If you see someone overweight outside or at the gym, please don't make fun of them for trying to change what they are doing with their health. And even more, if you see anyone, dont make fun of them.
2.5 hours of exercise a week isn't that hard to achieve. You just need to find the physical activity (or better: activities) that fits best in your schedule or the ones you like the best. Choosing active modes of transportation like bicycles is often enough to meet that goal. Otherwise, picking a sport you like makes it much easier to stay motivated. If you can't find any time to do sport in your busy day, remember that even a really short 5 to 10 minutes exercise sessions is enough to make a difference; even really busy people can usually find a few minutes of down time here and there for jumping jacks. In any case, remember that the benefits of physical activity goes far beyond its effect on weight and I'm not just talking about long term effects like lower rates of heart disease and cancer. A moderate amount of physical activity everyday has an immediate positive effect on moods; it provides an immediate relief from symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress; and it even helps prevent depression, anxiety and low self esteem overtime. In other words, being physically active literally makes us happier. Physical activity shouldn't be treated just like something we do because it makes us fitter and more attractive, it's a basic need.
I feel like the average person has at least 4 extra spare hours a day, and the whole weekend to themselves so it is not like their is really an excuse for "busy people" because honestly they are only really a few busy people.
Ironically, if you're really so busy that finding time for sport is difficult, then you would probably benefit the most from the stress relief it provides. Just do jumping jacks for 10 minutes. You will thank me latter.
+TheGhost Im allergic to gluten also. I get a bunch of bumps on my body. It's not too noticeable but people always mention it and I feel kind of uncomfortable. but anyway Im addicted to Dr. Pepper and I still work out yet I still need to lose a few pounds. I try so hard to lose the weight and I have lost some weight but I wouldn't call myself skinny. The ultimate solution to my problem is to never drink it, but this is so hard to do.
I was an overweight as a teenager but in my early 20s I changed my lifestyle and have been thin for nearly a decade. So it's defiantly possible. Though I recommend if you are overweight and in your 20s or less loose weight now, youth makes losing weight a lot easier.
Hey animators by Kozmonot Animation Studios, I don't know who did it or if it was only one person, but it was great, great job! I don't know why but it looked so good
I hate how America romanticizes obesity. like "my fat fabulous life" and "honey boo boo". obesity is not healthy. it is not natural. people need to take better care of themselves.
It's not America itself, it's the media and people who look at looks before health. I couldn't care less what you LOOK like but if you are unhealthy, you shouldn't be advertising that!
@@ryobaaishi9968 Find some kind of body movement that you love and incorporate it as a habit. It may help (it's actually been proven that physical excercise promotes endorphin, serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine synthesis). Wish you good luck.
@@ryobaaishi9968 idk if this can help you or even motivate you but I have a friend who goes to the same gym as me and she has depression. After almost two years, she confessed to me she now feels a lot better than before
They didn't mention that there's two kinds of body fat: Visceral, which forms around organs underneath the muscles and causes the famous beer belly as well as many of the fat related health issues we know of; and subcutaneous, which forms underneath the skin and is what most people think of when they hear the word fat. The latter of the two actually has little to no proven affect on an individual's overall health. Also, the maker of the BMI scale never intended it to be used on individuals, but instead as a national average system, partly because of the flaws it has on the individual level addressed in the video. P.S. for the haters: I'm 6'2" and 150lb, so you can't shame me as some fat guy who just hates exercise.
There's a lot of overweight people who are obese because of overgrowth of Candida Albicans fungus in the intestines; usually caused by antibiotics. Antibiotics kill bacteria (both good and bad), which allows Candida to flourish. If you are overweight, make sure you have ruled out candida overgrowth. If you have Candida overgrowth, Turmeric Powder kills it pretty quick. But you will need to take prebiotics/probiotics to re-inoculate the good bacteria.
Normally true. But Candida overgrowth produces toxins which affect the thyroid, reducing metabolism. If you have the infection, you will gain weight even if you eat healthy.
