"Obesity is a disease not a decision"
This is a new campaign that the American Medical Association actually declared obesity a disease! Billboards with this phrase are popping up around the country.
I've worked out for 10 years straight and I definitely sacrifice eating shit food even though I enjoy it just as much as the next guy. THIS IS A DECISION I HAVE CONSCIOUSLY MADE. http://posttrib.suntimes.com/news/da...n-disease.html Discuss.... |

I was at the inlaws over the holiday, and I drank from 11am until bedtime (usually midnight) for 5 days straight. On top of that, I ate like a pig with tons of desserts. I feel you, but I'm just cutting back now to a couple of drinks a night. Fasting today felt awesome.

That being said, I'm not discounting the "graze all day" method of weight control and nutrition. I think it works for some people, but I also think people have a tendency to underestimate the calorie count of their "grazing." This then leads to a difficulty in losing weight. The bottom line is that weight loss is calories in vs. calories out. There are many different ways to achieve this, Intermittent Fasting just works well for a lot of people and is extremely simple.

De novo lipogenesis (Carbohydrates to fat) occurs when your glycogen stores are full. It's not a very common occurrence, in reality. It can happen when you over-eat on carbs for days on end and your glycogen stores are full, or when you have a large consumption of glucose (which is gross, and therefore, not likely). The way that excess carbohydrates will cause you to gain weight is by blunting out fatty acid oxidation, much in the same way that calories from alcohol won't make you fat (the body has no way to store these calories and they are prioritized for energy -- however, they, like excess carbs blunt the effects of oxidation of other energy sources). Low carb diets make you lose weight due to the fact that carbs are hydrophilic. The first few days of a low carb diet will cause you to shed a lot of water weight, and therefore the scale number goes down, but studies show that after this effect takes place, low carbohydrate diets show no statistical advantage over other diets with the same calorie restrictions. |

Again, many studies show that meal frequency has zero impact on metabolism. Here's just one, but there are lots. http://jn.nutrition.org/content/141/1/154.full.pdf+html |

Portion control only works if it's healthy portions. You can't eat small amounts of KFC during the day and be healthy. Again it's simple: stop consuming sugar. Your body can't process it, and stores it to fat asap. This isn't difficult - kill the soft drinks and ice cream and frappacinos and life will drastically improve.
Your diet is probably 2-3x as important as your exercise regimen is in dtermining fat. It's your choice: eat healthier or work out a ton to compensate. Really, which is easier? |

So, we are all actually in agreement that it's a decision, right?
