I am educated. The "tool" is that you have modified your body so that you cannot ingest more than a fistful of food at any given time. You haven't learned why you became overweight, why you overate, and why you couldn't lose weight through eating properly and exercising more. WLS *DOES* in fact MAKE a person thin and it…

Again, I will say that it's the nutritional equivalent of taking prescription drugs for off label weight loss and/or trying a way to lose weight that removes choice from the equation. If you saw someone who was anorexic or bullemic, you'd say something to them, most people on this site won't tolerate ED talk.. and the…

I can't speak for others, but to answer why people see it as cheating... In my mind, it's *NO* different than lying to get a script for Adderall (which eliminates appetite) or undergoing liposuction, or any other way that FORCES you to lose weight. I think I have a fundamental problem with people implementing a solution…

Not only that, but if you're one of the 50% that regain their weight.. what's the solution then?? They regained the weight slowly, overeating a handful at a time, and now there's nowhere to cut to...

because the failure rate is over 50%. 5 years after Weight Loss Surgery, more than 50% have gained a significant portion of the weight back. WLS forces people to eat less after the procedure, without fixing the underlying cause of the obesity - which could range from having emotional issues or an inability to deal with…

Honestly, to answer your original question: You won't understand until you get on the *other* side of the looking glass. It really is alice in wonderland. When you make it to a healthy bf% and have torn off all that bodyfat, when you have learned all that you need to know in order to tear off that weight, and have tried…

I'm just saying, they went to the trouble to keep the tattoo or markings consistent right below the bra, they could have shopped some panties on him and added long brown hair....

Can't... Look.... Away... Homer Simpson: WOOHOO! Look at that blubber fly!!!

MOAR shake weight GIFs!!

=) seriously? I mean your question sounds serious, I just.. I can't stop laughing because your question reminds me of the South Park episode... No the shake weight is a gimicky turd, much the same way that the ab shocker was. To reduce the flab on your arms you have to reduce your bodyfat, and increase the SIZE of your arm…

le sigh. There aren't enough hours in the day as it is, you want me to care about a company's marketing strategy??? Are you F****** kidding me?? Seriously, are you trolling? ETA: AND ^^ that.

I'm like you, Hungry a lot, and I WANT that full feeling. I can't stand eating small meals several times a day, it just whets my appetite. If you want to get that full feeling, you have to shorten your eating window. Structure your day to get what you want. Like for me, I refrain from eating for most of the day, have a…

Yea. The problem is they still won't hear you. The sick are very content to deny the fact that they are sick. Whether it's someone who has psycological issues or weight issues.. It's easier for the brain to protect the ego by deflecting, projecting, and changing their perception of reality than it is to face facts and…

Not to be a b*st*rd, I feel your pain, but think of the people at the Boston Marathon, when the cowardly f*ckers used a bomb filled with nails, BB's, and shards of shrapnel to maximize the damage. 3 people died. DOZENS lost limbs. No matter how bad things get, they could always get worse. You can run a marathon in the…

Simple math equation. Exercise + calorie cut = weight loss. Add to either of the above, and you will see more weight drop off faster. But there are risks and downsides to each of them.
-
It makes me wonder.. Overweight people bemoan the way that some thin people treat them, from having to accommodate their mobility scooters in every store and doorway in every public building, to making them pay more for airline tickets. Conversely, thin people are constantly tempted, as if overweight people have an…

I'd have to agree

The question you pose is diametrically opposed goals. Losing fat required high levels of caloric expenditure, forcing your body to dip into fat stores. Fat loss can also be achieved through caloric restriction, or a combination of both. Gaining muscle is achieved through lifting weights, as heavy as you can, in a low rep…

Which are now free, thanks to the health care overhaul. I'm betting state funded abortions aren't far behind. Not that I have a huge problem with abortion, I can see their argument, but it's inescapably cruel to use that as an all too often used "Plan C".

I'd have to agree. Reading the pages and pages of discussion, you'd think this topic would be the most divisive and inflammatory topic on the boards, but everyone is civil and generally voicing the same thought. In talking about growing your own or using your SNAP benefits to purchase healthier foods, and budget the money…

I don't want to read through all 6 pages, but The answer lies in cheap food. You look at a $3 value meal from McDonalds, and One measly double cheeseburger with small fries and a coke is almost a thousand calories.. Compare that to nutritious foods, high volume, low calorie foods like steamed vegetables and baked chicken..…

Bless your heart, You were spot on with the facts until that paragraph. Here, let me fix it for you. Alcohol also decreases testosterone levels slightly for up to 24 hours, with a greater decrease in testosterone based on the amount of alcohol you consume making it harder for your body to repair or build lean muscle if you…

Not to troll or flame bait, but I completely understand where you're coming from. All this sweat and hard frickin work, I would like to see SOME kind of positive reinforcement from the scale and the tape measure. I'm impatient. Tons of people don't agree with me, but I employ a significant calorie cut, the dreaded,…

True story.

Sodium, yes In your body, salt has to be in balance with water, salt is required for neurotransmitters and nerves to signal properly, in addition to a bunch of other stuff. Eat a lot of salt one day, and you will see weight gain the next, your body will retain water to keep the proper ratio of salt to water. However, it's…

You're probably not counting right. If your cut is designed to be 1200, and you are hitting that count each day, then something is off. I don't understand people saying that you need to eat more (while I agree with them, you should, based on your calculated numbers) there is no way to gain weight while eating at a deficit.…
-
If you are hitting the calorie counts each day with any degree of accuracy, doing insanity, It means that either your counts are not correct, or your BMR/TDEE calculations are overestimating what your BMR truly is. skip the guess work, and find a gym or health center that has a bod pod, that will tell you your REAL,…

IF you're serious, 1200 calories of healthy food like baked chicken and steamed vegetables would be about 40 ounces of meat. Considering the average steak is 8 oz... That's about 8 meals worth of meat.. 1200 calories is a big mac meal with fries and a coke.. You tell me. Choose wisely: eat once a day or 6 times a day, the…

SHH! the "eat more" gang will hear you, and turn this thread inside out!!
