If you have a more efficient body metabolism (fat people)

Oh, that's rich! So that's why you're fat? (You don't mind the word, "fat", do you?)

Puleeze! The fact that you consistently eat more food than you need is immaterial, isn't it? The fact that you (people) choose sedentary lives is immaterial, is it? Not.

Did you read the subject in article. What was it, something like 19,000 calories a day?

I think his problem was too much food and not enough exercise. Duh!

Your explanation is mere rationalization; a euphemism for no self-discipline.

Well, here are my numbers, 1 June 2003 - 5'8", 233 lbs, maintaining, on Veterans Administration high carb diet, and 1200 calories per day. No weight loss, and constantly sick and hungry.

Start Adkins diet. No change in exercise.

15 September, 192 lbs. and losing, on Adkins diet, and 1800 calories per day, and drinking hi-protein low carb shakes, lots of meat, bacon, and chease, never hungry, feel much better, much more energy, joints stop hurting.

You figure it out - there is my personal anecdotal evidence, you and your sister and her doctors and the VA doctors can take youall's diets and calories=calories and stuff them.
