A legit reason for America being fat (besides fast food and laziness)? - Polidicks

I've got a healthy weight for my size, I'm 5'7" and around 140 depending on when I last took a dump. I still eat constantly.

[QUOTE=FHamster;23528950]Just exercise You don't even have to care what you eat.[/QUOTE] Dumb. I do cardio on weekdays but I still maintain a bit of stomach fat. Why? Because my diet is shit. Which coincidentally I've just started eating only healthy foods-diet a few days ago. [editline]04:16AM[/editline] [QUOTE=MR-X;23529422] You can exercise all you want, but it is pointless if you don't diet correctly and don't get the correct amount of nutrients and vitamins. Plus if you take in more then you can burn you're going to get weight gain.[/QUOTE] This motherfuckers this

anyone 6' and over who isn't around 200 is a skinny fuck. :/ I'm 6'5 and 270... Oh how much damage WoW did to me the first two years of High school

I'm not much of a food expert but wasn't all food organic to begin with meaning that organic food label should be named differently?

[QUOTE=FHamster;23528950]Just exercise You don't even have to care what you eat.[/QUOTE] Eating healthy is actually more important than exercise. Lifting weights for a couple hours and "working up an appetite" and having a couple double cheeseburgers isn't a good thing. If you just want to be slim, but not muscular. All you need to do is limit what you eat, and how much you eat. Some exercise is always good, but just going for a walk for 30-60 minutes a day is good enough. You don't need to jog 3 miles or benchpress 300lbs.

I guarantee, unless you have some disorder, if you jog and eat KFC every day; you won't get fat.

[QUOTE=Chopstick;23531008]I'm not much of a food expert but wasn't all food organic to begin with meaning that organic food label should be named differently?[/QUOTE] "Non-organic" is a food grown with the help of pesticides and heavy fertilizers. Organic food is grown with out any of that, completely natural.

[QUOTE=Panda X;23529075]Foods can be addictive. Some people just don't moderate themselves.[/QUOTE] Myself included. I'm starting a "diet" which consists entirely of just putting my fork down when I'm no longer hungry as opposed to eating until I'm full.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;23531140]"Non-organic" is a food grown with the help of pesticides and heavy fertilizers.

Also, 5'5" and 135 pounds.

[QUOTE=Detective P;23530172]See, I moderate myself, I watch what I eat, I avoid fatty foods, limit junk. I'm 208 pounds (down from like 220, though, making progress). And now my cousin eats shit all the time. He leads a lifestyle that's not much more active than me, and literally downs 4 cans of Monster, poptarts, pizza rolls, two cans or soup, enough gummies to feed Somalia and fucking pop enough to fill Lake Superior. He always has. He's underweight. And while I sit here and try hard to lose weight, to do some exercise, to change my diet and live more actively, he can sit around and down all the chocolate milk he wants and be a relatively healthy weight. And that, comrades, is bullshit.[/QUOTE] No, that's genetics. I actually down a liter of reduced salt chocolate milk after every workout, because it's still got enough protein and all that other magical shit that makes milk so amazing without tasting like complete ass. I workout three times a week, cardio inbetween days. I'm on no diet, but I'm still not stupid about what I eat. I know what to avoid, as anyone would were they properly informed, and simply avoid it. When I get hungry I don't pick up the Doritos, but a simple sandwich (Whole wheat and watch for salt) or crackers and cheese is more than enough. 5'7" and 125lbs., turn twenty in two weeks. Just working out is still a huge difference. Eating differently doesn't solve anything if you just end up compensating your calorie intake with something else without trying to burn any amount of it away.

6' 190 lbs I'm pretty fat, but I have friends who are much fatter and weigh less.

[QUOTE=TheBatman;23531852]They sure used the wrong word to describe that. They should just say pesticide/fertilizer free or something. Also, 5'5" and 135 pounds.[/QUOTE] I think "naturally grown" is the best description, but as thisispain pointed out, it's mostly for advertising. Though, when you do buy organic, there's a higher chance that you're supporting local (and usually small) farms around the area you bought it in, as only the larger corporate farms can really afford to use all those pesticides and fertilizers and additives on their product.

Admit it america, you're all fat.

[QUOTE=JDER14;23529001]I envy you Scopious. But food is just too good to resist.[/QUOTE] I'm underweight and eat 5 meals a day. :smug:

[QUOTE=bravehat;23539390]I'm underweight and eat 5 meals a day. :smug:[/QUOTE] Eating five smaller meals throughout the day is healthier than eating three in the first place. [editline]01:54PM[/editline] eating eggs wheat toast and spinach right now because popeye eats spinach and it makes him strong maybe ill get strong????

No dude it ain't smaller meals, it's a piled plate. And yeah spinach is really good for you, lot's of iron and shit for veg at least.

I'm the same way in no matter how much I eat I won't get actually fat, but I'm just working on becoming even more slim right now

[QUOTE=Perfumly;23539467]Eating five smaller meals throughout the day is healthier than eating three in the first place.[/QUOTE] I don't really think it makes a difference, unless it's to mitigate the sugar spikes between meals.

Nah it does, eating smaller portions more frequently does have an effect, can't remember why though. Fucking sucks always being hungry, I go through tons of cash getting food at uni :sigh:

Ive got a friend who is regularly working out for about 2 years already, but whenever I see him he eats the fattiest nastiest food thats in the area, and he usually eats TONS. He still has a muscular and really impressing body, genetics i guess.

Fucking Brits and Americans in this thread with your shitty feet, pounds, stones what the fuck not. Why not use measurements that EVERYONE understand?

Local farmers use pesticides and fertilizers to get more crop yield per acre so they can squeeze the most money off of their small land. Many large farms can afford to go organic while most local farmers use pesticides.

I eat a shitload, and I'm heavy for my age (17 years - 79 kg) and yet, I'm as thin as a fucking twig. I'm dense - in the literal meaning of the word.

313 .lbs I'm a fatty :saddowns:. [sp]Though I was 340 two Months ago.[/sp]

I'm 6'0 and I weigh 128 pounds. We're not all fat. And honestly, I think most people are starting to lose weight. At least where I live they are.

[QUOTE=Reactors;23541413]I'm 6'0 and I weigh 128 pounds. We're not all fat. And honestly, I think most people are starting to lose weight. At least where I live they are.[/QUOTE] See a doctor jesus christ. I'm 6'0 and 165 and fairly skinny

I have this weird issue where I don't really look fat by any standard whatsoever, but I weight more than I expect. I'm apparently very dense.

5"10, 118 Lb. :smug:
