But it *is* easy. You just need will. I promise you, cut all sugar and processed starches out of your diet and I guarantee you'll lose 10lbs in 3 weeks.

LOL quitting smoking is easy too... just cut out cigarettes! Giving up alcoholism? Piece-o-cake - just cut out booze & bars!

I think it's very easy to say 'well I lost this much by just doing this and this'. That's great for that specific person, but everyone is different - weight gained from pregnancy isn't going to be as easy to shift as weight gained from too many cupcakes, partly because there are more changes than just the weight gain going on with your body during that nine months.


I lose weight very easily. It's the same for all the women in my family. So technically I could come in here and say 'well hey, just skip a few meals guys and the pounds will melt away! It's not difficult!' because that absolutely works for me. That doesn't mean it's going to be any good for anyone else though, because other factors like metabolism and lifestyle and genetics will be having an effect as well, and it's a bit naive to assume any diet or exercise plan will affect everyone with the same degree of success.

You're equating serious addictions to something that is not nearly as hard to do. Simple portion control is a breeze to accomplish.






And look everyone, I realize I'm pissing some of you off with the way I'm coming across. I do. i don't mean to offend, but I just feel incredibly passionate about this subject because I know three people in my life that are in serious medicals conditions because they let themselves go willingly. They even admit to doing it willingly. So you need to see where *I* am coming from.

Sugar addiction is a very real thing - spend a little time reading up on it. And you yourself have stated how dangerous it is to your health to be overweight, so why is an addiction to food "not serious"?

so then lets tack on a kid with a disease that requires that they eat 6000 calories a day. yes SIX THOUSAND and you dont exactly have all the money in the world to have 2 separate shopping lists and when you do have the frame of mind to diet youre sitting in a house with weak will power and a pantry full of chips and cookies and pizza and burgers not to mention now with a newborn crying you dont exactly have the time or energy to cook 2 completely different dinners. one with no fat and the other with 30g of fat..

its nice that its easy for you. its not easy for everyone and not everyone has the ease of life to do whatever it they want at any time. i have a rather large 2 story house, a husband and 2 kids (with a chronic disease that requires hours of extra care on top of what a healthy child would receive) to care for. every day. if i happen to gain 5 lbs because i couldnt get in time to go jogging or i was too exhausted to do 50 crunches then i deal with it.

its not being lazy. its me putting my children first. its my choice to put them in priority.

Nah I know about sugar addiction and it isn't anywhere near as serious to alcohol and drug addictions.

Sugar IS a major problem because it is in a lot of our foods now, but it is not hard to ween yourself off of it slowly if you take simple steps to do it.


You guys sound like everyone is doomed and they can do very little about it, which is untrue.

I've already agreed that there are people that have *actual* diseases that make them fat. They are not the majority, though. You simply cannot ignore the statistics that America has gradually gotten fatter over the past 50-60 years. It is because of lifestyle.

Your arrogance is fucking disgusting. Can you just accept the fact that YOU do NOT know EVERYTHING about everyone and their health?

Right, because obesity or diabetes never killed anyone.

Yeah it has, my grandmother. I'm not talking about death rates, though. I'm talking about how serious they are in terms of getting over them.

There are different ways to get there...eat less...or burn more calories with the current caloric intake
Hats off to the ones that can increase exercise as a method of weight loss..I took the easier method{for me anyway} of reducing food intake...committed until I hit my target and was done.
I was not going to go on yo yo diets..I made a decision and went for it....yes the first few days sucked then it became very tolerable..I was seeing the progress in the mirror so stayed with it.....Ok I am starting to sound like a woman now I better stop there lol

And with that, this will be my last post in this thread.


Have a good day, everyone.

 

[acctnt shan]

I don't think everyone is doomed, as I stated earlier, I think there are ways to lose weight for everyone. I just think that the simple "portion control" or "no bad food" isn't quite as easy for a lot of people as you are treating it.

And I think sugar addiction or other food addictions are just as serious as other addictions. Perhaps more so, because I think it's a lot easier to avoid bars & booze than it is to avoid sugar. People who have a bad "relationship" with food cannot avoid their vice, because you HAVE to eat. You don't HAVE to go to bars, you don't HAVE to sit in a smoking section, etc. Sure, the effects on the body are "slower", but there are still very serious risks involved. It still affects people's moods and actions, it still damages relationships.

 

[Darrell]

Did said nutritionist(s) evaluate all of these people you're guaranteeing will lose weight if they follow your simple instructions?

Because the physiology of the human body plays a great part in weight loss and gain, and every person is different.

There is no way you can guarantee that weight loss to anyone. So, yes, your statement is still arrogant.

i WISH that CF made people fat. those 6k calories my kid needs keeps her at about 10lbs UNDERWEIGHT. if she wernt receiving that many daily she would waste away and die. literally. and its exactly why i flip the fuck out when people start trying to pass laws to ban fast food and fats and junk food.. just because your fat ass doesnt need it doesnt mean others dont.

just accept that everyone is different. if people wanna be fat then they will. if they dont they will find a way not to be. if you dont like it dont date fatties. i dont see the big issue.

You're equating serious addictions to something that is not nearly as hard to do. Simple portion control is a breeze to accomplish.

Actually it's not. Your body physically adjusts to the increase in portion size/calorie intake and it's extremely difficult to adjust. If you increase from 2000 to 3000 calories per day, while in the beginning you will gain weight, your body will adjust and start to require 3000 calories to maintain that heavier weight. So even if you decrease your calorie intake by 500 per day, while you'll lose weight initially you'll eventually hit a weightloss plateau since your body will adjust to maintain that weight.

You should NEVER severely cut food intake as you will lose a large portion of your lean muscle (which is what helps you burn fat).

All that being said, weight loss is extremely difficult and even I struggle with it. I certainly won't be with someone who won't accept and love me for who I am, just as I will them.

I lost 18 lbs in two months by not eating shit and walking for 40 minutes every other day while working and going to class

wouldn't be that difficult

You can't possibly believe this.

There is a REASON why obesity rates have increased dramatically over the past 50 years and that is because people willingly eat shit and choose not to be active

only a small minority of cases are actually due to medical reasons

I was overweight last year by 12 lbs and it was because I was eating shit and not exercising enough. It was my fault and nothing else.

Seriously guys. All it takes to lose weight is NOT EATING SHIT and putting in like 30-40 minute cardio workouts a day. Getting fat does not happen magically or by accident.

haha and thanks for the negative rep, potato. I see simply sharing some facts gets you so riled up. Not that it matters, because I've gotten several positive reps from members over this thread and what I am saying.

You're welcome. Plenty more where that came from. Although I do feel that this is now going round in circles so congrats on the positive rep, clearly they are as narrow minded as you but I'm out.

People, people! Let's calm down and accept the fact that AEF knows absolutely EVERYTHING there is to know about everyone. He's been through it all. Marriage, child birth, emotional trauma, depression, obesity, etc - anything and everything. He's been there, done that. All while fighting to bring back plaid shirts as appropriate dress choice for every occasion! Isn't this impressive from a guy who hasn't even hit his 3d X? I certainly think so!
