My girlfriend is quite overweight but I really love her 

sefenestrating dpoonerisms I love this

Why did this make me laugh so hard?

These types of comments are never funny.

yeah... the day he gives a normative prescription

Metabolism burns a lot of calories/fat, however.

Biplav Shrestha No because then she'll cheat on you. I'm sort of convinced it's always better to be the one who has a higher sexual market place value in the relationship gives you more power and the other person is likely to compliment you more and criticise you less because they know it's more likely you can get someone better or just replace them it does mean you have to keep reaffirming that you love them and that they're worthy of you and all this stuff but meh it's a fair price to pay in my mind anyway and the person is likely happier with you then without even if they where self conscious with you.

We're gonna need a bigger burqa.

Biplav Shrestha lmao nooo you gotta start goin to the gym everyday, and when you go out to grab groceries or something wear your nicest clothes. She will start to become very insecure and take it upon herself to lose weight, without you even asking her to! And thennn you start gettin fat.

hahahahaha perfect xd

Yes

@@tomfoolery8100 It does burn a lot. How do you know how much people think it burns?

Best underrated comment

At the same time I'd add "never expect to find a partner who is totally perfect for you"

She didn’t need fixing when we started off 😂 she was athletic and driven. Now she’s overweight and lazy.

@@fmbmrtjdpcmrtb8030 That's a stupid question.

fmbmrtjdpcmrtb to be fair ir she lost weight for other and not for him, she didn’t loved him too.

@@fmbmrtjdpcmrtb8030 you can affect your weight gain by a lot, being overweight alters you to for example diabetes and other bad sicknesses, and it also doesn't look attractive at all, if getting a nice dopamine spike eating junk food is more important to a person than their own wellbeing they don't even love themselfes.

It became a 'bigger deal', eh? Lol.

Make sure you are accounting for circumstances. If she just had a baby for example and you’re going to the gym at 5:30 in the morning. She’s not going to go to the gym with you because she doesn’t have a good option for childcare and she’s already not getting sufficient sleep. She’s not being obstinate, she’s trying to survive.

Tried this approach, but she ‘doesn’t like the gym’ at my wits end now after 6.5 years in a relationship. I’m getting close to calling it quits..

Tried this. Many times. Ends up her pd off at me. Saying i should love her for who she is etc. Tried the direct approach yesterday. Shes not talking to me now. I dont regret it tho.

@@TheFunktipus1 man people use that term too loosely yes you should love a woman or man for who they are but that person gotta be something to look at. If a person let themselves GO by not taking care of themselves and don’t try to revive themselves then they don’t care about their life let alone yours Idc what nobody says

@@righteousmasculine can a man or woman who isn't the most attractive themselves expect more? I think this is probably the case 9 outta 10 times. Just because the man woman isn't fat doesn't mean they're automictically attractive.

@@wcp4jc who said that tho ?

This

Yeah can agree on this

Not all people who are skinny/normal eat healthy.

Advice - don't go after fat chicks if you didn't already like fat chicks, dumbass. I swear to god that the guys that are whiny bitches after the fact that they chose her when she was fat have the audacity to expect her to lose the weight after meeting you. LOL Do you guys think your penis is made of solid gold? xD Or are you really just that stupid?

@@SuperKnowledgeSponge triggered much?

The fact that u said "fat chicks" just says it all

😂🤣🤣🤣

Oh hell no girl has no love for herself tf

nice

That's easier said than done for everyone. I am a vegetarian but I hate vegetables.

AKA, go vegan

Robot HandLove nutrition is highly individualized. Get a good allergy test, then track your macros. Or don't

Biplav Shreshta, you hate vegetables? Thats interesting, when I became vegan I started suddenly liking all the vegetables because, I guess, I had to.

I'm always *very* careful with how I talk to my bitches.

Any advice on how you lost the weight?

why would you resent your own husband trying to help? why do women think this way? it makes the relationship 10 times harder. 😤

plz lose more than 40 for your hubby

Yea well his truth got you to lose weight no matter how much it hurt your feelings it ultimately benefits you because you have someone in your life to call you out and not just let you get fat

True.

Doesn´t have to be difficult though. Takes a bit of a learning curve. People are proud and that learning curve is usually poorly done. Loosing weight is not a difficult thing once you understand your body a bit better. Just takes time. Getting results in two weeks is impossible. But yes, its impossible to help someone else losing weight if that person isn´t the one wanting it. You can only help those who want to help themselves.

Losing weight ain’t difficult only difficult if you’re a bitch

your 1005 right but just saying this to a person who is incapable to understand they need to speed up their metabolism ie by excersizing and eating a lot of quality food can benefit them. not about dieting but trying to keep it for months on end is important

It's not a matter of "tricking" but encouraging

I'm going to go to sleep, and begin lifting on Monday.

Yes it is. Not CARDIO. Lifting. Praise the lord.

Exercise doesn't actually burn shit. (It can raise you're metabolism, though. In the long run.) It's all diet.

John NoNameGibbon Lifting weights isn't great for burning fat, but if you think exercise doesn't burn fat you probably haven't done serious exercise.

Dude, you have no idea what you're talking about. Exercise is just as important as your nutrition. If you are a beginner at weightlifting/calisthenics and you do the exercises regularly with sufficient intensity, you will 100% build muscle AND lose fatty tissue. Hit the gym buddy.

Very true, my girlfriend has been getting bigger and just eating what she likes and not knowing when is enough! She’s a picker! Will just keep snacking and not realising how many calories she’s consuming. I go to the gym and do a lot of cardio, trying to do my first pull up ! 😂 so I’m not the fittest but I’m trying. She unfortunately doesn’t even like running and laughed at the fact when I mentioned we should do it together 😔. When I got with her she was beautiful inside and out but I believe she was in decent shape because she was preparing to be a bridesmaid in a wedding and now she has nothing to work for. Tough situation and I could do with some advice. I don’t want to be a dick but I need to solve the problem otherwise it will just get worse Also I eat a lot about 2500-3000 because of me going to gym but it’s not right that she eats the same if she’s not exercising

​@@jumullyett1258are you still with her?

Gym or Rock

Mine can't even ride a bike far. I always have the kids doing outdoor activities.

@@travistarp7466 Rock. I was actually pretty bad at the gym because I didn't like the ropes and I didn't have enough upper body strength. Outdoors it was easier for me to depend on balance and leg strength. Being in nature helped substantially.

William Baker That makes sense.

"that says she's ugly and you want her to be prettier" that is actually the god honest truth, no matter how much you try to deny, humans are humans

Sloof so? Why is she ugly? Because she's fat. She looks unhealthy. That's literally why she looks unappealing. She looks like she'll die young. She looks like she will get sick. Like she won't be a good mother. Aesthetics in humans ARE a matter of health.

Too late now. He already intimated that he finds her unattractive. This seems a bold move when they have never even met.

No,you can't. Men and women have completely different cravings. Men crave salty food, women the sugary, and especially so if a man is emotionally unsupportive, distant, dismissive. .which can occur if a man has no idea what his woman is doing every day to keep him satisfied, whilst dismissing her own wants and needs. There are so many stories of women losing weight after dumping their husbands. In many cases men were rageaholics, alcoholics which makes them narcissistic, so somebody has to suffer in silence with their cookie jar to avoid the abuse and find some kind of satisfaction in life.

Sometimes big girls are insecure when they lose weight and really unknowing of what they look like on the attractiveness scale. But yea, there are some that jump on that high horse when they shed a few pounds or get lipo and a bbl lol.

This is sound advice. Sorry about your brother :( but it’s true if he was happy that’s the main thing! I think I will personally change habits with my girlfriend and go down that route if she won’t change then I’ll just be straight up with her and call it off

You never have to bring it up, all you do is slowly change yours and her life incrementally until her lifestyle makes her thin. For example you start doing all the cooking and only make healthy meals. Buy yourself some running shoes and really hype up how much you want to get into the sport, ideally she will then be persuaded to start exercise too and then BOOM a few months later the problem has gone away and you never had to do anything

Because one is a choice then the other is a responsibility. You like it more when its just something you want to do, but right when soneone tells you to do it. Its almost like disinterest and then rebeling away from it. Until its just your own thing again.

Im the same way

Then again, you could just be selfish.

@@whosthere8658 I agree full-heartedly thank you for taking your time to write out this comment :-)

I believe that’s normal, at least for me. But one thing that is true is it’s still a Responsibility at the end of the day

Men income shame women too... all the time.

