In the days of yore when I was younger and fit, I used to lose about 4 kg when tramping for 2 weeks and living on de-hy food, just what I could carry with no extras or goodies..........

Alcohol is massively fattening, you might restrict your food but if you drink heaps, well......

So you're saying if you were stranded on a desert island (but had water) with no food, you'd stay fat because it's not how much you eat.
Right.

1382602 2014-08-28 22:00:00 You cant get fat without eating or drinking. Its really that simple.

But just what is too fat : dont compare a skinny person to someone will a roll of fat but other wise 100% healthy .
Its true that many will never be skinny without going into an unhealty lifestyle & diet.
So if you arnt super skinny, call we really say that makes us fat ?

Slightly "Fat" is not obese or unhealthy .
And that roll of fat often takes many many years to get there, no wonder so many dont blame their eating habits .

1382603 2014-08-28 23:08:00 All this simplistic twaddle is getting you all nowhere mighty fast.
Science disagrees with your argument and has done so for a long time.
If calorific intake were the only issue here there would be no obese in poor countries.
Yet the statistics show a huge increase in obesity in these places that is otherwise inexplicable.

The specious 'In versus out argument' takes no account of individual metabolism, or the childhood factors enumerated in the articles I linked.
Some peoples cells have been altered by this virus, it makes the process of absorbing sugars from the blood and storing them as fat the number
one priority, at the expense of even normal metabolic processes.
This means that in order to reduce these folk must maintain an 800 calorie or lower diet every day of their lives.
This would make it impossible to maintain essential nutrient levels from food alone in the natural way.
So suppliments would be needed to prevent them from suffering malnutrition, even while obese.

You can witter on and spout piffle as much as you like.

This is a subject on which I have devoted years of reading and thinking.

Finally, Bertrand Russell once said 'The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.'

I leave it to you and whatever intellect you may have to work out if I am referring to you.

1382606 2014-08-29 01:53:00 While not directly the same, here's an interesting video on obesity and it's impact upon society, and why it's time people stopped sugar-coating it (Metaphorically and literally) into being acceptable: www.youtube.com Chilling_Silence (9)

Nonsense.
They eat. They eat sugar drinks, chips, bread, stuff like that.
Lots of it.

However countries with actual famines, there sure aren't any fat people there.

How about you go read up properly and get your facts right before slagging everyone else.

1382609 2014-08-29 05:58:00 Its not just food or the wrong food that can make a person gain weight. Some medications will make you put on weight. A person may need a certain medication to control some sort of ailment, which cant be controlled any other way. If this is the case then its either take your meds or die or have some other sort of negative reaction which would be far worse than gaining a few pounds.

Some will always then say eat differently to counter react it -- That's not always possible as not enough food of the right type will also have a negative effect.

Who really cares what someone else looks like, if that person(s) are happy so what, NO ONE is perfect -- At the end of the day anyone who judges anyone else by their looks alone is very shallow.
