Well it's not your fault. Just because you ate a dozen donuts for breakfast.
Now we can blame Ad-36.
We could use this to invect those with anorexia maybe?
I’d like my vaccine supersized please.
But-but-the SCIENTISTS SAY SO! /sssss
...need more ATVs! That’s the answer!
I caught a viral infection a number of years ago, and it shut down my thyroid. I currently take a high dosage to combat a non-working thyroid (3x the normal dosage)
And, if I wasn't taking it, I could subside on a 1000 cal diet, and not lose weight. So, with a major eating habit change, and vigorous exercise, I manage.
So, it might be possible, but I won't count out lifestyle either. I won't be a liberal. I take respoinsibility for my behavior, and my lifestyle.
Virus also makes them line up in front of McDonalds for the Super Big Macs Fries and jumbo colas
Huh?
All this time I thought it was a “glandular problem!”
lol!
Folks, I have an announcement.
People are fat cause they like to EAT and don’t like to MOVE!
I must have caught this virus right after I quit smoking. Go figure.
This giant virus moved into my house and started baking cookies and cakes, using nothing but trans-fats, well mostly trans-fats, and that’s why I’m so fat now.
It just tastes so good! Especially the Poor Man’s cake.
I read a few of the posts in this thread and only skimmed most of the others.
I don’t mean to be offensive or unsympathetic to those who are fat or obese.
I’m not an expert but I do know about exercising/being active and eating healthy. I was never skinny but never had a weight problem until after my 2nd kid. It took me over a year to lose the weight I put on during that pregnancy. I did, then had two more kids, lol. It was hard after the 4th but I wasn’t eating healthy and wasn’t exercising.
Calorie intake is important but also just as important, if not more, is the type of calories one is consuming. One also has to be active, exercising regularly as well as being active when not “exercising”
If an adult is eating only 1,000/day and not losing weight then I question just what it is he/she is eating. Also, the body may not be getting what it needs and is going into starvation mode/storing fat.
Dieting is good but it’s not about dieting, it’s about changing one’s lifestyle and that includes eating and activity.
I’ve had overweight people assume that I can eat whatever I want when that’s not the truth. I’ve had really fat people make comments about how easy it must be for me to stay in shape. And most of what I hear from them is excuses why they’re fat.
A healthy diet with regular exercise and lots of physical activity and mostly determination is the way to a healthy body.
The lightest I weighed in my adult life was 180 pounds at 5’ 10” - when I returned from Viet Nam. Even at 180 my ribs were visible. The rest of my Army career I weighed around the 200 - 220 pound range. Every year when the weigh in came around I would be over the standard and have to have a body fat measurement taken. I was never over 20%. I maintained that weight for several years after retiring until I took a job driving a taxi. Setting on my butt for 12 -14 hours a day and eating at the fat food drive through did me in. I weighed 285 when I quit. I had a sizable apron.
When my wife died I lost interest in a lot of things and my weight dropped to 235. I wanted to lose more, and lived on 1000 calories a day for close to a year - I didn’t lose an ounce. I increased my food intake and started working out with weights about 2 years ago. I now weigh about 220 with 20% body fat. I doubt I will ever get below 200 pounds. I did get rid of that apron - now my waist is 4” smaller than my chest and hips. I am still “obese” by the standard set by the idiotic Body Mass Index, but not by body fat percentage.
maybe we can infect all the starving africans and north koreans with this virus, famine cured on the cheap
It’s more likely an effect rather than a cause. A fat persons body is highly acidic, full of candida and yeast, and low in oxygen, this is the perfect environment for such stuff to exist.
