Largely it is because of the calorie intake of a migrating mammal and the lifestyle of a sedentary mammal.
These two do not mix safely.

Hahaha, you guys are hilarious. My point is invalid, huh?TheNecroswanson said:Either way your point is invalid. Starving yourself causes a sort of muscular dystrophy. You can't cut to "bare minimums" because then your body will freak out, hold all it's fat for as long as possible, and burn up your muscle first.Railu said:lol, I love how you keep taking everything out of context. Are we talking about heroin now? I thought we were talking about overeating.Cheeze_Pavilion said:There's a "bare minimum" of heroin? You know a lot of people who were heroin addicts that have been able to reduce their use to a "bare minimum"?Railu said:You can live for 3 weeks without food. Some people can fast for longer than that.Cheeze_Pavilion said:If you quit food, you will die.Railu said:Drug addicts turn to drugs to ease their pain, overweight people turn to food. Heroin addicts can quit and so can you.
Why is it that the people who complain about fat people seem to always be so cruel and dumb?
Cut back to the bare minimum, wow, what a concept.
It reminds me of a layman's analogy I tried to make about how RAM improves the performance of a computer. I described it as how if you're moving out of your house, if you have one person to move the data and they can only carry a single box, it will take many trips. But if you have more, you don't need to make as many to get everything out of your house. Then he interrupted me and said 'but if you have too many people they will start bumping into each other and nothing will get done!' I wanted to say to him 'Then you better not get too much or your data will start bumping into each other!'
Later I learned that people responded better to the 4-lane versus 2-lane highway, but even some people got mad because apparently that's bad for the environment. You just can't fix stupid.
My point is, there is no reason in debating the analogy, you debate the topic at hand.
Hell, you'll die of starvation before you even begin burning fat.
Learn what you're talking about.
What is a stone?JDviewer said:When I was 18 I spent most of my time studying to get the grades to get into university. I didn't do any exercise at the time, and with three square meals a day and snacks I ended up becoming obese.
It was only when in university did I think about my own health and changed my diet and began exercising properly. Two years later and I've lost over two stone, and am hoping to lose at least another stone. Changing my lifestyle allowed me to become alot thinner and healthier.
I do believe that some people are more likely to become obese than others but also that their lifestyle is a major factor. People can bring it onto themselves with no-one else to blame but themselves.
Develops in the kidneys due to dehydration or high soda intake.apmpnmdslkbk said:What is a stone?JDviewer said:When I was 18 I spent most of my time studying to get the grades to get into university.

Oh and congrats on the weight loss.

Then, when we learn Telekinesis, we will be able to control our weight at will! Sweet!EmileeElectro said:I think it was something to do with your mind.
I would suggest you eat vegetarian food, it sounds like meat just doesn't satisfy you enough.Nintendostar said:Stuff
I would strangle small animals en masse for a big plate of japanese-style chicken curry.Booze Zombie said:I would suggest you eat vegetarian food, it sounds like meat just doesn't satisfy you enough.Nintendostar said:Stuff
Curry, perhaps?

You don't even know what my point is and you want to debate that mine is invalid? First this guy starts going off about my comment about heroin addicts, now you're talking about starving yourself? Wow, just wow. Who said starve yourself? Just you.
So apparently your only options are consume too many calories or nothing? Wow, you'd make a terrible consultant. I'm trying to advocate self-control and you're trying to advocate... I don't know what the hell you are advocating.
For someone who is trying to come off as a smart-ass, you're sure achieving the opposite.
Edit: Btw, no one has even asked my what the bare minimum is. You just assumed it meant eating less than is advisable. Your first mistake is you thought I had no idea what I'm talking about clearly because you are trying to argue points that are succinct.
Could this be why people think that your "Bare minimum" is starvation?You can live for 3 weeks without food. Some people can fast for longer than that.

Interesting you should mention this, for after I began my diet, losing a significant amount of weight I noticed that a vast quantity of food I once adored not only did not appeal to me however in many cases I came to dislike it entirely. I, for example cannot eat hot dogs whatsoever without feeling ill, bacon is unappealing and any form of candy/sweet must be limited other ill feeling once more.Railu said:I'm fairly thin, about 150 lbs. One of the biggest differences I've noticed between me and overweight people is that food doesn't give me pleasure. You ever hear of "comfort food"? Of course, because it's something you eat to feel better. I have no comfort food. Food doesn't make me feel anything but full.
But I do enjoy delicious meals, but I don't seek it out and when I am stressed, I eat less not more.
