True Reasons for Obesity

Everyone has heard all their lives this "calories in calories out" formula. They calculate calories by taking food, drying it, burning it and measuring the heat produced in calories. That's where they get the word calories from. But burning food and measuring the heat produced like its some kind of engineering equation is not what the body does with food. Nutritionist scientists who study obesity have known this for years but the message is not getting out, not even to doctors.

@ozianna unless you have actually done a medical degree and studied the metabolism or hormones of overweight or obese people I don't think you have the right to say that there is nothing wrong. To be honest you just sound like an insensitive asshole.

@1986severus So you have to have a medical degree? I suppose it really should be from an ivy lead school as well. Yes, that would be even better, right? Well, Hippocrates didn't have one. He was probably a lot better physician then most modern doctors. At least I doubt he killed the majority of his patents like most modern doctors eventually do.

I completly agree.. I also think that obesity has to do something with hormonal balance.. also there is something wrong with food.. PMnews1 check out this video on you tube.. /watch?v=X23XZcTiJ5s&feature=c­hannel_video_title

@TheVeneth Many people are overweight because they do eat too much but there are many like myself who have some kind of medical condition that prevents them from losing weight no mater what they do. Also your right there is something wrong with food. I have noticed food doesn't taste too good anymore unless you pay a kings ransom for it. Everything is produced in these giant factory farms now which is cruel for the animals had bad for our health. And everything has to be doused with chemicals!

Another reason:

The body builds a certain number of fat cells until you're 15 and that will never decrease!

You can lose weight, but that does not mean that the fat cells go away, they just empty themselves like baloons and become microscopic.

But from the day you eat normal again, they fill again like baloons.

And if you eat too much, you get additional fat cells, which also won't vanish after dieting, they just shrink and then fill themselves again.

@VVundenflamme This is all true but not the whole story. Its is likely true that my Mom's side of the family built up a gene to resist starvation from famine but some people get really fat and can't lose no mater what they do. Doctors put them on starvation diets which results in a situation called ketosis but they often still lose little and many times die.

@PMnews1

100% Grade A Bullshit.

ALL fat people in a Military Bootcamp will loose weight & keep it off as long as their BEHAVIOR (eating/exercise) is in the control of a healthy person. Furthermore, you should see these fat people in bootcamp who still try & steal their sugar drugs at the chow hall & hide them in their pockets.

Fat people in military bootcamp are forced to exercise & eat the same as normal people and they thus become normal people since their addiction/excuses are taken away

[parasitesarefunny]

Fat people always have excuses, just like any other addict or lazy/unemployed person

1. It takes energy to move a mass. Muscles use energy to move our body mass

2. Some people have more fat cells/brain cells than others but it takes behavior to increase size of fat cells/brain cells

3. Fat people hide their addiction to food & lie to themselves just like other addicts

4. Fat is not created out of thin air, it takes more energy than you use

5. People are physical machines not magical deities

@PMnews1 it was nothing to do with your video or what you said in the video it was merely directed at that persons comment. In fact I agreed with most things said in the video.

[1986severus]

@PMnews1 did you actually read the comment that I was replying to? I was merely saying that ozianna was wrong in saying that obese/ overweight people are that way because they eat too much and don't exercise and that it has more to do with motabalism and hormones. I thought it was a narrow minded comment and was making a point by saying that unless they have the knowledge of the human body and the way it works shouldn't say that as it makes people like myself who have a weight problem feel bad.

[ozianna]

I think this is the problem of obese people that they believed so much that there is something wrong with their body and nothing wrong with their eating habits or lifestyle. This guy says the calorie intake and calory burn thing is a horse shit :-))) which absolutely not even in biggest loser they move more and eat less and thats how it works, they can't just stop eating maan :-)) and they do blame their metabolism or bla bla, that is bullshit if you eat more than you burn you gain weight!!!
