A lot of “unhealthy food” isn’t that bad for you

[Monkey D Theories]

I feel like there’s this big misconception about what eating healthy looks like, where some people think you need to eat disgusting, unappetizing food just to be healthy.

I think the truth is that a lot of food stereotyped as “unhealthy” irl isn’t that bad for you if you eat it in correct proportions.

This isn’t to say bad food doesn’t exist. Most vending machine food is complete garbage. Stuff like candy or chips that are ultra processed and have little to no nutritional value. I think stuff like that isn’t really healthy and I try not to have it routinely.

But when you’re talking about stuff like hamburgers, chicken nuggets, pizza, etc. a lot of this food is viewed as unhealthy but imo it’s just normal food.

People only become obese from this food because they eat too much of it.

but idk I’ve been losing weight consistently for the past few months and I eat hamburgers and chicken nuggets all the time. They’re convenient, they’re a good source of protein, and I don’t think that in of themselves, these foods are that bad.

Perhaps it did help a lot that I had bariatric surgery back in March, but honestly if I didn’t change my eating habits, I wouldn’t have continued to lose weight after the first 1-2 months.

I just try to keep a balance. Right now I’m about ~245 lbs. If I feel like I’m not hitting my weekly goals I’ll probably cut some stuff. But so far, I haven’t had any issues.

I think a lot of people either don’t know much about nutrition or don’t care

Also while a lot of food isn’t necessarily healthy, it is sold in unhealthy portions.

If it is mass-produced, it is unhealthy.
If obesity were the only issue, it would have been nice...
You don't see the harm it does to you right away or in a week or a month...
You let it accumulate in your body for 20-30-40 years and then wonder how did it happen.

People are slowly poisoning themselves and arent even aware of it.
Obesity is the easiest shit to deal with, you just need to be able to say No to yourself.
Cut out any form of sugar and carbs for a single week and you will lose more weight than you intended.
Sugar should be classified as a drug, it is nearly everywhere, in each food you eat and makes people addicted.

Most things can be considering fine if they are eaten in moderation however it’s still unhealthy. A lot of the foods that you’re mentioning are fatty and can cause a host of problems. It’s one thing to have a flexible diet and another to make bad food choices.

I struggle with dieting because it’s time consuming and I just like unhealthy foods better. Ultimately you should make healthier food choices.

They arent bad but they are calorie dense & less filling compared to whole foods or single ingredient foods.

You eat more calories & less quantity of food, it's better to avoid them mostly if you're aiming to lose fat.

I feel like protein shakes are really useful for calorie control. I buy ones that are like 150 calories with 30g protein and no sugar or carbs.

At the moment I use those as a replacement for one of my meals and then just eat normally for the rest of my meals. But I do try to focus on more protein rich foods.

Fat isn’t necessarily bad tho, you do need it.

You need some, not a lot. If you were to eat only healthy foods you’d still have fat. You can switch to Turkey Burgers as opposed to hamburgers there is still fat however, not as much. You can still eat healthier versions of the food you want. You have to worry about cholesterol and heart issues from eating unhealthy. Also if you cook with any oil you get fat from that.

''Unhealthy'' depends on its quality. They are talking about most of the time average fast food restraurants.

If you are addicted to that low/average fast foods then it should be taken only 1 time in 1 week if you want to be healthy.

If you eat home made hamburger from high quality materials, or eat from higher quality restaurants, it wouldn't, but most people aren't rich enough to eat that every day so they buy low/average fast food and they get sick.

How tall are you?

Height isn't the always the sole indicative of what weight a person should be. Bone density is also a factor. Some guy like Sean O'Malley is 5'11 but has very thin bones so he can be around 160 lbs and healthy.

But someone like Khabib can be around 185 lbs and still very healthy despite being 5'10 due to bone density difference.

It definitely gives you an idea. You have to look at the general rule not the exceptions. I’m aware that other factors matter. I’m considered obese I’m 6”2 265lb but it’s not fat I’m a gym rat. That’s the only reason I know anything about this topic because I’m concerned about my health and focusing on losing weight.

You can technically lose weight by eating nothing but twinkies, doesn't mean it's a remotely healthy opinion. Fast-food chicken nuggets, for example, are super-processed foods that have more fat than protein, and are excessively high in preservatives and sugar, when you compare it to say, a home-cooked chicken breast.

People only become obese from this food because they eat too much of it.

I mean, these foods are very fatty in the first place. If people ate a comparable amount of healthier, less calorie-dense alternatives, they wouldn't be as fat in the first place. Fatty, sugary, and processed foods in general are just generally bad for the body, there's even proof of it influencing your mood and giving way to higher rates of depression.

So meat isn't ultraproceesed in your country or something.

I have forsaken eating non veg out doors.
Its only when I go to my Grandparents who owns huge farms and animals..
That be only time I'm consuming Non veg straight lol. That's real protein source.

 

[NAMELESS]

I have never being fat in my life. My diet basically consists of eggs ,rice, beans, chicken and salad. Processed foods are killing people.

Wait 10 more years and you will see how these "unhealthy foods" affect your weight
