Crazy thing is a lot of “body positive” influencers do this and just further screw up women’s self image. Women be a size 8 tryna figure out why they got a fatter face than some 300 pound plus size influencer.

I would bet a lot of money that she ends up looking like the before picture in less than a year due to her poor eating habits.

Why It Was Easier to Be Skinny in the 1980s​

A study finds that people who eat and exercise the same amount as people 20 years prior are still fatter.​

A 2016 study published in the journal Obesity Research & Clinical Practice found that it’s harder for adults today to maintain the same weight as those 20 to 30 years ago did, even at the same levels of food intake and exercise.

The authors examined the dietary data of 36,400 Americans between 1971 and 2008 and the physical activity data of 14,419 people between 1988 and 2006. They grouped the data sets together by the amount of food and activity, age, and BMI.

They found a very surprising correlation: A given person, in 2006, eating the same amount of calories, taking in the same quantities of macronutrients like protein and fat, and exercising the same amount as a person of the same age did in 1988 would have a BMI that was about 2.3 points higher. In other words, people today are about 10 percent heavier than people were in the 1980s, even if they follow the exact same diet and exercise plans.

“Our study results suggest that if you are 25, you’d have to eat even less and exercise more than those older, to prevent gaining weight,” Jennifer Kuk, a professor of kinesiology and health science at Toronto’s York University, said in a statement. “However, it also indicates there may be other specific changes contributing to the rise in obesity beyond just diet and exercise.”

Just what those other changes might be, though, are still a matter of hypothesis. In an interview, Kuk proffered three different factors that might be making harder for adults today to stay thin.

First, people are exposed to more chemicals that might be weight-gain inducing. Pesticides, flame ******ants, and the substances in food packaging might all be altering our hormonal processes and tweaking the way our bodies put on and maintain weight.

Second, the use of prescription drugs has risen dramatically since the ‘70s and ‘80s. Prozac, the first blockbuster SSRI, came out in 1988. Antidepressants are now one of the most commonly prescribed drugs in the U.S., and many of them have been linked to weight gain.

Finally, Kuk and the other study authors think that the microbiomes of Americans might have somehow changed between the 1980s and now. It’s well known that some types of gut bacteria make a person more prone to weight gain and obesity. Americans are eating more meat than they were a few decades ago, and many animal products are treated with hormones and antibiotics in order to promote growth. All that meat might be changing gut bacteria in ways that are subtle, at first, but add up over time. Kuk believes the proliferation of artificial sweeteners could also be playing a role.

The fact that the body weights of Americans today are influenced by factors beyond their control is a sign, Kuk says, that society should be kinder to people of all body types.

“There's a huge weight bias against people with obesity,” she said. “They're judged as lazy and self-indulgent. That's really not the case. If our research is correct, you need to eat even less and exercise even more” just to be same weight as your parents were at your age.

The exercise part is perhaps one area where Old Economy Steve doesn’t have an edge. A membership at one of the newfangled fitness centers of 1987 would go for about $2,800 per year in today’s dollars, and that’s still what it costs today.

Honestly i've seen that behavior from all types, and it's a little scary from what are normally rational people. This dude gotta decide who he wants to be, because he can't stick to it.

such a trash POV. Why wouldnt the beef be with Novo/Lilly for not making enough, the same way Nike makes 100,000 shoes and calls them limited? Also, it's a sequence of amino acids and they patented it to make it so nobody else can sell it even though it's easy to manufacture, so again seems like the hate should be at Novo/Lilly. It was recently pointed out they can make te **** for 5 bucks but it costs $1500 and is on backorder

Same company during the pandemy capped insulin prices at 50$ and wanted praise for it and tweeted it out and people pointed out, well wait couldnt yall have done that this whole time when you knew people were dying because they couldnt afford life saving medicine? Then they did the homer simpson in the bushes meme

Generic Ozempic Could Be as Cheap as $5 a Month, Study Finds

In a new study, researchers estimated the cost to produce diabetes drugs such as GLP-1s and insulin. They found that the market prices for these drugs are much higher than the production costs, especially in the U.S.

The Ozempic shaming is wild to me, if you've struggled with your weight you'd be crazy not to do it. it's a technological miracle.

so much of weight and body shape is genetic lottery stuff. to stay slim in our modern food abudenent society you need a typical self control or amazing genetics.

I like going to the gym and I like bodybuilding, Id prob be fat as hell if i didn't like those things. am I a better persons because those happen to be things I find those things enjoyable? seems to me it's just luck.

my aunt died from obesity, she might be alive today if we had ozempic back then.

Awful attitude to have for someone claiming to be in the medical field.

this is very interesting

 

[moonman818]

I agree with the sentiment.

But the supply is only an issue because the doctors are getting kickbacks to prescribe to as many people as they can (very similar to the painkiller epidemic).

Taking a shortcut is not gonna solve your problems, or make you healthier unless you make some lifestyle changes.
