| 1232833 | 2011-09-23 03:21:00 | i don't understand why they have all these show on TV about fat people. the shock value of such shows has disappeared to the point that they are now almost entertainment. | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1232834 | 2011-09-23 04:21:00 | Yeah I can understand what Metla says about the whole husband vs wife scenario. My metabolism is so insanely fast I *have* to eat a bit of junk during the day just to keep the calories up and keep the weight on. Otherwise, I drop below 55 and get sick, real quick. So I have things like chip packets, certain choc bars, and other things that I'd really rather not eat all the time because they then loose their appeal as a 'treat'. I have 2-3 lunches most days, consisting of anything from a full-blown Thai red curry and rice, then a pack of Korean Noodles (500 calories), then perhaps some more rice (200 calories worth). I'm still skinny as anything. That said, metabolisms are manageable. It's not rocket science. It's not difficult. It just takes a bit of responsibility for your own actions and physical appearance. |

| 1232836 | 2011-09-23 05:01:00 | Bollocks, that is only what they let you see. Nobody can get fat (or stay fat) eating a normal person's food intake or smaller portions. The two key factors are food intake and EXERCISE. All of that is good and dandy in a perfect world. But news flash, its not perfect. Exercise -- what about people that cant do the "required amount of exercise" in your suggestion ?? People with injuries that stop them, other medial problems like asthma. My wife for example she gets asthma attacks if she does anything to physical, or even going out for a walk on a too cool a night/day can bring it on as well. Before the reply the medication is wrong - shes on the best the doctors can give. She watches and is careful about what she does and is fine. She eats no junk food, only the very occasional bottle of beer (1-2 a month at the most), so shes doing every thing she is capable of doing. Not every one can get the exercise mentioned. |

Have a pint of Guinness supposed to be 1000 calories a pint, when I say a pint though I mean a real Imperial pint not the metric 500ml which isn't even close |

Their Social Welfare should cut them off any benefit until they get down to a normal weight and can then look for a job. Any any public hospital surgeon who does stomach surgery on them should also be shot. I'd put them all in a field at one end. And at the other end I'd put a few pieces of lettuce and some water. If they want to eat, they will get there. |

| 1232839 | 2011-09-24 04:36:00 | Exercise -- what about people that cant do the "required amount of exercise" in your suggestion?? You must be either an obesity denier, or a bit tired at the moment. The same equation applies: Energy in must not exceed energy out. For all of the reasons you mentioned, this simple equation is 100% applicable. If you cannot exercise, for whatever reason, your energy needs decrease, so eat less. Surplus intake = fat. I have spent a lot of time in retirement homes and villages, sometimes in relation to my work, but also visiting elderly relatives and friends. Their food is good, and there is plenty of it, but there's not an obese body in sight. Malnutrition may change body shape (cause a pot-belly), but that is not obesity. The 'incurably' obese and their excusers are in total denial, but fortunately a small number wake up and get their weight down by changing and monitoring their diet, and doing such exercise as they can manage. Long term bedridden patients in hospitals do not get fat, and why? Because hospitals employ dieticians to monitor weight gain/loss and energy intake, then adjust the patient's intake accordingly. I am office-bound much of the time and often don't get enough exercise, but my weight remains stable. If I am not getting out and exercising I just eat less. I rarely eat desserts, don't snack on anything more that a couple of gingernuts or a banana at afternoon tea time and my weight stays stable. If I get busy outside of the office my weight begins to drop, so I eat more. You cannot become obese without breaking the simple equation that over time, energy in must equal energy out, exercise or no exercise, and if currently overweight, to lose that excess, energy in must be less than energy out. And for the daftest excuse of all: "slow metabolism" the solution is simple: Eat less, and slowly. If you can present a cogent argument with evidence to demonstrate that this is incorrect, I will be pleased to recognise it, and I will also start writing to Santa Claus again. It is not will power that the obese lack, it is won't power. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
