It's often cheaper to buy fastfood than healthy food

I got fat af when I was piss broke. When I could start to afford things other than carbs, the lbs starting going away.

I get there are people even more broke who can't even afford rice, but don't assume that being fat and being poor run contrary to each other. Shit food is cheap.

Not really. The cheapest food is often loaded with fat and sugar

No, it makes you fat on a nice white carb and grease diet. Let's be realistic, we have calorie sufficiency in the developed world, it's malnutrition in the face of excess calories that is the problem.

Yeah, no.

First: eating strictly healthy is more expensive than eating trash.

Second: Time. Poor people tend to have less of it available, which means that it's harder to cook meals at home (which, in theory, should be cheaper to eat healthy). That same lake of time also makes exercise challenging.

Until you get to the point of poverty where you're risking starvation, poor people are more likely to be overweight than people that are in better circumstances.

Not really true, in fact starvation is so rare that for the first time in human history more people are dying of obesity related maladies than of starvation or deficiency of some kind.

The poor have never been so well fattened up in history, we've some the fuck how overcorrected, they're not failing to find bread anymore, they're taking to well note that the twinkies are cheaper for the calorie and more available at quantity for a standard sized family.

But, the poor people are the fattest ones.

OP is stuck in the XIXth century (which is valid, I'm not century shaming!).

You have to be really poor to lose weight because of it. Cheaper food is usually high in calories and low in nutrition.

I remember detoxing from alcohol and I could not even stand the smell of food for days and weeks. I felt like it will always be like that and I would never be able to eat more than 3 spoons a day. It felt like I would never have problems with my weight again.

So my weight loss tip is to just become an alcoholic and then stop drinking alcohol, you'll lose a crapton of weight, problem solved!

most poor people have higher BMIs than wealthy people on average. Poverty is far more likey to make you fat...in USA anyway

Not really, because it's easier to get high carb crap food. Most of what food shelves have that isn't produce is carbs and sugar.

I'm diabetic and cannot get the ozempic I am prescribed with because there isn't enough because of people that want to lose a few kg

Extreme poverty definitely, but if you're just below the poverty line then sugary foods are typically still cheap enough to buy.

Self loathing works great too

I’ve had this experience; the poverty, not ozempic. I didn’t have a job first year of college and basically starved. My BMI was under 18. Everyone said my eyes looked sunken.

Crack works too

Where can I get a prescription for this "poverty"?

Have you tried eating less?

Depression in combination with poverty, sure.

True that. My health fucking skyrocketed after getting approved for food stamps.
