I Travelled To The Most Obese Country In Europe

okay so travel to turkey to bulk, travel to vietnam to cut i’m smart as fuck

As a Turkish man, I %80 agree with you. Yes there are tons of oil in our food but it is not the main reason. Average turkish person eats 200 gr of white bread. And nearly every food contains white flour. Our economy is really bad so %50 of people cant even properly eat proteins and healthy oils, carbs...

Bro I don’t think that a lot of waiters in ANY country could tell you the calories of the dishes they serve🤨 At least not in ‘cheaper’ to ‘moderately-priced’ restaurants.

Now let’s not totally scare people away from oil. Olive oil especially, is very nutritious and good for us. I use it in every meal and my physique is slim. I’ve recovered from an eating disorder years ago and this video totally would have fed into my phobia

Joe genuinely deserves a medal for the amount of stuff he can fit in just a 5 minute video.

Hard not to get obese being surrounded with this food

I don't think this was the point of the video but now I really want to go to Turkey and eat loads

Also bread consumption is a issue in Turkey. It is the highest in per person.

as a Middle Eastern guy, I can tell you that it's not just the food or the oil but the lifestyle, lack of exercise and high stress due to financial problems and other related stress and a lot of cigarettes on top of that is very common in those countries and of course it increases cholesterol and obesity

You also have to remember that Turkish culture is all about insisting. Insist you to dance, insist you to stay longer, and most importantly insist you to eat more to the point of obesity. My Turkish grandma used to say that I was never eating enough when I was literally the heaviest I’ve been in my whole life.

It strongly depends on the kind of oil, I think it has much more to do with culture. Countries like Turkey have a high connection to food. It’s just a big part of their lives.

oil, cigarettes, no exercise, tons of bread, lack of financial resources for healthier food, sometimes lack of awareness. Your videos are really nice! Try to find out some reasons behind why those foods are popular as well. Finances and tradition play big roles!

I don't normally watch vlogs but Joe's are straight to the point with no unecessary intros.

Man you sure can eat alot. I went to turkey and ate all very healthy meals. People have to make better decisions. The food sure was cheap and delicious. Great point on the oil. If people just would use less oil it could make or break their diet.

As a turkish man I can agree to you but there are more issues like inactivity , stress and you said eating sugar and a lot of meals containing oil, but really if you taste our foods you will understand it 😁😊

I like how he trains regardless where he goes for travelling. Dedication right there. I am glad you had good time in my home country.

You gotta appreciate the time this man puts into his video! Great job man!

joe has officially escaped the matrix and is going on holiday whenever he feels like it. totally deserved though, i remember him grinding videos out in 2020 and 2021

That fish place has given the most expensive stuff they had. It depends on the season, but there are actually grilled fish choices that can be healthier than those. This first sweet you ate is "macun" (pronounced "muh-joon", means "paste"). It's actually a really old, traditional sweet snack that fell out of popularity for quite some time but has made a comeback. Mainly sugar boiled to a paste with some flavorings. There are other pastes that are made with different herbs for their medicinal (in most cases aphrodisiac) qualities, but they are not really sold on the streets.

That is entirely inaccurate in the reasoning part. The main reason behind obesity is that Turkish people feed mainly on bread and low nutrient-dense carbs. They don't consume healthy oils, vegetables, and quality protein as needed. The eating habits are pretty diverse though, so carb-related obesity is less of a concern in certain parts of the country (one being the west coast). The rich Turkish cuisine is historically carb-dense, but the economical turndown of recent years has particularly led to this obesity-prone diet. Not to mention the increasingly sedentary lifestyle...
