due to severe budget cuts by Trump administration, all SGC 1 members no longer have access to gym or dietitian health plan.
All members no longer have access to free cafeteria food.
SGC-1 sport arena has been sold to Trump hotel to pay off debts. All alien artifacts to be auction off to pay off cost of operations, salaries for members.

It is the lack of fat in our diets that cause the problem in the first place. Once we started reducing fat intake, we replaced it with more and more carbs and hidden sugars. This is where the obesity problem originated. Once we go back to properly balanced diets everything will be fine.
Not that I'm recommending Mens Journal as a good scientific source or anything, but here is an interesting article on the topic: Why Experts Now Think You Should Eat More Fat
"According to a new study from the National Institutes of Health, a diet that reduces carbohydrates in favor of fat – including the saturated fat in meat and butter – improves nearly every health measurement, from reducing our waistlines to keeping our arteries clear, more than the low-fat diets that have been recommended for generations."

Richard Anderson lost weight. There was a photo of him taken by papazazzi showed he weight a ton.

It's not so much about exercise (or lack thereof) as their diet. For all you know those men are killing it at the gym only to undo it by mindless eating the rest of the day.

Was that the 'study' that used self reported data? Not exactly a reliable way of studying cause/effect.Jimbobs wrote: ↑ It is the lack of fat in our diets that cause the problem in the first place.

Weight gain/loss always comes down to energy balance. There hasn't ever been a single (proper) study that showed otherwise.

Such an impassioned topic, weight-loss that is. Everyone's certainly got their own opinion on it.
Treating weight-loss like a mathematical equation is great on paper, but not so effective in real world scenarios.

Quite the opposite actually, the only way one's going to lose weight effectively is to treat weight loss like a mathematical equation.
Whatever diet is out there, the underlying principle is calorie restriction, they just give it a cool name as a hook (Atkins, Paleo, even cabbage soup LoL).

See, now that type of black/white is simply not true. It is not just calorie in/calorie out. It is not just calorie restriction.ellesdad wrote: ↑ Quite the opposite actually, the only way one's going to lose weight effectively is to treat weight loss like a mathematical equation.

The human body, the individual human body, is way too complex for that simple line of thinking...hebs
ps...and I know, I've now baited you into another one of those pointless internet arguments, as to why it is the calorie and nothing else. FTR, I'm walking away from this thread now, but do feel free to air your e-opinion others!

Sour grapes, I guess? Sorry if it did not work for you.hebsie wrote: ↑

But seriously, I know it's simplistic, that the body does fight back and you don't lose as much as you're supposed to lose later on in the diet. I know that. But for you, how else do you think one loses weight? Is it magic?

Genetics. And one day you'll open your closed mine and learn something new! Cheers...hebs

I did not downvote, maybe someone else did because you did not offer anything to support your argument and just backed out lol.
Give us something, how does one go from weighing 350 lbs to 200? Genetics, how insightful. How does one gain weight, blame genetics too right?

Genetics don't change the laws of thermodynamics though. Energy balance is still what drives weight gain or loss. There isn't a shred of proof showing otherwise. Genetics impact things like BMR or an individual's likelihood to have high or low NEAT. But those are just factors in the energy balance equation.

Can you cite some references for this argument? I assume you are only referring to weight gain/loss and regarding overall health as irrelevant.amz155 wrote: ↑ Genetics don't change the laws of thermodynamics though.

You pretentious, judgement dweeb......
Do you know anything about these people ? Do you know anything about their health. Actually, do you know anything about anything except yourself and your own bigoted opinion. Do you know anything about them and their lives.
Look at how you started this thread ........... there was no attempt to start a productive conversation but instead demean and degrade other people who may not be as fortunate as you are enjoying supposed good health and sitting on your high horse comparing your wonderfulness to those less fortunate.
Get a life and if you want to start a productive conversation, try doing so less judgementally ( in you are capable )

I am not demeaning anyone. I am trying to raise a point that men don't seem to be aware of health until they have heart attack.
I often see women jogging, doing yoga.
it is very expensive to treat diabetes if one body become obese. North America has obesity epidemic which can't be ignored like minor inconvenience.
Airlines often see obese passengers who overtake seats from other passengers. it doesn't take much effort to walk briskly everyday to loose weight.
when I was working at the bank for contract job, I regularly see obese employees whom worked there for at least 20years. I can't believe anyone allow their weight to increase to such huge amount.