Leona Brawne Human beings will shame laziness and indolence. Men do not lose respect for women or value them any less if their income drops from 90k to 30k, as long as she's not lazy. If that happens to a man, though, the woman's packing her bags immediately. Sad, really. Female nature.

don't know what guys you know... but Millenial men are pussies who expect women to support them

Leona Brawne Bullshit. Don't know what "men" you know. Some men expect women to treat them fairly and pay for a fair share of things but will often let things go but never met a "man" who wants a woman to pay everything for him or even more than her fair share it's women who pull that shit.

Robgoren If that is the case then she never loved you. Whether it's because she's a person either incapable of loving anyone or just not you, I don't know.

It's not gonna happen coz consumption stimulates economy.

John Smith he's actually right. Sorry. Carbs are a bad short-term investment.

I agree with John smith. Yes simple carbs digest quickly and lead to insulin spikes (which is bad). The problem with carbs is that people don't eat the right ones. They eat shitty processed, simple carbs instead of carbs with a lot of fiber. Honestly if you just stick to as many whole food as possible that's your best bet. I swear people try to make nutrition so complicated for no reason. The less processed your food is the better off you'll be.

This approach rarely works with women in practice.

He may have already done that. She is reacting in a responsive, adult manner. Sadly, It is unlikely that there will be new doors and possibilities if she does not know who he even is.

Especially when he started with "skinny person genertics" and she did not. But this does not feel like a competition. She is impressed that he appears to have improved his health.

All of my girlfriends in my past that lasted long term worked out with me several times a week and on their own. I can only speak for myself, but it did help the relationship dramatically with making you think about each others well being out in the open with being physically fit and active, while still making healthy food choices together post workout or even day to day. That right there opened plenty of conversation topics ranging all over.

Dericelas Absolutely! Get passionate about health and let her see it. Don't talk about it all of the time, but make sure that whenever you do your eyes light up and whenever she asks you something - talk too much about it, lol. Show passion, but make it seem like you're trying to contain it and sometimes it just slips out. That gets people intrigued and also shows you're genuine and don't have an ulterior motive. I mean you _kind_ of do, but....you _kind_ don't, too.

Micah L you should told one of her female friends to hint it,,,,,,,

Micah L hey, dude, stop. Seriously. Get healthy yourself, for you. Your habits will rub off on her. But in the end, SHE MUST CHOOSE what she's going to do. You can't make her. How do men like nagging wives? Not at all. Even less do women like being told they're fat.

stop lying to yourself first. "i dont care about her look" - YOU DO. you do care. you want an attractive partner beside you. there is nothing wrong with that. stop this DESIRE-SHAMING. There is nothing wrong with that

@@DenisG631 How do you know what he wants or is attracted to?

@@salvatoredali4384 males are attracted to healthy females which have higher chances of giving birth to healthy children Being obese is not seen as healthy.

@@berend_simons lol

Matthew Morton that is... Not unfair. Especially considering men tend to be the breadwinners.

Louise thank you. For the record, I absolutely believe in taking care of "my women" in my life. I was raised by a handful of aunts and my own mom, and I know just how priceless the emotional comfort of a woman truly is, I don't ever mean to demean her value or place in this world. With all that said though lol that doesn't mean we don't, the genders, have our own special, unique God-given talents. And it's my desire to utilize those talents in the best possible way which will benefit BOTH of us, not just me, not just her. I really ain't that different from most men, it's just....I have expectations of a woman if I'm going to be with her lol. That little thing alone is missing from 85% of men these days :( I pray they find their way out of that prison.

Chain her to the bed while she's sleeping and ask her if your behavior is making her unhappy.

Patriarchy on one side and the fact that at this point you should be aware of her emotions without her telling you much. You clearely love her and want to help her,but there is a certain cultural blind spot that has to be personally understood to be able to open up the new relational paradigm between a man and his woman. On her family dynamics, check if her father was authoritarian..in some cases daughters and sons of authoritarian father(or mother) figures become emotionally numb in a sence that they can't identify their own issues which later in life causes them to feel violated if someone else tries to dig deeper on their behalf.

