fatties, you can stop blaming your genes for your weight problem

[Red Dawn]

if you choose to eat right and exercise there is no reason to believe you'll be fat as you get older. its not the smartest person who survives its the person who can adapt. as you get older and your metabolism slows you will pack on weight assuming you don't change anything else.

if you realize to yourself that conditions have changed since you were younger and adapt your eating and exercising habits to compensate there is no reason to believe you'll remain fat.

people are just too stuck in their fatty ways to change. Just because 60% of Americans are fat doesn't mean i'm going to be.

You're preaching to the chior there Bubba, I've been exercising 3 to 5 times a week for the last 16 years.

BTW, if you exclude children, teenagers and those in their early 20's I'd say it's more like 80% of Americans who are overweight. Now you can't say it's all from people being lazy though, there are those who have time constraints or physical ailments who can't get the exercise in but for most they haven't that excuse.

They're probably like me: after every exercise session, I get hungry, and go straight for a can of coke, a beer, rum and coke, Pillsbury something pizza, etc. And I'm not even fat, I just have a slight beer belly, but perfectly within my BMI.

Ugh, how can you crave that shit after exercising? That will do nothing to help your recovery.

After I work out, my body craves healthy foods - protein, carbs, and hydration. Eggs, lean meat, dairy, fruit and veggies and whole grains. And water.

I can't even eat processed foods like that if I haven't exercised recently. They just upset my stomach.

I crave KFC. And I eat KFC after a work out.

Grilled chicken is yummy and healthy.

I have. My wife has been trying to loose 25 lbs for a long time. She's lost 3. When she was a pre teen her relatives who she spent with grandparents thought a fat child was a happy child and made her one. She lost the weight but it's been a battle all her life in spite of heer diet and exercise. You know why that is right?

I'm wondering just how much our AT physiologists really know.

Honestly, it's harder for women because of lower metabolism and tendency to store fat and not muscle.

I feel for the ladies.

The men who can't are just being bitches. Your body was meant to be a lean muscle machine so man UP!!! I suggest the Ballz aisle at your local Duane Reade if you do not have a pair.

So when are you going to pick up a pair for yourself?

Nothing wrong with grilled chicken. It's a hell of a lot better than a frozen pizza pop and a rum & coke 🙄.

So many sensitive souls in here!

The biggest health troll around here. But watch out, his arms are too big.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

No, actually you wouldn't.

Uh, yes, actually I would. I've done it.

BWAHWHAHAH. dude, i don't think they make lotus' large enough to fit you and your "big arms - ugh".

 

[shortylickens]

I always love these threads.... If something doesn't work, let's keep doing it!

Will diet and exercise cause people to loose weight? Yep. Will they solve the obesity problem? Nope. Why? Because willpower is a finite resource. When you've used up your willpower for the day, on something like, say, a job, or parenting, that's it. There is no more willpower left for healthy eating and exercise.

Besides, even if willpower is infinite, what we're doing isn't working. We've been doing the same thing for decades. If it was going to work, it would have. I'm gonna say it: Big Pharma WILL save us. There's too much money in it for it not too.

/Yes, I'm fat. Not sedentary, just fat.
//Did 33 miles and 6800 feet of vertical climb (each way) over labor day, with a 42 pound pack on. Suck it.

I dont think you've ever served in the military. Willpower exists only in the mind and can be multiplied or destroyed quite easily.
Thats how weak people get stronger, and strong people get ruined.

EDIT:
BUT I will agree that massive willpower and poor technique is a recipe for disaster in almost every endeavor, especially physical fitness.

No, actually you wouldn't. The moment you drop your calories that low, your body thinks you lack resources and food and goes into starvation mode, severely slowing your metabolism.

Losing is weight is easy fuck. Go run for an hour, eat as much healthy good meats and veggies, and go pump some iron. Sooo fucking easy.

If you're like me, I'm 210lbs and trying to keep my bench press at 255 while losing my fat... now this is a little harder.

By the looks of you damn near impossible. While going on a starvation diet is very unhealthy you have to at least have a calorie deficit to lose weight.

As fat as you are you should be the last person telling others they are pussies for not losing weight. You look real bad with your shirt off.

 

[Red Dawn]

Uh, yes, actually I would. I've done it.

Yeah but in doing so your body first uses your muscles for a source of energy (calories) before it does your fat. You lose more muscle than you do fat.

 

[MJinZ]

Hahah, BlahBlah's got my pic saved on his computer.

Can you find more? I have updated pics on one of these threads on ATOT. Scavenger HUNT!!! :awe:

Calorie deficit is easy as hell. When you do intense cardio for a small period of time, it puts your whole body into mega metabolic mode for the rest of the day. You don't need to hit 1000 calories on the Treadmill. You will BURN 1000 calories just sitting on your ass from the 30 minutes of flat out running you did a few hours earlier.

I eat like mad and I'm dropping weight faster than I want, and I'm finding my lifts are stagnant but at least, I haven't gotten any weaker.

You haven't gotten less porcine either. You talk a lot of shit but you haven't a clue from the looks of it. On my Cardio days I'm just getting warmed up at the 1/2 hour mark. Hell my autistic Stepson does more than a half hour a day (actually 2 to 3 hours) and he is in a hell of a lot better shape than you. You say you are muscular but it's hard to believe. I'm 5'11'' 195lbs and I'm no where near a porker as you. In fact I can actually see my abs and I'm an old fucki @56.

Here I was at 230 back when i was 52 and I was in better shape than you

Weight doesn't mean shit obviously, it depends on how tall you are but you knew that... 😉

Also, you confirmed to me with your pic what I had suspected based on your repub posts that only a redneck could make such comments. :ninja:

So until you can walk the walk STFU about others who are having trouble losing weight. You are no one to criticize others about their physical shape or their fitness.

LOL, are you kidding? That's what we do on the forums.

Oh and here's the pic I posted up over a week ago. I checked the dates on my pics, 2 months difference:

I can change my weight, strength and body fat as easily as I want in a few months of time frame. It's called having a brain which allows for both discipline and intelligent diet.

I have no intention of getting to a 6 pack figure, it's too much of time and work that I have to use to neff here and prevents adequate strength progress.
