Financial cost of obesity

[Anonymous No.29733537]

Hey frens,

My younger bro who is 23 is severely obese (39+ on the BMI scale) and I am scared for his health and his financial future. He just had a delivery order of junk food.

I had a rich lawyer uncle who wouldn't stop drinking even after the doc said he'd lose his foot. He lost it and kept drinking, then died. For his funeral's reception, there was a free all you can drink type of wine he liked that basically killed him. He was able to shoulder the financial cost due to his accumulated wealth, but my brother is credit maxed pretty much.

Anybody here have experience with the financial cost of obesity? At the very least, I want to be ready to know what financial hardships he'll be facing.

You should probably convince him to stop being fat.

Yeah, being fat is expensive. But maintaining your fatness is probably way less expensive then losing weight early on. They won't be able to go from 3000 calories a day to 1600 without crashing and burning. Trying to get yourself off of the fatty food while maintaining 2200+ cals a day is fucking expensive dawg.

He did try keto for a while. Our dad funded it and offered him $25 per pound. Went from 345 down to 315 over two months. "Temporarily" took a break from it and is now at about 350. Crash and burn diets tend to rebound fron what I've read.

If he was a stock price, I'd be happy.

I never had a brother so this is me just postulating but I'd probably be making his life hell until he started working out or at least eating better. Like why not? He knows what he's doing is unhealthy so no matter what you do to him he knows he deserves it. Only thing to consider is if he moves out or something and just fucks up all the progress.

Keto is different, though. I'm speaking from my girlfriend's experience, not mine, btw. But she said that while she was losing weight on keto (50 lbs down from chub to skinny in the 6 months before meeting me), she felt physically fantastic and full of energy.

She also says that much of the "keto" community has turned it into a total buzzword, and they don't obey the simple science of just not eating hardly any carbs. If you eat like one slice of bread a day while on keto, you're absolutely fucked. It's like giving a heroin addict a quarter shot of heroin every day but never lowering the dose to taper him off.

Anon, that's great she was able to lose weight via keto. Had a coworker on it. Said he felt hungry constantly, but had tons of energy.

He consume only a moderate amount of sugar. Mostly simple carbs and sugars with a solid amount of fats. When he kept to fats and protein, he lost 30 pounds in two months.

Took one day off from keto to celebrate his work, then another day, then another day, then he just went full on junk food. It breaks my heart.

I'm just glad he doesn't drink alcohol more than a few drinks every other month, as his liver is already getting wrecked from high saturated fat intake.

Cutting all sugar/carbs (i.e. Keto) is the only thing that works for the body. The problem is that you also need to find something that works for the mind too, otherwise you can rebound easily if you were coming from a crazy fat person mindset where you were used to eat a pack of mms and a bottle of coke everyday.

This reads like bait but I'll bite anyway.

You realize the entire "fat is bad" thing comes from when the sugar industry realized sugar makes you fat and is literally poison to the human body and spent tons of money on a campaign demonizing fat right? That's when the "low fat" craze took off. When you take the fat out of something, it tastes like shit. So they started loading low fat meals with sugar which is what made everyone fat. Look up Ancel Keys, Robert Lustig and Gary Taubs.

Why do you think keto is legit for losing fat even though you eat like 300+ grams of fat a day? If you don't give your body carbs it can swap to using fat as a primary energy source which causes you to burn body fat right away when you're hungry instead of burning the energy from carbs stored in your muscles. If you go on an all sugar diet you'll get diabetes real fast.

>>29733537
anon I am 23 and recently went from Obese (120kg+) to a relatively normal weight (85kg) so I may be able to offer perspective. Financially, losing weight is far more expensive than remaining fat. For me, I had to start paying for a gym membership, clothing and shoes, proper cooked high protein meals, and, it sounds silly, but I was invited out more often socially too, which also increased the amount I would spend. When you're obese, you're paying for excess junk food but you don't really have any interest or motivation to do anything else. All of your money goes towards food. Essentially losing weight is a lifestyle change more than anything, and the lifestyle of an obese person is comparable to fast food, cheap and fast, whilst the lifestyle of a fit, healthy person is naturally something you would want to spend money on

[Anonymous No.29737601]

This is also sort of false, calories in calories out is a meme designed by coke and other companies to shift the blame onto people for their weight while getting them to keep consuming shit. You aren't what you eat, you are what your body does with what you eat. Eating bread produces a similar insulin response as eating chocolate. Eating 3000 calories a day in steak and eating 3000 calories a day in bread will yield dramatically different results.

In looking up food stuff due to my own interest even before my brother became obese was learning the cost of processing food.

Fats take something like 1-5% of the energy they contain. To be processed. Carbs going from simple to complex take 5-30%. Protein I want to say is around 40%. Too much milk protein over time can cause kidneys to bleed due to some protein in dairy being rough on kidneys.

My brother will easily eat 500-750g of sugar a day not including non-sugar simple carbs.

I also noticed his acne is getting worse versus when he was on keto.

I can't effectively be his care taker while also being my parents' caretakers when they get dementia in 15 years.

It actually doesn't. It keeps you hydrated, which most people could benefit from. The carbonation also helps me with satiety personally.

There's 800 calories in a 2 liter bottle of coke, same as 3 slices of pizza. Which would you say is easier to mindlessly consume?

I would never say it's the optimal play, but it's better than what a lot of fat people are doing. They replace cola with something that is more calorie dense. I have a 100 ounce mega jug from the gas station that stays cold all day and I drink over the day. Diet M-F regular on the weeknd. It's worked great.

