>>7945484
I'd definitely say single meals that contain 1000-2000 calories in a single portion meal (see: Applebees, cheesecake factory) are definitely bad for you

>>7945515
It's all about exercise.
I'm hitting 4000 calories a day currently, lots of crossfit and lifting.
Just get some hard PT into your day and you can pretty much eat what you want.

>>7945476
Agreed, we need to phase out socialized medicine.

>>7945528
Well yeah, of course. But does that describe the physical activity of the average person? That's what I am talking about.

>>7945476
No. No one is forcing citizens to eat there. They could learn to cook instead.

>>7945534

What "average person"? A blue-collar worker who buts butt all day? It's no problem at all. Some fatass sitting behind a keyboard? Different story.

>>7945531
2nding this. Perhaps if people were held responsible for their own dietary choices then we'd have less obesity in the world.

>>7945534
True but if more people did just a little bit more exercise society would be healthier and calorie excess wouldn't be such a problem.

this. I had to eat 4000+ a day just to maintain when I was working 60+ a week in the shop.

>>7945515
Disagree. Someone in a reasonable pattern of eating can eat a 1000-2000 calorie meal every now and then, and it will be unlikely to wreck their health.

The problem is not that places sell this kind of food. The problem is that people assume eating it on a regular basis is normal, they wonder why they're fat. But they don't really see themselves as fat, because they look at their peers and most of them are fat, too. So that becomes their baseline for normal.

It's not the restaurants' fault, but stupid people and stupid agricultural policies that makes it cheap to buy fattening food. In a world where you can get a pizza for $5 there isn't much incentive to buy food and cook it yourself if you don't know any better.

The thing with excess calorie intake is that it sneaks up on you over time. You don't really need to eat crazily excessive food to get fat, you just have to eat more calories than you burn on a regular basis. One year you're up a couple pounds, you hardly notice. The next year a few more, but so what. The next year you're a size up on your pants, but you needed to get some new pants anyways. A decade later you turn around and you're obese.

>>7945601
This. I think a lot of people here also underestimate just how many people regularly eat out. "every once in a while" doesn't realistically describe it.

>eliminate fat from your diet
horrible advice, enjoy your decreased brain and immune function. if you're eating vegetables without some olive oil, you're doing it wrong.

>>7945612
I got fat by enjoying rich food too often while not really doing much in the way of exercise. And once you're fat that weight fights to maintain itself. A fat person eating a reasonable calorie intake will be hangry, because maintaining their stasis requires more calories than a skinny person with the same level of physical activity.

It took me years to get trim again. Now that I am I can't eat the kinds of meals I used to - I feel stuffed, bloated and disgusting when I do, because maintaining my current state requires much fewer calories than when I was fat, even though I exercise now. Exercise is good and you should fucking do it. But be realistic: unless you're training at the level of an athlete your workout is really only going to burn a few hundred calories - maybe the sandwich you had for lunch if you're lucky. Really losing weight is mostly about not eating too much, and when it comes to most restaurant food hitting that line of too much happens long before you've finished your meal.

>>7945675
I wasn't eating much sugar. And a lowering your fat intake only makes sense if it's excessive. Really in my case it was a matter of simply having an unrealistic concept of portion size, particularly when it came to high fat foods, and it caught up with me over the years.You need fat in your diet. What you don't need is almost every meal to contain almost a day's worth of the stuff.

I got no problems maintaining my weight because I don't eat fat. I can eat until I'm stuffed. There's a little fat in everything, so I'm getting enough of it.

what?

>>7945772

He's saying that he doesn't go out of his way to make sure there is fat in his diet, nor does he eat "fatty foods", because all foods contain sufficient fat to maintain health.

>>7945806
>all foods contain sufficient fat to maintain health
they don't
fun facts:
if you don't get enough protein in your diet, you will die
if you don't get enough fat in your diet, you will die
if you don't get enough carbohydrates in your diet, you'll feel a little sluggish

>>7945767
Oh go fuck yourself. I'm downgrading you to 4/10 based solely on the lack of effort in you're trolling.

>>7945476
Not just restaurants but grocers as well. We need to move, ultimately, towards caloric limits for everyone. Now this probably wouldn't go over well, so we have to discourage it first through increasingly burdensome taxation, licensing schemes to limit who can sell food, and what types, and the banning of certain things.

Interesting, but I think you're kidding yourself a little bit. I would say my own diet has become low fat compared to what it was back when I ate a more typical American diet, but I still use olive oil and eat nuts when I'm not having any animal fat (which is most days).
>>7945812
This is true, but most people have no realistic concept of what their needs actually are, especially when it comes to protein.

if you want to get trimmer, cut those out too. You will be amazed at how lean you can get, and you'll feel great.

>>7946032
At my age (48) I'm happy to be wearing the same size pants I wore in high school. I don't need to go any further than that. Also: I fucking love olive oil.

>>7946038
Every bit of fat matters. i'm in my 30's and am thinner than I've ever been. Which is amazing since I've always had trouble with food. Turns out it was the fat in my diet which made me crave food. Replace fat with complex carbs, like beans, and everything is under control.

You won't find out what is and isn't covered until you actually get sick. Your oncologist may need a new boat, and the chemo he prescribes you might not be covered by your insurance.
