    Thanks for the link...Endocrine disrupting chemicals such as the ones mentioned "may" contribute to changes in our homeostatic hormone levels, thereby potentially causing weight gain...but for most it was probably calories in.

    Overeating, convenience food, and an over-reliance on meat imo

    Please explain how meat makes you fat. Thanks

    I lost fat by eating more meat and less grain (same caloric intake). So I'd love to hear an explanation for this too.

    That's pretty rude. If you post a controversial theory, there's going to be a debate about it. Hell, there are debates on here about things that aren't even remotely controversial. It's really no big deal. Welcome to the internet.

    Lol just because you started the thread doesn't mean you can dictate how people respond to it. This is a discussion forum. We are free to discuss.

    Well as far as my being fat goes, I'm sticking with my impossible to disprove theory that when I sleep aliens stop time, abduct me, take me away to their space-ship and using a hypnotic control mechanism triggered by their rectal probe (ALL aliens use them, stop looking at me like that!) force me to eat McDoubles, fries and Shamrock Shakes. Then they return me to my bed smelling of McDonald's and proceed to re-start Earth time. Since I have been losing weight, I can only assume that they are being blocked from their nightly visits by either solar flares or Snooki.

    Processed, fake-sugar foods not only are calorie-dense and nutrient-poor, but they contribute to diseases that cause people to have even worse weight issues.

    Somehow medication is always the answer, eating real food never is....

    Amen.

    There's only one thing making us fat. Putting something in your mouth and swallowing. No one is sticking tubes in you while your asleep, pumping high calorie nutrients into you. It's not the high fructose corn syrups, not the lard, butter, oil, meat, chips, etc.

    There may be some who say that our children get fat because they eat this and that at school or they have no one restricting what they eat, but it's all nonsense.
    People are proposing taxes on sugar and fats, or out right banning certain fats entirely. What nonsense. We have to take responsibility for ourselves.
    So if you want to know who's really making you fat, look into the mirror and your answer will be starring right back at you.

    Whats making you fat is lack of self control.

    ^^
    And greed. There's no cure for that unfortunately.

    A friend said to me once, 'it's better to get pissed off, than pissed on.'
