http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/whole-grains/NU00204 Those grains give you hypoglycemia and are harder to digest websites also list rice and legumes, so wheat's not going to hurt you there. Whole wheat's probably better for you. If you eat too much grains, then maybe the problem is you're eating too much food? Concentrate just means it was concentrated and then mixed with water. Usually if it's 100% juice I assume it's 100% juice. In cocktails, if you check the ingredients it will have a bunch of other stuff, usually including corn syrup. | ||

Lack of willpower/discipline 3. Lack of knowledge about how to lose weight 4. Lack of resources (can only afford cheap bad food, no time for exercise, no access to things necessary for exercise) 5. Genetics And I agree with sadistx's assessment 3 and 4 don't really qualify. Everyone knows to lose weight they should eat less and exercise more. As for the cost of food, its a lot cheaper to buy a dozen apples than a bag of chips. Fruit and vegetables are cheap alternatives to a lot of snack food and can help save money by combining them with meals instead of other sides that people might be having. | ||

Eating less and exercising more is not a good general rule to apply when trying to lose weight. "Eat less" is so vague it's stupid to follow that advice. | ||

I think there is a lot of recent research which suggests that reducing calories is more important to worry about than what type of food you are eating... although I think the general rules of thumb about how to eat a healthy, balanced diet still apply. Whole grains are ok I think although some breads are pretty bad for you. Avoiding soft drinks except as a special occasion is a great idea. I bought a brita filter to ensure I have cold, fresh water in my fridge and i go through a 64 oz container of apple juice ever other week instead of two per week. | ||

1. Ignorance 2. Lazieness 3. Bad Habits Lol @ anyone who is overweight and still drinks full sugar soft drinks. Just have water or something? I don't even like that soda that much because I didnt' drink it much as a kid so I guess that's easy for me to say. Also, when possible eat the most natural foods available. ie: They exist in nature and haven't been processed, I think that is generally going to steer you towards the healtheir option. | ||

How many calories should you stop eating? What foods should you stop eating to reduce your intake? How should you exercise? Do you know about glycemic index and does it make a difference? Which fats are ok to eat? When should I exercise? Should I exercise on an empty stomach? How often should I eat to influence my metabolism? Most people don't know how to answer these questions. That's why they're fat. Weight loss isn't simple and I'm sure most people who have tried to lose weight will tell you that. Saying you should reduce your intake of calories and exercise is not good advice. | ||

That is just plain wrong. Genetics does not have a lot to do with it. Go back a hundred years and we did not have an obesity problem. If genetics has a lot to do with being fat then this wouldnt be a recent problem in our society. It is an eating and exercise problem. | ||

Fruit and vegetables are cheap alternatives to a lot of snack food and can help save money by combining them with meals instead of other sides that people might be having. I agree most people know to eat less and exercise more but (1) they're confused with a lot of misinformation and (2) their chances of success are significantly higher with more detailed knowledge. There are a million stupid ways to eat less and a million claims about what's good for weight loss that are bullshit. Getting sidetracked with bullshit and/or misusing basic principles of weight loss are two major reasons why people stay fat and they're best categorized as lack of knowledge about how to lose weight. Yeah, apples are generally cheap. But the cost of healthy food per calorie is generally more expensive than the cost of unhealthy food per calorie. And even if apples vs chips holds up on a calorie comparison, that's not representative of most of the exchanges people will be making. Cheap foods taste good because they're loaded with sugar and fat. They've got a lot of calories. You can make up ground by exchanging for foods from cheaper producers, foods you've got to cook yourself, and foods that are less palatable, but then it's not a fair comparison. Oh and forget about poor people taking any supplements. If their tap water is shitty, you might even forget about them drinking much water. The only hope is that the weight loss plan includes a reduction of overall calories so even though calories will be more expensive, food will still cost about the same. | ||

I'm not saying its the only factor, and yes, we didn't have coke or KFC or high fructose whachamacallit, but there's a reason why so many people dont get fat despite bad eating habits, while others can be total health freaks and still be freaking gaining weight. | ||

They stopped sometime in June, probably because it was really expensive to make. (Marketed it as limited time only) Also interesting to note that Coke made a Kosher Coke for Passover. I avoid HFCS at all costs personally. Probably a big reason why I've dropped mad weight. They also made and marketed their own Julmust (a cola-like drink exclusive to christmas in Sweden, Jul = christmas) because they dropped to 10% of their regular cola sales during December. (Yes, everyone buys Julmust instead. On a second note, not all countries produce Cola with HFCS, I even heard stories about some americans in California that would import all their cola from mexico, because that cola used real sugar cane sugar, being more healthy and tasty. Reportedly all Swedish cola is made with the sugar from sugarbeets anyway, so we dont need to worry. At least not about the HFCS part. | ||
