What? That is absurd. People actually taking responsibility for their own actions -- why, HOW UN-LIBERAL OF YOU !!!!

Eat 5000 calories a day of ANYTHING and you'll get fat.

Wasnt there a movie not too long ago by the guy pissed off at the "Super Size Me" vid who did his own? I heard that he ate at McDonalds EVERY DAY..breakfast, lunch, dinner. However, he exercised every day as well, and he felt superb. Anyone know the name of this one?

The two Morgans in this story is really confusing me. She should have taken an assumed name.

Colon Blow, or Super Colon Blow (old SNL sketch, when it was funny and not nauseatingly liberal.)

I eat Subway once or twice a week. Foot-long Oven Roasted Chicken on Wheat with Double Meat, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, oregano and pepper spread. No cheese or mayo. Great bodybuilding food.

Trying to consume 5000 calories of extra fiber cereal would have you spending so much time in the bathroom that you couldn't get to 5000 calories of it. :=)

"Dawn Jackson Blatner, a registered dietitian and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association, agreed that a low-calorie, McDonald's-only diet can help people lose weight but said it may not offer enough long-term variety. Whatever an individual does to lose weight, they need to do for the rest of their life, she said. "
Reading between the lines: "Fat people are so dumb that they don't realize they can eat sensibly just about anywhere. They need a dietitian nanny to tell them what to think and do."

It's all about choices. You can choose something low fat to eat even at fast food restaurants...and who says you have to eat out 3 or more times a day, 365 days a year? You can choose to stay home, get a good cookbook and/or find someone to teach you how, and cook your own food without fat, salt, carbs, etc. etc. You can also choose to get off your duff and exercise.
I don't always make the right choices...probably why I'm fat. But the notion that one is fat because of fast food places means that person is not taking responsibility for him/herself. I own up to my failings, but in the end, it's not the government's job, the restaurants' job or the food industry's job in general to keep me thin. It's my responsibility and mine alone.
And now, I'm going to make the choice to shut off the computer, hit the company fitness center and then go home and make myself a healthy dinner. Good night! :)

"Morgan used nutritional information downloaded from McDonald's Web site to create meal plans of no more than 1,400 calories a day. She only ate french fries twice, usually choosing burgers and salads.
Those choices are a stark contrast with those made by Spurlock, who ate every menu item at least once."
If that isn't the non-sequitur of the year I don't know what is.

The funny thing is, once you get your metabolism cooking with 6 healthy meals a day, cheat days are actually helpful. They keep your body guessing so the theromostat doesn't re-adjust downward, so to speak.
Lately, I've been cutting up for my planned Christmas Vacation in HI. Been losing a couple lbs. a week--the right way. I love yakking about physical fitness stuff if there is a Freeper ping list for that topic.
