so letting them become unhealthy and dying off and passing these eating habits and bad health to our children is the better way to do it :jbhmm:





to answer the question... take your woman to the gym... invite her friends along too.. if you got homies that's going to the gym, tell them to invite their women too


there's nothing i see more uplifting than coming to the gym in the morning and watching couples come in and work out together


they will look better, feel better, live longer, sex is better, and it's a good way to blow off steam and spend time together

Let's keep it 100%, you fake ass militants don't give a f_ck about Black Women and I've seen plenty of fat ass Americans of all races. Come down South and you'll see plenty of fat Americans in fried chicken places, not just Black Women.

This was a diss to Black Women. Don't lie. This forum hates Black Women.

This is a forum of predominantly black people. Why would we talk about tackling issues outside of our community huh? :jbhmm:

Special Report: Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Obesity

Obesity is a big problem in the black community and with black women in particular. Leave your feelings out of this.

As for Black women working out it's gotten better about 10 years ago it was rare for me to see a Black woman in the gym now I'm starting to see it more often. I will definitely say White women tend to take care of their bodies better once they get over the age of 30
20. I live in the vicinity of an HBCU and FSU. I never see sisters out running. By FSU. These white girls do not play with their fitness

This exactly what CACS want is nikkas like you to deflect and deny the truth so the problem grows larger and goes unchecked. :comeon:

Truth. I wasn't seeing any sisters at FAMU running every day like them cacs at FSU when I was going to school there.

But it's demographics. Being from Miami black women be in the gym, running all of the above. I think mainly because South FL is very superficial.

who needs a gym when u can throw on a waist trainer and drink some fit tea or get that dr miami stimulus package:troll:


That IG hustle. In all seriousness though, it's chicks out here of all races that's have weight problems it isn't just black women. I don't understand what those waist trainers do and they seem to be a lazy alternative to exercise. Also, long term use of waist trainers fukk up organs.

But on the real tho this is a problem. First let's look at the stats and clear the air.
Blk women aren't the most obese demographic in America. This is one of those areas where blks have been bamboozled by faulty research.

Obesity stats are reported based on BMI which has been cited as ridiculously inaccurate as a measure of obesity across different ethnicities. When more accurate measures are applied, it is found that white women and Hispanic women actually have higher rates of obesity than blk women do.

How is this possible? Well because blk women actually build more muscle and store fat in different areas than non-blk women. However BMI doesn't account for this. So you have legitimately thick (not fat pretending to be thick) blk women being counted as obese when they actually aren't which skews obesity reportings.

The literature indicates that waist to hip ratio is more accurate as a measure of obesity and when these measurements are applied to various ethnicities...the reported obesity rates for the prospective races indicated that white and Hispanic women were actually fatter. But racist media will loudly lie about blk women but quietly disclose the truth in obscure studies.

So am I saying that blk women aren't obese. Nope! There is a lot of work that needs to be done. But the c00n brehs using racist myths to dismiss or ridicule ur own race of women can sit down and focus ur efforts towards ur spicy Latinas or portly PAWGs and leave blk women's name out cho mouth. Thanks.
Just in case u think I'm lying or trying to make excuses, go read a few peer reviewed studies on the matter here:
Accuracy of current body mass index obesity classification for white, black and Hispanic reproductive-age women

"Obesity as classified by the NIH (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) and WHO (%BF >35%) identified 205 (36.9%) and 350 (63.1%) of the women as obese, respectively. NIH defined obesity cutoff values had 47.8%, 75.0% and 53.9% sensitivity in white, black and Hispanic women, respectively. White and Hispanic women had 2.9% greater %BF than black women for a given BMI."

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090611142407.htm

"Widely Used Body Fat Measurements Overestimate Fatness In African-Americans, Study Finds"


AJCN | Mobile
"Because most equations that predict relative body fat were derived from predominantly white samples, biological variation between the races in these body-composition indexes has practical significance. Systematic error can result in the inaccurate estimation of the relative body fat of blacks, and therefore of definitions of obesity, if these inherent differences are ignored." Dayum... they not the fattest...geez what other lies have been forced down blk dude's throats. Pretty soon these c00ns gon run out of excuses to worship other races!


But even tho we ain't the fattest, it's not saying much cuz we still overall as a nation big as hell AND UNHEALTHY.

And interesting enough (my descriptive stats class is what brought all this to my attention) exercise actually isn't the most pertinent variable in this issue.

Food is the bigger issue. And the following variables contribute more towards obesity and the health issues linked with it than exercise does:

1.) Processed calorie dense foods that actually make you eat more while still feeling hungry even tho u took in 1000 calories in that small ass burger.
2.) Chemical warfare in our foods which cause cravings and other diseases
3.) A culture of fast food
4.) Fad diets (take the easy way out and fukk up ur metabolism and bloat the hell up when u can't sustain that shyt)
5.) Depression and emotional eating
6.) The myth of the expensive health food vs cheap fast food. (Add that shyt up. Fast food and take out is waaaay more expensive than buying groceries and preparing food at home.)

You can exercise all day long and at best you'll end up looking like a damn linebacker if ur diet is shytty. Nikkas drafting yo ass for their fantasy football leagues and shyt.
That's not to say u shouldn't exercise, because u should but obesity can't be addressed primarily from an exercise perspective. Food choices are the larger factor.
Solution: blk women we gotta cook more healthy unprocessed meals from scratch.

And trust me I know it's easier said than done. But self-improvement is a never ending process! Speaking of which...this thread making me hungry now...
