Even if bw, as a whole, lose weight, it will not change the way bm with negative feelings towards us feel. Let's just say that MOST bw are really overweight (which I doubt), then why would they listen to black men or YOU if the same mutherfuckers running around talking about they don't date black women because they're fat turn around and get a fat ass white woman? Shit makes no sense.

[StatuesqueOne]

@yvessaintlaurent88 - That may be true. But this is a matter of Life and Death, not whether a black man wants black women or white women or anything else. This is about whether they want their arteries clogged with fat or have smooth blood flow. Whether they want to keep their gallbladder or have it removed. Whether they want to pick out a new wardrobe for their slimmer figure or have their family pick out their new coffin. This is a matter of living or dying. Die to spite men? Makes no sense,

@yvessaintlaurent88 Yawn!! REALLY!!???? Someone posts a video on a black woman's HEALTH- a matter of life and death.. and bitter women come on here slinging the "black men this and that: trash? - what the hell?

I don't think about any man when I think about my health. I think about me. It sounds like you really need to be on a therapists couch! BIT-TER!

[SEEKIN4BENEFIT]

this video is great only thing i say is that seems like a lot to cut out and most ppl fail when they cut out so much and actually start doing worse than before because they are so deprived even with the health scare statistics and tactics so my question is how do you deal with a person who fails when they are deprived?

I've switched to a totally vegan diet and I feel soooo good. If you eat a healthy vegan diet, because you can be a vegan and still eat unhealthy foods, if you eat a healthy diet you will look in your mirror one day and see this smaller person looking back so fast, and feeling so much better, it took less than a week for me to feel the effect of eating a primarily plant based diet. About two 1/2 weeks when I noticed my clothes were looser. Wonderul loving it!

[faithtwoonefive]

@kgrn62 true I had a coworker tell me that I was eating "white people food" when I ate a wrap of veggies sundried tomato and feta cheese!

[kgrn62]

it has been said that some black women thinking eating healthy is "acting white" what a shame, because eating un-healthy is eating like SLAVE

[kgrn62]

church you tell them

[Famfriass]

@MsLotusBlooms PREACH!

[Famfriass]

I totally agree with StatuesqueOne!! 400% We as black people must start taking our health seriously.

[Famfriass]

You have to cleanse your liver, colon, and gallbladder...that's the first thing. Once you have cleansed your body, now it's time to put healthy foods in your body like more RAW fruits, veggies, water, and lots of green foods (the darker the better no pun intended). You must work out and keep your mind in a positive state because, "as a man thinkenth in his heart so is HE."

[MsLotusBlooms]

@yvessaintlaurent88 Well, when you become fit and healthy...there's a chance that non-black men will take interest. Black women's figures are phenomenal when they are fit. I'm fit and I attract everybody.

[munnamark]

Oh hello! Have you thought about intellectus 424 diet (do a google search)? Ive heard some great things about it and my work buddy lost tons of weight with it.

[SpankRamen2]

Can't afford the gym? Walking is free & all you need is 30 minutes a day!

Worried about your hair? Braids look good on all Black women.

Can't get to good produce? Try starting a garden. There are clips, right here on youtube, showing how to grow vegetables Indoors!!!

[SpankRamen2]

Aldi is a gift to broke-ass Americans. They have really stepped up their game. Yesterday

(12-7-11) I bought: 2 pureheart melons (aka personal melon) for $1.68 each, 3 mangoes for $.79 each, bag of apples for $1.29, 1 bunch of Bananas for .25 per pound, 2 cucumbers for .39 each... OK, It's a long list (& yes I eat meat, too, but cut back). I know that many of our 'hoods' don't have stores which carry good produce, but if you can get to an Aldi, you can eat a lot better. Trust me.

[yaacobUriyah]

PLEASE DO ME A FAVOR EVERYONE...NEXT TIME YOU GO TO THE SUPERMARKET AND JUST OBSERVE THE CONTENT OF PEOPLE BASKET, IT IS SHOCKING TO SEE ALL THE JUNK FOOD YOUNG BLACK MOTHERS LOAD IN THEIR BASKET.....I AM STUNNED MANY DO NOT HAVE VEGGIES,,,MAYBE A BAG OF ONION. IT IS SICKENING !!!  JUST CHECK IT OUT NEXT TIME YOU GO TO THE SUPERMARKET.....MANY OF THESE NWOMEN ARE YOUND AND OBESE AND THEIR KIDS ARE SO HYPER THEY TIRE YOU TO JUST WATCH. IT BEGINING TO SEEM THEY ARE NOT FIT FOR MOTHERHOOD.

[chico5817]

I absolutely agree. One major problem, in black neighborhoods, is the lack of access to groceries where you can buy a wide variety of fresh fruits, vegetables and lean meats. Alot of black folks dont live near a Whole Foods, nor have ready access to them. Most black folks can find a McDonalds or Wendys nearby or an order of pizza just a phone call away

[MsLoyalLover]

Wow. I want to lose weight but all these don't are usually the reason that I don't stick to it. It looks like I am about 12lbs over that charted ideal weight. What am I supposed to eat brown rice and lettuce. No packaged food, everything in the grocery store is packaged, am I supposed to go out and hunt for dinner?

I want to be healthy but if that means, that I can't have a cookie every now and then...

[Vessoland]

Wow, looking at that chart.

I am 5'3" 99lbs. Can't gain a pound no matter what I eat, and I'm a black woman. Thank goodness I still have curves!

[Bhatch2007]

Be careful not to drink too much water. Over-hydration is more likely to occur than dehydration.

[Bhatch2007]

With all the overweight folk I see, this needs to be for EVERYBODY. Lol. So serious.

[kia476]

@yvessaintlaurent88 the focus shouldnt be even about what bm or what anyone else think we have to love us! and aslong as we love ourselves who cares what some bm think.. the greatest reward to yourself is good health its about what you think no one but you !

[seinfeildsucks]

I wont pass on a black chick that is "healthy" If she got a big ass and flat stomach wit some big tities, why in gods name should I pass that up?! I could understand if your talking about Monique's weight or that chick from precious. I can't help it I like black women with assets! You can call me a "Pervert or something but I'm just attracted to bw. If they lose their "Assets" why don't I just move to a deserted island cause my shit will stay soft.

[obatron1]

Ladies all you have to do is make a few lifestyle changes and it will work wonders for your hips.

[obatron1]

This is a great video for both men and women. I'm a 6'5 male about 205lbs which is at a normal BMI level. I use to weigh in the upper 220's which was not a good look because I'm naturally slim. What did I do...stopped eating pork, drinking soda and other soft drinks and stopped eating all the junk food I use to eat on a regular basis.

[wogahboy]

great post!

[mimi42428]

then eat 500 less calories than the RDA.try to cut out sugar and salt.drink alot of water and replace fatty extras with salads and green veg.try soya protein shakes with soya milk.try chlorella and spirulina powders as a meal replacement if not particularly hungry but you want to get your essential proteins and vitamin.it really isnt as hard as its made out to be.weight loss is in your mind,if you tell yourself you can be a certain weight then you can be that weight.

[mimi42428]

people will look how they want.its up to a person to make the decision to stop overeating.people in general. if you are active then eat a certain amount of calories and i mean good calories and moderate yourself on the stuff that you like but arent particularly good for you.you really do not have to exercise.,thats a myth.unless you are massively obese then you dont.eat the amount of calories needed for you to loose or maintain a certain weight.if youre not active or not particularly active.....
