People Need to Quit Overeating and Take Charge Over Their Body for its Maximum Health

[Citation]

Point 1

By allowing your children to eat ice cream and cake for dessert if they clean their plate is only encouraging them that it is okay to eat sweets if they finish their plate. The fact of the matter is that your body is not meant to process all that sugar and toxic overload from sweet and it helps develop more diseases. Will people get diseases like diabetes if they don't eat sweets? Yes but you are almost always going to develop more diseases when you do not train your body to eat more healthily.

Point 2

People believe if it is healthy, then it is okay to eat all you want of it. Well, you're still going to get fat. People can eat lots of seeds, nuts and fruits and still gain extra weight and it will burden their bodies. We need programs that educate people how to eat and live better.

Point 3

People need to quit taking it so personal if you kindly and out of love tell them that it would be best for them to lose weight. People get all bent out of shape about trying to help them reach a goal that they themselves should be trying to do in advance. Maybe that person has found extra tips that will help guide you in your weight loss. Yes, overeating is not the only reason people put on weight but it is easily a contributing factor. People can use food wisely and maintain a better weight and health.

Please use this to wake up and I hope to be a motivator to those who are battling being overweight. Please stop overeating and being addicted to food preservatives.

Thanks!

Hi, im in the uk with a s 14 and d 11 both pretty genetically big kids my d is almost my size already. im against artificial food additives, my children have always had full fat coke and high juice drinks like squashes diluted with water, butter not margarine or any other fake product, i use beef dripping when i cook roast potatoes, i rarely fry food apart from the occasional egg, we have take aways quite often including fried chicken and fries, i allow sweets a few times a week and only recently they have been allowed a whole pack of sweets each, my children have no tooth decay which i might add is quite unique amongst their peers, they are strong and healthy and pretty much my ways are against the current standards and advice of practice regarding health. My children will each pretty much every vegetable there is with a passion, that is also quite rare amongst their age groups, so my philosophy stands allow everything in moderation, dont make anything taboo, allow the understanding and give them the knowledge of understanding how food fuels them, i give them a meal considered way above maybe the scientific amount, they eat what they want of it, no matter what they leave they still would get dessert. That varies and yes some days i have to argue with my s 14 that he can't have full fat pepsi and has to have juice today... i believe im teaching my children avoid chemicals where possible, everything in moderation, limitations, what your body needs, what your body or brain thinks it needs and its potential trickery, self control... that to me is fundamental learning... rather than freaky scare tactics and filling our children with chemicals and scaremongery.. xx

being overweight is one thing, but talking about ''bad foods'' and telling your kids ''you shound eat this!'' is just stupid. you walk outside and do more damage to your body just by breathing all the emissions, everytime you clean your house you are letting off fumes from cleaning products, the water you drink has flouride in it which is a nuerotoxic pathogen. you really think you are minimizing the risk by telling your kids not to eat cake?

[Browneye57]

Uh, no, you can't 'kindly tell people' they're overweight. Well, you can, but it simply puts them on the defense. People are fat cuz they eat more than they move - THEIR CHOICE.
But out of it, unless they ASK YOU for help. Otherwise assume they're addressing the way they want.

The fat people are the ones you see at the buffets. They are the first one at the donut box at the office, they're the ones you always see stuffing their face. It takes a lot of extra eating to maintain all that fatness. "Kindly" telling them they shouldn't is gonna go over like a fart in church.

Can't completely agree with point one. If my child wants a bowl of ice cream and theyve been well behaved , they can have a little bowl of ice cream. Depriving kids of all sweets or anything unhealthy doesn't always work out , moderation is key. My children won't be raised on McDonalds and hot dogs , but Im not going to refuse them to be allowed a small piece of cake for dessert.

[MaxxiBonn]

Eh. If someone wants to lose weight then help them my educating them and offering them to come to your house for dinner, workout with them, tell them you can't wait to go shopping with them for their new wardrobe etc.
Some people don't mind being overweight and that's fine. It doesn't hurt me.

[I-am-a-nobody]

Hey, if I can preach for someone's spiritual health, you can "preach" for physical health. More power to you. I needed to hear this.

If you don't want to hear, tune it out.

[Paris13]

Great job Done, hun.
However, on One of my Own Wise ol Opinion Ends... Many people in this World, have a Food Addiction and Need Help with this Here, dear. xx

[Elarra]

How about people can do what they want and it's really none of your business what they do with their bodies.

[Citation]

I am trying to wake people up to realize this is not healthy to do. It is none of your business to tell me what I can or can't tell people to do. If I want to help people out, I will.

It is sad you take this as a threat. i am not here to please you or win your vote.

[Citation]

I don't want people headed down a road of potential health problems. Screw if they take this as I am harping on them about it. They need discipline in what they put into their body and somebody needs it told.

[MrMysteryMan]

You lost me at the chocolate cake pic. I had to run to the store and grab a deep and delicious stat. ;)

[meatballs21]

Forcing your kids to eat everything instils a lifelong habit of feeling the need to finish everything, which is bad when they go out for dinner at a restaurant that serves huge portions...

[RationalMale]

Interesting point. I think the OP might be thinking that if you force kids to fill up on good food they're less likely to stuff their faces with junk food though.

[Indian-African]

Ok so sugar is bad but alcohol is good?

Thats why I don't take these types of opinions seriously.

[oddwaffle]

This is the most sensible advice on lowering weight.

You lower your weight by eating less not eating more.

[fueledbythc]

Being overweight is 100% on you and it is something a majority of people can deal with. I am not sympathetic to fat people. They can change their body type with enough effort.

[PinkPandaBear180]

You lost me at point one lol poor children... poor, poor cihldren haha

[Paul09]

Yes! If you are unhealthy, don't have kids. Why pass down all your bad habits to your child? It is pretty much child abuse.

[juststrollin]

Generalization, btu yes, I wish my mom didn't serve me regular portions and tell me to make sure I clear my plate ;,( I am sure thats where my excess fat stems, I can remember over stuffing myseld until it was normal... people give your kids kid sized portions, please. I am still struggling with not over eating.

[juststrollin]

Adult portions to a 6 year old**

[Paul09]

@juststrollin When I moved out from my parents place , I ate way better lol. And continue to trying eating as healthy as I can.

[3timesaday]

How about people need to stop pressuring other people. And live there life's as they choose.

[Citation]

I am trying to make people realize and wake them up so they won't go down a road of major health problems.

[TrollG0D]

Coming from ready a take on feminist "body positivity", this was refreshing. 👍

[Sabretooth]

always felt the same way... people so damn paranoid!

[CHRIS11796]

Who cares, worry about your own health lol.

[Citation]

I am trying to wake people up so they don't need so much dependency upon drugs later in life.

[CHRIS11796]

Ya but if you see an overweight person at a restraunt ordering something, it is none of your business to tell them what they should be eating.

[Citation]

Did not say it was. But it is my duty to inform them better ways to improve their health when I have that knowledge. We all should be teachers. I didn't say do such in a mean spirited way. There is a time and a place to do that.

[CHRIS11796]

Would you ever workout with someone who was willing to lose weight?

[Citation]

Yes I would. I'd encourage them they can be a victor and don't have to struggle.

[CHRIS11796]

Well if you offer help and exercise with someone who wants to get healthy, that's good. But bashing and making someone feel like shit for being overweight is another story.

[Citation]

Yes but my take was to make them aware of that. Being aware they need to make a change. I don't flat out bash them if they want to be stubborn and say things like it's my life and my body. I'll do what I want. That is a sour outlook.

There is a difference between beware and be aware.

[CHRIS11796]

But then again if people don't want to change, then there's really nothing you can do but just let them live their life.

[Citation]

Yes but I won't know they don't want to change if I don't try to encourage them first.

[Patriots512]

This sounds fascist.
