Exercise won't cure obesity

[amberdima 6]

1,500 a day is super low for a big guy. fyi- i'm no expert, but i have worked in a hospital-based health club for 3 yrs, so i get to see people trying different diets and exercise plans. i agree with an earlier post about the quality of calories. i'm also ravenous after a workout. try chowing down on some quality foods after- whole grains, fruits, veggies.

I hear you, but it's easier said than done!! My appetite after a serious workout is similar to my appetite after a few beers - grains and veggies just don't cut the mustard! It's got to be a big, fat meat & potatoes combo of some sort. Which, incidentally, is why I've also canned the beer. And that's the way it's staying until I hit my perfect fighting weight of 14 stone (196lbs). Once I hit that, the idea is to then go back to eating ####### I like, and counterbalancing that with the extreme workouts.

See? I got it all figured out!

good work! p.s. i love beer. and switching to vodka doesn't help

Yeah... I say keep beer on the menu.

For those of you that are into heavy workouts-

Try something to eat shortly before the session and something slightly sweet after. It still won't cull the hunger, but if you eat slow enough, the leptin coming from your intestines will reach your hypothalamus and the resulting urge to eat will go down, catching up and reducing that hunger drive.

As a species we're programmed to eat when we can and however we can, but to also last periods of fasting.

Well...

Diet = Calories In

Exercise = Calories Out

If Calories In > Calories Out, you won't lose any weight.

Some medicines along with age will also pervent weight loss

Just be sure to have a diet beverage with that fast food meal. Net zero....

Glad to hear that excercise won't help. That should help us get the obese population closer to 50%.

Gary Taubes really needs to get out on the talk show circuit I think. And then he needs to go beat the USDA about the head until they change the dang pyramid

Good Calories, Bad Calories

And I'll just keep beating y'all about the head until you read the book.

Yup, I totally agree.

No exercise includes not bending your elbow.

Probably in poor taste, but Hitler came up with a dieting plan that seems to work very well. Too well!

Probably? Goes way beyond "poor taste" more like " flucking crass".
