Is it? I'm 35 and weight the same as I did in high school. Like I said in another post, I didn't run for 5 months due to injury and didn't gain any weight. I don't diet. Never have.

Because Westerners tend to eat more calories than they burn off habitually over time. Typically because they can't deal with the emotions and feelings they experience of being hungry while dieting to lose weight or not being able to use food as a means to avoid challenging emotions. They also tend to be very insecure about their weight issues and will angrily lash out at perceived criticisms, real or imagined.

If they knew they'd eventually get used to eating less and habituate/transmute their challenging emotions by allowing themselves to feel them, they might have more luck maintaining a reasonable weight while eating a reasonable diet.

Anti-grain discourse is a cope by Americans to justify the sheer amount of low-grade meat they consume on a daily basis because they would rather be r*tards than admit they were wrong. People will reply to this comment twisting themselves into pretzels trying to explain how eating a ridiculous amount of meats loaded with fats, nitrites, sodium, and more protein than any athlete would reasonably need somehow makes you healthy even though every single blue zone is dominated by plant-based diets.

And in Japan, at least, low-intensity physical activity is built into people's daily lives. The cities and towns are structured so that nearly all daily necessities -- and train stations -- are within walking or biking distance of most people's homes.

Nearly every day, young Japanese mothers fly by me on electric-assist bikes with 2 small kids and groceries on board.

Americans, by contrast, are wholly dependent on the automobile.

And although Japanese do like their sweets, those sweets aren't nearly as laden with sugar as the sweets that Americans eat. I much prefer Japanese chocolate to the sickeningly sweet crap available in the U.S.

People pick things they don't like an blame them for whatever the problem may be.

Ultraprocessed food makes up most of the western diet, as opposed to simple grains, vegetables and meats in many asian cuisines. Our food is developed in labs with the primary purpose of generating profit for food companies. They do this by creating addiction, by making food tastier, saltier and sweeter, using artificial ingredients.

This is more likely than "americans just stuff themsleves". There are morbidly obese kids that are 8 that literally dont know where their next meal is coming from. Genetics and indeed our western food choices throwing off our metabolism are most likely. It's lazy to just say fat people eat too much.

The average Westerner probably eats the same amount of noodles and rice (or potatoes) as an average Asian person but then tops up with 2 donuts, 4 beers, 3 Cokes and half a black forest gateaux per day. That'll be why they're fatter

Congratulations, apparently it’s our microbiome that’s the secret to our innate aversion to weight gain.

Everybody else needs to eat our shîte, or literally stuff our shîte up their asses to be more precise, in order to get our biome.
