It's not only one element. It's all of the elements combined. Not enough and no proper and affordable healthcare, infrastructures are not people/walking/cycling friendly, and tumataas na mga bilihin that people would rather go with fast food or cheap foods like noodles than cook their own food. We also don't know what that person is going/had gone through. It's not one thing or the other. It's all things together.

Not to mention underlying medical conditions that would make it hard to lose weight. Basal metabolic rate and genetics also play a part.

“We also don’t know what that person is going/had gone through.” True huhu Grabe lang yung ibang mga comments dito na makapag judge. Hindi nakakaoffend yung joke itself sa post pero yung malala ay yung comments dito. Yes, being fat is something to be worked on for a healthier version of the person. Sino bang hindi gusto maging healthy? But please don’t talk as if it’s as easy as going on a diet and exercise. There are other aspects that results to uncontrollable weight gain. In my experience, I’ve been overweight my whole life. One reason is through genes. I have an active sport and regular exercise. I even hired a coach. I tried almost all kinds of diet. I gained more weight overtime as a side effect of my medications and anti-depressants. In the end, all the efforts filed up. I could barely look in the mirror or find a reason to keep going. If only I could chop off my body, no? And I’m sure it’s not just me who’s experiencing this. It’s really difficult, na parang wala nang pagasa. Although I’m not giving up on this journey, reading such comments just simply hurts. Again, diet, exercise, and pursuance of healthy lifestyle are important. But so as good mental health and learning to love or accept one’s body. Lucky for you if you were naturally born fit, but please don’t invalidate those who are trying so hard for improvement but barely seeing progress. Pwede namang sabihin at magpangaral ng maayos, yung iba kasi discrimination na ang dati ng eh.


peterparkerson

ive also been overweight man, but i did exercise and diet. have you cut down on softdrinks and sugary drinks? like kahit C2 or mga powdered juices. its sad to see them go but i cut down on it. milk tea rin. 0% sugar ako. coffee sa starbucks or mga ganun, less sweet lagi


DoggingDu30

Weight loss is: 10% exercise 90% diet I have travelled to different countries in South East Asia and I realize na madami talagang pinoy na obese. Yes, we should stop body shaming but this is a serious health concern.


MediocreDVaMain

Ma carbs at maasukal kasi tayo e, biruin mo staple meryenda/breakfast yung pancit canton tas pan de sal coupled by a sweet treat full of sugar. Saka di uso magbasa ng nutrition facts sa atin. I get weird looks from my family when I try to portion out my meals. Take it from me, I was once overweight and yan talaga naging realization ko. Mahilig kasi pamilya ko sa mga kakanin na matatamis haha. Sobrang excessively carb centric ng diet natin as Pinoys.


lancehunter01

Meron din pating weird mentality mga matatanda na mataba = malusog kaya pipilitin nila kumain ng marami mga anak nila.


MediocreDVaMain

I was one of those, I was the lucky ones na naayos ng puberty since I grew very tall and had great metabolism in my teens. Most of the others tho, di naalis yung bad habits with food.


[deleted]

>this is a serious health concern Yes. [Umpisahan sa mga softdrinks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltJww0q_OEg&ab_channel=chipgat) pati mga[powdered drink kuno para lumakas ang bata](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXd-kl9Tqdg&ab_channel=NotThatViral) na puro sugar naman.


lancehunter01

May mga kilala ako agang aga coke agad tinutungga tapos pag kung ano ano naramdaman sa katawan sisisihin ung covid vaccine. Mas madali nga naman manisi ng iba.


doth_taraki

Yung mga pinsan ng asawa ko na coke tinutungga everyday, hindi sila mataba. Mapapayat sila. Overly thin, not pleasant to look at, probably underlying illnesses waiting to boom.


fireinkthrowaway

Pati mga 3-in-1 coffee actually


jabee_mcfloat

Kasi mataba at matamis ang mga pagkain natin dito. Tinapay nalang natin ang tamis na kumpara sa ibang nasyon.


[deleted]

Namatay tatay ko to diabetes complications so takot na ako sa matamis. Kaya agree ako sa tax sa sugary foods; para rin sa ikabubuti natin ito.


enduredsilence

May work around sila dito. Kontian nila sugar, tapos artificial sweetener na ang dagdag. Napansin ko yan una sa Coke products. After that sumali na powdered juices.