+JR Rahman I don't see super obese people like in Usa or Europe in developing countries or Asia. In my country Vietnam, we have never seen or record people weighting over 120kg or more like with White population despite medical conditions. So don't make up excuse for bad food choices.
I am not making excuses. I am just stating a medical condition which also causes weight gain. And yes, it is more of an issue in the west because for a long time, antibiotics were over prescribed. In addition to cattle and poultry being heavily injected with antibiotics in the west but not in developing countries. You eat that meat, you get the antibiotics. It has gotten so bad that the water supply of many cities is full of prescription medication. The water treatment plants don't remove medicines that people urinate. Does everyone who is obese have fungal problems? no. That is why I stated you should rule out if candida is an issue. Lifestyle and diet is a major issue. But it's not the only issue.
I don't get it. I don't even eat that much. I doubt I exceed 2,000 calories a day, yet I'm rarely hungry. I rarely drink alcohol and almost never touch soda. It's mainly just water and coffee for me.
Small snacks end up taking up a shit ton of calories. Always watch and count every single thing you eat and you'll see how much trash you really end up eating. I used to think just like you but I started counting
+Seth Moore don't just guess how much you eat, write it down every time to make sure. you'd be surprised how many calories companies can stuff in a handful of food.
BMI is a very useful average and there does need to be a lot of changes to address obesity, but it should be noted that it IS an average, and it does not account for muscle mass, which is much heavier than fat mass. Since I was always taller than my age group, and muscular from playing soccer and other sports, I was always listed as obese, even as a child. While I am slightly overweight now, I can certainly say I was not as a child and the BMI scale saying I was obese in the 4th grade upset me greatly and impacted how I saw my body.
I love your video, its very informative and well discuss. Let's listen to the experiences and perspectives of individuals living with obesity without judgment.
bullshit. I'm also 15 in a worse school system and i manage to go lift every day, maintain a healthy diet and get good grades. It's all about getting rid of distractions.
+Aymane Zerz you have no idea how bad my school system is,school starts at 7 and ends at 1 with a ten minute lunch break at half past 9. Then there's debate until half past three, math extra classes till 5 then I have to go home and study for tomorrow test, work on next weeks project and summarize today's work and do all the homework I got. On average the earliest I'll go to bed is 11pm and I have to wake up at 4am, if you are American and are calling BS you have no idea how other countries have it pal
I'm not american, i have to be at school at 8 and it dont matter cause i finish all my work before leaving to the gym and i come back home at 12 am and gotta wake up really early to cook myself protein rich breakfasts, lunchs and snacks. i didnt say it was easy, i just said it was possible.
wow the animation is so creative, I guess inspired from geometry shapes... its not just obesity that is a byproduct of evolution, also physical stress, once a response for survival, now we can be stressed out over anything.
it has been well established that excersize is not a weightloss cure, but rather that excersize is good for overall health. Though excersize is very important for our bodies, one should not consider it as a counter to weight issues.
Don't try to find a quick fix. Quick fixes don't help or work. The weight will come. Back. You have to change your lifestyle but don't be too hard on yourself or you might bounce back.
Who benefits from obesity? The economy does. All the food related sectors, most healthcare sectors, gyms and other weight loss equipment and support sectors, self help literature, self esteem and life coaches, clothing fabric manufacturers, mobility aids and medical lifting equipment, public health, even social media (indirectly)
^THIS! It makes no sense to judge anyone on a BMI scale that works well as a average of a major group of individuals, when you can judge individuals by looking the mirror.
NutmegPluto Which doesn't make any sense, since it is extremely unprecise, but pretty accurate. Just having a look gives a more precise, but maybe less accurate result, which is greater for the individual.
I'm obese. I've tried to change that for many years. I have Gastric Sleeve surgery, I'm still obese. The Doctors like to blame ALL my health issues on the "catch all" being obese.
