I guess I need to go off an die, then. I am obese. I calorie count and am exercising. I am trying to lose weight. My doctor actually has said some people hold onto weight and their bodies fight losing it. But, to all those out there, I guess, I am just a fat,lazy, slob who should not receive medical treatment. Now, I find out, I am also a bad influence, dang.
You are, because rather than doing push ups and bodyweight squats you are giving me a sob story. Let's hope that others who are more impressionable don't copy this behavior.
If I had to have surgery I wouldn’t want to weigh what I do now. The risks are lower the better fit the patient is.
I am only 190 lbs at 6’
We are finding that some obesity is determined by which population(s) of gut bacteria people have. Our gut bacteria control us. The wrong kind create powerful cravings for the foods they want, as well as very sick feelings when they die off (migraines, upset stomach, malaise). They have already done fecal transplants to show that switching the gut bugs changes a person’s obesity status. One day there will be a better way.
Definitely add (slowly) more good fermented veggies etc to your diet, and expose yourself to good bacteria from good soil (like eating beans or tomatoes from a good garden, not scrubbing them, just brushing them off). Avoid sugary things. One day there will be probiotic “medicines, that will help. Until then, get some good probiotic foods in you.
Don’t bogart the buffet. It’s not fair!
