For a long time I was making fun of Americans for their obesity pandemic. Although that makes me a hypocrite since other countries like Mexico and Greece also have an obesity pandemic even if it's for different reasons.

In Mexico it's because many Mexicans eat and drink nothing but potato chips and Coca Cola.

In Greece I finally realized why so many Greeks (and especially men) are fat as hell even if they don't eat much: because they drink alcohol all day, especially wine. Which is why their bodies are slim slim but their belly is so huge that they look like pregnant women. Even my sister despite the body exercise she does because of her job she also has huge belly because she drink beer, wine and Coca Cola all day.

Meanwhile I ve recenly lost even more weight that now all my shorts fall down if i dont wear belt or tight them with the lace they have. And i m not doing strict diet and i still eat sweets and in rare cases junk food. I just have an even better diet now. For example for dinner snack i have fruits instead of toast or sandwich.

Oh, these things. Yeah, it's all about balanced diet. Also it helps a lot that I don't drink alcohol and sugarish drinks. Not even the super market "fresh juices" that are anything but healhty. The only stuff I drink are water, my morning frape coffee and in some cases home made fresh lemonade and orange juice.

I guess it also helps when you eat home made sweets instead of premade stuff. And with fast food like pizza I mostly eat home made one with no meat stuff (and no, I don't eat vegan crap).

And it's not so hard. It's a matter of habit.

empty calories are food sources/beverages that contain 0 or near 0 nutritional value. As in you'd be better off not eating it at all.
It has a lot of calories but no nutritional value.

true
it's crazy how much of a difference the sodas/juice make on their own, so much sugar
>>23092743
you'd fare better against cancer if you went into it healthy & with healthy habits, but yeah i get oyur point
just risk/reward i guess, but i think feeling healthy constantly is a form of pleasure, you know?
like if you eat poorly, maybe you'll have joint pain and get tired/irritable easily, for example

I think many American aren't fat I think it's your perception of fat but maybe if you took a look at yourself it's show how fat you really were