You think I learned all this about nutritional biochemistry so I could be obese? I've eaten 4000 calories a day for the last year with almost no carbs or sugar. I'm not fat, I'm not even a little fat. If you eat too much of anything you'll get fat yes, but fat can be eaten in large amounts in a safe and healthy manner. There is no safe amount of processed sugar for the human body. It's literally poison. The heaviest I've been in my life was 189lb and that was when I was going hard on carbs on a bulk.

His interests, especially during winter, gave devolved into primarily eating a large of amount of snacks, drinking a lot of caffeine, gaming with online friends, followed by laying down with his phone until he crashes out.

HFCS is a diversion tactic so they can hide the amount of sugar in something. You don't have to list HFCS as sugars on nutritional labels. This goes for all the modifications of sugar, most things have more than one type of sugar in them, but only have the actual straight sugar amounts on the labels.

Sugar is not wonderful. Refined sugar is poison pure and simple. Sugar from fruits is ok because the fiber in them mitigates the sugar, this is why juice crazes are bad, it removes the fiber and gives you straight sugar. I've given sources for this already, not my fault if people don't want to check them out.

>>29738036

Are you trolling? Yes I shit out the food I eat, I'd be worried if I wasn't. It's called exercise, 4000 calories isn't a lot when you walk 8-10km a day and lift 3x a week. Look up ketosis and realize that when I say I'm eating a large amount of fat, that doesn't mean burgers and snacks, it means whole milk, olive oil, meats, nuts etc. I'm just trying to make sure people don't see "sugar is good for you" and think it actually is.

[Anonymous No.29738213]

Wings of redemption said he spends at least $1,000 USD on food a month. He does have a fat obese wife. So I'd cut that in half just for him. So $500 min. on food alone.

On my 600lb life they usually have type 2 diabetes, require an oxygen tank, require modifications to their home like a stool in the shower, wider doors, wheel chair.

Then their death at around 45 years old and any pain killers they need due to joint and back pain.

I'd say on average you're spending thousands to support a fatty like that per month.

yes having around 1/2 or 1/3 of your daily calories delivered in a constant flow of sugar isn’t a problem
it doesn’t mess with your hormones at all
i agree in the end it’s about calories in calories out but having half of your macros coming from corn syrup will fuck you up
and it’s literally the easiest thing to change since water doesn’t even really taste like something
so fatties could just be big boys for once in their life and change their sweet feel good juice replace with something that doesn’t taste at all

You are correct. They are different. Less fructose in sugar. He gets HFCS alright, but he'll also often have snacks with sugar, so probably a 50/50 split.

Fructose by itself say in fruit juice releases over 100 times the number of oxidents into the body as glucose since it isn't in the fiber matrix like fruit should be. Fruit juice is marketed as being "healthy" when it isn't. I still love the occasional cup.

I am aware that having some oxidents is good as they help to clean up old cells (I want to say cells) in the body. Too much starts destroying healthy ones.

Glucose is neat as it requires no conversion, so it feeds the brain and music tissue quickly. I see it in a lot of Korean candies.

Eat what ever you want at what ever quantity you want and believe what ever bullshit you want because it’s not my life you’re fucking up so i couldn’t care less.

Thanks for the lulz guys!

Preparing a balanced meal of decent quality ingredients that hits all the nutrients and doesn't taste like depression is on average more expensive than buying a microwaveable TV dinner or packet of hot pockets.

Also, where the fuck do you live that a basic chain restaurant garbage burger is fucking 6 dollarydoos?

it's not more expensive, it's just a bit more time consuming to make (for many foods, but things like pre-prepared salads are CHEAPER AND EASIER). this is why fast food dominates in poorer areas--it caters to the tired and hungry.

Consider this: The cost of an obese unhealthy population is less than the cost of a healthy population with properly functioning brains who would be demanding the problems of the nation be fixed properly instead of sitting at home drinking sugar juice pacified by television.

Eating healthy is not more expensive than eating garbage, it's just easier. Buying some meat and vegetables and cooking them is far cheaper than eating out every meal. I spend £45 a week on food and eat 4000 calories a day, no processed food, no takeouts etc. One decent sized meal from a takeout place is £5 minimum. If you're eating 3 meals a day, that's £105 a week. More than double. Microwave meals and shit like that is cheaper sure, but it's 100% devoid of any nutrition and full of cancer causing chemicals. Anyone who says eating healthy is expensive is too lazy to properly work out a food budget and do research on nutrition.

Yes, but keto acidifies your body basically and opens a door to many diseases. And the moment you start consuming carbs again (which you absolutely need, your gut lives on it) your body goes apeshit

Imagine making yourself fat then complaining about all the disadvantages of being fat. You should have to pay an NHS surcharge to access healthcare if you're fat because it's self imposed.

Keto is good in short periods but should never be a permanent diet. It's really good for cutting fat because instead of limiting yourself on carbs and hating every meal, you can just eat tons of butter and olive oil and meat for a couple months while cutting and it will feel like a treat instead of a chore. I did keto for 6 months and by the end of it I had heartburn permanently until I stopped and went back to carbs. It's good for people with diabetes and people cutting fat but it should never be a permanent thing.

wrong, faggot, veg is cheap and eating a balanced diet of veg proteins carbs and fats is not expensive at all, it only requires a little bit of intelligence and forethought so I'm not surprised you find it difficult

This. Tell him about the benefits of puking before going to bed.

Bad throat is a small price to pay to not be fat if you can't stop eating. Contrary to popular belief your teeth will not get wrecked by puking but your throat will start taking damage if you keep it up over 5 years.
