More than half of adults in Portugal are obese or overweight, according to The Association of Obese and Ex-Obese Patients of Portugal (Adexo), which said this problem worsened during the pandemic due to lack of exercise and poorer diet.
Adexo is launching a campaign until the end of the year to highlight the importance of essential care.

You only need to go to the beach to see the appalling condition much of the population is in.
Since when did being a man over 40 mean you have to walk around with a barrel for a stomach?

Truth be told, not everyone´s round looks are down to being sloppy/overeating/eating richly. The cheapest foods are filled with not so good ingredients(1);(2) lots of ppl don´t lose weight when they apply the right food regimen which in itself should raise questions about underlying health factors preventing the results in the weight loss. And finally, some ppl do look bigger and rounder, yet when they test for physical pbs the results are actually good, health wise.

Honestly where are these people? I see a few obese people but this statistic is crazy unless these people don't go out of the house or hardly any of them are in Lisbon?
