Why are most people fat in the US? Any ideas?

the type of carb is important, too. High fiber foods tend to be particularly beneficial. Whole grains, leafy vegetables, fruit and vegetables in general. Helps with weight loss and a healthy gut biome and fending off disease.

Yep.

CONSPIRACY, CONSPIRACY, CONSPIRACY!!!!!

THESE "SCIENTISTS" HAVE BEEN BOUGHT BY THE BIG GRAIN AND THE BIG FRUIT AND BIG LEGUME INDUSTRIO-COMPLEXES. THESE PEOPLE **WANT....YOU...TO...BE...SICK!*** THAT WAY THEY CAN GET MORE $ FROM YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE.

DIDN'T YOU SEE THAT BEAUTIFUL GIRL THAT EATS ONLY MEAT?? *THAT* IS TRUTH. IT'S ON THE INTERNET, LOOK IT UP. BUT YOUR LINK??? ABOUT A STUDY FROM SOME FANCY "SCIENCE" JOURNAL???? MY GOD YOU ARE NAIVE.

THE ELITES LIE TO YOU. EVERYTHING ANY "EXPERT" HAS EVER TOLD YOU ABOUT NUTRITION IS A LIE. EVERY.....LAST.....THING.

NEVER EAT A CARB AGAIN, AND THANK ME WHEN YOU ARE 145 YEARS OLD AND LOOK LIKE YOU ARE 20. IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

"YOUR" WELCOME.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. I'm enjoying the bro-science on this thread. And sometimes bro-science gets it right.

Do I need to detox or fast? To get rid of the plastics in my fat that are making me consider the mansier?

Firstly should say obviously the ins are more than the outs...but also...

Trying harder here by simplifying - so basically things are water or fat soluble - the old oil water separation thing. That's why cocaine is only testable in drug test for a day (more water soluble) but weed (fat soluble) can be detected for weeks. So the idea is this - toxins - in our environment which aren't discussed but are there in increasingly present amounts are sometimes, and often many times lipid or fat soluble, or at least the ones that build up in ur bodies are. They go in the fat - like your weed. Not like your cocaine. Those things stay in your body much longer (in the fat).

So because you have a bunch of solubilized junk in your fat cells your body tends to hold onto it more. Hence PART of obesity or so one could surmise. Also environmental toxins would also explain our current disease epidemics, # 1 cause of death now Cancer. Autism epidemic, Alzheimers epidemic, autoimmune diseases. Previous 100 years all diseases or most had a pathogen that caused them i.e. a virus or bacteria.

Here's some studies:

There's a lot of good netflix documentaries on chemicals too but sometimes they're over dramatized.

Another thing too we had to do in college chemistry classes before every lab was look up the "Material Data Safety Sheets" or MSDS sheets. You can look in your cleaning products etc for MSDS and google _____ fill in the blank with whatever chemical. Gives safety profile for lab use.

Luckily sweating via running! Can solubilize many of these fat soluble toxins and you lose them in your sweat, as Salts are able to solubilize fat soluble molecules and carry them through aqueous (water) environments. This is how your gall bladders bile salts help you digest your cheese curds, the salts solubilize the fats.

Here you go- all peer reviewed - I could go on much longer - this isn't on your nighty news drug ads.

Oh and if you read these BPA is in plastics, phthalates are the break down products of plastic or plastic dust.

Not a complete conspiracy theorist, I still think you need to eat more than you burn to get fat...But I think there are other factors that could affect the processes of your ins and outs and maybe your metabolism.

And most the studies are on the easy targets the things we know a lot about, the leads, the mercury's, the bpa's, pthalates, fire retardants etc. There's lots of chemicals that we really don't know much at all about. Most doctors I know personally, eat really clean, don't use a lot of unnecessary chemical products.

Keep it up with the alternative bullschniz comments - it's only alternative b/c there is no microphone to propagate reality - go ahead and spray your Lysol on your Cheetos, lick the Armourall off your steering wheel, and wash it down with some phenylalanine flavored fizzy water.

It’s not just the terrible eating habits, but also the sedentary lifestyle most people lead. Suburban sprawl is to blame. In many countries (though obviously not all), cities are made for people, not for cars. There’s an abundance of sidewalks, cycling lanes, and pedestrianised city centers. Even if they take public transport, people still have to walk a bit.
