New studies show that Obesity is rising at an alarming rate in New York

[Kyle C. Barker]

That's actually way better than the national average


FastStats

Percent of adults aged 20 and over with obesity: 42.5% (2017-2018)
Percent of adults aged 20 and over with overweight, including obesity: 73.6% (2017-2018)

We put high fructose corn syrup in everything, once we as a nation stop putting crack cocaine in our food we will see a sharp drop in obesity

Rent is too damn expensive. Folk eating bad and cheaper food options as a result.

Can't exercise because your already too damn busy. Besides, you can't have a good workout regime when you taking pics for clout...it's unsanitary

 

[concise]

too many ppl stuck at home ordering grubhub, uber eats, and doordash all day long

That's no excuse. Grab a jump rope. Run in place. Do some jumping jacks. Do some push ups. Eat less.

It’s a factual statement it’s not an excuse. There’s a percentage of the population that put in miles a day getting to from and around work that are still working from home now. There’s an impact to that.

Except there's been plenty of people who lost weight during lockdown.

Nope, that’s a cop out. Motherfukkas are just plain lazy.

As a New Yorker, this is actually surprising. I will say in Manhattan everybody seems to be in shape while in the outer boroughs, flabby people are more common.

Sidenote this is why Cali will always be better. You can train outside year round in a lot of California. Living in new York you tend to hibernate more in the winter

Actually in NY it's easier to exercise outside in the winter than in the summer, well for cardio at least. Doing cardio outside in NYC humidity


Me personally, I love going for long walks but only in the spring/fall/winter. Even walking short distances in NYC humidity can be miserable.

 

[Captain Crunch]

I got a hundred chopped cheese and chips, bytch I'm from New York New York

 

[360dagod]

The pandemic is keeping a lot of folks from walking as much in NY.

nikkas is flat lazy...this is an absolute fact

I can go to central park now and get someone's grandma/grandpa to dust up someone half their age in any type of cardio...

Nah, the more crap your diet, the harder you make it on yourself working out. Diet is like 80% of the battle. I been losing water weight so far, I gotta weight myself again and see where I'm at.

I think that diet is more like 50%, because at some point your body will just stop losing weight if it assumes that it is starving. The rebound to that people will engage in overeating when the diet is over, which is why people end up being fatter after ending a diet.

The actual key to weight loss is to diet in conjunction with cardio and some kind resistance training. The resistance training is necessary, because muscle burns fat. Cardio also burns fat. To lose weight a person has to burn more calories then they consume and weight training (resistance) is really good at helping people do that even though initially a person may gain weight due to increased food consumption to offset the calorie burn.

The problem with people in this country is that they overeat. People don't even eat to quell hunger. They actually eat just eat, because many times they are not even hungry when they eat. Then to make matters worse they eat a bunch of calorie rich foods full of sugars and fats, rather than just grabbing apples, oranges or bananas to snack on. It is just a bad cycle, but if people truly wanted to lose weight then they should just eat eat a small breakfast; a big lunch and then snack on fruit for dinner or when they need a snack. I have never seen a person getting fat that snacked on fruits all day. Don't ask me how I know this stuff.