The only thing you mentioned in that list that had carbs ( or at least a substantially large amount) was bread, and Pizza

i eat fast food 3x a day. I used to be fat. I still eat 3x a day, all i did was remove grains, fruits, carbs, and especially sugary drinks. Low carb, dropped 40 pounds in a month. Still eating everything i want.

@@chickennuggetsonastick2388 which one's worse

Adarsh being obese

Wow, this is so insightful. Missing the days of the passion of the honeymoon phase...loosing weight can't turn back the clock. One think it might,but it can't,not for the long run anyways. There are men whose wives don't change weight, but the initial passion is not attainable anyways because it has nothing to do with weight.

Don't. Comes across as a little nosy.

Direct is the way to go. If it was bothering her, she would have told you and have started doing something, otherwise, she doesn't care. She won't like it, but she will appreciate your honesty. At least you are sincere with what is bothering you and not being a pussy

THICC = fat

fat = overweight

@@dizzyprotos262 fat=curvy

FAT= unattractive

ah this isn't his channel right haha

Are you saying that appearances don't matter? Or even health?

What if it is out of her control?

you sound like a cave man whit that narrow presentation. how about making fat people/over weight people see there inner demons on why they stuff them-self whit so much bad food and make them consider if there food intake is a form of self-love or perhaps it could be closer to self-loathing. why is that, how is this serving you? but i guess you cant see this sins all you idiots dont see your own flaws sins you are do damn dumb to do that. oh i am shaming you to think. did that work?

No. You are a bully and you are worse for fat people than any body-positivity quack. You are actively discouraging people from making positive changes and at the same time harassing them.

SuperSlavonski no. It doesn't. I as bloody far from an SJW as you can be and I know this does not work. I was fat. My husband tried to fat shame me. It made me angry and resentful and hurt and embarrassed. Know what it didn't make me? Skinny. /I/ had to decide that /I/ was better than a BMI of 28. When I did, I changed in a flash. It's down to the individual. We should not try to force people to be what we want in any regard. Why is weight different? (disregarding the socialized healthcare factor)

Louise, weight IS different from trying to force someone to be something they're not. If you try to force an introvert to be an extrovert, that's wrong because being an introvert is a part of their personality and is different but not worse than being an extrovert; the world needs both. However, being fat is a physical condition with no benefits; it's not different from being skinny, it's just plain worse with no positives attached to it. A lot of the cases that stand out, such as the one in this vid, are when the partner was skinny when the relationship began and became fat as the relationship developed. In these cases, the other partner is 100% justified in feeling cheated by the fat partner because fat people are not physically attractive and physical attraction is a HUGE part of a stable relationship (speaking form the perspective of a guy). As a woman, think of it like this: You date a man with a nice car, expensive apartment and great job. Awesome catch right? Well, after you get serious with him, he quits his job, lays around doing nothing, sells his car and moves to a crappy apartment. Would you stay in a relationship with him? That's how men feel when women get fat after the relationship gets serious. It shows a complete lack of care for your partner's needs and desires. Even fat shaming strangers is acceptable in my opinion, because like it or not humans are social creatures and being fat shows a lack of self control. Being fat is basically telling the world "I have a complete lack of self control, to the point that I am severely endangering the health and well-being of my body to indulge in all the food I want to eat." If someone isn't able to control themselves in such an obvious and simple manner, imagine what else they will lack in other areas which require self control.

Thank you! I don't understand how people can even disagree with this (well the reason is quite evident, admittedly). If a guy all of a sudden decides he's going to ditch his well paying job, move to Australia to live on the beach and become a surfer, does his wife HAVE TO be okay with that? When your (lack of) action affects not only oneself but others as well, other people have the right to be displeased.

If keeping a healthy weight is "simple" everyone would do it.

Keeping a healthy weight is very simple.

Vadim Panibrates It *is* simple, a lot of people just find it easier to get fat and stay fat. Shame on them, not people who promote Calories In/Calories Out.

Laura Icahn I'm sorry, but being attractive is not one of the "duties" of being in a relationship. The boyfriend says he loves her even though she is overweight. If you don't want an overweight partner, maybe don't date someone overweight. Don't be in a relationship with an overweight person and then expect them to lose it just for you.

