OT – F as in Fat

[scaredyclassic]

i probably mentioned this on the other fat thread but fasting–going without food–just water–for a long time is a deeply changing experience. i believe obesity could be cured if we had more fasting clinics where people went and didn’ t eat anything for 30 days. food looks different after a week or so of not eating.

I fast about once a month… skip dinner and eat very little during the day — just fruit and water.

Fasting helps you live a long time because longevity enzymes get activated.

However, it’s not realistic for most people because food addiction is strong. Put a tray of brownies or a steak in front of most people and will-power is easily overcome.

I find that keeping weight down and is quite easy if you build the determination to only eat food that is “worth you”.

I have a bet with a friend who’s now 250#. His college weight was 180#. He claims that he can do it…. but rather than losing weight, he’s increasing little by little every year. Right now, he has back pain and difficulting bending down. In 5 to 10 years, he’ll be 300#, paralyzed and unable to move, like the rest of America.

IMO, obesity is a national security issue. We need to fight it harder than we fight terrorism.

except it is easier to fight terrorism, because at least the enemy is foreign and recognizable.

the enemy in regard to obesity is us. it is the massive food and service industry. it is cultural, it is personal attitude.

the first lady has pushed for better and healthier selections of food at walmart, pushed for family gardens, pushed for exercise and weight loss. sounds nice, right? nope, she is a Food Nazi.

I am extremely pessimistic when it comes to our obesity crisis. I firmly believe the giant food industry has really learned well from the tobacco lobby and big pharma. They are truly in bed with the politicians and they will fly the flag of civil liberties whenever their interests are at risk. Best of all, they have cultivated a perfect scenario where they are able to sell absolute trash that gets people hooked and fat, yet be able to completely place the blame on the end consumer’s own gluttony.

Seriously, if you talk to any obese person, does a single obese person recognize half of the problem is the manipulative and powerful food industry? Nope. There is a lot of shame and self-loathing when you peel away the layers of defensiveness and avoidance. This overwhelming guilt that everything is their fault actually perpetuate the feeling of utter hopelessness in regard to their weight, which means a spiral into more severe obesity.
