i like the buyer in the pic..which restaurant?
i confirm the topic…we are still fats
*burger :p
double cheeseburger at Little Ruby’s
this is why we are fat!
even i noticed the burger first and went- i should try that today!
booyah! up from number 4!! shake shack burgers for everyone š
I Saw that coming
Hey kudos at least we did not have to forget to pay a yearly renewal membership fees to be recognized for something.
They should’ve used bmi at least. Just counting weight is a very unreliable measure. Fat % would’ve been best.
And that ladies and gentlemen is why ‘yal ba6a ” is my favourite comeback
Atleast we’re ranked #2 worldwide and that’s something good lol.
Or shold I say something to be proud of.
LOL yes. Something to show my Kuwaiti buddies that always use Fat Americans as their go to insult! Suck it my fellow fat f*ck friends!
ohh yeaaaah we are in the lead š WOOHOOOO :p
u know whats funny? i dont think u can really blame the people here for that ranking. I mean, its not our fault that we have soooooo many good restaurants here in kuwait. And the food that most of the restaurants make here are really tasty and amazing. Just take MickeyD’s, KFC and these other fast food joints for example. Like have you tried KFC & MickeyD’s in america..?! yuckkk…!!! they are absolutely pathetic there. But here..? man, are they amazin or what! soo much more jucier and tastier. And the same goes for alot of other restaurants. Ohh well, just my take on this. Atleast we are second in something. š
I wonder if there is a ranking for top 10 nations with the highest percentage for gastric bypass and sleeve surgeries. would be interesting to see if Kuwait ranks high on that as well.
How the heck did Egypt get into this list?
because of the fool and ta’amiya
@ caje.. Humous,Foul Medames and oven roasted chicken on a spit for breakfast , lunch and dimnner..Its cheap, Its greassy and its finger drippin licking good thats how..
Hummus is very healthy!!
The reason I asked is because, regardless of the food, isn’t a large percentage of Egypt still rural? – where people actually work hard all day? – compared to the other countries in the list?
hummus is also carbs
For a healthy diet, you need around 30-40% of carbs so there’s no sin in consuming carbs.
And Hummus is actually a nice combination of carbs, fats, and protein. Its rating is B+ at caloriecount.
healthy doesn’t mean skinny.
Tahina is mostly fat and Hummus has a lot of that
I guess you guys have never seen Egyptians eat š I have never met a Egyptian with a normal appetite!
sorry for the typos š
I hate you… Now you made crave a burger!!!
I think it’s ridiculous that burgers get such an unhealthy label (even though it’s just a picture). The reason people are overweight here is because they snack all the time. If you see a typical grocery shopping list, you’ll see frozen french fries, loads and loads of chocolate bars, chips, pufak etc. And even worse, the healthy options are heavily overpriced even though pretty much no one buys them. You get 4 boca burgers for the price of 24 khazan/americana beef burgers. There is so much focus on selling fried, fattening foods for cheap and very little on healthy. The healthy places are dead expensive as well.
true that! moreover the really good gyms are few,far, and expensive! The so called “local” ones are rather mediocre..Back home, i could get a membership in Gold’s Gym for 200KD/year!..there are no open grounds for people esp women to walk safely. You can blame the weather to some extent, but thats where the gyms come in…It’s so strange that in a place like this, with access to so much of food, there is little being done to promote a healthy lifestyle..
Where do you live? There’s the mishref walkway and salmiya walkway that are completely safe, you make it sound like you’re living in Jleeb lol.
Also yeah the men’s gyms are as low as 60kd/year for some reason the women’s/mixed gyms are a lot more.
The Jleeb TEC park walkway is pretty safe too. I jog there from time to time. Hassawy is another story though š
hahaha š I live in Jahra at the moment š Hopefully not for long š *sigh* i dont have a car yet..makes life a bit more difficult!
btw: where is this salmiya walkaway? I don’t think I’ve been there…
Actually this is a problem world-wide, McDonalds gives you 2000 calories for the price of a meal, if you want 2000 healthy calories you pay 10 times that. Partially why obesity is a rising problem world-wide, even in poorer nations.
Well, if you look at what parents feed their kids starting at an early age, not really surprising. I’m often shocked by what I see in other homes…
Inshallah next year q8 will win number 1!!!11!! GO HEYDOO!!! OUR KAMIL, FATASS KAMIL!
man, i really want to know from where you took the picture!
My kids being from # 1 & # 2 on this list are destined for great things š
mozdawaj , 3a6oooni il jweehil xD
huh?
Kuwaiti’s don’t have much to do.
less work – duty hours are nothing.
easy sponsorship income.
holidays are more than working days.
sheesha, cigarette and Arabic + oily & grilled food.
ALL OF THE ABOVE HAS HELPED KUWAIT REACHED # 2 SPOT. IF THE CONDITIONS IMPROVE WE WILL LEAD THE WORLD.
I was born and raised in Kuwait, and now live in the US, and have always been underweight. Definitely beat the odds there. I wish my odds were these good with the lottery.
5 out of the top ten are Middle East Countries… that’s not a good sign…
I don’t think the food is the primary problem, but the no exercise is.
Wouldn’t you agree now your blog is at least; part contributory to the rising waist lines in Kuwait, given the column inches you dedicate to burgers and all things greasy and deep fried?! š
It’s childhood obesity that’s deeply worrying as it translates into a nation’s burden of pre-diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity linked cancers.
I am installing burger filters on all of Mark’s posts for my 9 year old couch potato.
@aaa:
On walkways in Kuwait most expat women will tell you privately they feel a whole lot safer walking down the Jleeb walkway than in most Kuwaiti areas; Jabriya and Surra included.And like it or not that is a fact, you have to live with.
