When the hell did fat shaming become such a NO NO!

[algebra1900]

Simple.....please study a bit of anthropology.
You are designed to EAT EAT EAT and pack on fat.
Loosing weight actually hurts! Not only physically but also mentally!
But we are human, we have free will and we can over power our basic animal urges in order to live long happy lives!
This woman was in her i would say mid 20's but looked like she was in her mid 30's and i'll be amazed if she sees her mid 40's without any major medical issues!

I'm afraid you have no idea what you're talking about, but nice try bullshitting. Whenever you want some actual science on the biochemistry behind obese people, please feel free to ask.

uh huh....really....all these years we had the plethora of calories that we have today at our disposal?
Ever been to a third world country and seen the limit of how little we use to eat back when were were substance farmers and gatherers?

Either way this woman needed to have been fat shamed from the moment she started gaining weight! Maybe if she had she would live to see her 60th birthday with all her limbs attached!

I remember when I used to be fat. Now I can run marathons and only need like 4 hours of sleep without getting wore out. There are a lot of people out there with medical conditions that can't help being over weight (but most aren't). I really feel sorry for ones eating excess amounts of food without exercising enough to become a healthy weight. It's really not rocket science, they just need to burn more calories than they consume. The problem is people are just plain lazy and look for shortcuts like magic pills or videos to buy when they should be doing it their self.

Fuck, you could eat 1 full meal of McDonalds everyday and be a healthy weight. That Supersize Me movie is full of shit. Consuming 3 huge calorie meals a day of ANYTHING and sitting on your ass will make anyone become obese (duh). I only eat 1 good sized meal a day after my exercise routine and do fine (obviously you should eat a lot more if you're building fat content to shape into muscle). 3 portions a day is ridiculous, do you really think if you lived in the wild you could get 3 full meals a day? I doubt it. You would probably be lucky if you got 1 good sized meal every other day and cavemen then were probably burning 10 times the calories we are today.

So let's do the math, the average person burns A LOT less calories than 100 years ago (because of technology), yet a lot of them are still eating 2-3 meals a day, meals are 2-3 times bigger portion, and they tend to eat more junk food causing more fat. No wonder so many people are over weight. I don't know what's worse, how unhealthy the average person is today or the fact that so many people can't figure out why the population is so obese.

I really don't think you understand why fat people are fat, and yes I have been to a third world country. A third world country is not a representation of what was being eaten by the average person back when we were "substance farmers and gatherers". Which by the way are two very different periods in time just so you know.

Sleep is so very vital to the healing of the human body. You really should be sleeping 8 hours a day, and if you are working out catching a one or two hour nap plus your regular 8 hours of sleep is extremely beneficial. No, people aren't lazy, that is just a very unfair statement. You don't realize that these people are literally addicted to food. Do you tell a heroin addict they are lazy because they can't kick the habit? A fat person has more will power than the normal individual. A fat person needs more will power to get out of bed in the morning than a normal person even exerts throughout their entire morning routine. I don't think you were ever really fat, I don't think you understand what happens when you hit 100+ lbs. overweight. It isn't as simple as "eating less calories". We are talking about the nutritional content of the food you intake. I challenge you, I seriously challenge you to become obese on fruits and vegetables.

There is nothing wrong with eating throughout the day. No, most of the hunter gatherers and even the human beings in agriculture ate throughout the day. Do you know how Sumo wrestlers add fat to their bodies? They workout in the morning until noon, they eat a huge meal, then they go to sleep. That is how they add all that fat to their body, now why don't you tell me again how you love eating one meal a day. There is a lot of misinformation about nutrition, it isn't as easy as you're making it out to be, especially if you are addicted to sugar and the processed food you've been eating since you were 3.

I lost 72 lbs in about a year and a half, most of it was in a year. I think I know what it's like to work towards something.

I am not trying to knock your achievement. I know it was hard work, and I congratulate you on your weight loss. However knowing what it is like to work has no bearing on your knowledge of nutrition. I mean you literally just suggested someone eat McDonald's once a day and they could lose weight. Why do you think that? Do they have the same genetics as you? The same biochemistry? No, they don't, your anecdotal evidence isn't helpful in the overall picture of why 50% of America is obese.

Anyone can eat 1 McDonalds meal a day with exercising enough to either stay the same weight or lose a little. I'm sticking by my statement. I would even be willing to do a 30 day challenge to prove it to you. The problem is people get that whole exercising thing lost in translation.

I think shooting a Super Size Me parody is an excellent idea.

[LilyRox]

Yeah well the Supersize Me thing was rigged from the start. He was eating like 4,500 calories a day and literally sitting on his ass. You can't blame McDonald's for that. He was eating McDonald's 3 times a day for like 30 days that's like 90 full meals, no one does that. McDonald's is horrible crappy food, but basically the idea is with the right portions and exercise you can pretty much eat anything, though it may not give you the energy you need. Soda is the main thing to stay away from.
