Why do people poison their bodies and then complain about having no energy?

[Nikki1989]

[TheRealPepperPotts]

Generational habits. They also underestimate how much difference it makes. They've never experienced the energy and the feeling of freedom in a different kind of lifestyle, so they can't really imagine what it would be like to sleep soundly, wake up bursting with energy, the sense of well-being after finishing a healthy breakfast, and so on.

It's like being in a small cave. If you've never gone outside the cave, the light's too bright and adjusting is too hard. If no one from their circle has ever gone outside the cave, it's easy to believe that it can't be done, or that those outside the cave are "rich" or "genetically gifted". But those of us outside the cave know that there is so much to explore outside when we just push ourselves through that strange and uncomfortable adjustment period.

cutting off sugar from my diet... was a life changer :D

[Crimsyjo]

I eat crap but have loads of energy...

I hate fruit and veg. Always have.. it's hard to eat things you don't like over things you do.

I've lost weight still eating crap and tons of exercise so it's not impossible. All things in moderation...

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

There’s a whole conversation to be had about Pax Americana and the toxic consumerism it’s produced, how materialism is used as a means of relief as much as survival and how it’s slowly killing a majority of the impoverished and indentured who don’t make as much as those who can afford to avoid the worst of it. But I don’t think this is really the place for it.

[NathanDavis]

I do know it since my early 20's...

once I stopped drinking Coca~Cola almost daily... I felt much more energetic in a more substantial way, lol

now I have it on the weekends if anything... but that's it, no more than that, lol

[7Phoenix7]

Pepsi okay?

[Dongie]

Shit y'all can talk some shit!

[NathanDavis]

@Dongie talk your shit Dongie...

[Dongie]

😂😂😂

[Summeroflove]

The same reason people do anything. People sleep around and wonder why they can’t find someone decent. People spend all their money on things and complain they don’t have any money. People eat shit and complain they have no energy and are sick all the time

[MemeSupreme]

a lot of people are uneducated about it especially when they're not taught in school about it or by their parents

[DrPepper12]

Parents are the key. Gym parents & home cooked meals are the BEST legacy of a perant per EVERY STUDY

[Friendlybro79]

I truly think many people are unaware how to eat properly to your point. I know this is crazy to say but I have people I know that don't understand how fast food is bad.

[DrPepper12]

So you met my mom? "It's GRILLED not FRYED so it's healthier!"

[Friendlybro79]

@DrPepper12 Exactly. I have friends and family like that too, look at me and say oh you're so skinny, and I have to find the polite way to say no, I'm exactly what I should weigh for my height. I'm 6' and around 185. I could technically be lighter but for my frame I'm ok. More importantly my blood work is great. They're all 50-100 pounds overweight, take meds for everything, and don't see the correlation that what I'm eating vs them is the key difference. It's not easy to talk about because then you're fat shaming them, and I don't want to do that. I just want my friends and family to be healthy, so I only talk about it when they bring it up. It's crazy though I had to tell someone that drinking two sodas a day may be better than 8 but it's still thousands of extra calories in a week and can't figure out why he's not losing weight while he eats 4 slices of pizza.

[DrPepper12]

Maybe your friends & family n my mother should make a lunch date after their endocrinologist appointments... We can introduce them to 🥗😋

[Friendlybro79]

@DrPepper12 lol. What do the doctors know? That's the excuse I'd get from them lol

[DrPepper12]

I took have heard that as my obese diabetic uncle lights another Marlboro...

[Friendlybro79]

@DrPepper12 while drinking a whiskey

[debtfree_oneyear]

Even though I know I need to lose weight and I want to lose weight it's hard to eat right all the time.

[debtfree_oneyear]

From your profile photo you look to be in great shape

[JestAJester]

Because they won't take accountability. They want someone to blame for their problems because then it's easier.

[Garud]

Those people don't want to use their brains so much about this. Taste first and then someday health, that is their motto.

[DJB72]

Because they've been indoctrinated since before they could read now for at least four generations.

[DrPepper12]

Gotta love US agribiz policies! We pay to kill ourselves here!!

[FreyaRed]

Bad habits turn after a decade or two into diabetes type 2 and then is the fun over.

[Dongie]

Strong cravings. I put away a lot of greens, fruits & veggies. And take several vitamins and supplements. I feel wore out too. CHF and a broken rib will do this to ya.

[DrPepper12]

Honesty, reflection and effort are not the strong suits of our species. Great pic!

[Dongie]

Make ya hungry teach? 😅

[DrPepper12]

Burgers yes. Keep the rest.

[Dongie]

Yeah, I just had a cheeseburger and plain Lays.

[Notherndude84]

I used to drink Diet Coke and wondered why I felt like shit. That stuff tastes like pure poison now I can’t stand it

[Eleni0199]

Poor dieted , not working out, bad sleeping habits. Possibly allergies.

[Jennz6]

I know right, bad thing taste good

[Bklynbadboy12]

Cause the stuff that's bad for you taste so good.

[Sonorous]

Because most are ignorant about health.

[DrPepper12]

*Willfully

[Sonorous]

@DrPepper12 - It would definitely seem that way for most who are like this & beyond. They could learn & implement, but they have no desire to for whatever reason. Dr. Mike from Renaissance periodization hypothesizes that this could be because certain people are lower in conscientiousness & have a high food drive. I think it may be a bit deeper since I've been someone who in the past was willfully ignorant & now I'm the complete opposite while my conscientious test scores haven't changed much. What are your thoughts? Why do you think so many are willfully ignorant. For past me, it was simply because had goals that weren't focused around health & fitness.

[BLP11520]

I eat simple and avoid crap

[eagle1951]

mmmm all the good stuff yum

[HДLILБΞУ]

you are right sir..