Doesn't work for everyone

depends on the person, if you are ignorant and can only take offense to it then of course you wont do anything about your body. but in the case when the person is self aware and takes the criticism as motivation then they are willing to work hard to fix the problem. works for a lot of other aspects in life

@@randomoneguy That's not all there's to it. Some people eat when they're depressed, and it's not something you can always control with willpower. Some people also have physiological issues that require medical aid. Generalizing people might lead you to shame the wrong person and embarrass yourself.

right, and these people with depression and physiological issues in the end are still insecure, which cause them to take fat shaming only as a insult. I didn't specify why they may be ignorant to the issue, doesn't matter the reason, in the end result, you are still ignoring the issue. Unfortunately, reasons like depression may be more severe and just when it comes to issues regarding body image. But, telling them oh, its fine, you are depressed so you should be 500 pounds or you should have eating disorder is wrong. In fact, i think in the cases where the person have these psychological problems, it would be even more important to actually help them professsionally rather than telling them oh you have an excuse.

@@randomoneguy You're wrong. Not always are depressed people ignorant or take offense of shaming. You're being irrational and treating sickness and disorders as something that can be treated with mere reason and willpower. I'm not making an excuse to them, just exposing the fact that your narrow view is wrong and you're trying to put these people on the same category as lazy and ignorant individuals.

No, he said you will lose weight (which is true), and then he said that he doesn't recommend it because it's unhealthy (which is also true). I don't see the problem in what he said.

@@EmperorHerpes Sex was not the only thing I wanted from her. I wanted to build a life with her. I just don't know why she thought I would view her as unattractive. I wanted to be hers if she would be mine. For now and forever.

I don't know her, but suspect she's been poisoned by the bad "food" and bad advice. Seed oils are poison, as are processed carbs, in my opinion. The overweight people I see around me are all suffering from "metabolic syndrome" induced by these poisons marketed as foods. In my opinion. Fasting is a potent way to detoxify and return to health (again, in my opinion).

The exercise in itself is not hard, the hardest part is to convince your mind to stop being lazy. The second hardest part is convincing your brain that you shouldn't eat like a sumo wrestler. It's so simple, I can't stand how people go out of their way to find extremely complicated diets and spend thousands of dollars in 'shortcuts' that rarely work.

@@MrLoowiz just like you said, the exercise routine can be very hard to maintain for long periods of time, but its necessary. Miracle solutions are just bullshit. Its simple in theory, but not at all when you try It. Took me a lot of effort to get my shit together

My landlady was accosted by a Vegan in a shop the other day. She was FAT and yet stated she was 'healthier than my landlady'. My landlady is about 70 and in good shape for her age. She's certainly not got any apparent health issues. Just because you go Vegan, won't make you healthier (or anything for that matter). Given the requirement of additional B12 I would never recommend going Vegan. Especially since it and strict vegetarianism really cut you off from exploring different foods and severely limit you when going out with friends. I was strict vegetarian for 7 years and I still mostly eat vegetarian (because good quality meat is expensive). I will still generally choose a vegetarian option even. I just don't really like the taste of meat especially if it hasn't been seasoned or transformed. Caloric intake is all that really matters, sure eating good food is GOOD but if you eat too many calories you're going to be fat. Portion control, eliminate snacking and progress can be made.

I'm sorry Stingrae but a lot of what you say is bullshit. Limiting options is not reason to murder animals that want to live. Caloric intake is not all that matters if you get your calories from fats that severely increase your LDL cholesterol that leads to heart decease. Just because there are vegan cunts on this planet doesn't mean that a vegan diet isn't healthy. And with one point I agree; a vegan diet is not by definition healthy. However, its much more difficult to eat unhealthy on a vegan diet than on a omnivorous diet.

Caloric intake is ALL that matters with weight loss, I never said anything about other aspects of health. A vegetarian diet in most cases with milk and eggs is superior to a vegan diet. The places which are 'blue zones' are mostly vegetarian with some fish in their diet. That's the healthiest way for humans to live without a degree in nutritional science and a fortune to spend on scarce nuts and seeds. I live in Africa and you can get all the 'vegan foods' but they're very expensive. If you want a diet that'll make you poor and unhappy a vegan diet is a great thing. Bread intake is too high in the west, meat intake in the west is also far too high but in order to decrease it all vegans/vegetarians would be better off spending the extra money on organic meat to encourage more humane farming practices (and campaigning against Halaal). Live and let live, eat what you want and enjoy life. That's the best way to live. We're humans we're not herbivores, we're far more complex and some of that complexity has to do with Racial genetics e.g. black and asians have significantly more cases of lactose intolerance.You should ideally eat a diet which causes no harm to your body but that's a lot harder than it sounds because each person has different reactions to certain foods. Some people feel sick after chicken, others after brinjals and some after bananas. There's no one diet for the human race but a whole heap of preferences.

