A tiny minority of people are fitness trainers, avid exercise enthusiasts or athletes, and those super active physically fit people have extraordinary macro requirements to support high level output. This is not the average person, or the kind of person's that read my blog.
In other words, to understand why obesity rates have been increasing worldwide we must look to macroeconomic and environmental trends that have changed in the last 60 years.
In some countries in Micronesia, obesity rates among adults over age 35 up to 95%, as it nearly all adults are very overweight or morbidly obese. If we go back to the time 50+ years ago when those people were eating traditional diets of real whole natural foods found locally, hunted or foraged, or planted for harvest, there was no sugar, that is no refined sugar, no white flour, barley or rye grain or bread or pasta or processed foods.
Now in these same countries where western diets have been widely adopted, easy fast foods in cans, bags and boxes, popular because they quick to prepare to eat, easy to prepare, and cheap enough to make the convenience simple throw away package now responsible for the plastic pollution debacle or space trash debacle. Throw away rockets were even common back then in the 1960s. Would you buy a new car and drive it once and the dump it in the ocean?
No, well before Space X started landing rockets and reusing them, nearly all space rockets were one time use machines, giant fuel containers. One of 3,600,000 lb. total vehicle weight carried 3,400,000 lb. fuel as the rocket itself only weighed 200,000 lb., so basically a large candle or large fuel tank with a little rocket engine mounted to the end, so much that it is called the Fuel Mass paradox in rocket engineering today.
Microwave food tends to have incredible amounts of sodium added, and virtually no fiber as all the fiber removed in order to make the items freeze well and thaw out well, as fiber content would interfere with this. If you freeze fruit then thaw it out it becomes mushy and runny as a result, as an example. The nutritional value of frozen food tends to decline with age in storage in freezers and can form ice crystals or strange tastes and smells if not sealed properly in vacuum sealed thicker freezer bags.
At the grocery store we fined many items made of the same few ingredients rearranged cleverly with different seasonings and packing graphics. Sugar, Starch usually also Modified chemically, unhealthy industrial vegetable seed oils high in inflammatory omega 6, almost no fiber or protein and free of water or air, in sealed mylar bags, or bags inside boxes.
Easily identify and unhealthy processed or highly processed food by flipping the bag or box over and reading the Ingredients. If it has more than 5 ingredients and at least one ingredient that you do not recognize or cannot pronounce, or says artificial color like Red 40, Yellow 5, or Blue 1, or some exotic chemical preservative like Brominated Vegetable Oil or BVO or TBHQ also called Tertiary butylhydroquinone, or Titanium Dioxide, or anything artificial, then you know you are holding an unhealthy UPF proven to sicken people with common health problems like heart disease, diabetes and cancers, with added nitrites or nitrates in processed meats, or RBST treated cow dairy products, also called bovine growth hormone, these things are not health to consume.
Furthermore many processed foods ready to eat have higher levels of microplastics than real foods, whole, natural and organic, that you find around the outside edges or outer border of a grocery store or super market.
Real foods have been foods since Christ Jesus was alive walking the Earth in first person thousands of years ago and are still real foods today, and have to be home cooked from scratch to make high quality food thats actually good for health of the body and wellness when eaten.
Eating UPF regularly a proven pathway to shorter life, with disabilities and health problems for the last half or more. Many young people are obese now, children that are morbidly obese from nearly constantly consuming UPF, junk foods, candy and other industrial processed junk with strange ingredients.
Fast from anything containing added sugars by reading the nutritional label of everything you buy. Flip the stuff over and read the ingredients and look for sugar by the 61 different names of sugar in food ingredients listings. Sucrose, HFCS or high fructose corn syrup, barely malt, dextrose, maltose, rice syrup, corn syrup,
Even the AHA or American Heart Association, demonized for promoting the unhealthy high carb, low fat, low protein Food Pyramid because of bunk science from Ansel Keys, and even the AHA say the upper daily limit for added sugar for adult men 38 grams or 9 teaspoons of sugar, and for adult women 25 grams or 6 teaspoons, and for children depending on their size and age, less than 6 grams or no more than 3 grams daily for smaller children, as more added sugar a metabolic toxin that cause obesity and can create pre diabetes or Type 3 diabetes even in young children who regularly consume too much added sugar from eating UPF processed junk foods as staples of their diet.
Things from FritoLay like potato chips made in an industrial way using strange chemical engineering and industrial processing methods that would be nearly impossible to do in a home kitchen on a small scale, using ingredients that virtually no one cooks with at home and that almost no one has at home, almost exclusively used by industrial food processing companies that make most of the bagged and boxed foods on the isles of most grocery stores in America and elsewhere where western diets widely adopted and processed foods are commonly sold. Think sugary soda pope or candy or junk food thats as bad or worse for the body than drinking alcohol in excess or smoking tobacco cigarettes or similar.
Sneaky how they take the healthy fats out and add extra sugar, it's not just soda and candy either. Lets pick on typical soft drinks, soda or pop, with many containing 46+ grams in a 12-oz single serving can, where drinking one exceeds the RDA for added sugar for men and nearly double the upper daily limit for women and children. Some brans of yogurt contain 29 grams of added sugar in a small single serving. A compact smaller breakfast bar with 15 grams of added sugar, like some candy bars. Bran cereal with raisins containing 20 grams of sugar per serving.
Insanely, they are adding sugar to the raisins, which are already sweet naturally. I call this sickly sweet or overly sweet, an easy way to develop type 2 diabetes or become fat when eaten regularly. While I almost never eat breakfast, I eat eggs with salt and pepper, cooked sunny side up in butter in a pan over heat, or add raw almonds to whole milk yogurt with a teaspoon of honey added, pinch of salt, or green apple derive acid powder for sour tart flavor boost. I usually drink a glass of water waking between 3:30am and 5am naturally without an alarm. I drink a glass of water 30 min to 1 hour after waking. I wait between 3 and 6 hours after waking before I eat anything.
Make no mistake, its better to eat fresh whole fruit than to drink concentrated juice, since juices often contain added sugars, artificial colors and flavors, and have no enzymes or fiber like the real fruit the juice was made from originally. Fruit juice can be as high in sugar or have more sugar than soda pop. Yes, fruit and berries have natural sugars, fructose, but they are diluted within the water flesh containing anthocyanin and color compounds, polyphenols, fibers, fats, protein, minerals and vitamins not present in the juice, though sometimes added back with fortification, though those fortifications are less bioavailable to your body that the vitamins in real fruit, veggies and berries naturally.
Many common sources, condiments and dressings have loads of added sugars, read the labels, nutritional and ingredients information and look for sugar or added sugars. They are adding sugar to make the products more addictive so you buy and eat more, but thats making nearly everyone fatter and sicker.
Executives at many pharmaceutical companies promote a so called healthy high carb, low fat, low protein diet, but they themselves eat a low carb, higher fat, high protein diet. What does that tell you?
Would you add low quality fuel to your car? No, well then why do you fuel your body with low quality food? Is it really cheaper if it ends up robbing you of mobility with diabetic food ulcers that require amputation when you're 40 years old? Unhealing foot ulcers that become infected, making walking painful. Does having your mobility robbed from you by eating junk foods as a life style sound like a happy life?
