You Are Fat And A Burden On The Health System

[Tigadee]

be careful....whats the difference between gluttonous buffoons and temporary kiwis.......

,,, or between gluttonous buffoons and politicians?

Fat tax. Make the bad shit expensive, and cut the gst on unprocessed foods, and fruit/veges.

Totally agree with that!

And get food companies to be honest about their products or else face penalties. Last year, I bought two bags of Hubbards Muesli which contained 5 different grains, including buckwheat which was good for controlling blood sugar. But when I cracked the bag open and consumed some, it was so ridiculously sweet, I spit it out!

The sugar content [per 100gm] seemed average but then closer examination of the ingredients revealed four different types of sugar [two disguised as somethign else]. I think that's totally dishonest.

You say if I eat less, move more, and don't sit on my arse all day, I won't get fat?

No! Its like logic!

'Tis foul magic at work, I say....

I find the best way to control bloodsugar (for me personally) is stop drinking. Because I eat like a feral child when I've been drinking, and then feel like shit for days after because I've filled my body with empty carbs and sugar which has to go somewhere.

Its cheaper too

For me, it's exercise... Not even an hour three or four times a week, just 20 intense minutes three times a week with as much walking as I can (like 15 mins of brisk walking before lunch everyday).

With my time constraints and daily pressures of life (work, family, bills, car, bikes, etc.), I now subscribe to the school of thought that it's the intensity of exercise and not duration [e.g. cardio] that is more important and effective. The right types of exercises raise your metabolism and keeps it up there for the next 48 hours till your next intense workout, thereby allowing you to burn off fat and carbs more efficiently [and more easily if you eat right too]. It's called the 'Afterburn Effect'.

And it's cheaper too, no equipment, no membership fees, no fancy clothes or shoes...

Firstly, I'm not fat. Anyone who can win at hide and seek in a bean garden can't be considered fat.

Secondly, active people are also a burden, how many injuries and pulled muscles from jogging and that sort of carry on are there?

Thirdly, maybe skinny slothlike people are the way to go, I used to be one of them.

Fourthly, being fit is awesome, you can take the piss and not get a beating.

Fifthly, fatties will be the slowest and provide a distraction when we are invaded by aliens, or robots.

Nextly, rendering all the fat will take time for the aforementioned conquerors, and be a source of explode-ables for the rebels.

Lastly, without fatties there would be far less pies, and you can't successfully rebel without some good pies.

Or motorbiking ?

You were a teenager?

Good point.

...or beer.

[bogan]

Yeh, but fatties can do that too, they just spend a bit more on gas, tyres, suspension, frames...

You were a teenager?

Even worse, uni student

...or beer.

I reckon fatties have way more of a monopoly on pies than they do on beer, and you can always rebel with moonshine

My parents said that I was not to worry, I am simply heavy boned

Mind you, I've never actually seen a fat skeleton

Still, I am harder to kidnap so......yeah....

Loads of info around for eating right isn't there? Start your day off with a decent breakfast, slow down on the carbs after midday, smaller meals at night. A bit of exercise, preferably a good romp in the sack with Miss Gina three or four times a week, ooopps wrong website for that.
All that's missing for the majority of folks is them little things called motivation and moderation me thinks. It ain't easy, will admit that, I gotta work on it myself...but I just have to laugh at the large number who shrug their shoulders and blame genetics

Tonights post work-out meal:

double whopper w/cheese and extra bacon

tendercrisp burger with extra mayo

cheese burger with mayo

large fries

diet coke

Very good snack, gives the heart a good work out

If you eat like a bitch you will train like a bitch

I did my bit for society by refusing to go out at 10pm last night to get kiwifruit icecream.

[GingerMidget]

I see your kiwifruit iceacream, and raise you mammoth supply company peanut butter icecream.
OMG.

This is not the secret to losing weight though. Its a great way to gain 4kg in less than that many months, and becoming the heaviest you have ever been, with the least amount of muscle.

Fast forward from August to today, I'm back down to within 2kg of my previous goal weight (unrealistic dream) and content to stay here.

I'm not fat
(anymore)

Oh shit yes. It really is just so astonishingly good, isn't it?

I should note, by the way, that 'kiwifruit' is the handle of another member of this forum. He likes to run marathons in one-piece leathers and turn Yamaha Scorpios into racebikes. He is my flatmate. It was 10pm, and he wanted icecream. At the time, I don't believe he cared much what flavour it'd be.

Only when I read your post did I realise the ambiguity of my wording.

Scorpios into racebikes?!

[jrandom]

Scorpios into racebikes?!

Yes. I have one too. It doesn't go right now, but I believe that to be traditional for racebikes.

[GingerMidget]

I wish I had pics of when I joined the gym, compared to now. I wasn't big, but I certainly wouldn't have taken me home on a Saturday night.

Ambiguity FTL.
Clearly I'm a noob.