If youre struggling to remedy the overeating, could it be an eating disorder? In which case, you need specialists for that. Your GP wont be much help there.
First regulate sugar content in commercial food products. At the very least, mandate food products with sugar content exceeding certain threshold warn about health impact in their commercials and packages like tobacco.
The way to do the bmi calculation is to divide your weight by multiplying your height twice. For example, if you weigh 60kg and your height is 1.5m, you can divide 60 by 1.5 times 1.5. That's about 26.6 and I'm obese. The calculation of obesity using BMI divides one's weight by the square of height, and the formula is kg/m2. If the BMI is 18.5 or lower, / if it is between 18.5 and 22.9, then it is normal / if it is between 23.0 and 24.9, then overweight / if it is above 25.0 and obese. For your information, I am a Korean, so please understand that there may be an error because I used a translator.
wow I'm non binary and this offends me a shit ton im gonna complain about this on tumblr and scream discrimination right now I can't even omg ugh ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
God! Why are there transphobes here!? Can't I enjoy one single video without bloody transphobes being in the comment sections!? I thought if I watched a video that had nothing to do with trans stuff then I could safely read the comments.... The bloody bigots are everywhere!
She didn't talk about how the type of food matters more than the calories they provide. E.g, whole wheat bread has fiber, which slows the release of the sugar into the bloodstream. Then, you can slowly burn it off and you don't get a sugar crash, unlike having it all be released at once. If it's all released at once, then the sugar overloads and the body is forced to produce insulin and turn it all into fat. Fat is a lot harder to burn, and afterwards you get a sugar crash.
Mia Nacamulli's lessons leave something to be desired. It's not that her information is wrong (which it frequently is) but her lessons often contradict. In this one,she mentions increasingly nutritious food as a catalyst for obesity in the early industrial age. Then, she says nutrient-poor foods are keeping us obese now.
At some point I'm already too afraid to advise an overweight person to cut off some of those adipose tissue without he or she being offended. The only way to raise awareness is to have a healthy body yourself and let your action speaks for itself, and it starts from you and me!
So when you train you must insure that your regiment becomes more intense overtime, otherwise the loss in weight will begin to become almost nonexistent??
If you want to keep loosing at a consistent rate basically. How much activity will depend on your own body though. It isn't just about how active but also how many calories you intake. You cant work out or an hour and then go scarf down at a buffet. For example I have not added much working out to schedule but I have become a little obsessive on how much I intake. Ive basically started thinking of calories as I would money and budget it the same way. Starting off I was loosing 3 pounds a week, now I'm to around half a pound a week. Key thing is to find something that works for you and stick to it.
Unless you are vegan... IN which case feel free to scarf down all the food you want! And might I add, still lose weight. If there is ever a diet where you find yourself "eating in moderation" there is clearly something wrong there, don't you think? Meanwhile I just had a whole box of pasta for dinner :) and no. I am not one of those girls that can eat whatever they want and still be skinny on an animal based diet... give it a try! A month or two, and see how you feel! All the fruit, vegetables, pasta, rice, potatoes, etc you care for ;)
Claire Dillon Hate to burst your bubble but just by being vegan its not a miracle where you can eat as much as you want. A person can and WILL still gain weight by over eating if they don't watch how much they are consuming. People who over do it with pastas, starches and fatty foods like nuts and chips are the worst at risk. For a while I was making this mistake. I am not starving myself at all but by keeping track of what the "calorie cost" each thing has I'm eating healthier by swapping out foods with healthier alternatives, or healthier ingredients, so I'm making smarter choices. Like today before I started keeping track of my food I would have gotten food at Taco Bell and it would have been near 900 calories for just one meal with a burrito, nacho's and Mountain Dew. Instead today I had Coke Zero, a spicy chicken panini with banana chips for around 600. For breakfast instead of a sausage egg and cheese croissant sandwich(600 calories), I had 2 english muffins with low sugar apple jelly(220 calories). I don't want you think I find anything wrong with being vegan, as I said everyone has to find what works for them but a blanket statement like "Unless you are vegan... IN which case feel free to scarf down all the food you want!" can be bad as some people can go a little extreme. After all sugar and fats are wired into our brains to be addicting like a drug.