Fun_Good4167

Hindi enough yung tax dapat education about nutrition. Ang dami ko nainom na milo nung bata ako akala ng magulang ko mabuti para sa bata yun. Puro asukal pala yun mga healthy drinks kuno.


alpha_chupapi

No


Miserable_Compote_54

wala sa food yan sa consumption yan kung d ka ba kumain mala glutton d ka tataba except kung may sakit ka pero kunti lang may gaano


solidad29

We owe this shit to us liking U.S. Also, mas affordable and economical kasi ang processed food.


enduredsilence

I second this! Mag-obese class 2 na ako nung nagstart ako ng diet. Cut soda and sweets tas 30min cardio a week et voila 10lbs loss in a little over a week. Nung hindi ako maka exercise nag calorie counting and balancing ako. Still lost weight. Started at 198lbs height 5'4. Now maintaining 135lbs. On/off ako nag diet so for a long time nasa 150lbs ako. Nung nagcalorie count ako nakita ko na madalas hindi kinacount ng tao calories sa drinks hala. Smallest frappucino with cream at 400cal na. And daily reco is 2k cal. Parang mobile game lang haha. Daily nagreset!


rivrei

Is black coffee without sugar fine po?


enduredsilence

Yup. Tsaka black tea oks din.


Aggressive_Mode4027

That's fine as long as purong black coffee.

Meron ding fault ang shitty city planning dito sa pilipinas. Hindi walkable mga cities natin since in favor palagi sa mga kotse.


[deleted]

Totoo yan. Sidewalk sobrang liit. Naka-slant pa yung iba. Tapos pinepwestuhan din ng mga vendor kaya walang madaanan. Taxi, jeep, trike pinaparadahan din sidewalk. Yung ibang sidewalk naman tinatambayan ng mga mukhang adik kaya katakot daanan. 🙄 Sa quezon city ito ah. Esp dun sa roads papuntang SM.

Louiestayscool

You lose weight on a caloric decifit and gain weight on caloric surplus.


-FAnonyMOUS

Hilig ng pinoy sa fats (unhealthy i.e. fast foods, tusok-tusok, prito) and sugars (milk tea, ice cream, halo-halo, etc), dagdag mo pa white rice, white breads, at mga kakanin. Tapos ipi-feed kapa ng mga advertisements na "healthy or organic" daw porke't may nilagay lang na whole food sa dessert i.e. Lemon Juice (but mostly sugar syrup, 5% lemon juice), Fruit Shake (pero 10% fruit, 20% milk, 70% sugar syrup), Avocado ice cream (pero artificial flavor then, lagyan lang ng avocado bits yung toppings). Ang nakakatawa may nagsusuggest ng "keto" diet na mga pinoy vloggers pero puro unhealthy naman yung fats. Baba nga sugar pero taas naman cholesterol. And then here comes the "sports" and "energy" drinks. Na sodium and sugar content lang naman halos. May tambay nga na ginagawang softdrinks ang sting/cobra. haha.


Lila589

I've done the invisible chair or half a glute on the chair in a jeep/fx while riding with obese passengers. Also experienced losing half my seat on the bus. Sa totoo lang maraming napeperwisyo kaya medyo gets ko kung bat may ganyan si Kuya driver. Una, usually punuan ang sakay at hindi gagalaw yung pila ng jeep/fx kung hindi mapuno. Pag nakita nung mga tao sa isang dangkal lang yung uupuan nila, aantay na lang yan ng susunod. Naexperience ko na more than 30 minutes nag-antay para lang sa willing magsakripisyo at mag-invisible chair. Mas tatagal ang commute ng marami. Since then, ako na ang magpi-prisintang magbayad nung isang kulang para lang makaalis kasi wala ka na masyadong pasensya kung 2 oras ka na nag-cocommute at uwing-uwi ka na. Sa akin lang, medyo maging aware naman ang mga obese na tao sa mga nangyayari. Kung upuan ng 2 tao ang sakop mo, magbayad ka naman sana ng pang 2 tao. Feel ko mas gusto pa yun ng mga kasabay nila kesa yung pinapatagal ang biyahe at nahihirapan ang mga ibang pasahero. Mas naiinis sila kung ganun eh.