Still not true, the amount of energy it takes for the body to break down calories differs between refined foods, fruit and fats etc. There is no humane way to kill animals. And yeah, live and let live, does that count for animals too? We should eat a diet that causes also no harm to other animals if possible. You don't need to eat shit tons of nuts and seeds to survive on a vegan diet. Just eat normal as a vegan and you are fine. How is a vegetarian diet superior to a vegan diet? Because you are consuming large amounts of dietary cholesterol? Because you are raping cows to get milk and then stealing their calf after they are born only to kill the male calf and feed them to their mother? Or are those billions of male chicks that get thrown into a meatgrinder the superior side? Nothing about milk and eggs is particularly healthy. Only milk shows some potential to lower the chances of breast cancer but it increases others.

"the amount of energy it takes for the body to break down calories differs between refined foods, fruit and fats etc." You can lose weight by calorie counting eating solely junk food. edition.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/index.html "There is no humane way to kill animals. And yeah, live and let live, does that count for animals too?" Why? under what obligation are we to not eat animals? This line of reasoning results in idiots feeding obligate carnivores 'vegan cat food'. There are of course humane ways to kill animals. "Because you are consuming large amounts of dietary cholesterol?" Not once did I state consume large amounts of anything. > egg consumption has been shown to increase circulating HDL-cholesterol > apoA-I was significantly increased following egg consumption (p < 0.05). ApoA-I is the primary apolipoprotein associated with reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), the transfer of excess cholesterol from extrahepatic tissues to HDL for clearance. jn.nutrition.org/content/early/2017/08/08/jn.117.254193.abstract www.fasebj.org/content/31/1_Supplement/431.7.short I'm sure I could find more sources but your understanding of cholesterol is about 10 years out of date. The moral argument is inconsequential, all those practices will be improved with technology. Humans do need meat, at the very least eggs and milk because B12 is essential for cognitive development of Children. Fish and meat also contribute towards brain development because they are essentially packed with nutrients. Is it moral to encourage people to introduce Nurture as a negative effects on the intelligence of Children? Most people make dietary mistakes, vegan dietary mistakes are downright dangerous though. I don't think the moral argument stands in light of the possible negative effects on human progress. To quote my meat eating friends: "Eat some bacon, it's good for your brain".

Hernán Cortés your just making assumptions dumbass

+Luisa L good point! Works because it puts one's body into fat burning mode during the non-eating window. Many benefits, including decreased insulin resistance. Breaks the cycle of carbohydrate addiction!

Jerome V. What does condense your eating window mean? I'm not an English speaker, if you've got time, I'd appreciate your replay.

"Condense your eating window" = limit your eating to a shorter block of time during the day. Example: eat only between 12:00 and 18:00 means you have a 6 hour eating window. Compared to eating between 6:00 and 20:00, which is a 14 hour eating window. Google for "Intermitent fasting" for more.

Although I happen to like and apply intermittent fasting, that's a bit of a ridiculous statement, don't you think?

Jerome V. Thanks a lot!

+Freshly Vegan maybe complex carbs work for you, but for some of us they feed the glucose > insulin > fat storage (via lipo-neogenesis) > crash > cravings for more "complex" carbs, Repeat ad infinitum cycle. I'm guessing you're still young.

Freshly Vegan oh hush. You're a damn vegan.

Vegans don't make sense. We have canines. We didn't evolve to only eat fruit.

I'll agree with the vegan even though I am neither vegan nor vegetarian. There's no denying the health benefits of a mostly plant diet (incidentally these diets include higher carb intakes). If you can't lose and maintain a healthy weight eating mostly whole grains, beans, legumes, vegetables, and fruits (with small amounts of animal products) then you're doing something wrong.
