How do you determine what is "too much"? If you measure it by weigh gain, then all of them are eating too much. But if you measure it by "they eat until they are satisfied and no more than that", probably most of them aren't eating too much.
That I suspect is very common. Then again, many modern jobs involve sitting all day and the day has a finite number of hours, and at least in North America cities are car-dependent so many people don't even get to commute by foot. It's an environment that produces very sedentary people.
There is also lack of sleep, which I personally suffer from. How many of us are getting a good eight hours of good quality sleep every night?
There is more to it than "personal responsibility".
Sounds like excuses to me.
Excuses to what? Why do you think people are overweight?
Eating to much/not burning enough As states before
That's not an explanation on why you think they're doing it. It's just a description of what's happening.
You are right, losing weight is really easy. And you will show those lazy fatties by losing 5Kg/10lbs this year.
Wait, did I hear any excuses?
Well it is easy for me. I didn’t want to offend here anyone
I get this is also an emotional subject for some people. I helped people to lose weight and to build muscles. And also didn’t judge them.
So if I offended anyone here, im sorry that wasn’t my intention.
That is the excuse you will get. Have a good evening
