I'm 5'11" and 200lbs... And I feel like shit. I can't imagine how this guy feels. Why does he even want to keep living?

[QUOTE=Impact1986;47569713]He can't eat anymore pizzas if he is dead. The food keeps him from killing himself, so it can kill him instead.[/QUOTE] Pizzas are so good, though.
[QUOTE=Mr Anonymous;47569731]This thread is filled to the brim with fucking idiots. Must have some serious IRL problems to have to post petty comments about some dude who you know nothing about. Good job! [B][I][U]Rate dumb to agree <3[/U][/I][/B][/QUOTE] This is the internet. Check your feelings at the door. Honestly, we should have expected this kind of thing to happen. It always does. We've learned that we can never trust Facepunch to be a happy, friendly place.
[QUOTE=mcgrath618;47563995]Fried food confirmed healthy time to go get fried bacon[/QUOTE] As long as you have a lower calorie intake then you burn. You could diet on everything. Including butter, pizza's or any fried food. It won't be healthy but you'll lose weight.
but how does he pee? the article just doesn't say
[QUOTE=BazzBerry;47569991]but how does he pee? the article just doesn't say[/QUOTE] Probably just pees/shits himself. Toilet would break.
[QUOTE=Whiplash~;47567921]He's totally fucked. Even if he lost all that weight, he'd have so much excess skin that he'd still look like an alien.[/QUOTE] I imagine if he had the option to easily lose the weight, he'd take the excess skin. I can't imagine he's happy like that. The trouble is, the larger you get, the harder it is to lose weight. I'm sure he'd be able to lose some, but considering how much he weighs it's unlikely that it would make much of a difference. [editline]21st April 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=BazzBerry;47569991]but how does he pee? the article just doesn't say[/QUOTE] Maybe a catheter or something? He's evidently mobile enough to be able to change clothing.
Seeing how fat this fellow has become have motivated me to give it my all to lose some weight. It won't be easy, but I will try as hard as I can.
There's a guy I work with that reminds me of this guy featured in the OP. The colleague of mine is too large to get in a car, that when he's picked up after work, the person has to reverse out of the parking space so he can fit in the car. He can't fit in between two cars in a parking lot. I really don't get how people can get to be that huge.
[QUOTE=Starlight 456;47564304]Probably a mix, then. Nobody can feasibly get that huge by simple bad food choices.[/QUOTE] At what point does the sum of the parts stop equaling the whole

[QUOTE=catbarf;47568886]That's kind of my point- prices vary depending on where you live, so in your situation I could see someone turning to fast food for cheap calories. In your case, I'd look towards supplementing low-cost cuts of meat (whole chickens are great) with vegetables and beans. I live a minimal-carbohydrate diet myself and there are a lot more options than meat. Even if you have to go a bit further to get it, it'll probably pay for itself over Trader Joe's stuff. [B]By the way, where are you in Philly? I used to live in the suburbs just north of the city and the biggest competitor to Trader Joe's for us was a local grocery store. Farmer's markets too were a good source of produce.[/B] .[/QUOTE] University City, so I don't have anything available besides public transport to get groceries. I should probably go to Reading Terminal Market and see whats available there, (though it seems to be mostly already prepared stuff). I've definitely turned to Wendys at times, just order a two burgers without buns and bam, low carb, 1000 calorie meal right there. But I don't think you can get fat if you do that and don't drink soda/carbs. Somewhat anecdotal source: [url]http://live.smashthefat.com/why-i-didnt-get-fat/[/url] Guy eats 5,000 calories a day for 3 weeks, gains 2 pounds. If you ate 5,000 calories a day of heavy carb food, you'd gain way more than 2 pounds. [editline]21st April 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=RVFHarrier;47568736][B]You can lose weight eating carbs. A calorie is a calorie,[/B] whether it comes from meat, bread, pasta, chocolate or McDonalds. The body doesn't care. If you're not losing weight, then you need to look at how many calories you're eating. Also, I don't know about your area, but I would assume vegetables are cheap everywhere. Vegetables are the kings of low calorie density.[/QUOTE] Technically true. However, for me, carbs are pretty addicting and not sating, which is not a recipe for long term maintainable weight loss, given that its a diet I have to maintain daily. Its much simpler for me to just stop eating all carbs, go through three or four days of carb withdrawal, and then stick to protein and fats on auto-pilot. The other benefit is that I can eat 1 or 2 large meals a day and be full until the next day, so I spend less time cooking and cleaning. [editline]21st April 2015[/editline] As for the too poor to eat healthy, I can totally see it. I spend $15-20~ a day on food. I went to Virginia a while back, and we ended up going to a pizza place in Hampton. They had an all you can eat pizza buffet, with all you can eat salad bar, free drink refills for $6 flat. It is damn hard to compete with that when you're poor, and working multiple jobs. Sure you might be able to get close in costs of ingredients, but when you come home from your second shift, the last thing you want to do is spend an hour cooking, cleaning, and finding time to plan meals and go shopping for groceries.
[QUOTE=Mr Anonymous;47569787]Further to that, I'm not bothered about the way 'Facepunch' works but more so the people who say an obese person is wrong and mentally ill when they themselves are calling all sorts of hate at a random stranger while being hidden behind a screen - that screams mental instability and to those in the spotlight you might want to quietly check yourself into some counselling sessions.[/QUOTE]w-what...what a l-lard-ass oh god im unstable somebody stop meeeeeeeeee, i cant hold myself back much longerrrrrrr fahfjahjkfhajkldfhakjlhl

