we did everything. Archery, weight lifting, football, soccer, basketball, tennis, kickball, softball, volleyball, lacrosse. You name it, we did it. Co-ed, too, and the girls actually tried because they wanted to impress the boys.

Then I moved to a normal school. Stretching, some sit ups and pushups and basketball was pretty much all we did. Sex segregated, too. It sucked. No one had any motivation and mostly just walked in circles around the gym.

My boyfriend has diabetes (type 1, so calm your tits, everyone), and I went with him to an appointment one day because he was late to picking me up from the gym and didn't have time to drop me off at home. All the nurses and assistants, the front desk ladies and the janitors were all massive. I mean, I thought I was fat, but God Damn. I was about to tell him he needs to find a new clinic when the doctor and a medical student came in. I heaved a huge sigh of relief, as they were both slender and the doctor even seemed to have a little bit of muscle.

I couldn't believe how many fat people were working in a clinic geared toward the care of those with diabetes. Work close to your source of insulin, I guess.

>>37866098
I agree with the first paragraph, for the most part. I am, unfortunately, a bleeding heart liberal, and do take some issue with just forcing things. That said, these shit companies need their lobbying power taken away so we can get their shit food pyramids out of our schools. I say increase food stamp funding, but limit what people can buy. No junk, no soda, not even sugary juices.

As for the second part, I agree that we need more room to walk and run and bike, but fucking with the price of gas that much would put a lot of people out of jobs.

i mean i've tried simply for experiences sake most diets at one point for a new perspective/take.

low carb/no carb/high fat/IF/carb cycling.

i never went fully veg/vegan w/e but I did go on a very high vegetable diet for awhile, which featured some fish/chicken as protein.

and I've also been extremely busy at work before and eaten nothing but vending machine food for days.

ultimately, there is very minor differences between all of them re:fat loss. calories was ALWAYS the best predictor not macro composition.

low carb/nocarb is by far the most miserable though, without a doubt.

I don't think you understand what I'm saying. A "vegan" diet is very similar to mainstream diet advice and is accepted as being healthy. A keto diet is practically the opposite. You could hate both equally for other reasons but it makes no sense to say they're both equally delusional as diets.

yes VERY different.

>Deleted the wrong fucking post

>>37868713

I knew someone would say something like this after I re-read what I had wrote. Anyway.

Eat all the carbs you want. I'm not some retarded keto shill; but I'm also not going to pretend it isn't easier to eat 500 calories of pastry or pasta than it is 500 calories of turkey or what-the-fuck-ever-else.

You're not going to convince people to go out and eat a bunch of kale and broccoli. People chew on carrots or load up on potatoes and wonder why they aren't making any progress.

Again, it's education. Explain how carbs work. If you're about to go hiking or some shit, eat all the spaghetti you want. If you're about to go to sleep, maybe don't.

>>37868776

Like I said, the difference is the vegan diet is in line with what any nutrition expert would tell you to eat. "We cure cancer and prevent CVD" are somewhat supportable claims.

>>37868840

My, aren't we emotional today.

Are you talking about sugars? I think by this point, we, that is, our society has largely recognized the "dangers of sugars". There are still a lot of problems like people not understanding that fruit juice isn't a whole lot better than pop; but that's again, something that can be cured by education. Teach people to read the labels, that sugars hide in basically everything. Do the same for salt while you're at it.

I pick on pasta a lot because in my anecdotal experience, a lot of people will refuse a can of pop because it's a pile of refined sugar and empty carbs, but have no problem eating a plate of alfredo. There's an ignorance to what foods are comprised of, overall. I never meant to imply that we only educate on one very narrow aspect of nutrition.

>>
>>37868897

you're selectively removing words from what I wrote verbatim, and adding in your own words to make your argument easier to make.

then you're attempting to find equivalence in a balanced diet e.g. the Mediterranean diet which features protein/carbs/fats when originally we were talking about hardline diets such as veganism and keto which are intrinsically unbalanced.

your only point is that veganism is more in line with traditional diet advice

technically, keto is actually recommended by the AMA while veganism is not .. so technically keto is more in line with traditional medical advice than veganism.

ultimately you've disregarded my points and tried to inject your own.

I'm honestly not trying to change your point, I just don't understand what your point is if it's not to say that vegans and ketos both make health claims about their diet and that this makes them equally delusional in your eyes.

>then you're attempting to find equivalence in a balanced diet e.g. the Mediterranean diet which features protein/carbs/fats when originally we were talking about hardline diets such as veganism and keto which are intrinsically unbalanced.

I don't understand this point either. Vegan diets don't contain protein, fat, and carbs? We already agreed that they're similar to traditional diet advice, and since they are I don't see how you could say it's equally as delusional as keto.

>technically, keto is actually recommended by the AMA while veganism is not .. so technically keto is more in line with traditional medical advice than veganism.

Source on that? The American Dietetic Association has put out a statement saying vegan diets are healthy and have health benefits but I've never heard of anything like that for keto diets.

It's the fault of the Allies. Their politics allow all kind of lobbyists. The Axis should have won.

You can't make other people get thin.

Best you can do is fix yourself.

Once you've done that, encourage it in the people you care about.

And hope it spreads.

The momentary pleasure of eating like shit overrides the long term pleasure of feeling better because they don't know, or remember/appreciate, what its like to be fit. Getting fat doesn't happen overnight, and neither does losing it.

No longer replying after this post, this is getting tedious as fuck as you're not making any progress so it's not worth the time.

The issue with removing an entire food group that earns VEGANISM and KETO the title "delusional" from my initial point.

You reply: >>37868429

Note, we're already seeing you deviate from my point.

I reply: >>37868565

I bring you back on to my point and argument. At this point, my stance is very clear & obvious.

De-rails into semantics where you think vegan = vegetables, will skip this.

You post: >>37868745

Vegan is close to mainstream diet advice so they're different.

I reply: >>37868776

It doesn't matter, both diets refuse to eat any entire food group, both have absurd health claims, both are as bad/delusional as each other.

Cue this back and forth ad nauseum.

> I'm honestly not trying to change your point, I just don't understand what your point is if it's not to say that vegans and ketos both make health claims about their diet and that this makes them equally delusional in your eyes.

You don't understand my point because you're not reading my point, and you've failed to address my points even once. Again, you're just steamrolling your singular point over and over despite me trying to refocus you.

> Source on that? The American Dietetic Association has put out a statement saying vegan diets are healthy and have health benefits but I've never heard of anything like that for keto diets.

Ketogenic diet is prescribed for: epilepsy, diabetes (pre and intra), and weight loss.

Note: PRESCRIBED, not recommended, prescribed.

Additionally, your study is not on vegan diets.

Goodbye.

That makes no sense though. Why not even attempt to quantify it and judge it by what exactly is being removed and retained? Candy/sweets are a food group too but I don't think you'd say you'd be delusional to not include that food group in your diet. As I said, the vegan diet is still basically the core diet you'd be recommended by any nutritionist. A keto diet is a bunch of foods you'd be told to not eat and excludes most things you'd be told to eat more of.

>Ketogenic diet is prescribed for: epilepsy, diabetes (pre and intra), and weight loss.

So then not recommended by the AMA. Maybe you're mistaking the opinion of the American Medical Association with a 3rd party study published in their journal, with no relation to the AMA themselves.

>Additionally, your study is not on vegan diets.

It's not a study, it's a position statement by the ADA that reviews data, and is about, in part, vegan diets.

These two faggots arguing about veganism ruined this thread.

Good job queers
