An embarrassment

Black men have the second lowest obesity rate after Asian men so we ain’t that bad but Sisters...

By far Black women have the highest rates when factoring both genders of any race. This is a real bad look and only confirms what people would say. The “stereotypes” were true all along.

A lot of the younger Black women do workout a lot but I think it’s the middle age Black women that make up a lot of this data. They are some of the most unhealthiest ones...watch them blame stress

What’s are the stereotypes?

The Modern/western diet isn’t for black ppl

It's happening all over the globe wherever black people have access to western diets: US, Europe, Africa,...

I’m sure the younger Black women have kids also yet somehow they find a way to stay in shape . I can find 100 in shape young black women on IG now that are all single mothers. But middle age Black women don’t follow their lead and walk around as if they wanna be short and box shaped like the Mexican women

IG is not a good sample. A lot of young black women are fat/overweight aka "fake thick".

I know a lot of young black women that stay posting pictures in the gym with their leggings on. But they are still overweight, but since they have big round asses and big t*ts and pretty faces, cats give them a pass.

When they get older, they lose that toned look and became super flabby.

We didn’t have stats before though

We did..

People remember a time when everyone was slim and the fat were a tiny minority.

It’s all mental. It’s actually cheaper to eat better. I use to eat when I was bored or mad or to celebrate. I had to reprogram myself after my last pregnancy. I am really picky about what I eat. I don’t eat fast food any more(I miss Chick-fil-A ). I eat less than 50 carbs. I feel like . I do a light 2 mi walk at work. At first it was hard but after 2 weeks I stop craving bullshyt food and I found myself having to force myself to eat.

and having kids is all the more reason the figure out healthy eating habits because if you’re putting bullshyt in your body chances are you also putting the same bullshyt in your kids and they don’t have a choice.

Setting them up for failure and an unhealthy lifestyle for the rest of their lives probably.

The only reason I don’t judge as hard is because like other people have already said, food addiction is a real thing and I would say food is the primary vice of most black women, usually paired with alcohol and/or weed (which compound the issue.)

I don't wanna hear that stress BS because alot of people out here in this world deal with stress and they're not all obese either so enough with that excuse.

People who're fat/obese is mainly because of their LOVE of food (shyt I don't blame em) & lack of physical activity (outside of work) to the point they overeat and forget that all of that extreme eating while tasty has it's on side effects and weight gain is one of them.

It's that simple...there's no need for the over the top gymnastic excuses.

Black men still suffer from more heart attacks and strokes though.

You don’t have to be that big to have type 2 DM

We didn’t have stats before though

YOU DIDNT NEED THEM, AND YOU STILL DON'T

YOUR MIND WAS MADE UP BEFORE YOU FOUND THIS ARTICLE

 

[AAKing23]

So the majority of black women are fat while the majority of black men are not

Makes sense with what I see out here, even the younger chicks be big af these days. Weight is my first disqualifier with a chick so off the jump alot of BW are eliminated from my dating pool unfortunately.

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

u nikkas better get in shape.

it's not a game

 

[Armchair Militant]

There’s no excuse for this. Don’t blame black men or stress. Stop fukking stuffing your mouth.

The number for black men is terrible too.

 

[phcitywarrior]

The American diet isn’t for black ppl

This. We should bush dairy.

Too much processed foods. Not enough veggies and fiber

 

[Pillowysoft83]

Black men still have the highest deaths from cardiac arrest and strokes. I count seven black men under the age of 40 that died of heart attacks...only one was considered obese. Definitely have to cut the alcoholic into intake and processed foods. Most black men are pretty active so thats good. Monitor that blood pressure and cut back alcohol intake.

 

[BlackJesus]

Stress is exactly what it is though... I bet a great majority of the black women that are obese are single mothers. It's kind of hard to work out and cook nutritious meals when you have to hold sh1t down by your self.

Its their fault for being single mothers in the first place. They decided to have the kid
