But I agree, the fast-food cramming fatties are repulsive.

200 lbs is not a big guy if you are 5 ft 11 or taller as most men are.

I'd venture to say that 230+ is starting to get big..

Pop American standards of obesity FTL

Thats your opinion. My neighbor is 6 ft 1 and weights 210 and looks healthy and is in great shape. No gut, not anorexic, just normal.

the blanket statement 5 ft 11 or taller as most men are amuses me somewhat :laugh:

EDITED for wiki data :)

If you cut out old people (50+?) who are going to be increasingly shorter, then I would bet the average American male is pretty close to 5'10+. That's not far enough away from 5'11 to matter very much.

eh? You can't just make sh1t like that up ;) 5'11 (which is adding 2inches to that data) would certainly be statistically significantly different to 5'10 in that kind of a survey ;)

Anyway, you still fail at life (well, statistics ;)), what does an average mean again?

Obviously when I said average, in context, it ment the average American male below the age of 49.

Oh, and what? Seriously, I didn't understand much of what you said. And why do you feel the need to point out that 5'11 is adding 2inches' to that data? I can read.

;)?!

Edit- after reading your reply a few more times- I wasn't trying to say it wouldn't have a big statistical difference. I'm saying that in terms of how your height/your weight relate to how fat you are(Which is what this thread/that quote stream are about ;)) a inch does not matter very much. Generally, a person that is an inch taller will weigh another ~8 pounds, with the same body type fitness level.

Alcohol contains calories. If you consume more calories than you burn, then the excess is stored as fat. Sure you can get down into the nitty gritty details of metabolism but at the end of the day it all comes down to calories in vs. calories out.

No, it doesn't. It depends on many factors, as evidenced here.

No, you're wrong.

When it all comes down to it...if you intake more calories than they burn then they gain weight...if they burn more than they consume then they lose weight.

It IS that simple....

How is it that caveats are referenced in this thread, links are provided, and people still insist on sticking to their dogma?

As already mentioned, your body reacts differently to alcohol than it does to carbohydrates. This isn't the only example either. In an extremely high protein diet your body will often excrete the excess protein rather than burn it or store it.

Maybe if you are preparing for a photo shoot or bodybuilding competition then worrying about how specific nutrients interact becomes important. However if we are talking about very obese people, then I don't see why the simple calories in vs. calories out (consisting of healthy foods and combined with exercise) would not serve to get them down to a healthy weight.

Very obese people will be seeing a doctor and will have specific diets prescribed to them, not to mention will probably be told what I'm telling you. Regardless, it's important for people to understand what is actually happening in their bodies, and to discredit myths and misinformation. People would be much more healthy in general if they knew more about the foods they eat.

I'm just going to come out and say what everyone else is thinking:

fat people have no right to live. If ever there were a rational excuse for genocide, fatness would be it.

We all experienced joy when we watched se7en with that tubby porker killed by eating all that spaghetti

Of course, I'm joking

wtf? ban.

I hope what I wrote did not touch you personally. I am deeply sorry if this is the case.

Yes... but because I also get pissed off at people such as those you describe, and hate being placed in the same "class" as them.

You didn't say average...you said "most men" are taller than 5'11".

No, I didn't. That was someone else.

I bet the average American male(---Younger than 49---) is pretty close to 5'10+. That's not far enough away from 5'11 to matter very much.

i was responding the claim that most american men are 5'11 or taller with that data (initially). I was then pointing out that you can't generalise like that, what you bet may or not be the case, but you sure as hell can't extrapolate anything meaningful from it...

regardless, in that kinda data, 5'10 would be quite far enough from 5'11 to be significantly different

I get your point about height/weight tho :)

Dug,
I am not reading this entire thread, but maybe you should look in the mirror because it appears your fingers are so fat and heavy they keep double striking the '"o" in lose?

The ones I don't understand are the ones who are too fat to get out of bed so other people have to bring them food.

High metabolism here! Can eat like a mütherfvcker and not put on weight.

I'd actually like to be a bit heavier. Obviously not trying hard enough.

I don't understand how these fatties can look at themselves and not think, holy crap that's utterly disgusting, and instead think, OMGBBQ, there's a bigmac stuck in a crease of my gut, w000000t
