So Jamaican food is bad for you? Breh calorie counts Jamaican food. I am weeping

Pretty much why if I eat out, its Mediterranean or something similarly healthy with high protein. Home meals average 50+ grams of protein without issue and the fats I use are Olive Oil, Duck Fat, Avocado oil, or Irish kerrygold butter/grassfed goat butter. Most of my fats come from whatever fish though. These carb loaded meals don't appeal to me but 1-2 times a year.

I eat Jamaican food because I was raised off it and it bangs. I don't eat it to get into the best shape of my life.

I feel like a lot of our communities haven't adapted yet our cooking and eating practices to decreased levels of daily physical activity

It'll take a conscious effort like that brother is doing in the video imo

Hot climate country, though. You sweat off weight when you're outside going about your daily activities.

Trying to keep the same diet after moving to a four season climate country can potentially cause more problems. In addition to the food being more processed in the West.

All fats aren't unhealthy.

Fats from butter, ghee, olive oil, and even fresh lard are not unhealthy.

It's the seed oil fats from corn oil, peanut oil, and vegetable oil that are not good at all.

It's also the amount of fat you consume in relation to your energy expenditure. Jamaican cuisine was developed for people doing manual labor all day in scorching heat, that's why its very calorie dense. If you're sedantary, one meal almost equals your daily calorie need.

Lack of physical exercise has more to do with it. Gym culture, running, etc is not big in Jamaica at all. Outside of hs kids training.

More context is that Jamaica had the highest mortality rate in Caribbean slave societies only second to Haiti. Folks used to die in the fields regularly due to being overworked, as well as breaks being minimal. So caloric density needed to be exponentially higher.
