I haven’t lived in Nebraska for about fifteen years, living on both coasts since then. My diet has changed substantially as a result.

Having visited back home for a week last year I was reminded how much “brown/tan” food and red meat is served in the Midwest.

I’m not poo-pooing that diet but making an observation.

I eat the shit out of some red meat honestly

I eat the shit out of some red meat honestly

I used to as well. Now 90% of the meat I eat is chicken, fish, or turkey. I still love me some carbs so I’m not super healthy but I’m roughly the same weight I was during college which was about 14 years ago.

As you should, red meat is good for you

Did a date night with my wife about a month ago since Anthony's Steakhouse is closing down. Went all out. I, myself, got a big Porterhouse, baked potato, salad, crab legs, and 2 beers. That kinda what you mean lol?

Yes, except substitute the crap legs for Texas toast. Now imagine that every night.

“Crap legs” is what you get in Mexico.

I love me some fish dude. Been on a grilled chicken kick lately, but yeah still a lot of red meat. In college when I was still playing baseball, I ate absolutely stupid healthy just to be in the best shape I could be in, was like 185 and absolutely diced. Constantly hungry, but ya know.

All the cheap food in the US is bad for you, or at least 95% of it is and it is also faster than making healthy food. Although making a boat load of chicken or pork for a week is not incredibly hard or expensive, but people choose not to walk, never work out, and have horrible portion control. Also BMI is pretty dumb for body fat specifically, in general it probably evens out, but you need grab the tape measure and take a real test or do one of those fancy machines or whatever they use, if anyone has stories on using those I would be interested.

The scales that include a body fat calculator are highly inaccurate. They're off by anywhere from 20-35%, not BF percentage, but the percentage of body fat. So if you're 20% body fat, that measurement can be anywhere from 4% to 7% off either direction, meaning it might say you're 13% BF possibly up to 27% BF or on the more accurate ones 16%-24% body fat.

The pulses on feet go through your legs, pelvis and down other leg, not accounting for upper torso BF. There are calculations used based on that to estimate total body fat in whole body. Now if someone has an extremely ripped lower body and a beer belly, it'll have a lower BF calculation because it's basing it off of the fat in the legs and lower torso.

Similar for hand held, it travels through arm, across shoulders, through other arm.

Water intake and high salt intake can greatly manipulate these calculations as well. High water retention speeds up the pulses, which the machine sees as less body fat.

I’ve had patients that tell me they drink a 12 pack of regular soda every, single, day of their lives.

Diabetic patients that say, “I don’t even eat much,” and their sugars are horrible. I live in a small town and I’ll see some of my patients at restaurants eating 2k+ calories for a single meal.

I will say when you’re 100+ pounds overweight that it must just feel horribly daunting. Like where the hell do you start, but also how the hell did you get yourself there?

Hell it isn’t hard to hit the calorie intake for a day if you eat fast food one time.

Feels like that anecdote alone disproves Darwinism

Just think of it as the exception that proves the rule.

I know you didn’t mean it this way, but this sounds like something a 308 Grandpa would call Mexican food lol

Same for me. I eat much healthier when I moved from the midwest. Not like I was seeking out a life change due to being a fat, just found other options that taste just as good and don't weigh you down.

Once you change your diet and portion sizes, going back to the same is not as appetizing.

what does brown/tan food mean

I’m guessing fried and gravy types of foods.

I had not either and I could be wrong. Could be racist.
