Video that explains obesity

[Tim Mauri 7]

I created this YouTube video to (hopefully) help reduce the stigma associated with obesity.

I'd love to know what you all think, and I'd be honored if you'd share it with others.

LOVE IT!!!

Wow, really impressed. I would love to see a continuation of how obesity (in Amanda) is effected by different options other than just diet and exercise. You say act on obesity, but sharing the video only promotes acceptance (which is great), but I'd love to see options on how to act to reduce obesity. Are there ways to inform ones body to reset the set point! Why and how do some people succeed at dieting, and how do the various gastric surgeries succeed so well. I could envision Amanda after a sleeve surgery be like trading in her SUV gas tank for that of a scooter.

All these suggestions are just for the future, I really love what you made so far. I love it so much that I'd like to see more, which is why I suggest these next steps. Congrats and beautiful work!

Fantastic video, Tim! I'm definitely going to share. I also embedded it directly into your post for easier viewing.

Thanks for the positive feedback, folks.

Eli, believer it or not, I've got another version that ends with a short explanation of how bariatric surgery works to recalibrate the set point. I decided to put this version out there first, though. I think it's so important for people to understand obesity --- I wanted to focus on that first and foremost.

Alex, hope to see you soon!

Best,

Tim

Very watchable and like the other poster said, it left me wanting more information. Looking forward to more videos. Great job!

Well done! I will share it. It is interesting that people consider obesity a lifestyle choice. Perhaps they choose that idea for things that they choose not to understand. I remember the term lifestyle choice being used for human sexuality, when now most people recognize that love is more than that.