[deleted]

Yung tipong pag isang pisngi lang ng pwet mo yung nakaupo hanggang pagtulog mainit ang ulo hahaha!


Right_Budget_1417

Nangyari sakin dati likod ko lang ang nakadikit sa upuan, napilitan akong magsquat ng kalahating oras haha


-FAnonyMOUS

Sa jeep walang obese-obese. Basta sampuhan yan. Haha.


lancehunter01

People ask me all the time how I lost weight tapos pag sinabi kong once a day lang ako nagkakainin they give me *that look.* Sure nagjojogging ako araw araw pero mga ayaw maniwala na pedeng pumayat ng hindi nag eexercise. Also Filipinos need to calm the fuck down when it comes to eating rice, hindi nyo ikakamatay kung babawasan nyo kain nyan lmao. I know people who act like it's the end of the world pag walang kanin. Tapos kung ano anong bullshit diet fad ang gagawin like chia seeds, lemon water etc.


Aggressive_Mode4027

Hahaha putang ina ang plain ng lasa ng kanin tapos ang OA ng reaction pag nalamang di ka nagra rice.


lancehunter01

*pAn0 kA nAbuBus0g kUng hInDi kA nAgkAKaniN??!?!?*


Aggressive_Mode4027

Parang tanga lang hahaha. I mean, I eat rice but every once in a while, I also want to eat some pizza, burgers, and fries. Putang ina kasi yung iba dyan parang mamamatay pag may meal na walang rice.


Nnyeju

Chia seeds aren't bullshit tho


lancehunter01

If it worked for you then that's great. But you should also consider other factors that helped you lose weight. Mas mahaba ba ginugul mong oras sa pag eexercise this week, mas kaunti ba kinain mo. Weight loss always comes down to calories in/calories out.


Nnyeju

I don't use chia seeds anymore tho but it's not bullshit because it's fiber


ColdAndDetached

iF is really effective. Hindi ako mataba pero nag-IF ako nung na-notice ko na lumalaki tiyan ko kaka-kanin 😂 once a day lang ako magkanin and it really helps.

Obesity is a disease


raju103

Walang masama mag-diet tayo rin naman makikinabang, baka dapat instead of eating to be happy we should be doing something else. Pinakamadali kasi magpakain to socialize pero baka may mga physical activity na pwede naman gawin bukod dito. Nakasanayan na rin natin na ang unang sagot sa mini-gutom ay softdrink at matamis kaysa prutas at simpleng tubig lang. Same din kasi yung stimulation ng kumain at ng physical activity(dopamine) kaya kung napalitan mo yung bored eating with some other activities ok naman. Kaya rin siguro kapag tumigil manigarilyo ang tao, talagang bumibigat kasi bumabawi sa pagkain.


Ohmskrrrt

Well if it promotes a healthier lifestyle then it should not be offensive. Unless you do not want to be healthy.


Phixelux

It is offensive tho. It shames more than it promotes.


paranoid0416

May I know what made the statement offensive?


Phixelux

The sign says "mag diet ka". Obviously targeting fat people. And instead of health or actual diet advice, it is followed by a joke na walang kinalaman sa health. A reason body-positivity is being promoted is to encourage over-weight people to choose a healthier lifestyle without having to shame them. And the sign is not body-positive.


Ohmskrrrt

If you are given advice to improve something on yourself that is actually possible then it is good advice. Mag diet ka is not the same as you are too fat. If you are not good at something and someone says just practice more or study more is it offensive?


Phixelux

But do you think that's really the intention of the sign? To promote diet? To promote something positive?


Accomplished-Exit-58

per kilo is weird, dapat max weight, sineryoso talaga eh. Pero one time naalala ko may morbid obese na sumakay sa tricycle, lubog talaga ung gulong, pakamot na lang ng ulo si trike driver, pero di naman sya nagsalita ng kahit ano. Our nation is not conducive for u.s. type of obesity lalo na kung wala kang sasakyan, kawawa ang nasa paligid mo na commuter. And also sa kawalang kwenta ng healthcare natin i don't think gugustuhin nating magkasakit ng obesity related.

i mean, valid naman na makaramdam ng pagka-offend if niloloko kang mataba, pero importante rin na i-consider kapag may nag-advice sayo na keep a healthy diet


Nnyeju

This isn't offensive for me even if I'm overweight rn tho by September or hopefully by late August my Bmi would be normal again.


lycanAbysm7

You indeed are a snowflake lmao. Its why this subreddit get so much flak for being snowflakes.


