I love that pic :1orglaugh

A statistic I saw on the news ays 75% of North Americans will be obese by the year 2015.

I think it's already around 50%.

I could not agree more. What makes me laugh is the obese woman saying in this thread that she eats SIX times a day' but that she does more gym and eats more healthy than fit people. It's hilarious :1orglaugh

BTW, if her overweight problem is genetic, then there is no way to get out of it by doing gym or eating 'healthier'. Turn to a REAL doctor not a gym owner for advice. Genetic obesity is an illness!

This thread could get huge.

Quite a lot of webmaters are very fat...

Not me though... :)

Eating 5 or 6 times a day is better than 3. Smaller portions every 2-3 hours. It keeps your metabolism going faster and since you eat less, you don't over-eat so you usually burn every calories you ate without producing fat reserves.

eating more than 3 meals a day is only good for people who are active not good for fat lazy assed webmasters sitting at there desk all day working on porn sites

i bet more than 95% of the posters in this thread spend their ever waking hour sat at the computur and dont get up and do anything other than to fetch another pepsi

Exactly. It keeps your blood sugar regulated, reduces cravings, prevents your body into hoarding calories because it isn't sure when it will get more nutrition, and most, if not all, personal trainers and nutritionists recommend eating 5 or 6 smaller portioned meals consisting of healthy food choices each day.

Clearly he didn't read the entire post, or he would have seen that I said that even a fat person trying to get fit will still look fat "for a while."

In any case, a tendency for obesity has been passed down to me, but I know my lifestyle choices have been what made me this overweight, and I've been successful losing fat before, but when I let myself get caught up in the chaos of working FT, college PT, raising four kids, running a household, running a business, and repairing a marriage, I let myself slip back to the bottom of the list and I at least stalled, if not backslid.

It is damn hard. Not so much the actual physical exertion, and not even so much the change in diet, but the hardest part for me is putting myself up in the top of my priority list, no matter how hectic life gets. I will serve the people I love better in whatever role I have with them, be it mother, partner, friend, or whatever, if I am healthy, so I have to remind myself that taking care of me is doing for them, indirectly, to not let guilt that I am taking time and energy away from them get me off track.

Anyway, I'm just going on and on. People will think that they think, and really, it doesn't matter to me at all, I just enjoy a conversation when someone says something that moves me in some way, even if it's a debate.:winkwink:
