(before realising i have next to no understanding of the condition so it might be a genuine thing that i'm being crass and insensitive about but still, funny.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, these obese c***s, eh? Bunch of wallopers. Grr. Just get VT to head round your way and give you some abuse every morning, the rest will fall off you.

Don’t stay at home and sit on the couch all day long and, when you are full, stop eating. I wonder if anyone has ever forwarded this advice to the general public? Sounds like it would solve all our problems. 27 minutes ago, Todd_is_God said: Articles like this, which come across as trying to excuse / normalise being absolutely enormous, are unlikely to help. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10024793/Tess-Holliday-cools-ice-lolly-enjoying-day-Disneyland.html It's the Daily Mail, of course it's unlikely to be helpful.

Pretty sure I'd need to lose muscle mass too in order to hit the middle of the "healthy" weight range. Guess I'll find out. I'd say that's almost certainly wrong. If your body fat gets down below 15% but your still not below 24 you'll be in great shape.

Erm, it quite clearly is. Colour me shocked though that once again the losers in the public health brigade want to target the poor with regressive restrictions on consumption, instead of encouraging healthy behaviour through outcomes instead. There is a fairly objective measurement of obesity. It's time that this was used as the basis of a fat tax/'health credit' rather than trying to keep cakes behind a hidden counter or whatever these gimps will think of next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I don't have a "problem" with it. I'm simply chuckling at the idea that anyone could normalise a high fat, high sugar meal containing almost no nutrients by pretending it qualifies as a "meal". Today I'm having some cold meat with a splash of mayo. On another day I might have a freshly cooked lamb chop with some veg. If I'm going to have a sandwich, I definitely prefer to make one from scratch at home. On a personal note, I don't drink fizzy drinks now at all and I can't remember the last time I ever ate something like crisps - been many years. There's no getting away from the fact that those foodstuffs are pretty shite for you and certainly contribute to obesity. Banning them though? That's a problem because I hate seeing control freakery at the best of times. Unfortunately our nation of fatties is literally crushing our health service and if people won't take some personal responsibility for protecting it by simply looking after themselves then it gives those control freaks an open goal to interfere in our lives and IMO that is not necessarily a good thing at all.A "splash of mayo"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aufc Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 In a way, I tend to agree with what your man is saying. The sandwiches from the shops can sometimes be about 500-600 calories. Add in a packet of crisps and a can of fizzy juice and it is not overly nutritious. That’s about 800 calories for your lunch. Obviously fine if you are doing it once in a blue moon as you are rushing for time. However, doing that every day is not overly healthy. Although this would need to looked at in the wider context of the persons lifestyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
