How do you explain people who eat anything they want including lots of carbs and sugar and stay skinny?
I've lost weight without ever stopping carbs and sugar because I just can't see myself doing it; I have a bmi of 18 and eat whatever I want, just small portions and practically never go above 1200-1500 calories a day - not because I'm counting calories but because at this point I physically can't eat more, I feel sick if I overeat. It may not be the healthiest way, as I know it would be better to cut out some carbs and eat more protein (I also have digestive issues and I find meat and rough fiber like veggies difficult to handle, while refined carbs are much easier and soothing to digest), but for weight purposes it doesn't make a difference unless you have blood sugar issues.
They don't after 35 as a general rule. In any case, everyone needs to learn nutritional realities. Not what we want to be true, but what is true.
So do not try to tell us there is no increase in obesity.
Even a trip to Walmart will tell you it's not true. Just look around.
I AM telling YOU what he DATA says from Dr. Jeffrey Friedman in his lecture. Since 1990 we ARE ONLY 7 POUNDS HEAVIER- AND THE DIFFERENCE IS ONLY SEEN AMONG THE HEAVIEST PEOPLE. EDUCATE YOURSELF.
THE MEDIA NUMBERS ARE SKEWED AND A FALSE REPRESENTATION.

So hospitals do not need the bigger wheelchairs, beds, and operating tables? Considering the expense, I am sure they will be happy to know that.
Gee, guy, I can look around me and see many more overweight, obese, and morbidly obese people on the street than I saw twenty years ago. The statistics support that.
In science BOTH theories AND laws could be shown to be wrong at some time if there are data to suggest it.
Commercial diet gurus do NOT realize that in General Relativity energy is NOT conserved. This has been known since the 1920's.
In OUR EXPANDING UNIVERSE ( ridiculous speed of expansion) , energy is NOT conserved.
Nobody should bring up the first law of thermodynamics in an obesity discussion. ONLY the scamming commercial diet industry gurus do this to SOUND scientific and make you buy their product. NUMEROUS physicists told me this.
As we learn more about DARK ENERGY this will ILLUMINATE our understanding. The first law may ONLY be a SPECIAL CASE, APPLYING ONLY UNDER SPEFICIFIC CONDITIONS AND NOT OTHERS. WE'VE REASON TO SUSPECT THIS.
It is possible that it MAY be discarded eventually .
MUCH REMAINS TO BE LEARNED ABOUT ENERGY AND MATTER. WE CURRENTLY DO NOT EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT 96% OF THE UNIVERSE IS MADE OF. ( Dark Energy and Dark Matter)

YOu IGNORE DATA. YOU are a POOR scientists. HEIGHT HAS INCREASED A BIT TOO.
SCIENCE MOVES ON.
ENERGY IS NOT CONSERVED. Dr Sean Carrol - REAL PHYSICIST, not a diet guru READ IT.

THE DATA - DETAILED DATA-SAYS OTHERWEISE. Dr. Katherine Fleagal, Dr Jeffrey Friedman
OBESITY IS NOT A PERSON'S FAULT. SCIENCE HAS SHOWN THIS. IT IS A DISREGULATION OF THE FAT MASS REGULATORY SYSTEM.
So what about people who lose weight and keep it off? I was an overweight kid. Now I am at a normal weight. I refuse to believe that overweight people have no responsibility in this.
There are many obese poeple with healthful behaviors and very active with a good diety. This has not at all solved their obesity. I see active obese people all the time. Didn't help.
I travel extensively. Exercise is a MYTH for weight loss. It does next to nothing in studies. But it is good for health.
Long term maintenance is extremely rare - 1 %. This population might have different NEURAL CIRCUITRY WIRING says Dr Jeffrey Friedman
Rick has yet to show us where any of the scientists he quotes tell us that an individual who eats less and moves more will not lose weight. He ignores the many people who do lose weight and keep it off.
I gained a few pounds over the holidays. I've cut back on the intake, and you know what? I lost weight.
What Rick's studies have shown us is the reasons that some people have more difficulty losing weight and keeping it off. That is important for the people who treat obesity to know.
But Rick will have a very hard time convincing us in the U. S. that there are not significantly more obese people in this country than there were twenty years ago.
Encouraging people who are overweight to lose the excess poundage is not discrimination. Telling them that losing weight is impossible and to not bother to even try is not helpful. There are folks whose lives depend on losing weight.
Exercise does promote weight loss. Most people are not able (or willing) to devote the time necessary to lose weight just with exercise. The best weight control program will combine both. Men and people who are heavier will see a greater reduction with exercise than women and people who are not as overweight. It has to do with the percentage of muscle in the body and the physics of the amount of energy needed to move a specific mass a specific speed and distance. If exercise had no effect on weight, Michael Phelps would be fat. Rick wants to suspend the laws of physics. Good luck with that!
