99% of all Americans today either are an immigrant themselves or have an ancestor within living memory who was one
That’s a shocking stat to me. My perspective is probably skewed because I am from a small town in central Appalachia so nearly everyone in the county was from one of the families that settled the area shortly before the American Revolution. I would have assumed the percentage of people whose families immigrated here before the Civil War was much higher.
Soups and stews are great for meal prep. They’re also great for weight loss because they have a high water content adding bulk without calories. They are also usually easy to make in a slow cooker.
The mods don’t look particularly active so I’m going to make a guess based on how the reddit community worked.
Medical interventions are fine to talk about so long as they are kept in perspective. Medication, surgery, therapy, etc are tools that can help with weight loss. They aren’t a magic bullet and losing weight requires effort and commitment with or without them. They shouldn’t be pushed on others and no one should be discouraged from using them. Respect that the journey is a personal one.
