fat is back in style?

[videogames101]

The best way to lose weight is to get the amount of food you are consuming under control(hopefully leaving you at least at a small calorie deficit, or more if your previous eating habits were full on fatty) and add moderate exercise. This creates a sustainable change in lifestyle.



Someone is going to be a lot more willing to change their lifestyle if the changes you are suggesting sound reasonable.

If you tell someone they are going to have to do 3 hours of intense exercise everyday to lose weight most people are go to say screw that and then eat a bag of Cheetos to feel better

Eating healthy is (apparently) just as unreasonable as working out, because nobody does it.

However mad you guys want to get, the fact is people can eat what they want if they exercise properly.

you have to really do it though.. if you want to eat more then 2000 calories a day you have to either be an workoutaholic or a teenager.

doing 20min a day of cardio isnt going to do much of anything... you need to build up a rolling sweat which takes 20min alone, then keep going for a good half hour at least. do this almost every day, then youll find you can eat pretty unhealthy and be ok.

you can also work construction or whatnot, and have a steady load on your body all day long. when i was doing that, i would eat a lot of junk food and i stayed really skinny. but now? just general activity like yard work and such? i cant eat much crap anymore... ive become mostly vegetarian actually. because of my new job requirements, i choose to eat better then do repetitive workouts that dont get any real work done.

for me, its a lot easier to change my diet then to force myself to run a sweat every day.

I work out 3-4 times a week for probably an hour to an hour and a half. Plus I watch what I eat.

I mean when a cookie has as many calories as say and entire bowl of chilli then you learn some foods are OK and some you just learn to not like.

Once I got into a routine and educated I lost a good amount of weight. I'm 32 now , provably left twice what I could at 22 and I feel like I can do anything I did as a teenager. Plus I'm a little "cut" now. Just need to have reasons to bother learning how to eat and workout. If you do both you won't just be skinny you'll be athletic looking

 

[nickbits]

i run 4-5miles 5x a week and eat ice cream every day. seems like a fair trade off.

I find it funny. Most of the posts in this thread is pure chub hate, and doesn't even really have anything to do about the person's health. I mean, if health was the real issue, then why does no one flip out when there is a glamour shot of a model smoking a cig?

smoking is worse than any amount of fat level except morbidily obese, at least from an datability standpoint imho

Agreed. Which is why I find it hypocritical when someone knocks a model for being chubby, but not a model (or celebrity) for smoking.

Because there is no "smoker acceptance" campaign.

And yet most of the naysayers try to justify not having plus sized models by saying "herp derp its unhealthy and promotes unhealthy lifestyles".

It does. Smoking did too and, accordingly, has been pretty much wiped from movies and television and excised from pretty much everywhere that is not outdoors.

She looks more natural than most of the women who are considered "hot" these days.

Well, unless you include possible irritation of the esophagus from throwing up upon sight*, being around overweight people doesn't really include any possible health risks unlike possible issues with second-hand smoke.


*Note: That's not meant to be taken seriously, by the way!

And yet I still see it on a regular daily basis, both in public and in entertainment. In fact, I see smoking more frequently in movies and television than I do chubby and plus sized people.

True, but you are not susceptible to second-hand smoke from a movie or TV screen (at least not until we get smell-o-vision!), and everything was done to minimize it in both of those mediums.

Really? I don't, not in new stuff anyway (I watch a lot of old movies so there is smoking all over them). Fatties abound, smokers are relatively minimal. Of course I don't watch Mad Men, so maybe that's where you are seeing all of the smokers.

Yeah... I probably didn't respond to the best post. I'm more or less referring to smokers vs. overweight people in public.

Someone linked boogie's rage on the X1 yesterday, and I noticed that he posted a video on fat shaming not too long ago:

Thoughts?

Interesting; had no idea. Must be in movies I don't watch.

Regardless, I think smoking and overweight are both bad and neither should be celebrated. I love a good cigar though. :hmm:

I'll have to watch it when I get home from work. Marked it for later so I can have a beer and some nachos while watching.

KT

Edit: Before even watching I should say I think there is a distinct difference between shaming someone for something and just not celebrating that particular attribute.

fat isnt the problem. its people that dont take care of themselves and become fat. it actually is gross, because they are made of the shit they eat.

almost all fat people are that way because they choose to eat unhealthy. some aren't, some are just born that way but its so few it would be ridiculous to think one way about something just because of the exceptions.

I see what's going on here....your fat girlfriend just left your computer hugging, sock jacking off self for a real man ?

It's ok little guy, there's lots of fat girls out there for you so don't give up on them.

What do you think ed ?

 

[Jeff7181]

I really wish people would stop saying it's OK to be fat. That's a terrible message to send kids. Say all you want about people being superficial, the fact of the matter is being overweight is unhealthy and we shouldn't teach our kids to be unhealthy.

That said, yes, I'm a hypocrite. I'm fat, but I'm not OK with it.

Just because you're overweight doesn't mean you're unhealthy, it just means you're not physically fit.

Not physically fit is unhealthy. This is why PE was mandated for you for every single semester of your childhood.

And yet people who are chubby die less from health related issues than people who are fit. Go figure

Uh huh, that's why of all the life insurance I have sold, EVERYONE as short or shorter than the woman in the OP's photo is rated (charged more), and only once in my career has an otherwise healthy person been rated or denied coverage due to being underweight, and he was probably a bulimic.

If you want to know who is the most likely to die, ask and insurance company with over 100 years of mortality experience. Everything else is a fraud, anomaly, or the result of a flawed methodology.

#1 reason to be charged more for life insurance: Not enough vertical inches per pound, not a family history of cancer, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease. Why? #1 leads directly or indirectly to all of those.

Shh. Obviously your company would rather hate fat people than make money. ^_^