+Claire Dillon Sorry, but no. You're saying that I could theoretically eat nothing but donuts and sweets (which are vegan!), and still lose weight? What you're saying violates the basic laws of thermodynamics, and will not help anyone.
I'm moving to Colorado, they have the lowest Obesity Rate 20.4! Maybe moving won't fix obesity but at least I'll be happier ; ) Great Explanation guys!
if you're already a healthy individual then carefully moderating calorie intake will keep you healthy. if you're unhealthy(obese) then moderating calories can only do so much. having muscle increases BMR since you'll be requiring more energy to keep your current physic, however if you don't exercise the body will break down muscle to remain efficient. why commit resources to something you aren't using(body logic).
It sucks having a low BMI in the United States. Literally 2/3's of the country is overweight or obese, so anyone in the high part of the "healthy" range is considered skinny. Anyone in the low part is considered anorexic.
You know sometimes I look at myself and think that I'm fat and I do have a bit of a belly. But then I look at the USA and feel like an athlete instantly. :)
This video, just like a recent one from Vox is poor at explaining the topic suggested by the title. Are people obese because they eat junk food (processed) or is it due to lack of exercise? And which is more important?
I eat 5+ times a day (besides my dessert and other small meals) but I'm still thin (not skeleton thin but ectomorph kind of thin). Docotors have got it all wrong - there are several factors that cause obesity besides overeating... I am a living witness (and no, I don't have HIV)
Can all anti-feminists in the comment section stop spamming.... Seriously, you guys are (at least here) a bigger problem than the things you're 'fighting' against.
If you see someone overweight outside or at the gym, please don't make fun of them for trying to change what they are doing with their health. And even more, if you see anyone, dont make fun of them.

^THIS! It makes no sense to judge anyone on a BMI scale that works well as a average of a major group of individuals, when you can judge individuals by looking the mirror.

It is a guideline used by doctors, if you have a high BMI you are probably too fat or have a large amount of muscle.

+Jason your sarcasm detector must be broken
+Jason How can you not tell he's being sarcastic you dumbass?
+Table Salt will you stop with that racist overtone? smh
+Table Salt does that mean it is still an appropriate word to use
Gonna write an essay about this. Love that😑
Does anyone find those animations usefull? I find them distracting tbh.
That's what I was thinking how can I concentrate with Pac-man running around. LOL
its to make the video more interesting. perhaps you would like watch a REAL person talk about obesity? watching his lips go up and down?
it's more entertaining. I watch this while eating my cereal
+She Dragon lol
The animation is distracting, but the message is clear. If you watch it again, just don't watch the animation and just listen to it.
guys who made animation you are amazing! just wow
The way to do the bmi calculation is to divide your weight by multiplying your height twice.
For example, if you weigh 60kg and your height is 1.5m, you can divide 60 by 1.5 times 1.5. That's about 26.6 and I'm obese.
The calculation of obesity using BMI divides one's weight by the square of height, and the formula is kg/m2. If the BMI is 18.5 or lower, / if it is between 18.5 and 22.9, then it is normal / if it is between 23.0 and 24.9, then overweight / if it is above 25.0 and obese.
For your information, I am a Korean, so please understand that there may be an error because I used a translator.
Is Obesity Bad?
@nicholastuckett4363 yes!!!!
It's bad for our health.
@@nicholastuckett4363This account is my another account.
Like the art direction, very Wassily Kandinsky.
I don't care about facts as much as my feel-feels. I'm healthy at every size. *eats 39 peanut butter sandwiches out of frustration*
NightGallows don't worry pumpkin, ur perfect, just like the -feminazis brainwashed me to tell you- empowering women persuaded me to tell you.
@@joshuatchou4915 yeah too underweight
Check the state of mind!
I feel like a lot of people focus on being overweight instead of underweight. Could you make a video on how to overcome high metabolism?
Great animation...There wasn't much new about this topic, but you still made it interesting
OH SHIT! THEY SHOWED ONLY TWO GENDERS! DUCK FOR COVER
-.- If they wanted to show all genders this video would had to be longer than 2 years...
There is only 2 genders.
*grabs popcorn*
how many were they supposed to show? :P
wow I'm non binary and this offends me a shit ton im gonna complain about this on tumblr and scream discrimination right now I can't even omg ugh
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
God! Why are there transphobes here!? Can't I enjoy one single video without bloody transphobes being in the comment sections!? I thought if I watched a video that had nothing to do with trans stuff then I could safely read the comments.... The bloody bigots are everywhere!
She didn't talk about how the type of food matters more than the calories they provide. E.g, whole wheat bread has fiber, which slows the release of the sugar into the bloodstream. Then, you can slowly burn it off and you don't get a sugar crash, unlike having it all be released at once. If it's all released at once, then the sugar overloads and the body is forced to produce insulin and turn it all into fat. Fat is a lot harder to burn, and afterwards you get a sugar crash.
TRIGGERED
LOL
_They are not _*_obese_*_, they are fattualy challenged_
😂😂😂
It is very sad. I am overweight. It hurts me so much. It caused my stiff neck and pseudomeningitis!!!!
I think it'd be nice if you could be able to make a video about anorexia nervosa. Therefore, we may understand both sides of the spectrum.
Mia Nacamulli's lessons leave something to be desired. It's not that her information is wrong (which it frequently is) but her lessons often contradict. In this one,she mentions increasingly nutritious food as a catalyst for obesity in the early industrial age. Then, she says nutrient-poor foods are keeping us obese now.
At some point I'm already too afraid to advise an overweight person to cut off some of those adipose tissue without he or she being offended. The only way to raise awareness is to have a healthy body yourself and let your action speaks for itself, and it starts from you and me!
I got that reference😉
ششكراً ي هاني ششكراً ي سارة 🏃🏻❤️
im literally eating cake while watching this how triggering
So when you train you must insure that your regiment becomes more intense overtime, otherwise the loss in weight will begin to become almost nonexistent??
If you want to keep loosing at a consistent rate basically. How much activity will depend on your own body though. It isn't just about how active but also how many calories you intake. You cant work out or an hour and then go scarf down at a buffet. For example I have not added much working out to schedule but I have become a little obsessive on how much I intake. Ive basically started thinking of calories as I would money and budget it the same way. Starting off I was loosing 3 pounds a week, now I'm to around half a pound a week. Key thing is to find something that works for you and stick to it.
Unless you are vegan... IN which case feel free to scarf down all the food you want! And might I add, still lose weight. If there is ever a diet where you find yourself "eating in moderation" there is clearly something wrong there, don't you think? Meanwhile I just had a whole box of pasta for dinner :) and no. I am not one of those girls that can eat whatever they want and still be skinny on an animal based diet... give it a try! A month or two, and see how you feel! All the fruit, vegetables, pasta, rice, potatoes, etc you care for ;)

Hate to burst your bubble but just by being vegan its not a miracle where you can eat as much as you want. A person can and WILL still gain weight by over eating if they don't watch how much they are consuming. People who over do it with pastas, starches and fatty foods like nuts and chips are the worst at risk. For a while I was making this mistake.
I am not starving myself at all but by keeping track of what the "calorie cost" each thing has I'm eating healthier by swapping out foods with healthier alternatives, or healthier ingredients, so I'm making smarter choices. Like today before I started keeping track of my food I would have gotten food at Taco Bell and it would have been near 900 calories for just one meal with a burrito, nacho's and Mountain Dew. Instead today I had Coke Zero, a spicy chicken panini with banana chips for around 600. For breakfast instead of a sausage egg and cheese croissant sandwich(600 calories), I had 2 english muffins with low sugar apple jelly(220 calories).
