Americans have a lack of knowledge about diet and nutrition. Depression and fast food will def keep the pounds on. And self image today is normal to see big asses so they do not care.

probably because their familial support network is poor

[QUOTE=Not So Big;5771719]Im not gonna type out a full article, but I think a HUGE reason is that everywhere you go, there is fast food resturaunts on every corner. That is all I see, they are fast and convenient. If there was some healthy fast food shops, no dedication to go on a diet, go to the gym and workout etc.. some are just to busy but if theres a will, theres a way. peace brohampsters[/QUOTE]all the articles in magazines and newspapers on how to lose fat, all the diets and supplements for losing fat, and all the constant media attention on how to lose fat...

all the diets and supplements for losing fat, and all the constant media attention on how to lose fat... Americans still can't lose their fat and keep it off?

Why do most Americans have a weight problem?
-
What would you tell all overweight Americans if you had five minutes on national television on the subject of getting in shape and staying in shape? What are they doing wrong?

What are they doing wrong?

In short...
Looks like mivi hit the nail on the head, though i didn't read it all.
In short, lack of physical activity, poor diet, and advances in technology (sit on their asses more). Part of the reason why US and uk have such high death rates of CHD compared to say, Eastern European countries

Laziness. As an american that is the only thing i see around me that keeps people fat.
-
Its because Americans are lazy and good at making excuses.

One need look no further than the junk food and frozen food aisles at the grocery store. These foods are loaded with simple carbs, fat, sodium, preservatives, you name it. In most countries the snacks aisle is very small and frozen food almost nonexistent. And that's to say nothing of our restuarant options. Obvio fast food is crap, but often overlooked is the chain restauants. A lot of menu items from places like Chilis and TGI Fridays are even LESS healthy than fast food. Cook for yourself and choose the right food at the grocery store. You can't eat it if you don't buy it!

[QUOTE=PureMotivation;5793837]1.yes it's correct there are fast food restaraunts on every corner and that is alot easier than making a healthy meal
2.But what I think is even more of a problem than that, is that it is just plain out EASIER to be fat than skinny! It is so much easier not to excercise or even simply just eat ALOT of food. And now being fat is just almost a norm in society so who the hell would care? People just LOVE TO EAT![/QUOTE]

Americans are generally uneducated about what they are putting into their bodies. People might think they are eating healthy but in reality these foods are just marketed to make them seem healthy. For example, if someone sees "0g trans-fat" on everything then it must be healthy right? I don't think so. Portion sizes are way out of whack as well. People may eat 4-5 servings of something without even realizing it. In addition, TV ads and fast food restaurants have plagued the minds of the general population. The U.S. government should take some action and start regulating these sorts of things because obesity is killing us at a rapidly increasing rate.

Often feel no spirit, but sleep is enough, why is this?

the constant availability of junk food, food companies reliance on sugar and chemicals for processing. also, the junk food industries make sure that such food is addicting for their own profits.

We subsidies crops like corn and soy to the point that the farmers growing them are literally selling them for less money than it cost them to grow them. Government comes in a pays them out though. This then allows us to process and manufacture foods insanely cheap, however they are not the best foods for us... Over 80% of products in your grocery stores today contain a corn or soy product (if not both). Everything from food, beverages, pills, to batteries... yes there is corn in batteries. We make the bad food cheap, the good food pricey... it keeps our lower income communities down because they're put into a position to only being able to afford the bad...
The other big factor to this is that people don't cook anymore. As food became more readily available/prepared for us, people stopped cooking... generation after generation people were cooking less, which correlates to the youth not learning ever how to do which forces us to have to buy things ready made. In all honesty it is in a lot of senses cheaper to actually eat healthy, but you have to know what to buy and how to cook it... no one is educating anyone on this... not in most homes and especially not at school... i'd know, i'm a high school teacher. I do a huge unit in cooking, health and nutrition in my Anatomy classes after the digestive system however I do this because I value it, because I know something about it, not because it is mandated curriculum... In fact, I actually had to go to bat with my administration to get them to allow me to teach this stuff because it wasn't direct Anatomy and Phys... damn shame.

Personally, i would say in the morning around , lets say 6:30 ish. Because:
A: Your testosterone levels are alot higher in the morning than in the after noon or night.
B: your more focused, relaxed because you've like slept for 6-8 hrs.

Standing barbell curls would be my exercise of choice for biceps. Make sure you pay careful attention to correct standing barbell curling form, although I agree with Arnold that it's fine and good to *sometimes* swing the weight a little on the last

concentration curls
switch in other lifts but these are my 2 favorite and got the best results as far as peak/size goes.

Why do Americans have such trouble keeping the fat off (despite the billion-dollar weight loss industry).
1. Countries in Europe ban unhealthy foods. U.S. doesn't. This is more of a moral and political discussion, but consequentially it matters.
2. Our culture about eating is completely wrong. We are taught to eat very little in the morning (a cup of coffee and a muffin maybe), don't eat until lunch, and then wait until dinner when you have a giant meal with your family. And after dinner, have a nice oreo cake.
First of all, it's better to eat low calorie meals every 2 hours than 2-4 heavy meals.
Second, it's not good to take a huge dinner and a fatty desert to bed with you.
Eat your cake in the morning and burn it off.
3. We are desensitized to how unhealthy Burger King and Wendy's really are, because we are surrounded by it.
