My family says both of these things. They're all overweight and are shocked when I tell them how much I spend at the grocery store. Much less than them despite my diet mainly being fresh produce and fish/white meat.

Oh and they hate all the food I cook despite me loving it. I just chock it up to their palates being ruined by processed shit and sugar. Or I could be a terrible cook I guess.

Yeah "healthy food is too expensive" is a popular line in the UK too, but I don't understand how. Maybe because pre-prepared "healthy" food is more expensive than pre-pared shit food.

You can eat very well, and healthy for cheap if you can be bothered to do a bit of cooking.

Now that you're educated on what diabetes is, what is your logic for thinking that eating more of the thing that caused the problem will fix the problem, and avoiding what any human is supposed to eat forever is a good idea? It's like being in a room filled with smoke, and instead of clearing the smoke out of the room you just stop breathing instead. That's not how we do things

Lower the fat, raise the carbohydrate, your cells open up and your insulin sensitivity improves.

The only time I've seen people struggle to lose weight while eating substantial carbs is when their "carbs" are something like pizza, cookies, potato chips, etc that also have a lot of fat. When you're just eating rice (without butter and meat) and oatmeal (without bacon on the side) and fruit, you drop weight

You had two separate thoughts here. White bread and bread aren't the same product, they don't have the same effect on the body.

A problem I see with a lot of people these days is media has distorted the word "carb" to mean just refined junk food. No diabetic is going to die from eating lentils and oats.

Not that guy, but you are wrong. The things eaten with carbs are not necessarily terrible for you.
Take fats for example, eat them without the carbs, and you'll lose weight just as well as carbs without the fat. It's certain combinations that are terrible for you. Fat + carbs is a horrible combination. Carbs + protein = good. Fat + protein = good. Fat + protein + carbs is fine if you can moderate yourself, unfortunately most of the slovenly sort cannot.

This. Fat people always have to put a slab of butter or bacon grease on their greens, their excuse being "need fat to absorb the vitamins," like they think all the other fat in the meal doesn't count and it has to actually be drenching the vegetables as well for your body to digest any fat with it

They're as salty as you care to salt them. If you buy them in cans they probably have a lot of salt, but in dry form they're extremely cheap and the seasoning is up to you

Most of the day I'm eating very low-sodium things like unsalted oats, unseasoned baked sweet potatoes, and fruit, so when I have lentils I put a decent amount of salt on them since my daily sodium intake is still pretty low. Find whatever style you like to eat them in and make them a staple of your diet. Good for the wallet, good for the body.

That's perfectly normal. So did I. But the sheer volume of people who were 300-pounders or worse, and required electric trolleys for basic transportation at an age of 20 to 40-something are the horror I was talking about, not the normal people kicking back and letting loose on a cruise.

The salient point in what I was saying was the sheer volume of fatlord mega-gordozoids to normal people. You just don't see that kind of abject human misery through overfeeding anywhere else than the 'states. Before I went there I was expecting to see women dressed primarily in cocktail dresses, swimsuits or leisurewear but the reality of the matter was that the most common piece of clothing was something akin to a hospital gown in the size of half-platoon tent.

All clean shit by scratch since i stay home a lot I just eat a lot and still have a higher than normal (but not currently overweight category) bmi. I haven't had my favorite croissants since December (f u for making me think about it tho) but I honestly can't eat what I do and feel full on it and not have the constant feeling of passing out after my usual 1 hr exercise or walk round the area

I know its been coz I've been conditioned over the years to not feel full at the usual 80%. I wish I could shrink my capacity but that that bullshit about drinking lots of water and how your body will adjust itself over the months is bogus, I still eat the same and the same weight...

This is a fucking joke because buying greens and other good things costs more than getting a burger at a cheap place for a buck. I agree being healthy is good but come the fuck on health nuts. You have the income and the privileged to eat higher quality things. The most fat people can do is eat less and exercise but junk food is cheaper and nothing can change that since they are made with, well, shit ingredients.

I think he's an idiot tho his freezer is tiny so he can't make bulk meals and store them like I do. When you go buy veges for one person its hard cos its like you got to have a whole head of broccoli you need to finish on your own, or a while kg of bananas or whatever. You can't just buy a bunch of different stuff and be economical anymore.
So he quit trying and said he'd save it for when he got more money again.

>This is a fucking joke because buying greens and other good things costs more than getting a burger at a cheap place for a buck.

Giant bundle of organic kale - $1
1-pound bag of organic carrots - $1
Giant tub of rolled oats that will last you atleast a week or two - $5
Pound of bananas - 50 cents
10 pound bag of brown rice - $8
6 ounce bag of walnuts - $4
Any kind of bean or lentils - between 70 cents and $1.50 per pound
Sweet potatoes - 60 cents a pound
Whole wheat pasta - $3 for a pound and a half dry

Pic related, it's what $3 worth of kale looks like. You could stretch that out to last a week easily. Of course not EVERY healthy food is cheap, certain fruits and vegetables can be pricey (especially berries where I live), but there's always healthy options and they do, in the long run, cost less than junk food. The only excuse one can have is they prefer the taste of junk food and they don't want to put any effort into cooking their own meals

Alright, cheers. How much more?
I'm a tall dude and I think i'm still young enough for shit to be burned out of nowhere. At this stage i'm not running huge distances though, so I don't think it's essential to have big meals for specfic runs.
Should I just eat a neglible deficit/surplus so it doesn't really matter, or a bit more than that for gradual muscle without any real fat gain?
I know I said i'm skinny but that doesn't mean I want to bulk being lean into the toilet. Carbs and fruit are like entirely unlikely to have that effect but yeah.

Tinned and frozen stuff is always cheap. While being a bit worse than fresh, it's still vegetables. Infinitely better than living off fucking junk food.
I hate that a lot of veges are so damn expensive but I just buy in-season and work with what I have to eat healthy. I'm not rich at all and my grocery bill is loads less than what most poorfags spend. I would spend more for fresh stuff if I could afford to prioritise quality food.

I advise not buying tinned fruit though. "In syrup" removes any health benefits. Just get some cheap apples from a green grocer or something and deal with the extra $1.50.

i'm not a "health nut" either. I like to eat healthy but i'm not a dick about it to anyone.

If you're eating easily digestible food like fruit and exercising, you can pretty much eat all you want, your metabolism is going to burn right through those simple sugars. You want to eat enough that your body isn't going into starvation mode and trying to store fat, which it'll try to do if you're just running and not weightlifting as well

Your best option is to slam in like 10-15 bananas a day on top of your current diet and also do some light weightlifting, otherwise you'll just look like these guys

Not so much that healthy food is expensive but cost+time factor together making fast cheap shit a preferable choice.
I'd rather spend half an hour making and eating shit than spend and hour/hour and a half/all day making something healthy. More free time vs longer life are probably about equal free time as far as I'm concerned. I choose to use my free time now while I'm young enough to enjoy it.

So in short laziness and apathy lead me to being perfectly happy settling with shittier food.

I had a girl in my class who blamed poor genetics and all that. She weighed about 110 kg, which is carnival attraction-mode in Scandinavia.

Then she started to work out on a daily basis, changing her diet around and now is down to a normal weight, and it finally struck her that the genetics thing is nothing but a sad excuse for lazy fat people. She came clean with it being her parents fault for stuffing her with sugar and fat since birth, and of course partly her fault for not breaking the habit earlier.
