DUH!
something most of us who have studied this kind of thing have known for years.......glad science as usual is catching up......
If you want to lose weight, watch what fat people eat and then don't eat that.
You're telling me that refined carbohydrates like sugar and white bread are BAD for me??
And whole grains, fruits, and vegetables are GOOD??
Dude! You blow my mind!
>>All together now:
DUH!<<
My thoughts exactly. This reminds my of my experience with local tv. I haven't had tv since 1997 and I have noticed, when exposed to the local tv news on occasion lately, that they speak as though to children.
I find it odd.
For example, potatoes have one of the highest GI numbers of all foods.
I used to work with a lot of Chinese people. They had the same kind of life the rest of us did, sendentary, sitting at a desk most of the week. Not a single one was fat. I think it was their diet, lots of veggies, rice, and not a lot of fried stuff.
"Exercize" is a word not in the article.
Not one single person that I know who is overweight, does regular exercize.
Not one single person that I know who exercizes regularly, is significantly overweight.
I haven't any idea, whatsoever, about their diets.
Yet another study from the "No Sh*t" department...
Maybe you need to get out more.
DUH!
This was the basis of the book "Sugarbusters" wasn't it?
The book is what, 10 years old?
But Fat people eat everything!
It confirms what I've been saying, gathered from much research and bad dieting, for a very long time now. If only we could get the high fructose corn syrup out of just about everything we eat... It's like the corn lobbies and the diet industries are in collusion. The government tells Americans we're too fat, and they will tell us how to eat, and then they advocate the addition of these high glycemic additions to way too many processed foods that we eat...
But cultures that eat high quantities of pasta and rice don't have higher-than-average obesity rates. Why is that?
"But Fat people eat everything!"
That's not necessarily true. Some "fat people" ruined their metabolisms by becoming professional dieters.
I like the very apt reference to "Al-Reuters". I have read that they are controlled by the Saudis. If they are not, they certainly act as if they were.
