It has nothing to do where a person lives, but about their will. I live in the US. I didn't gain weight during the pandemic. I don't drink alcohol every day or eat junk food or fast food. I exercise daily, buy fresh products, eat organic or non-GMO food, and spend as much as possible outdoors, not in crowded places but enjoy nature. I would do the same thing anywhere. Anyone moving to a new places gets the excitement of the first days, walks a lot, eat local food in moderation, and, of course, loses weight. All that it lost after a while. To change your body, you need to change your brain first. The Greeks and Romans, and most cultures, knew that thousands of years ago
W DAVE
I think you were cuter before, but feeling better and being healthier is more important.
You say "Portugal" way too much…just saw older video. It's clear that's where you are and what country you're talking about…
I admire your courage and ambition. Good luck!
Changes on your diet, whatever it might be, will impact heavily on your body. The fact that you have moved to another country implies that your diet will change even if you keep eating the same thing as in your country (ingredients for the same "food brands" differ from one country to the other). As an example, I moved in into the UK from Portugal 10 years ago, and I have instantly gained weight, even maintaining the same diet/meal routines and increasing my body work rate. This had to do with slight changes on the ingredients of some of the food that I was used to eat in Portugal (mainly pasta and bread, but also some biscuits and yogurts for example). The bread for example (freshly cooked), in Portugal the dough is prepared on the same day that it is cooked, while in UK it is mainly manufacturer by a big factory, frozen and sent to diverse bakeries across the UK. It is very hard to find one that does their own dough. Also, the ingredients used are slightly different, which impacts the way your body will react to it.
Another factor is the weather. If you move from a cold/mild country into a hotter one, your body will try to get rid of some fat to balance the body natural temperature control, while the other way around also reflects (if you move to cold/mild country from a hotter one, your body will try to store more body fat to keep you warm).
I experienced exactly the same improvements after moving from the US to Brazil and, except for the minor normal effects of aging (greying hair and a little loss of muscle mass), my health has improved with each passing year (over a 10 year period). Other than being careful about sugar intake I just follow the standard Brazilian diet, which actually most Americans would consider unhealthy: high protein (and a lot of red meat) and high fat.
Moved from LatAm to US and I always feel ill after meals. As if the food isn’t nourishing my body like it did back home. I’m planning a move to Europe next year, and the quality food is what I’m looking forward to the most.
US food seems more about food as entertainment than nutrition.
Spain and portugal ❤r the bestests
As a european, i still don't understand the concept of the american dream. The concept seems so weird to me. Don't we live all in the same world?
I remeber the first time i visited the US and went to a fast food restaurant i had to comment that im only buyung a portion for myself and not for the whole family of 4. I was then informed that ny humungus portion was for a single person.
And another time when I asked for the health option they simply put a few shabby looking lettuce on the side.
Finally i visited an all you can eat restaurant and left without placing an order as just looking at the amount of food there made me feel sick
Unfortunately it seems that the majority of Americans want to eat themselves to an early grave.
I'm going to lisbon for 2 weeks soon. ❤
Hi Dave – I just retired at 67 and I plan to move to Portugal once my situations in US are settled. I also was born in MI, lived 5 years in Spain, returned to America [Colorado] in 2005 and now, I plan to retire in Portugal. I enjoy watching your videos!❤ My concern is that I know I will someday be homesick – this is so confusing… you know that moving to a foreign country is a nighmare – I am 67 – woman on my own…
Vegans die first, meat eaters die next, vegetarians live longest. Particularly WFPB vegetarians.
Political vegans are liars. And this channel supports vegans.
In Europe organic food is way more expensive. Portugal is not the same as "Europe". You don't know Europe. Clown.
Seed oils in the US and a major reason Americans are so unhealthy. Heart disease exploded when it was introduced in the 1950s. Crisco oil was originally a fuel not meant to be eaten. Europeans use primarily Olive oil and butter which is so much healthier!
I have been here since April and I can fit into my jeans so much better and it’s only been 5 months. Woohoo
I lived in the US before, and I would say it is a mix of everything you mentioned that caused you to become and feel more healthy. We do walk, bicycle etc much more in Europe. Many people eat healthier and smaller portions. We are aware of what's important for us to remain fit. However, it's a choice the individual has to make on a daily basis. Somehow, it's easier to make those choices here though! I live in Sweden by the way. Thanks for an interesting video!
The US is just a downgrade, I am so happy that I said good bye to that blue passport. Only problems and headaches.
We moved to the Czech Republic 21 months ago and we've never felt better❣️
Europe is much more compact than America, I think you can fit all of Europe (excluding Russia and maybe some of its eastern satellites) in the area known as New England. This is much more conducive to walking and public transport like trains.
Ciao. Same experience here i lived 4 years in Italy. I admit that the stress is less here than in Canada. No performance pressure. It is more la dolce vita e dolce far niente. And healthier food for sure. You have to move more to get to the comparable thing or situation. Ex no elevator, no automatic doors, no close parking…
Don't they have your DNA now?
Your weight loss probably has something to do with obesity not being as socially acceptable in Europe as it is in the US. That may have provided a subconscious cue to be more active and eat better
soabout his sponsor My Heritage — if you upload all your family history for anyone to look at or connect to, isn't that facilitating identity theft ?
Yanky wheat is GMO… nuff said.
After the fall of communism, back in the USA, when one files taxes and tax returns, soon they find out that they owe IRS a thousand dollars or whatever, sometimes, instead of getting a $ 800 refund, or whatever. Russians believe they are originally from Kyiv. Who controls the world after the fall of communism. I came to this conclusion while driving through a food bank in SE Oklahoma City, months ago. The US and the world is indirectly controlled by the virtual umbrella of vested interest groups known as the Deep State in Washington DC as well as controlled by four nations after the fall of communism. Who controls the Deep State? The Deep State controls the President of the US and policy makers of the NATO group. The Deep State is controlled by the four nations of Lithuania and Latvia and Estonia and Poland. So, the leaders of Lithuania and Latvia and Estonia of north Europe., and Poland control NATO and control the President of the US. These four anti-Russian nations control NATO groups and are the sworn enemies of the post communist elected governments of the Russian Federation after the fall of communism. These four nations manipulate the Deep State group of Washington DC and the President of the US and the NATO group of nations. Few average members of the Deep State whether civilians or soldiers or retirees have travelled to north Europe and East Europe. The retirees say, "I love it here. Our forefathers had unnecessarily conquered the western hemisphere from native Americans for no reason. The US is now full of criminals. We Americans can conquer north Europe and East Europe. These four countries are welcoming us with open arms. I like the pretty landscapes and the scenery here."
Fello, tu dizque mundo libre se debe al genocido y extractivismo 🙄🙄🙄
is it only me, or are chest muscles much more developed in the photo "after"? I mean no disrespect, maybe in the video later he explained but he hasn't said that he started to exercise more so far.
I am moving to Portugal 🇵🇹
"It's such a fast-paced life in the US".
Calling it a life seems overly generous.
interesting that your body hair changed too (unless it was shaved?) because that indicates testosterone too
