Immediate vs future happiness
get regular exercise and be both. Literally like 40% of my motivation for staying active is that it lets me eat more.
you cannot exercise your way out of a bad diet is the general advise. a snickers bar is 73 calories and to burn 100 calories you have to run a 10 minute mile.
you simply can accumulate calories at a way faster rate than you can reasonably exercise.

That’s a good point but it’s also important to note that a Snickers bar has much less nutritional value than the cheeseburger shown in the original image. So if you’re training for a marathon or something, you can totally get away with a cheeseburger every night, but not the equivalent amount of snickers (you will feel like absolute shite)
i think that’s technically true but reductive, you will continue to burn calories at a higher rate for quite a while after any reasonably strenous exercise and as you get stronger it becomes easier to burn more calories, thus letting you increase your daily calorie budget.
I’m not saying that five minutes of cardio will suddenly let you eat 5 cakes, but have you seen the diets that weightlifters keep? with a lot of muscle and frequent heavy exercise you can burn such an amount of calories every day that eating 3 pizzas is a good starter course.
Also we aren’t talking about a bad diet, just eating a bit too much. Of course exercise isn’t going to fix you eating snickers instead of vegetables but it will absolutely fix eating one too many burgers.
That’s it. If you’re bulking eating 3k calories a day is normal. The more muscle you get, the more you have to eat to maintain your form(or eat less to effectively burn body fat). Of course, you want to eat healthy, meaning that eating 3 burgers a day is probably not the best thing, since it has a lot of fat in it.
fat isn’t unhealthy, it’s just calorie dense. The only issue i see with eating 3 burgers per day is that you should be eating a varied diet to make sure you don’t get too little or too much of any one nutrient or potential toxin. Plus burgers have too much meat compared to the amount of greens…
and honestly 3 burgers per day is a completely normal amount of food, too little if anything. Even with fries that’s about as much as most people would eat in a day.
but really “eating healthy” is basically just a matter of not eating a significant amount of sugar and getting as much greens as possible, making sure 90% of what you consume is home-made (even if that includes quite a lot of pastries) is pretty fool-proof. Just make your own burgers and add some more lettuce.
Wait, what? No one told me about that.
Skinny = long happy Nomnomnom = short happy
Continuous nomnomnomnomnomnomnomnoms… = longer happy
In Las Vegas, we have a local chain called SkinnyFats that has two menus, a “healthy” menu and a “happy” menu
I alternate back-and-forth, so that I’m never truly skinny, nor truly happy.
Or maybe just stop overeating? It’s way less about what you eat than it is about how much you eat.
no it’s very much about what you eat, if you put a bunch of greens in your food you’ll feel satisfied much faster and for longer.
No! You have to count every calorie meticulously, swap every meal for boring salad and run ten miles every day!
I’m way too busy to do any of that, I get chronic hunger pains before bed and I’m also a super taster which means anything but KFC, donuts and coca cola is super unpalatable to me!
How dare you insinuate that I’m obese because I can’t just eat a little less, you don’t know my body, my will power is actually amazing except when it comes to putting down the fork! Eating a bit less is extremely hard you fucking fat hater!
ypur comment does read like something from /r/fatpeoplehate
I would encourage you to be more empathetic towards people strugglong with weight issues, or at least be less of a dick about it, that doesn’t help amyone
I don’t hate fat people. I hate excuses and I hate greed. People who are overweight are typically masters of excuses, it’s very rarely their own fault.
I’m a bigger dude and it’s completely my own fault and lack of self control :)
Thank you for being honest
whatever you need to tell yourself I guess
Switch to things with more protein, it keeps you sated with fewer calories. Count calories, not too torture yourself, but to train yourself to make better choices. Do a few simple strength exercises every day, to build muscle and to stay motivated.

Steak is great and it’s good for you. I love mine cooked in ghee and heavily salted
lol except studies are more and more showing that red meat is actually not particularly good for you, and steaks are quite possibly the least ethical thing to eat.
Depends which studies you look at. There’s studies to support vegetarian diet is the healthiest, same for omnivore and same for carnivore. Even MDs can’t come to an agreement.
Only if you accept a premise of animal life mattering and/or sacrificing enjoyment for the climate
I lost 35lbs eating burgers and pizza. These things aren’t mutually exclusive. The fact that people think they are is a testament to how poor health education is.
I’m very happy.
My heart is full
of cholesterol
but why?
I’m too skinny. (96-98LBS at 19Y/5’4")
Can I have Happy?
Always go for happy, skinny is just a bonus
2 won’t do …lol
Name one ingredient in that burger that is unhealthy. Bread? Meat? Cheese? Greens? Half a teaspoon of ketchup? Just check your caloric intake and eat whatever the heck you want.
That amount of downvotes you’re getting because fat people hate hearing that “yes, you could just eat a bit less!”
Your bodyweight is 100% correlated to the amount of calories you consume/burn. Eat less calories than your base metabolic rate and you could lose weight on a diet of pizza and just sitting on the sofa all day!
Bread - processed crap with minimal micronutrients, preservatives and coloring agent (for nice white flour /s)
There doesn’t really exist an “healthy” or “unhealthy” food, it’s just about your eating habits…
I would say deep fried Oreos are pretty unhealthy
dear god that is a cursed food
There is clearly a benefit to a balanced diet, but when it comes to weight loss, calories is the only thing that matters.
Reminds me of the dog learning what fat is.
