Everyone is counting calories yet America is still the most obese country in the world?
My grandparents generation didn’t count calories nor did they have a 24 Hour Fitness, Gold’s Gym o LA Fitness on every corner and they weren’t as obese a generation as the generation in today’s America. As a matter of fact, they ate FAT, yes they did, can you believe it? Gasp! Oh and they ate real sugar too! Another gasp! I think it’s lifestyle, technology and convenience have enabled us a lifestyle where we barely have to lift a finger to get what we want. I would rather eat what I want, real fat, real sugar, in moderation of course with my vegetables, etc… and have an active lifestyle, than count calories all day and eat food with hardly any flavor because I sit on my rear all day working on the computer. Do you agree or disagree? I used to count calories for years and I have tried almost every low fat sugar free item created and it’s just not the same as the real thing. Granted, I’m not going to eat a tub of lard or sugar, but still.
I think most of it has to do with the stress the American lifestyle puts on people. Our country has put such a negative stigma on smoking that almost no one really does it anymore (compared to european countries i mean). Therefore, people replaced the nicotine with food. Also, it’s been shown that stress hormones will keep fat on your body. Our society is so fast paced that we take very little time to relax and smell the roses.
Also, its not our lack of exercise that it’s so wrong but mainly the types of foods most people choose to eat. Everything is processed with added preservatives and so on. I’m not going on an organic rant here but I think people would benefit a lot more from eating fresh fruits and vegetables more regularly. Counting calories isn’t the way to lose weight. Choosing the right types of foods and grains is much more productive in the long run.
