Biggest thing I've learned that was definitely taboo back in the 90s: there is such a thing as healthy fats
Seinfeld is always a good reminder of that '90s understanding. A lot of product placement of low-fat snacks that aren't good for you no matter how much fat is in them.
Yep. All the 'low fat\zero fat' craze of dieting did was produce a lot of products that replaced fat with sugar, often at no decrease in calories (or even an increase!) but because it was advertised as healthy, made people feel fine about eating more of them.
All things being equal, at least the full-fat product will generally have you feeling full longer.
I think you’ll eventually be sitting no matter which of those two options you choose.
You chose the worst picture of Waffle House ever. Also who the **** gets plain hash browns at WH?
It works well at the population level and doesn’t work at the individual level. This was its intended purpose when it was created. The problem is people try and apply it to small groups or even to individuals, not entire populations.
People who complain about BMI not being accurate are almost always fat as ****
Iowa is about average for obesity rate in the US. Mississippi is the worst. It's the same crowd on here that likes to sh!t on Iowa constantly over everything, even though it's nowhere near as bad as they would have you believe.
I am 6'2 and was obese according to the bmi chart in my doctor's office when I weighed 225. My doc laughed and told me I wasn't close to being obese. I'm 235 now, so I'm getting closer.
Yeah, there are outliers for sure, but for the average person it's not all that far off. If you're close to one tier or another maybe you're actually on the other side.
It's imperfect for sure. But if you're truly overweight, it can at least start the conversation.
I'm 5-11 170 and a hair under 24 BMI. Which is the upper end of normal range. I kind of laugh b/c I'm definitely not fat, but if I gained about 10 lbs I'd be overweight based on the chart.
Nowadays waist circumference is becoming the new measurement used as an indicator of various health risks.
Right. The other side of the coin is: When it's too ******* hot, and humid as hell you tend to do absolutely nothing strenuous.They've actually found a link between cold weather and weight loss
You Asked: Is Being Cold Good for You?
It burns calories. But chilling out carries some risks as well.time.com
If it was only warmer weather that made you lose weight, the South wouldn't be the diabeetus belt
When I go there I always ask for their grilled sourdough bread/toast. Add the strawberry jam and it's a dessert unto itself.
The trends in education and health are a little worrisome to me, but IA still tends to do fine in other metrics.
It's not in the upper tier, but it holds its own. The quality of life here is still fairly good all things considered.
MS and the other deep South states are consistently bottom 5 in almost all facets. The worst places in Iowa don't hold a candle to some of these places in rural MS/AL/WV.
Yeah, when I was in college and lifted every day, I was 185 at 5 11. Was considered overweight and had single digit body fat and wore 31” dress pants let out in the thighs and legs. Suit stores couldn’t sell me off the rack, had to individually order things and even tailor those, but hey I was overweight in the BMI charts.
