Oddbean new post about login | logout Don't get fat. If ur already fat, get less fat. We say this because we care about you. Fat people are limited in life, and statistically, they die much earlier. Reaching ur potential doesn't include being 40 plus lbs overweight.
I don’t need these hard truths during Thanksgiving 😭
Are species evolved spending 75%+ of waking hours moving……I’d guess much of the developed world now spends less than 20% of waking hours moving. This needs to change, and will likely change naturally as people realize how important it is to be physical.
It’s not the lack of movement, believe it or not, it’s the processed food
It's ok, I'm fat in Kg so no worries 😀
Remember that the opposite of overweight isn't just less fat, it's physically fit. Burn fat and build muscle. It's work, but there are ways to make it easier. Make healthy habits. My healthy habits are easy (h/t @AustinHerbert and open source fitness) • 10k steps - daily (phones tracks it) • Workout 3x a week (3 hours a week) • 1-ingredient foods (yes, carbs included - this one is definitely the hardest) • 8-hour eating window (intermittent fasting fixes everything) nostr:note1cstpylkwfep32rpggm87a00aj66qjlz0qkt3ft6700k30xgfyexqwvrz3t
ER physician here. People would be amazed at how many people are sick just bc they are so fat. I see you guys hauling in people so huge it takes 6 of us to move them from your stretcher onto our bed.
My patient population is primarily old. You just don’t see that many 90+ overweight people in my clinic. Mostly thin. Their trick, most tell me, is to never stop moving. Or they say whiskey or tequila lol.
Both of my grandmothers, who lived to 92 and 97, fit this profile. For as long as they were able, they were essentially in constant motion while awake.
Walking w/ a purpose (like you'relate for an interview), a min of 10k a day is a great way to stay fit and keep your heart rate up. Especially if you are a disabled veteran who can't make those ruck marches or go for a run anymore. #Saveyourkness
Of all the weekends for this PSA. Next you’re gonna to tell me the perils of drinking, gambling, and VD on my flight back from Vegas.
