New Reality Show Tries to Shape Up WV Town
A new reality show featuring famous British chef Jamie Oliver, is set to start filming in Huntington West Virginia, which has been given the (some say unfair) title of the fattest and unhealthiest city in the US. The chef is supposed to help teach the city how to cook and eat healthier, and has previously tried to get schools to cook healthier lunches and offer healthier alternatives to it’s students and things like that to help shape up America, or wherever it is that he happens to be filming a series.
I think it’s definitely an intriguing concept to film a show that is committed to helping public produce healthier choices, but I can definitely see why residents of that town are wary of having someone come in and try to change things up for the sake of whipping their “fatness” into shape. I think shows like that only exemplify the sad state of the obesity epidemic here in America, and invent it harder for us to shake the image of the “fat Americans” although certainly other countries are catching up to us and even outpacing us, such as Mexico, as the fattest and most unhealthy areas to live in.
Does it mean that everyone there lives an unhealthy lifestyle and eats rubbish all day? Definitely not, but I’m certain that’s how residents there feel shows like that portray them. I have mixed feelings about it, but it is bound to be a hit, as many other reality shows are today that exploit humans.

My fiance and I followed that diet quite successfully for a year or so and lost a lot of weight doing do, but we additionally tended to get into really vile moods considering of not having sufficient carbs in our system. I believe that it’s easier to snap and plus to have blue moods more often when you follow a low carb diet, particularly whether it’s a particularly strict one.
What we did to “compensate” for the fact that we were constantly depriving ourselves of carbs, which we all tend to love so much, was we would load up on fats, which isn’t necessarily good for your cholesterol or your liver. I plus think that eating so much meat has a profound effect on your overall digestive system, particularly your colon, which can easily get clogged up when you are eating too many meats and cheeses.
You need to build certain that you get abundant fibrous material when you are low carbing it, or else you will end up blocked up quite a bit, which means you are unable to go to the bathroom as often as you could. that in itself can put you in a foul mood!
