Health, fitness and proper nutrition in our community is non-existent.

Can anyone tell me why are Somali youth obsessed with food? 24/7 waxa la adaa makhayaad and then they scarf down plates of food. I’ve seen it with both men and women.

I’m normal weight and I get asked all the time if I lost weight. I’m looked at as skinny but I’m not. It’s bc most people around me are obese.

It’s a social status thing, they’re flexing how much disposable income they have. But ironically, it does nothing but ruin them physically and financially. It’s the most pathetic shit wallahi.

Retards think they impress people by eating at restaurants all the time. Can't stand foodies.

I go to a gym in a majority Somali/South Asian area and see a tonne of teens which is good. Doesn’t help that mothers baby their sons though. Having breakfast/Lunch/Dinner made for you past a certain age is crazy - especially when it’s all high carb.

It’s not right. I wonder if they were fed at home. There’s an unhealthy fixation on food in our community. Ppl expose their own selves.

“Foodie” is just another term for gluttonous clout chasing dickhead wallahi:pachah1:

I only started seeing a real change in my body after I started cooking my own meals wallahi. I don’t think people realise how heavy handed most hooyos can be with the olive oil and sugar lol

It kind of makes sense, your typical gaal can hit the pub and socialise over a few drinks. I think restaurants and shisha might be the Somali/Muslim equivalent. The halal “look I’m out socialising” so to speak.

I’m not going to lie, going to lift as a 140lb 16/17 yr old was kinda embarrassing, but I’m happy I started the routine and consistent exercise because I’ve made great friends and progress from the hobby of exercising and paying a lot of attention to what I put in my body. 2-3 years later I am about 175 pounds, I’ve lost some weight from illness, but look to cop some dumbbells from Walmart today or tomorrow.

What would be the best routine to retain my m mass but also feel some degree of challenge?
:cosbyhmm:

I don't know man, I've never went to a gym and I eat whatever I want and I don't gain the weight because I play Football. Personally I don't think lifting metal for a few hours is better than a sport you enjoy.

I know you're health conscious and handsome but there is no need to rub it in whilst browbeating those that are fearful of what they do not know so they scoff at it. :mjpls: You've been physically active for years so resist the urge to be hyper judgmental when you have a significant head start and are coming from a completely different point of reference.

I'd consider it more tough-love rather than browbeating. Sometimes people need a mirror held up to their face. I'm proud of being Somali, so it pains me when I see my fellow Somalis get denigrated and become the butt of some ajnabi's joke over something that's easily fixed.

It's like we've been collectively brainwashed as a people into believing that we have garbage muscle building genetics, so why even bother. It's such a self-defeating attitude wallahi.

I'm coming form a place of frustration, not "haha, you sack of shit, you're not in shape".

I feel that frustration brother. How can we change our people's negative view towards any kind of physical activity?

Shames. Because trying to motivate them by showing them a fellow Somali's impressive physique doesn't seem to be doing the trick.
Steroid talk is probably banned around here, but I would suggest anyone suffering from low test get on TRT, also this topic affects all young men regardless of their race, background in the West.

Your avg untrained Joe will probably get a slight increase in Test by just lifting consistently and lowering bodyfat. Besides, TRT is a lifetime commitment sxb, if you come off gear you'll be in a worse place than before you started.

Disclaimer: everything I'm about to say doesn't apply to a handful of members whom I'm certain are probably in good/decent shape.

Diet
The avg Somali has zero fucking clue about nutrition beyond "fatty food are bad for you". No real understanding of their body's caloric requirements, what macro split is best suited for their goals etc, unless it's something they're studying or they're a gymbro.

I can look past it all, but what makes my blood boil is when they denigrate those who take an active interest in their health/nutrition. I've had several family/friends give me funny looks for tracking calories,macros and weighting my food.

This isn't just limited to out of touch old eedos, it's young Somalis in their late teens and early 20s who grew up in the West. They'll happily guzzle down gallons of ridiculously sweet tea and eat toxic shit like xalwo, but somehow taking an active role in what you consume is seen as a "weird". I'm sure some of the vegans or more health conscious people on here can relate.

Exercise
Beyond occasionally playing football/basketball, the avg Somali doesn't concern himself with physical activity. They have shitty skinnyfat physiques, it's gotten so bad that young Somali men are now a fucking meme, "big batty Bashir" etc.

In all the years I've spent in boxing/Muay Thai/lifting gyms I've only ever seen a handful of Somalis and they all had one thing in common. The majority of them were mostly friends with non-Somalis. "You'll get hurt and get brain damage" was common phrase I heard all the time.
But the same people saying that would completely crumble and freeze up if they go punched in the face, or they'd attempt wild haymakers. Learning to defend yourself and your family is at the core of what it means to be a man.

When it comes to pursuing physical perfection, Somalis are crabs in a bucket wallahi. Instead of applauding fellow Somali for getting into great shape, you'll see f-gs on insta constantly accuse them of roiding and say shit like "tOO mUcH mUsCLe iS uGLy" like they're an Adonis themselves.

In conclusion, the avg young Somali male looks like a pile of steaming garbage and couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. Think I'm talking shit? Go stand infront of your mirror, take your t-shirt off and have a real good look at yourself.

Rant over, good evening:pacspit::pacspit:
How can I improve? Please teach me what to eat for breakfast lunch and dinner. I want to be your student, I want to be in top physical condition. How do you track calories teach me your ways
