Fitbits that have SPO2 tracking and EKG capabilities combined with you posting your real weight or having a Aria scale post it to the app. It then will do the calculation and display your VO2Max in the heart rate section of the app.

Like me, you're in the EU. American food portions are ridiculous to Europeans, American small portions are still twice that of regular European food portions. Add to the dependence on motorised vehicles for transport and travel, and exercise comes at a premium too. Staying fit and healthy without going to the gym like in the EU is pretty much impossible for Americans.
Some Americans stay skinny in the US due to natural habits they were born with. I had to unlearn and learn a lot of new habits to be able to stay in shape here.

No it's not. It's a choice. People can choose to buy real, natural, unprocessed foods and cook them at their house like I do.

They choose to buy processed garbage or go out to eat at restaurants that serve processed garbage loaded with sodium and other things instead. They choose to drink sugary drinks and alcohol every day or many days a week. They choose to get coffee drinks every day from Starbucks that are 500 calories or more.

There is nothing hard about eating properly. It's actually really simple. It's not easy, but it's simple. People choose not to do it.

At the end of the day the only one responsible for what goes in your mouth on a daily basis is the person you wake up and see in the mirror every morning.

I seriously think the rugged individualism of America backfires on a lot of things and the weight issue is one of them. There is no real sense of community here in the states which means people do not care much about their appearance and think people should just accept them for who they are. In addition, Americans tend to genetics/inherit talent with victimization, so if you are fat it is because you have a low metabolism and cannot help it.

People also think doctors are there to fix all of their health problems so they don't have to take any responsibility for them themselves.

You should be cutting alcohol regardless of what type of shape you are trying to get in. It only imparts negative effects on the body, especially in the form of adding estrogenic compounds to most men who already have far too much estrogen bombarding their bodies daily to begin with.
No S totally agree, taste bad in most of the cases and makes you dumber and slower in the short terms plus what you listed an much more in the long one.

Being physically fit is a factor. It isn’t everything but it’s important for your health and with women lusting for you which is what you want.

A muscular physique is a plus. I always get more attention after I've bulked up. More importantly the physical stamina can help you perform much better in bed, which is probably the number one factor when it comes to retainment. If you bang a girl better then anyone she will stay with you despite many other flaws.
