“It goes like this: My metabolism is special which makes it too hard to achieve weight loss and fitness. It’s unfair that others judge me for this, because it’s not my fault.”
I agree there are people who “wear” the cloak of this, so to speak. There are people born who a far more prone to obesity starting before puberty. That is who the article above references.
Appropos of nothing - I got to thinking today, Hummingbirds can practically live on a diet of sugar water. Ever seen a fat hummingbird? Me neither! They always look pretty fit and trim.
You know who has a good weight loss program? It’s better than Jenny Craig or Weightwatchers I betcha. And they pay you to boot! The US Army.
They do enforce the dietary restrictions. I’ll never forget the time about 5 Drill Sergeants appeared in the chow hall one day and zeroed in on a fat guy who had made a poor choice of a snuck a piece of pie in a cargo pocket or something like that. How they knew or found out or whatever, I dunno. Well he earned it, because they smoked his ass pretty good. Yes,, all this is “cruel” critica say. Some say. Spare me.
The guy was well fit and trim by the end of AIT, and very proud they had to issue a complete new set of uniforms.
Harder for some, achievable for all.
