There are people that can 4000+ calories a day and NOT gain a pound. So genetics does play a role.

True.

This was recently posted on FR:
PROCESSED FOOD

According to the USDA, processed food is defined as any raw agricultural commodity that has been subject to washing, cleaning, milling, cutting, chopping, heating, pasteurizing, blanching, cooking, canning, freezing, drying, dehydrating, mixing, packaging or other procedures that alter the food from its natural state. This may include the addition of other ingredients to the food, such as preservatives, flavors, nutrients and other food additives or substances approved for use in food products, such as salt, sugars and fats.

So, by definition, most times we engage in food preparation and cook, we are in fact processing foods.

The American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says processed foods range on a scale of minimally processed to mostly processed:

Minimally processed foods — such as bagged spinach, cut vegetables and roasted nuts — are often simply pre-prepped for convenience.
Foods processed at their peak to lock in nutritional quality and freshness include canned tomatoes, frozen fruit and vegetables and canned tuna.
Foods with ingredients added for flavor and texture (sweeteners, spices, oils, colors and preservatives) include jarred pasta sauce, salad dressing, yogurt and cake mixes.
Ready-to-eat foods — such as crackers, chips and deli meat — are more heavily processed.
The most heavily processed foods often are frozen or pre-made meals, including frozen pizza and microwaveable dinners.

I’m one of them. All the fat people in my extended family overeat and sit all day. I agree genetics is a large part of it, though.

Then why would you post the crap? Genetics is a huge factor in obesity.

The Food Pyramid came from the agricultural lobby.

To pump up declining grain prices.

To: Tell It Right

“Being anti-fat...”

Through my years with the military and DOD, I have found that obesity is not an illness, it is result. And that result can be caused by numerous factors the person has no ability to recognize and/or correct.

I read your articles and I saw a whole lot of we are now finding out about relationships that genes and current theologies based upon outdated (faulty) recommendations are being formed. They don’t know for sure on anything about the causes of insulin resistance, heart disease, asthma, the effects of fiber, the overwhelming use of firing nickel ions through prepared foods, and many other related topics they are trying to convey some type of success for their studies.

And always remember, they are practicing medicine, not perfecting it.

"Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer." --1 Timothy 4

Diet and exercise are “non-invasive”.

Nearly half of the adults and 20 percent of children in the United States have obesity, yet doctors are under prescribing effective weight loss medications ...

Perfect example of how screwed up the medical profession is. No mention of diet and exercise in the article. Instead of pushing more medication, doctors should work with patients to cut out the junk foods, pizza, and snacks from their diet.

I’ll say it another way:
Overeating is the number one cause.

I smoke so I eat very little to make up for it. I love fasting. Once you can go 24-48 hours without eating, you can do amazing things with weight loss/control. It helps that I have no appetite. Long story due other medical issues that had long lasting effects (15 years now)

I keep my weight down. That extra health benefit allows me to smoke and drink more.

I know it shouldn’t be that way but I’m human. My wife can eat everything and stay as slim as she was at 20. She does work out. We have 2 very different approaches. Won’t matter she will out live me. She is 11 years younger.

If it’s not a vaccine, it’s not real medicine.

“Genetics is a huge factor in obesity.”

Only for a few people. MOST fat people are eating too much sugar, too much refined wheat and sitting around too much.

Overeating is the number one cause.

But not for ectomorphs...
