Fat is not just stored energy, it’s a complex organ that controls crucial hormones and communicates with your brain, immune system, and metabolism. It’s one of the most powerful organs, but it can be one of the most dangerous ones, as well. When there’s too much of it, fat can trigger inflammation, disrupt hormonal balance, increase your risk for nearly every major disease, and significantly shorten your life.
What is fat really, and how does it function? When does it become dangerous and can the damage caused by excessive amounts of fat be reversed?

What do we do when we are too chronically ill from other diseases and we can't work out. People with MCAS, ME-CFS and Long covid (Post exertion malaise) cannot work out. I gained weight after becoming ill with these issues and no amount of calorie restriction helps. Drs look at you and say "fat" but won't ask why.
Please do a video about under nutrition
I love bottoms heavy women! If they don’t have some visible fat down there I don’t want em! 👍
this video makes me empathize with fatties more now. how fucked up is it that being fat makes u hungry more and the only way to get rid of that feeling is to just lose weight? not v easy w that mental condition
❤
I know this video was supposed to motivate me to lose weight, but in reality it just made me more pessimistic about the future
Can you make a zerruca vidoe ❤
Greed.
Could you please make a video on muscle atrophy?
Fat isn’t inherently bad, but an excess of it is. Bad being = make you feel like shit and die young.
People that think being overly chubby is a "cute", and "sweet" character trait for their OCs after seeing this;
nothing works like a calorie register, make records daily, even if you have no deficit, just record it, use AI to tell you the calorie cost of what you ate, stick to it religiously…in 2 weeks you will get thwe hang of it, 7700 calories = 1kg of fat lost or 2.2 pounds
Then why do I hate hamburgers but I like fries
I try to eat right, and while I don't know how many health issues they have, I am surrounded by fat people who get along just as well as I do only they have a lot more fun eating. When I see these PSA's I think of the people who have no idea, don't care, and are living just the same as those who do listen to them.
Great video 👍
The part about fat cells literally dying when they outgrow their own size was new to me. Really reframes weight gain as a cellular problem rather than just a number on the scale — the visuals make the biology so much easier to grasp.
So here I am, sitting and eating…
This is really helpfull for an overweight person as myself. I'm really grateful for these types of videos.
Body fat and fat from food having the same name caused so much misconceptions…
niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thought the thumbnail was the sun tbh
He luchado contra mi peso toda mi vida, y entonces, en marzo de este año decidí hacer un cambio.
A día de hoy he perdido 5 kilos, de los 15 que debo perder para llegar a los 90 kg.
Para todas las personas que están allá afuera: Pueden hacerlo.
Turn insane 
Yes, Oregon 
Omg if there is a video to be translated is this one.!!!
9:25 DID U SAY POTENTIAL?
HAH funny 
I went on a run, and did some exercise at a free gym/ fitness track. I'll start eating stews, eggs, protein? I want to be muscular and lean (Jolyne Cujoh's body is my goal) I'll excersize six days a week. I'll get better
Sinto falta da introdução, dos patos fofinhos e da sensação de choque de realidade. No canal em português "em poucas palavras" ainda estamos um pouco atrasados nos vídeos, ainda me sinto animado ao assistir. Entretanto por aqui eu não reconheço o canal, parece que estão criando com IA. Não aparece patos e sim humanos. E as coisas parecem ser loucas revirando os olhos e línguas… Vocês se perderam no próprio estilo, por favor retornem.

Wow what a useful information 👏🏻

2:37 RAAAAAAAA-
This video was the first time I really reconsidered my weight and kicked off my weightloss.
I started at 152kg back then and im at 144 now.
Well, I have the opposite problem. I don't eat enough.
Watching this makes me say sorry to my body so much
6.8
You can do it… I went from 230 pounds to 190 pounds. Still working to go down to 175. No more snacks, 3 normal meals, 2-3 20-30min walks everyday, no sweets, juice or drinks, except on very special occasion (1-2 times a month max).
Diet of mostly vegetables and proteins, very small amount of carbs.
Then you can add a bit of gym to maintain muscles 💪 ! You Will see results really fast at first, every month should make you feel proud and give you the motivation to continue. You do it for 4-6 months and you will be a very different person. I already feel a lot better.
Thanks again for more awesome content!Just shows how much lifestyle can influence health outcomes.
I would love to see a video from this channel about refined sugar.
I don't comment much, I like the video.. sure; to the point I have to watch a 3 minutes of unskippable ads smh
Then why do other people eat a lot of food but remain skinny