I don't want you think I find anything wrong with being vegan, as I said everyone has to find what works for them but a blanket statement like "Unless you are vegan... IN which case feel free to scarf down all the food you want!" can be bad as some people can go a little extreme. After all sugar and fats are wired into our brains to be addicting like a drug.
+Claire Dillon
Sorry, but no. You're saying that I could theoretically eat nothing but donuts and sweets (which are vegan!), and still lose weight? What you're saying violates the basic laws of thermodynamics, and will not help anyone.
That BMI thing is bunk, though
The BMI is so flawed. It doesn't take into account body type and structure
To be fair, that's pointed out almost at the start of the video.
SAYING YOU'RE FIRST IS JUST A CRY FOR ATTENTION!
exactly.
USING CAPS IS JUST A CRY FOR ATTENTION
+Cat You did it too and it is a way of getting a point across.
stop yelling
*NO*
Does playing sport for an hour count as exercise I am a kid and I got to the park and play football/soccer for an hour
Abby_Gamer sports = exercise
So much tasty food around + laziness = no work out for today too
I knew that was Pen-Pen Chen narrating from the way she pronounced the article "a".
Adam Thornton for me it’s the way she pronounces “str” or any syllable that starts with “r”.
Gotta love the pop art. Get these guys some ricecakes.
At 197 5 foot 6 I’m obese currently working to loose 50 pounds
The animations are good but also pretty distracting.
Very well animated!
I'm moving to Colorado, they have the lowest Obesity Rate 20.4!
Maybe moving won't fix obesity but at least I'll be happier ; )
Great Explanation guys!
Zeek Fit i live there :)
Idk about you, but I think this animation is so cool.
Exercise isn't that important compared to what food you eat
True
if you're already a healthy individual then carefully moderating calorie intake will keep you healthy. if you're unhealthy(obese) then moderating calories can only do so much. having muscle increases BMR since you'll be requiring more energy to keep your current physic, however if you don't exercise the body will break down muscle to remain efficient. why commit resources to something you aren't using(body logic).
A balance of both is necessary. Your body still needs exercise so you don’t start gaining weight when you are older. Hormonal changes do affect it.
It sucks having a low BMI in the United States. Literally 2/3's of the country is overweight or obese, so anyone in the high part of the "healthy" range is considered skinny. Anyone in the low part is considered anorexic.
You know sometimes I look at myself and think that I'm fat and I do have a bit of a belly. But then I look at the USA and feel like an athlete instantly. :)
JacktheRah damn right son.
never let a small beer belly get in your way if there's people weighing 5 times more then you on the planet.
Wow! these animations are true art.
the style would be cubism, right?
oh no here comes. the people who feel fat shamed
This video, just like a recent one from Vox is poor at explaining the topic suggested by the title. Are people obese because they eat junk food (processed) or is it due to lack of exercise? And which is more important?
I eat 5+ times a day (besides my dessert and other small meals) but I'm still thin (not skeleton thin but ectomorph kind of thin). Docotors have got it all wrong - there are several factors that cause obesity besides overeating... I am a living witness (and no, I don't have HIV)
Does food just slip through your body in a matter of seconds or something?
Acnedotal evidence isnt evidence
overeating+ unhealthy food + not doing exercises
Can you do another riddle??
i bet you're eat something as you watch this.
nope. I am slim as idk what and I am not eating anything right now...
Alex Stefanov
i and let "you're eat" slip by me.
the shame, the shame!
+Alex Stefanov (umnikos) same here
Yeah I am. Instant noodles
Shit...I'm eating candy
Beautiful animation
Can all anti-feminists in the comment section stop spamming.... Seriously, you guys are (at least here) a bigger problem than the things you're 'fighting' against.
i want to tell graphics are too bad. it makes my eyes tired
