Now I know why people are obese...

[purepolly]

So I've decided to eat healthier - not because of any weight issue, but rather to have a balanced diet. So my plan was to start gradually - 2 pieces of fruit or veg/day/week, and then add a new piece each new week. I'm now up to 4 pieces a day, but damn that's a whole hell of a lot of food! Jeez, a whole banana is only one serving - it seems like that much food should count for 2 servings at least.

I'm going to be a blimp soon!

:roll:

Well, bread, cheese and seeds haven't made me fat either.

I can say as a matter of fact that it is definitely not fruits and vegetables that have made people fat.

No, they just cause an individual to bloat up like a puffer-fish. Wow, how unappealing is that?

I eat a good amount of fruit and that hasn't happened to me.

Don't worry, in the morning you'll just piss it out your ass.

Ahh, NO.

I was as regular as clockwork before I started this healthy crap two weeks ago. That has clearly gone out the window. Now my gut is just some rumbling sort of compost pile - stuff goes in, rots and comes out very infrequently.

your body has been compensating for a crappy diet. switching has undone its careful equilibrium and it will create a new one with time

 

[Tweak155]

its like cutting down on meals, your body has to adjust, id say give it a while longer, if it aint workin, do somethin different

Eat cheese.

Obviously eating fruits and veggies is not working for you, maybe you should go back to grazing at Dunks like most of those in Mass do and hope your metabolism doesn't change on you as you age.

This is why I suggest just eating pizza with the works.

Gets all 5 food groups in one sitting

Got your bread from the crust, dairy from the cheese, meat from sausage and pepperoni, veggies from onions and olives, fruit from tomatoe.

And this way the tomatoe helps prevent prostate cancer they say so one less thing to worry about

mmmm pizza....

 

[thomsbrain]

you're supposed to eat the fruit and veggies INSTEAD of the crap, not on top of it.

 

[shopbruin]

um... fruits and veggies definitely do not make you fat. they do have a high sugar content, no? high fiber content for some of them, which may add to making you feel fuller.

of course i'm probably wrong. its just that when i eat fruit, i feel really full afterwards. bananas and apples especially, along with peaches. canteloupe i love also. honeydew is good but that's mostly water.

 

[purepolly]

I've got way more self discipline than that - I'll keep at the fruits/veggies.

Any food will make you fat. It's calorie intake vs calories expended. If you take in more calories than you use, you get fat. Plain and simple.

 

[food4thots]

i agree, americans eat way more than they really need to. the portion size of our meals are increasing. i think genetics plays a role in weight too.. thank god i got the good genes.

 

[GasX]

You know what makes you fat?

Eating more calories than you burn...

Bread, cheese, seeds and nuts are not crap. Look at the food pyramid - they are there!

I must admit it though - I've never really been all that into food. I just prefer bland tasting things.

Some fruits, apples included, have a sweetner in them called sorbitol. This natural sweetner, while very low on the GI scale, can cause excessive gas and bloating in some people because it does not start to break down until it hits the large intestine.

I know I have some NASTY farts when I eat apples.

What else does this, besides apples?