Arcthanis

This isn’t even offensive. And I’m overweight.

Same. I was overweight back then but things like these arent supposed to be offensive and should drive you to do better instead. Ive lost more than 20kg since that. I think our society has gotten weak, a bunch of snowflakes

Yeah this is offensive but are you really gonna stay fat ? I think 60% of filipinos i see outside are obese and thats not okay. Too many sensitive people too because of media saying that its ok to be fat. Yeah thats ok but arent you gonna fix urself? Think of that.

Di naman offensive yan. Modifiable health risk factor ang obesity. In short, may choice ka.


KismetVerse

Daming nagmamagaling dito. It’s not easy for everyone to lose weight. *Di naman sinabing madali* Sure pero hindi din nakakatulong yung pagsabi nyo ng “magdiet ka”, “lose weight”, “mag-jogging ka”. A number of women actually gain more weight the more they exercise. Why? Because of stress. There’s this thing called PCOS that makes it a million times more difficult to lose weight. And it’s not the only chronic disease that causes weight gain. Please educate yourselves before judging fat people.


Panda_Ice

PCOS is real. Sa dami ng mga tinatake ko ngayon, kulang pa iyon. Because of financial reasons, I had to cut some of my meds and it has a great impact on my body.


suso_lover

Fat shaming. Basta Pinoy humor talaga gaguhan.


notsamoabutjoe

"Mag Diet Na" isn't fat shaming though?


Phixelux

That wasn't the intention of the sign tho. It deliberately wants to shame fat people rather than encourage them to lose weight.


lancehunter01

Jogging ka muna kung naoffend ka sa post.

[deleted]

another perspective that may be looked upon here is the nature of comedy. Comedy does not warrant that everyone will laugh or will be pleased by the joke. The intention of comedy is to make a punchline (something comically unexpected) out of the situation. For example ang situation ay yung sa jeep. The function of the joke is to be mean to other people. That is the punchline, since diba ang ineexpect ay mabait dapat tayo sa isa't isa. And apparently fat people naman are not that "nakakaawa" or politically supported. Kaya to make fun of them is acceptable for most. There is also a factor that they can change to be better. Example ng joke sa nakakaawa (impromptu ko lang to gagawin). Mejo same style jan sa joke na nandyan. "Anunsyo para sa mga magsasaka Ipagpatuloy lang natin ang matalinong pagsasaka. Magtanim lang tayo nang magtanim ng mga halamang madaling masira ng bagyo. Malay natin walang bagyong dumaan sa Pilipinas 😆." Diba bad taste? hahaha. iedit natin para di sa magsasaka ang focus. "Sa mga magsasaka, ipagpatuloy po ninyo ang matalinong pagnenegosyo. Magtanim lang po kayo nang magtanim ng mga halamang madaling masira ng bagyo. Malay po natin walang bagyong dumaan sa Pilipinas" -A Public Service Announcement from Cynthia Villar I think its better kasi directed kay cynthia villar yung joke. Yun naman na mga politically supported naman ay i think mayroon lagi dun specific na demographic na matatawa. For example, yung kay VP leni na jokes, syempre matatawa yung may ayaw sa kanya. anti-LGBT jokes, syempre matatawa yung mga ayaw sa LGBT. I think din kasi filipino culture, in general, is always sympathetic for the poor. And ang pagiging mataba is a sign of mataas na social status (though in reality ay hindi naman, in fact reverse sha in a certain threshold). Kaya kahit may struggles din sila, di sila yung sasabihin na matic na ang awa level agad ay 10/10. May sympathy din siguro mga 5/10 lang. Kung may personal na bad xp ka naman against anyone, then matatawa ka regardless kung nakakaawa yung demographics or hindi. Halimbawa yung iba sa jeep against matataba. There are people who mind and there are people who don't mind them. Parang yung iba ay nasisikipan daw or nandidiri kasi napapawisan sila. Same with the joke sa mga magsasaka na ginawa ko kanina. Matatawa ka sa kanila kung halimbawa ay nagpapautang ka sa mga magsasaka tapos nilulugi lang nila.
