What are your views on the growing number of obese adults in the world especially North America?

Or just adult obesity in general.

I've always been a pretty big guy. My father is a big man, so most of my heft comes from genetics.

That's not to say I can't drop a few tons. However, if I were to drop below, say, 230lbs, I'd look sick. My frame can easily carry 250-260 and look good.

I've lost 30lbs since July and I feel better than I have in years. Just watching what I eat a little closer, limiting portions, and exercising a bit more.

It's a problem that needs attention. The physical side of it is important (gotta look good to get the ladies...heh), but the important part is being healthier so you avoid things such as heart problems, hypertension, and diabetes later in life.

More Money to spend=More spent of food=More food eaten=Higher weigth.
Theres a difference between being overweight and being obese. Bieng overweight isnt really as bad as it sounds, because someone who is 6'4 is suppose to weigh aout 180 lbs. And if you ever knew a guy who is 6'4 that figure is B.S.

Oh oh, I'm 6'4 210 lbs. Your equation is almost right, but you left out a couple factors. More junk food eaten + less physical exersice = Higher weight.

What make me sick is at some store they have electric carts with baskets for physically handicapped people, but I never see a handicapped peson in one, what I do see is some grossly obese women or men driving around in them because it too much work to walk with all that weight.

People at my college use those airport bags with wheels and the long handle to carry their books around. I mean, how much lazier can you get?

Genetics is 70% responsible for the way you are. But that doesn't mean people can't exercise and live a healthy life.

If they wanna get fat, fine by me. Their gonna die sooner than me. And i'm not gonna feel sorry for them. I don't know if I would go as far as to call it a disease though. I think Laziness and people mixed are a disease. Not obesity.

Bah. Stop stuffing your big fat faces with high-fat, high-carb meals and you
might be able to see your penis one day. Seriously folks, it's not very hard:
just eat high to mid protein, mid carb and lowsaturated fat meals and train
3 nights a week. I'm 5"11, 185lbs of muscle so I know a thing or two about
nutrition...

Want to lose fat ?

1- Lots of small meals (6 throughout the day)
2- High protein intake
3- Low SATURATED fat intake
4- Make sure you don't meet your daily caloric need
5- TRAIN! PLAY A SPORT! FUCK! DO SOMETHING!

there is also a great difference between being fat and overweight.
probably every weightlifter/football player/whatever is overweight, you must remember muscle is heavier than fat.

According to some health charts, I'm NOT in my "target zone" but you better
take a good look at me: I'm NOWHERE NEAR fat. My name is muscle, PURE
muscle. I hope this is what you meant, otherwise, what the hell was it that u
were trying to say !?! eek:

Sure, I like fat people, I mean, if you're ever stranded in Siberia and you have nothing to eat fat people can save your life!
