Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5616706 Gatorade is loaded with HFCS. Simple. Get off of your ass and move. Eat carbs for energy so you have the energy to move. bullshit. a lot of people have hidden food allergies, and the most common of those is wheat and corn. i quit eating wheat alone and lost 80 lbs within a year doing absolutely nothing else...no starving, i simply eliminated processed foods and wheat. HFCS is incredibly bad for the liver. the liver cannot process any other materials until the hfcs is processed, and it slows the liver down big time. which is why it also slows metabolism. do some fucking homework before you go spouting bullshit you know nothing about. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5616706 NEWS FLASH. 2 cups of pure fat(vegetable oil) went in to making that cake. Then you eat french fries. FAT. Baked potatoes are good for you until you cover them with cheese and sour cream(added fat). You do realize that vegetable oil is more foreign to our bodies than eating rocks, don't you? Vegetable oils only exist since the 50's-60's when the Fig Agra (and shills like you) started demonizing the fats humans have eaten since they appeared on this planet: animal fat. Bottom line: Grains, vegetable oils, legumes and refined sugar, in this order, are the culprits. Calories don't count at all, because obesity is about over-storing and inflammation, not about overeating. |

You're one lucky bastard with an abnormal metabolism who cannot store all this modern crap, and must burn it off (because you cannot store), and that's all. You've never been fat, and it's not because of your moral fucking superiority, it's because your metabolism is different, but you'll die just the same because eating that crap will eventually kill you one way or another. |

The vast Majority of people are not allergic to wheat. Humans have been eating wheat for hundreds of years without obesity epidemics. I'm glad you found your problem. But seriously your problem is probably 1 in 10,000. You didn't have people getting fat from wheat in the 70's 60's 50's 40's 30's 20's. So it's probably not the reason for the epidemic. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1364026 United States 04/17/2012 10:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Low carb diets do work, and quite well I might add. True if you don't change eating habbits when done and continue to stuff your face with cabr laden goodies, then yes the fat will come back. Quoting: dogpoet The science behind low carb is just that scientific fat. Restricting the carb intake, which your body is used to digesting and eating protein and fats, pulls a fast one on the metabolism. The digestive system when it comes to digesting the proteins and fats determines it is too much effort to perform this function for energy, so it then uses stored fat for current energy needs. The proteins and fats are then duked out. Personally I like the diet because it is also refered to as 'the drinkers diet', I don't have to give up my prefered method of decompression. Atkins. The low carb king. Was obese when he died. 260 pounds. OBESE. OBESE OBESE. ANd you will too. Low carb diets are horse fucking shit. yes.. this lie has been debunked concerning atkins. What lie? He was 260 pound when he died. Don't get me started by saying me magically gained 70 pounds of water after he died because of the bloating. wow coz see that's exactly what happened what is your hidden agenda that you are so emotional and provoked towards lies |

Quoting: fleshette 100% this It's really gross when I see families and their little piggy kids order freaking HUMUNGUS plates, appetizers, main meals AND dessert and shovel it all down in one sitting.. and they're disgustingly overweight. One time I went to a restaurant with my family and of of the ENTIRE establishment we were the only ones that weren't hideously overweight. It was really uncomfortable. We had to split out orders because of the sheer volume of food. It's all about portion control. You can eat carbs, sweets, etc as long as it's in moderation (and you don't lead a totally sedentary lifestyle) |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 7485004 Belgium 04/17/2012 10:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 1) number one factor in being thin is not storing intake food as fat This can be done by 2) burning it by doing exercise 3) not taking as much in 4) avoiding to eat things that can store as fat Low-carb diet people burn fat for calories, not sugar, that's why they stay thin. The only "problem" I have found with low-carb is that it makes you loose your hair, so you have to take zinc supplements. That, and you need to drink a lot of water because your kidneys will be working harder. The OP's remark about the japanese doesn't make much sense, they tend to exercise a lot, and they're genetically less prone to store fat. Genes do play a role, the Maori, the hawaiians and all those island folk, having survived thousands of years on nothing but coconut and the occasional fish, now get fatter than ever before. The opposite is true for the Japanese. Wanna lead a healthy life? Start your day with a good breakfast, do some exercise, like bike to work or a 30-minute workout. Eat a healthy luch filled with vitamins. Have 2 fruit snacks. Do some exercise when or after coming home. Have a decent dinner, don't eat the same stuff everyday. Be outside as much as possible for your lifestyle. Keep a regular sleep pattern. |

WRONG. back then, they had no idea about this anyways. also, most other cultures hundreds of years ago were relying on & evolving through what was available in their region. and clearly you do not keep up with health and nutrition news...a MAJORITY of people have food allergies. wheat and many other 'staples' are overconsumed, and the body builds defense mechanisms which manifest as inflammation, low immunity, etc. (weight gain) [link to www.shokos.com] i could post links all day, there is overwhelming research and science supporting this. "The dangers of Wheat: Health killer no.4 Wheat. Surprised? Todays hy-bread wheat is a far cry nutritionally from its ancient ancestor. Todays wheat is selectively bred for a high yield crop with a high wheat sugar content (gluten). The gluten in wheat forms a paste in the intestines preventing the proper absorption of nutrients. Wheat has been linked in numerous human studies to have a direct correlation on mental health including depression and anxiety. There are plenty of ancient grains to choose from to take the place of wheat. Brown rice, wild rice, kamut, millet, oats just to name a few. A word of caution however, grain storage in America (even organic grain storage) is overseen by the government and is based on the number of bug body parts per kilo of grain if you think they use a lot of pesticide when they are growing it you should see how much they use to control the product in storage. Even organic grains are bug treated with "natural pesticides" that can kill you. Wash all of your raw grain products thoroughly. Sprouting your own grains is the best and safest source." |

I prefer hard numbers. I've been reading studies over low carbs, saturated fat, cholesterol, etc forever. Again, just saying "low carbs" means nothing. If you want to "cure" diabetes type 2 assuming it's not too late, hit low carbs. However what is exactly low carbs diet? That is where everybody get confused. It could be anything. When I recommend a low carb diet, I am much more specific over what it consist of. Here is one example - [link to wholehealthsource.blogspot.com] What the fuck are you talking about? All I advocated was for balanced, healthy eating, including carbs. Exercise is the most important for good metabolism and weight management. You sound like you are just looking to argue.

Firstly, Gatorade contains ONLY dextrose which is chemically pure sugar, not HFCS. Secondly, HFCS is not used in softdrink such as coke or pepsi made outside the US ( they save it mostly for us here in the US). I just traveled around SE asia for several months and I can attest that asians and indians that eat more carbs and processed sugar are fat, they can metabolize well earlier in their lives but as they reach 45-55 they pack on considerable belly fat. Their bodies are adapted to eat less protein as is, westerners on the same rice diet with low protein develop a multitude of mineral and vitamin deficiencies( meaning people of the west have adapted to eatting more protein and conversely have co-developed skeletons to carry the extra muscle mass produced.
