Screw it. Despite all the conflicting "facts" we get about health and heredity, looks like I'm gonna die fat. That may sound pessimistic, but "studies" show that my bleak attitude is genetic, too. To quote Peggy Lee: "If that's all there is, then let's keep dancing. Let's break out the booze and have a ball."
She said keep dancing, not stuffing your face.
James82, why don't you try stuffing it?
Daisy, I'm with you. Screw all the hand-wringing over "second hand fat", "lasting effects of fat," "what your grandmother ate while she was pregnant with your mom made you fat," etc. etc. I swear it's worrying and stress that causes the most harm. Just live your life, get out there and dance, and don't sweat the small stuff. And it's all small stuff. All we have to fear is fear itself. I quit waiting to get "thin" to do what I want to do; I walk marathons, I kayak, I swim, I ride my bike, I travel, and I eat what I want. I am fat, but I am healthy, and I'm happy. I will probably die fat. But I'm going to LIVE fat, as much as I can before then.
Have you guys heard of the diet biggest looser?i don't sell it but if you research it you can get it. I know a guy who felt like you do and today he is very thin after trying the biggest looser.
Good luck !!
Limiting activity to 5,000 steps a day? That must have been incredibly frustrating. How interesting it must have been to participate in that study and limit steps plus actually try to overeat. I'm actually surprised people did not take off the weight again, I would think having those conditions imposed on you would make you a convert to wanting to move about and quit eating.
Oh well. What we consider a normal diet is way too much. Look at how you feed a dog - once a day, if it gets fat you cut back. Says so right on the bag. Pretty simple. Helps your teeth tremendously also to not bathe them in food 3-5-8 times a day. You heard it here first.
once i discovered leangains.com, i quit worrying about petty little diet concerns......fast 16 hours a day (9pm to 1pm) and eat three regular meals, my body became lean and muscular (also lift weights and do some cardio) and my mind became much more focused, it changed my life.....for free....
word.
leangains.com + bodyrecomposition.com + alan aragon's research review = goldmine
how does one report spammers these days?...This is a classic.
Spammers are out in force. newsvine would you get rid of these?
My understanding is that increased calories over what a person can store or use causes additional fat cells to be created, and once they come into existence they don't go away. Could this explain why it's so much harder to lose weight than to keep it off from the beginning?
"POINT TAKEN" I believe I will have the cardboard with a lite vinegarette!
Until they do away with the Factory Farms and GMO foods the government can stuff their advice. Don't use these studies to make Americans feel bad when you are destorying our food supply.
Watch these documentaries and THEN try to tell me with a straight face that our food supply is safe:
The World According to Monsanto
Life Out of Control
David VS Monsanto
Food, Inc.
King Corn
So right. The "war on obesity" would be funny if it weren't so tragic. Let's tax corn syrup (while subsidizing its production).
There's no substitute for personal responsibility, but when obesity rates are around 30%, you have to wonder what is "tipping the scales", so to speak.
Unhealthy, fattening food is the cheapest and the most readily available because of government policy.
Also, watch the documentaries, but remember that the filmmakers had agendas too.
The body is designed to cope with feast and famine. A little more here and a little less there isn't gunna have a big influence More scare mongering right here. If you eat sensibly and get some regular exercise then all this is irrelevant.
Folks have enough to worry about without getting all anal about things like the occasional good feed.
If you're a bit heavy, learn to put down the fork and go for a walk...simple.
As usual for FatWorld people. Eat as much bad food as possible. Never exercise. Become the size of a barn. Wonder why feet are rotting off diabetic bodies.
OK.. this sounds like a lot of psychology studies in that they show correlation but not causation. I'm not age 27. At age 25 my metabolism became human (before 24 I was half cheetah, I think). The average age of the study was 26, and they started looking at people who gained weight after 2.5 years.
I'm quite healthy, I'm into fitness, I run 10K and am training for a half-marathon. I play volleyball and basketball and cycle to work. Trust me, I'll be the first person to argue that obesity is a problem. But this particular study has a few big problems with it.
I'm working on an invention that will forever get rid of obesity. Have a few more trials to go before I finish..hang in there you all fat people I'm coming to your rescue and It will be free to the public and FDA approved. Gotta get back to my lab now.
