I do this as well. Works great. My additional rules are, eat vitamins daily, no eating after 9:00, don't absolutely stuff myself at dinner and drink pretty much water during the day. My company did a biggest loser competition. It motivated me to not cheat. I lost 27 pounds and won $350 for first place. So far I used my winnings to buy an arcade machine (Tempest converted to Time Soldiers), a 3DS XL, a bunch of video games and the first deposit in my table saw fund.  8)

That's just a foolish idea.  Fruits and vegetables have been a large part of the human diet for thousands of years.  I will not accept the notion that all of a sudden, in this fast food driven generation, it's the real food that is the problem.  Obesity was never a problem until recently.  Fast food didn't exist until recently.  This is not a coincedence.


This generation mostly sits all day.  Every prior generation did mostly physical labor of one sort or another.  The calorie burn of every person now is completely different and yet portions continue to get bigger and food continues to come more processed and with more fat/salt.  Make people work less and have them eat more and you end up with fat people.


Why is that so hard to accept?

That's not hard to accept and I agree with you.

Fruits and vegetables are not causing people to be overweight, that is absurd.  First off, once again, vegetables are strongly encouraged on the ketosis diet.  Vegetables are good, even on the Atkins diet.  Second, the reason fruits and some vegetables are bad on the ketosis diet is not because they are bad to eat in general, but because they will take your body out of ketosis and therefore ruin the diet.
I'm on a fairly normal reduced calorie diet and I eat all sorts of fruits.

Fruits are a no-no, but vegetables are a highly encouraged in the diet, you just can't eat the high carb vegetables.

I just don't trust diets like these for long term results.  Fruit is awesome - I eat a ton of it every single day and I'm in pretty great shape.  When I dropped some weight a few years ago I ate a ton of fruit every single day.  My secret: I exercise like a mofo.

And there you have it:  "I exercise like a mofo."  You can eat pretty much what you want if you work out every day (resting upper and cardio alternatively) which is something I aspire to.  Well actually is the real key to any weight loss. 

I think it is the best and honest answer so far.

Kudos!  :applaud:

--- Quote ---You did have the authority to not sell it to her, you chose to sell it. I think the"argument" is about apathy not ignorance. I digress. You never read what other people post and try to see it from their side. I completely understand you didn't want to lose your job over some fat ---smurfing--- kid going to moo town on the treats you were slinging, but to say you didn't have a choice is a fallacy. It may have been a choice you couldn't afford to make financially and if you refused to sell the item they would have gotten it from someone or somewhere else but the choice *could* have been made.  And please don't take that as "Malenko is better than you" cause I would have sold that kid the treat too, hell I would have asked the mom if she wanted another one to go. Difference is I wouldn't post about it on BYOAChad.

 And so now its semantics?   You really dont know how to drop your anger and hate.   You should look into meditation.

 As for the Reason I posted it.. was to prove a point.   That many overweight people, are overweight because of stupid choices... such as the example I listed.


 Im also with Chad on this.  If your body is going into some kind of super-crisis mode... due to you starving it of the correct nutrients... eventually its probably going to destroy itself.   Maybe taking off 30 yrs off your lifespan, and destroying your quality of life.

 I also distrust media 'studies'...  Many of which are paid for, by the very people who created the problems... and are tainted, riddled with holes, and false data.


 There is always a price to pay for ignorant recklessness.


 Common Sense is the key.
 Sadly, many people are severely lacking in that department.
