Fit Man Concerned For Obese Tv Anchor - Topic

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1914974,00.html
Article about study into weight loss having no real net gain from exercise, its not the one i was looking for which is more recent and shows genetic predispositions, but it does show that exercise is vastly over rated for weight loss.

it's all about calories intake man. IF you get like 1500 calories a day there's no way you will get fat.

You can still get fat at 1500 calories a day, metabolism plays a huge part, thyroid issues can also be terrible for it.

ITT people are angry when someone pointed out the obvious.

people aren't always going to sit around silently while arrogant pricks "point out the obvious"

So you're allowed to point out the obvious of what a prick he is, but he can't point out the obvious of how unhealthy someone is? Yeah that makes sense.

how can you say "obesity is caused by factors beyond our control at this point"? Very few people cannot control their weight because of some disease. Everyone else just likes to think so.

This one I'll agree with. Though this woman specifically does have some thyroid issues, afaik, which can have a pretty shitty effect when it comes to weight loss.

Quote (Arsenic_Touch @ Oct 7 2012 10:36am)

Some people missed what I said it seems. She has a thyroid problem and exercises regularly, even runs races and has one coming up. It'd be wonderful if people would at least attempt to get some of the back story before firing off pot shots.

Egggxactly. If one's hormones are out of whack, as happens with thyroid dysfunction or post-pregnancy recalibration (that last term I just made up, btw :lol:

), then body weight gets dysregulated.

Also, there's a bunch of chemicals in our food and medications that mess with equilibrium too, making it even worse.

Right. They are going to rant about it on national television and accuse them of bullying while bullying them back.
