There are literally millions of studies on weight.

You'd think this was a obesity-support group rather than a fitness site.

Yes it is.

The point is obvious to anyone without a chip on their shoulder.

Sure if you exclude the unhealthy condition of obesity, then the obese person can be considered to be in perfect health.

I did not say we are programmed to be disgusted by it ALl unhealthy things. You yourself saw that we are disgusted by rotten fruit to protect us from something that is unhealthy. It's funny how hard you are working not to admit that people have some basis for being disgusted by morbid obesity.

First of all, the fact that other things are also unhealthy does not change the fact that obesity is unhealthy. Second of all, obesity is not an aspect of your diet or lifestyle, it is an objectively measurable condition. I find all this deflection misdirection and equivocation odd. All in a desperate attempt to keep from…

Obesity by definition is unhealthy.

I don't "deem" obesity unhealthy any more than I "deem" cancer unhealthy. Each are empirically unhealthy. You can go ahead and pretend obesity isn't unhealthy, but that leaves me to wonder what you are doing on a website dedicated to physical fitness, since you see no difference between the obese and the physically fit in…

I'll save you the burden of a simple google search. http://pdescioli.com/papers/tybur.etal.disgust.PsychRev13.pdf

Clearly you are that type.

In scientific circles, there is widespread agreement that disgust evolved to motivate the avoidance of contact with disease-causing organisms. But hey, there are some weird fetishes out there, so whatever floats your boat.

No, they weren't my studies. The millions of studies which conclude that obesity and malnourishment are unhealthy were done by millions of different researchers over several decades and across many countries and cultures performed by various universities, foundations and governments. If you have any studies to which you…

I base that on the literally millions of studies done on the subject which have reached that conclusion.

How do I know an obese person or a malnurished person is unhealthy? Is that a real question?

Being severely overweight or underweight for that matter is unhealthy. We are naturally repulsed by things that are unhealthy. I don't spend a lot of time worrying about it, but all other things being equal, I do have a lower opinion of people who are obviously unhealthy than of people who appeared to be good physical…

Try 1-1.2g protein for every 1 lb lean body mass per day. Dial back the other macros to fit. That might help.

It depends on your primary goal. If your primary goal is to get lean, then only increase your calories if your strength plateaus over a period of a few weeks. On the other hand if your primary goal is to get stronger then I suppose you wouldn't be in deficit in the first place. Either way only make adjustments to your…

Try FB for a month and see how you like it. Speculation will get us nowhere.

I can totally relate, but it seems you already know what's going to happen if you start drinking alcohol again. You've been down that road already.

I'm in. It's funny because that basically was my goal already when i got the MFP app on 4/15 :) Sw 189 Gw 169

I take 10g of bcaa right before the gym in the morning then another 10g every two hours until my first meal of the day at 1pm. No bonking. Learned that from Andy Morgan at ripped body .jp

Because the thought of eating 6-8 small meals a per day for the rest of your life is absurd. :) IF on the other hand is simple and sustainable.

YOU are absolutely gorgeous. That jacket... not so much.
