Don’t consume any modern wheat, no high fructose corn syrup, little fast food or frozen food, and you will be the same size as before the mid 80’s.
Indeed.
And avoid any food with flour or bleached flour in it.
I do beleive it's our diet here in the USA! Not healthy foods sources or choices made, from fast foods to processed, hormone, antibiotics, chemicals, GMO, etc, etc, etc! And secondary lifestyle tossed into the mix! ....We wonder why were fatter and sicker!..You become what you consume and don't move!
Fast forward decades later to the present day. After buying a new scale from Bed Bath & Beyond using my 20% coupon yesterday, I discovered to my horror that I now weigh 123 lbs.
It says you can do the same exercise and eat the same foods and weigh more now than in the '80s.
I don't buy it. Back in college, 1979 to 1981 I weighed 185 lbs, two years ago I cut most sugar and non vegetable carbs. I hit a high of about 225 lbs two years ago, then started my low carb journey. My weight for the last eight months has been 185 lbs. I have no problem keeping the weight stable. My exercise routine has been the same for 35 years, so it's all diet. I do have desserts now only once a week, no big bowls of ice cream every night. I go in for a physical Tuesday, last time I was in to see my doctor was January 2018, 35 lbs higher.
I can definitely see a pretty significant difference in the higher number of overweight people in this recent video of West Virginia teacher protests versus this early 80's video of people strolling around downtown Charleston, WV. WV has one of the highest obesity rates in the country now, but looking at the 80's video people generally looked for the most part to be reasonably fit and at a healthy weight.

Off topic to the weight issue, I noticed people dressed well in the second video as well!
Well, 1981 video in Charleston, WV was prior to modern wheat era (mid 1980's), and high fructose corn syrup (early to mid 1990's). Lower Socioeconomic status areas were impacted severely by the modification of the food supply starting over 35 years ago. Big pharma depends on a sickly obese population to secure their profit margins. The proliferation of processed food, fast food, and frozen food (often at lower prices) compared to fresh fruit and veg created a vicious negative feedback loop that these areas have yet to recover from.

Yes, there were a bunch of changes that occurred over the course of the 80s.
One big change was the frequency people take in calories over the course of the day. Prior to the 80s, most people worked in manufacturing and had no more than a water break before and after lunch. Even most people who worked in offices didn't have anything more than a water cooler in the hall.
The same was true for schools. Nothing for the kids except water before and after lunch. When they did get vending machines, they turned them off except during lunch. And absolutely no eating in class or in the halls.
No break rooms, no vending machines, no nearby Starbucks. Most people ate breakfast and got nothing but water until lunch, then nothing but water until dinner.
There were fast food restaurants, but not nearly as many and they didn't have drive-throughs. They also required cash. And they still had real food. Compared to today, fast food prior to the 80s was practically organic.
These days, people barely go 90 minutes without ingesting some kind of calories. People keep their insulin levels high all day long...which is how you get diabetes.
Hey guys, I've been hearing about this new red tea detox recipe to lose weight. Do you guys know if it really works. I'm very tempted to try it, but wanted to know if anyone has actually tried it before? http://bitly.com/2YnEqcq
The entire concept of "detoxification" by some kind of elixir is a scam.
The body is reacting naturally to what it's consistently fed.
It will naturally react differently over time if it's consistently fed something different.
The rise in obesity is NOT due only to genetics. If that were true, we would have seen the same number of obese people for centuries. The rise in obesity has dramatically risen over the past 25 years.
