The problem is the body is not exactly reasonable or "Left-brained"), it's a slave to hormones. Humans in general are rather "semi-pliable".More like reasonable quantities of whole-grains are HEALTHY and ANY amount of processed grains are really bad for you.
High-fiber foods do not cause anything like the blood-sugar spike you get from a serving of processed flour even if they also contain carbs.
Don't take my word for it, ask a medical professional.

I really should look into meal-delivery (actual balanced meals, with veggies and evrything), rasther than pizza-delivery. I am largely unable to cook, both due to my small apt. stove being inaccessably, largely, as well as the fact that I can't be on my feet for too long. (Imagine a 5 min MMO-style "life bar" when I'm on my feet, and not supported by a metal chair or bed, before my legs buckle under, and I collapse in a heap on the floor.)Haven't watched the shows, but if they are medicated for mental problems, is it the mental issue itself or the medicine side effects? I mean, we do have a 400 lb member here(Larry), and he downs energy drinks because they are the few things that make him feel a bit better from his meds' side effects.
It would be a lack of effort if they lapse after informing them of what to eat and what not to eat on a general level.

It depends are what exactly is the whole grain in question and the matter of budget. I'd still aim to try eliminate them to as little as feasible and eat from other sources such as beans, vegetables, certain seafood, high quality eggs, nuts, and certain fruits to get a complete nutritional profile if possible. Something like quinoa or barley is better than "whole wheat" bread or spaghetti. The spike in blood sugar is not as high but the insulin spike will still occur with a whole wheat spaghetti meal.
While I didn't watch the show (I don't watch much TV anyway.) It sounds like there are a lot of crazy health nuts in this thread. Sure, being 600 LBS is overweight, but obsessing over what to eat isn't good either.
Trying to determine, when I went from a semi-"healthy" (if "huge", and "morbidly obese") 340lbs, to my now-current 420-430lbs. Part of it was a change in my meds, part of it was getting older, part of it was a controlling abusive adult parent, that strives to remove any sense of agency that I have over my life. Such as launching into a swearing tirade, when I told them that I was going to the grocery store, when they had gotten me food from the food pantry. And on other occassions, fed me an entire cheesecake, telling me that is "was healthy", "because it contained milk and calcium". No concern shown for sugar or calorie content, and I wasn't thin then. Largely, then, I was brainwashed and controlled. And still am.FWIW it seems to me that these people who slide into extreme obesity have something in common with those who get addicted to tobacco, become alcoholics, or dependent on drugs. There is something in their makeup that predisposes them to having serious control problems with a particular thing, and the results are sad (and perhaps incomprehensible to the rest of us) if their weakness gets exposed through events in their lives. I thank my lucky stars that something like this hasn't happened to me (yet). Oh, I could add conspiracy theorists to my list. 🙄
I recall you having some EBT funds, you should redirect some of the spending onto more wholesome foods.I really should look into meal-delivery (actual balanced meals, with veggies and evrything), rasther than pizza-delivery.

There's a difference between obsessive nuttery and developing a pragmatic response to a problem out of necessity. The former has misperceptions and fear that something could go wrong, which ironically causes self-harm. Whereas the latter is more likely to have already dealt with an issue and wants to avoid a reoccurrence. Folks who have to cook to avoid peanut allergies, have to keep sharp eye on ingredients to avoid harming whomever they are caring for, for example.While I didn't watch the show (I don't watch much TV anyway.)

I imagine if Larry started smoking and being at home all day, he'd end up putting on 100+ lbs from having the munchies.Hmm, you say 420 LBS...I wonder if that is code for something that might help?I don't smoke, but there are alternatives to that. Question is, would CBD or THC or whatever help lower your weight? I don't know, I am not an expert on that.
Eventually, you psychologically and emotionally shut down. (Like that Stephen King movie.)
Wait, your a "starch addict" but you weigh 126lbs?.Pizza has a substantial flour component.
Lady two has fried chicken and bread, again starches.
I myself am a starch addict, and thus bare minimum I have to eat at least a little low sugar fruit like blackberries so I don't feel miserable. The body's response to glucose makes people feel good, so I'm not surprised if someone with issues turns to foods containing glucose's complex precursors to get their fix.
When Larry said that, it made me think of Eddie (and his mom) from It.THIS Stephen King movie?!?
That scene scared me more than anything else horror-related, no wonder she won the Oscar..THIS Stephen King movie?!?

