5 Reasons Why Americans Are FATTER Than Europeans! | AND GETTING WORSE! #MAFA

Your life isn't a game or a funny meme. Being overweight at age 10 is ridiculous and being able to say that out loud shouldn't be considered "body shaming". My goal has and always will be to help teach fitness to the world. But every video can't just be a new workout idea or exercise for bigger biceps. Hard truths hit home and I hope that if you are reading this and are overweight that you know there is always a chance to change and I can help you get there.

This article is going to hit home with some hard truths that will either make you upset, or help you decide to finally take the steps needed to make positive changes in your life. You don’t have to be a nutritional expert or a doctor to realize that more and more Americans are becoming obese. You can literally go to your local mall, walk around, and see it. In fact, believe it or not, one third of Americans, or 110 million, are classified as obese, and that’s not even taking into account those who are simply overweight, and hovering between healthy and obese.

But how come when we travel to places like Europe, the obesity epedemic we face seems non-existent? Sure, Europeans have been watching their waistlines grow bigger, but not at the same rate as Americans. In fact, only 1 in 6 Europeans is considered obese. That’s only about 17% of the population, which means that they are only HALF as FAT as we are. But why? Is there a secret we don't know about? Well, there are 5 VERY good reasons, which we're going to go over now!

Reason #1 – We Do NOT Eat Many Vegetables…If Any!
The first and possibly most important reason why Americans are fatter than our fellow Europeans simply lies in our nutrition choices. Most of our meals contain little to no vegetables and fruits and those that do, usually include some kind of potatoes or tomatoes. No dark leafy greens, no broccoli, no lettuce, no cucumbers and worst of all, very limited beans and nuts. Especially with so many people allergic to nuts these days – what's up with that? All these foods are known to be calorie-thin, yet extremely filling, because they contain FIBER.

Fibers make you fill satiated for longer, therefore reducing the appearances of cravings and binge eating. But it goes far deeper than that. Fruits, vegetables, beans and nuts actually contain a tremendous amount of vitamins and minerals which our bodies NEED in order to lose weight, and help with absorption of our macronutrients.

Think about it like this; if your body is sick from the inside, missing micro-nutrients and fighting with chronic diseases, it will NOT prioritize weight loss, and a multivitamin is certainly not the solution. It doesn't matter if you're in a calorie deficit, and I don't care if you're exercising daily. Your fat loss will still be impeded by your poor nutrition and lifestyle choices. But the worst news here is that all of this information only accounts to our HOME meals alone, which brings us to our second reason.

Reason #2 – We Eat Out A Lot!
Over the last couple of years I visited both the United Kingdom, France and Greece, and while I definitely noticed a few fast food joints and restaurants, it was NOTHING like what’s happening here in the States, and the fast foods shops there are much healthier, in my opinion. If you see the golden arches in America, you know that Wendy's, Burger, Arby's and Panda Express are lurking somewhere close by. The fact of the matter is we are cooking less and less and eating away from home more and more. But why? Maybe because it’s more convenient, maybe because it’s less time-consuming or maybe because we don’t know any better. Due to inflation and high divorce rates, a lot of parents just don't have time to cook, so lots of kids grow up under the impression that daily fast food is OK. It’s definitely not because it’s less pricey though. Cooking and making your own home-made meals will always be much cheaper, but more than half of our food dollars are now being spent on restaurants and convenient on-the-go meals.
