Legal immigration to America is ridiculously slow & difficult, even for super talented people. Needs to be fixed.

If you're looking to:

- Shred fat
- Build muscle
- Reverse aging

DM me "Fit" and let's chat!

[Michael Morelli @morellifit]

Those are the 3 main differences I found that separate Europe & the obesity/health crisis in America.

If there's anything you think I missed...

Let me know below:

[Michael Morelli @morellifit]

• They prioritize community/relationships
• Heavy focus on work-life balance
• Foods aren't filled with chemicals
• Better healthcare system
• They're more active

Among many other things that lead to an overall less stressful life.

& less stress-induced weight gain.

[Michael Morelli @morellifit]

Why is this relevant?

Americans are more stressed out than ever.

This is due to a combination of 100s of things like the economy, overworking, etc.

Which causes them to gain weight.

Whereas Europeans are significantly less stressed.

Why?

[Michael Morelli @morellifit]

3. Stress levels.

When we look at the science of how stress affects the body:

Increase in cortisol levels (stress hormone) slows down metabolism & makes it harder to lose weight + easier to gain it.

+ People tend to eat more when they're stressed.

Here's a video I did on it:

[Michael Morelli @morellifit]

+ It's a big part of why Europeans can eat a ton of carbs & not go to the gym...

But still stay skinny.

They simply walk way more than Americans & burn more calories that way.

Walking everywhere daily > going to the gym 3x a week & sitting on the couch the rest of the time.

[Michael Morelli @morellifit]

Because sitting is the new smoking.

& a sedentary lifestyle is the norm for people in America.

This means that Americans sitting around all day & getting < 5000 steps a day is a huge contributor to why obesity rates are so high.

[Michael Morelli @morellifit]

• Sitting all-day
• Driving everywhere
• Hunched over a desk working

Instead...

They're walking around the city to visit family & friends, out working in the garden/on the farm, walking to the markets/shops, etc.

Why does this matter?

[Michael Morelli @morellifit]

This is even shown with the alcohol they drink.

In cities like Italy, they drink alcohol almost daily.

The biggest difference?

They're drinking local wines that aren't filled with sugar/calories.

Like this wine from Sardinia, Italy:

[Michael Morelli @morellifit]

They're eating these same exact foods.

The only difference?

These foods are being made from scratch with natural ingredients.

They aren't getting filled with 100s of preservatives & additives.

Which makes them not only less calories...

But better for the human body.

[Michael Morelli @morellifit]

Like pastas, breads, whole grains, etc.

Are all filled with harmful chemicals, a ton of sugar & cheap calories.

So when Americans eat these foods?

They gain weight, get diseases like diabetes & cancer, & destroy their bodies.

Whereas in Europe...

[Michael Morelli @morellifit]

The United States is the leading country in ultra-processed food consumption.

Ultra-processed foods account for about 60% of the total daily caloric intake for Americans.

This is because so much of the food in America is processed.

Even the things that don't NEED to be...

[Michael Morelli @morellifit]

1. Food quality.

Looks start with what I consider to be one of the most drastic differences:

What's IN both American foods & European foods.

Let's start with the American diet:

[Michael Morelli @morellifit]

To show you I'm not just making this up...

Look at the chart below of the Obesity rates between Europe & America.

It's a night & day difference.

Obesity rates in America: 42%.

Obesity rates in Europe: 17%.

That's about a 2.5x increase.

But why is this the case?

Well...

[Michael Morelli @morellifit]

Europeans can be in amazing shape & live to 100+ while:

• Eating carbs 24/7
• Rarely going to the gym
• Drinking alcohol every day

But when Americans do it?

They become obese & get sick.

It took some time...

But I think I found what EXACTLY is going on:
