How the hell can 50% of Americans be overweight????

I bust my ass trying to be lazy and all I do is eat and sleep yet I can't gain a single pound. And then 50% of Americans eat a piece of cheesecake and put on 100 lbs. Those of you who have a few extra pounds and aren't shy about it, how about sharing your secret? 😛

it'll all catch up w/ you when you are 25-30 and you'll have a gut bigger than texas
 
You have to realize 50% of Americans are in the middle-aged years. During that time period, metabolism decreases dramatically. Also, technology has taken over jobs that required hard labor.
 
its cause (according to your picture), asian. If you notice there arent that many fat asian people....at least i havent seen any...must be genetics 🙂

Me too. Except my parents are both overweight, so I can't take it for granted.

Two words. Sumo Wrestlers.

Asians have long waists. Ever notice? I'll be watching asian women at the gym or on tv, men and women are slender with long waists. You know what I'm saying?
 
the secret is laura scudders peanut butter mixed with crisco served on heavilly buttered toat with mayonaise and bacon.

that is so true
I used to be hoeboy, work hard to be lazy, and won't get a single pound.
once i hit 24, some of those beer plus pizza after beer
now i work hard try to get ride the gut
and still working on that today
 
Actually all the Asians (male) I have seen are either overweight or underweight, there aren't that many male Asians who are normal weight, I guess it must be genetics!

Wouldn't that only make sense? Say there's some perfect weight for each person, I mean EXACT weight. None of us are actually going to weight that EXACT amount, so 50% of us should be under it and 50% sould be over it.
 
well generally home diet for asians is pretty low fat😛 its been changing of course, just look at china. thanks to mr ronald mcdonald chinas having a problem with fat kids😛 that and parents spoiling their single child heh.

well that and look at the new mcdonalds food sizes.. portions are going outa wack big time. Portions in the past were much smaller.. now a super size comes with some insane 64oz? drink that probably packs ~700 calories alone😛 i eat the regular medium sized mcvalue meal and i'm already damn full. i dunno how anyone can eat a super size or large size😛

well, it depends on whether the median weight could still be consider unhealthy😛 that part doesn't change. theres a range for normal weight, you don't get classified as obese until you pass a pretty generous range😛

People used to say that to me. Then, when I was in my twenties, they said &quot;wait until you're in your thirties.&quot; Then, when I was in my thirties, they said &quot;wait until you're in your forties.&quot;

Well, now I'm in my mid-forties, and I'm still waiting.

and then it means you die Russ?? I guess that's why the people you know won't tell you to wait until you're fifty! 🙂

Oh well, some people got it and some people don't! 🙁
 
the sad thing is i aint even on an asian diet. i rarely eat at home. i either eat out or eat american junk food. is there such a thing as reverse liposuction? 😉
 
The few fat asians that exist usually have parents that work in restaurants. I think it's because the parents are trying to over compensate for the fact that they are always working and never around -- so they push food as a substitute.