Tons and tons of stuff there. [QUOTE=Kybalt;47570929]Somewhat anecdotal source: [url]http://live.smashthefat.com/why-i-didnt-get-fat/[/url] Guy eats 5,000 calories a day for 3 weeks, gains 2 pounds. If you ate 5,000 calories a day of heavy carb food, you'd gain way more than 2 pounds.[/QUOTE] There are a lot of anecdotes like that, but every controlled study has said the same thing- weight loss is entirely a matter of consuming fewer calories than you expend. Nothing more to it, just basic thermodynamics. It gets complicated when you need to maintain a healthy diet (and need to manage vitamin intake), want to not feel like you're hungry all the time (so prioritize protein and fat over carbohydrates), or want to gain muscle while losing fat (requiring exercise). You can lose weight easily if you eat nothing but rice and vitamin tablets and maintain a daily 500 calorie deficit, but you will hate yourself and be miserable, so people prefer to choose balanced diets that naturally keep them feeling comfortable while consuming fewer calories.
[QUOTE=OvB;47564105]I'm 147 pounds (5'3") and I feel miserable when I push 150 after a holiday or something. I can't imagine being morbidly obese. I'd probably opt for euthanasia/physican-assisted-suicide.[/QUOTE] Be lucky you're not me. I'm 5'5" and I weigh 137. Sounds good right? I got a damn beer gut. I've done a lot of exercise a day just to lose it, but it's still there. It looks awkward: Imagine a guy with thin arms, toned legs, and an oversized stomach. I'm all over the place.

Both of those things are only slightly digestible, so you actually take in fewer calories than what you would see if you ran them through a calorimeter. It's not usually enough to really matter, but there are some cases where it does. Celery, for instance, has a calorimeter reading of 25 calories per head, but it's entirely fiber, so it doesn't digest into calories your body can absorb. Lean proteins are similar, you can't break down all the protein into usable calories, but the ratios are lower. Carbohydrates, on the other hand? Easily digestible, short, unstable chains of sugars and starches. Totally digestible, so you absorb 100% of the calories you eat. Which is why you would end up gaining more if you ate 5000 calories of Twinkies a day vs 5000 calories of steak.
I like to look at it the other way, instead of being addicted to eating, mabye hes addicted to pumping iron and that's 1000 pounds of pure fucking swole.
[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;47563980]It has nothing to do with McDonalds specifically.

People who get this big eat upwards of over 4,000 calories a day.
Wow, looking at this thread makes me realize how lucky I am to have incredibly cheap food in my town. I spend about $8.20 a day on food, and that counts pizza, fast food, ice cream, and alcohol. If I cleaned up my diet and cooked more, I could get by on next to nothing around here.
