@darthchaosofrspw2009 difference between a fat person and a race is a fat person can lose their weight and it is something within their control. A person's race has no such benefits.
When I saw the "thin white lady" clip in the movie, I burst out laughing. I guess I'm kind of hypocritical since I'm a healthy weight and white, but I look into obesity and nutrition research all the time. But I guess it's better that then to NOT educate myself, right?
The last minute or so of the video summed up my thoughts on this (and considering the new health care system that was just introduced....) - ban socialized medicine and also it is not constitutional to force people to eat xyz
Incidentally does this mean taxes on cigarettes and alcohol is also unconstitutional?
what is it with people thinking its all about calories. What people need to look at is how the body reacts toward what you eat. The Hormonal activities the body initiates once something is ingested. Like butter for example does not make your body deposit any fat tissue and its pretty calorous in fat.
Obesity is a problem in the U.S., but so is all these god damn naturally fit people like Memo Roth who have never had to deal with being fat in the first place. They think that their "healthy, low fat" diets and advice on exercise is gonna make everyone thin. Is their advice helping? NOPE!
No, I'm saying if you don't live here, you can't walk down the street and see for yourself if 60% the people appear to be fat. I do live here, I travel all over the country, and unless all the fat people are hiding, there's no way 60% of us are fat.
I see more fat people than a generation ago, but I also see plenty of men who are built like Matt Damon or George Clooney -- who are "overweight" according to the BMI scale. And neither of them is particularly muscular ... just not THIN.
Okay, then it's my business when people watch TV instead of working out, since exercise matters more than weight for health. It's my business when people drink, or play football, or ride a motorcycle, or don't take their medications, or quit their jobs, or have children (burden on the school system, you know).
By the way, smokers die 10 years younger on average and collect a lot less Social Security. If you're going to make this about economics, it's going to get very silly, very quickly.
No, my reasoning is that the percent of obese and overweight people is greatly exaggerated by BMI, in whichever country it's applied.
Every time our media runs a story about obesity and announces that 60% of us are overweight, they show these HUGE bodies walking by. The impression is that 60% of us look like that, which simply isn't true. Most of those categorized as "overweight" by BMI (including me) looking nothing like that.
Our average weight since 1970 has gone up 10 pounds, not 50.
Once again, you're assuming anyone "overweight" by BMI standards is waddling with a huge body. Simply not true.
I know plenty of people who are "fat" according to the BMI scale, like to eat, and have little or no interest in losing weight. Others have tried to lose weight and failed thanks to stupid calorie-counting theories, so they've given up.
Either way, it's their business, not MeMe's or mine or yours, and refusing to accept them for who they are doesn't solve a thing.
I remember following the Low Carb diet in 2007, and I also remember feelling HIGH all the time. I could do what ever I wanted, and eat as much as I wanted, and was happy to look foward to each Sunday where I could weigh myself and see the numbers drop. Progress! On the low carb diet, you're not concerned with numbers too much. On the damn low calorie diet, I was getting obsessed with counting calories and being worried that I over ate. Fuck Low Calorie!
We are fatter than we used to be. But the 60% figure is way off. Just because we use the BMI scale, that doesn't mean it's at all accurate. BMI declares a 6'0" man "overweight" as soon as he tops 185 pounds. Thus, nearly all muscular people -- and we have plenty of those, too -- are all counted as "overweight."
When I walk around and see people in public, there's no way 60% of them are fat. You don't live here, so you're really in no position to judge.
I do blame Ancel Keys. The point is, MeMe Roth isn't going to make anyone thinner by shaming them, and failing to shame them isn't going to make people fatter.
Some people love to eat junk food and don't care if they're overweight. If so, that's their business, not MeMe's, or mine, or yours.
As for the 60% figure, you're basing that on the BMI standard, which is complete hogwash ... unless you believe Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Matt Damon are all overweight.
I just read about a woman who lose 50 pounds, but barely changed her fat-to-muscle ratio. That means she lost nearly equal amounts of both. I'd recommend always doing some progressive resistance while trying to lose weight.
I know it's a good bet. I checked out an article where a few studies were collected on low carb's affects on muscle. One study had two groups of people on a diet of 500 calories. 1 group ate only protein(pure protein), while the other ate a mix of carbs and protein. By the end of the study, they measured how much muscle each group lost. The carb/protein group lost muscle, the protein only group didn't. That's because 500 calories of protein is 125 grams. More than enough to sustain muscle.
MeMe Roth wants to push calorie counts in everyone's faces and shame people into going on calorie-restricted dies. Those have been shown, over and over in research, to be abysmal failures. The lowfat nonsense pushed by groups like CSPI (she works for them too) made obesity more widespread. If it's socially contagious, we have idiots like her to thank for the contagion.
First off, I didn't say that I thought that low carb diets caused muscle loss. I was only asking for fathead's opinion or belief in the whole matter. I personally think that as long as your protein intake is big enough, then there shouldn't be any muscle loss occuring on a diet. The "some guy" I heard the whole muscle loss thing from was Steve Turano from
BodyPerformanceTV. When heard him talk about his thoughts on the diet, I became a little curious.
I don't want to sound like a frat boy douchebag or anything... But I'd mack on Meme Roth, sure! If she didn't talk....
Do you think if high schoolers listened to enough of her interviews they'd end up with an eating disorder? I'd say a definite few out of a class-full would. They just make obesity sound so SCARY! Like if you eat a chicken wing at a party you're suddenly, contributing to this horribly costly, deadly, unattractive EPIDEMIC of DOOM! Don't get fat, or ELSE~
I believe she could definitely inspire some eating disorders. She works with CSPI, which pushes low-fat diets. Those just make people hungrier and more likely to over-consume.
I've got a question for you Fathead. Do you beleive that when you're on a low carb diet that you'll lose a lot of muscle mass? Because I've heard from some people that for every pound of fat you lose, you lose a pound of muscle.
You can lose muscle mass on any diet, but it's worse on low-fat/high carb diets because they're typically low in protein. The key is to work your muscles. I once gained 10 pounds while losing fat around my waist and making good progress on the weight machines at the same time.
@FatHeadMovie yes, high carb diets are a muscle killer, i know because i ended up losing alot of muscle and actually gained 10 lbs of fat in bootcamp where i ate nothing but carbs.
That's what happens to you when you're on a high carb, low fat diet. On Low Carb, you are getting enough protien to keep building muscles. As long as you eat low carb, proper protien, and keep working out you will lose fat and gain muscle.
Sorry, but those "some people" are wrong. Everything is different for everybody , but if that was the case, they would emaciate down to nothing but skin and bones. You can combat muscle atrophy by eating the right amounts of quality foods, and lifting weights. Building muscle will in turn help burn fat.
I think that people focus too much on how much carbs and fats we need and not enough about about how much protein we need. Personally, I consume a low calorie diet that is high in protein. About 120 grams a day from fish, chicken, beef, etc. I consume moderate amounts of carbs and fats and I am able to controll my appetite.