They psychological effect is still there. Feels great when something starchy goes down the chute, be it French toast, pancakes, etc. Black Friday, there was 3/4 of a Mrs. Smith pumpkin pie. Intellectually, I did not even want my mom to buy a box. I take one bite, and eventually, the whole pie was eaten by me, crust and all.Wait, your a "starch addict" but you weigh 126lbs?.
I think the riddle that was weaved together for people to figure out was that Lacey was the actual duplicitous piece of shit. The silver-tongued speaker who says all the right things but fails to deliver. She enjoys being a professional victim. The doc of the show was very clear he didn't believe she was actually committed to doing the work to cure her condition.'Lacey's Journey' - Aired on Dec 2.
1. I've never been to Washington, but based on what I saw on this episode, in Kennewick drugs are prevalent and salad/vegetables must not be available (every person in the episode was big and looked like they've had very rough lives).
2. If I had to be in a car with Sharon for longer than 10 minutes, I'd seriously buy and bite down on a cyanide pill to end my suffering of being near her. That is one very opinionated, loud, and angry person.
3. What an absolute shit-show of humanity by all parties involved (but mostly by Sharon the loud, opinionated, angry devil woman). Some people apparently don't care how badly they present themselves on TV...... basically a real life version of the Jerry Springer Show.

On the first road trip down to Houston with her boyfriend (Steven) and Sharon (devil woman), Lacey decides to shit herself in the car.
On the 2nd road trip down with the same people, Sharon goes absolutely insane on her, and it ends with Lacey calling the police and being left in Texas at a gas station, breaking up with her boyfriend (and thanking him for wiping her ass), and all of her possessions in the U-Haul trailer being "donated" by Sharon and Steven in College Station, TX after they left.
And now, covid-19.Obesity - heart disease - diabetes - kills how many people a year, yet we still allow people to buy Oreos. It's a problem!
That's the last thing I'd want to see. I see fat people around here, they aren't uncommon. People stuffed into their oversized clothes looking like they were just inflated under pressure.![]()

Yeah, I'm fully aware that that's the reason (a BIG reason, ugh) they're showing fat and really fat people on TV these days.it gets worse with the Fat Acceptance Movement.
Watch some of those videos and you will start getting angry at the denial and the stupidity on display.
A lot of good info here and not widely known or understood. There's a few super great documentaries about it.I would not put lack of effort as one of the higher reasons people stay fat.
Dietary guidelines are in contradiction to proper eating and weight maintenance. The sheer encouragement of grains and other starchy foods leads to a hormone cycle that encourages weight gain. The seasoning of most foods with sugar does the same. Insulin is great for gaining mass, be it muscle or fat, by signaling cells to take in glucose and fat. The "crash" of insulin in the bloodstream also leads to the feeling of hunger. Fatty foods and protein-rich foods, in the absence of easily digestible carbohydrates, trigger satiation much sooner. Add rice, sugar, etc, and the the starch/sugar increases the threshold in the amount a person can eat.
There is also the matter of budget. Grains are super cheap, sometimes even free. If someone is getting food from a food bank or church program, there's plenty of cereal, pasta, bread. I know because my mom has nabbed that kind of food for over 14 years and still does.
I've gained weight from 54.1kg(119lb) in mid-October to 57.5kg(126lb) yesterday by reintroducing breads, pancakes(rice and regular), pizza, etc into my diet. I fucking felt cold and didn't like it, and knew what to do.
What interesting is if you starve a human body and all the fat cells are empty it will 1st start to consume cells of major organs and not the empty fat cells, the logic is if/when food becomes available again the empty fat cells can be quickly filled as storage.A lot of good info here and not widely known or understood. There's a few super great documentaries about it.
There's Super Size Me, that made waves and I think I saw it once.
Here's one I've seen a few times, Fed Up (2014 documentary), because it helps drive the point home. Fact is, a lot of these super fat people around really do try to lose weight, to get their obesity under control or actually behind them but they fail. The fact is that they get in cycles in which it's very difficult to control their appetites. If you have certain eating proclivities you can have compulsions, actual physical need to eat even if you have already eaten a lot more than you're burning off in physical activity and just baseline calorie needs. I think a great many of these people, probably the majority grew up in households where bad eating habits prevailed from day one.
That Sugar Film
I highly recommend seeing Fed Up, which was narrated by Katie Couric, IIRC, who in my mind is about the coolest network news anchor ever, at least in recent times.
