How Japan Dodged The American Obesity Problem

from OB Health Podcast · host Ob_health

I'm a fat-loss coach with 10+ years in the game, and I just watched "How Japan escaped Obesity while America got Fat." Everyone says Japan's food makes them skinny. After spending two weeks there myself, I'm calling BS. It's actually EASIER to lose weight in America. Here's the real reason Japan isn't fat, and why it has almost nothing to do with the food.Japan's obesity rate is 4.5%. America's is over 40%. But it's not seed oils, it's not the convenience stores, and it's not some magic Japanese diet. It comes down to calories, portion sizes, and steps. We eat roughly double the food and walk half as much. That's it. The good news: America actually has MORE healthy options, more protein, and more fiber than Japan. It's not the food making us fat. It's our choices.Reacting to: How Japan escaped Obesity while America got Fat by What I've Learnedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH6Wq4KWu7MWant my team to build your fat-loss system the same way?
