There are a lot of reasons a person may be overweight, and being a big eater or eating all the "wrong stuff" isn't always the reason. There are many health reasons, for low metabolism and many issues that complicate exercise which the lack of can also cause low metabolism. There are many young athletic people with perfect body mass, who have died of sudden cardiac arrest. Cholesterol in the blood may be very high, even when a person is at a "normal" weight. Your big friend may actually be healthier than you and he may have had the salad to make up for the fact that he had a McDonald's lunch, and may not have been trying to hide it at all. :smt017
Ok this isnt true. The Guantanamo Prisoners are getting obese. If you map the proliferation of MSG usage and the increase of the super obese you will see the correlation. MSG is what they use in the lab to make mice obese. (And it has been chemically altered from the natural source MSG derived from plants naturally). MSG and excitotoxins cause obesity that cannot be dieted away because it does not depend on your food intake. Sorry if I come off as preaching, but due to my health and medications I have taken for years, I have read an aweful lot about nutrition. Some times it is hard to read misinformation and not speak up.
Gitmo prisoners are not really POWs...or typical POWs, ok for an extreme example how many obese concentration camp victims have you seen???....I am not a nutritionist or dietician, but I am a physician so I know about physics/chemistry/metabolism...and I believe it is against the laws of physics to ingest fewer calories then you expand, otherwise you would be answer for the world energy crises...as you would then be a source of perpetual energy...thus in order to gain weight or maintain a heavy weight you surely need to ingest a certain number of calories in relation to your expenditure...regardless of your MSG/cholesterol/salt/etc. intake....
So why is a physician watching someone eat salad and then peeking into their cars? LOL And Guantanamo prisoners are POWs. Like it or not. They are getting obese on our toxic chemically altered foods.
what you just posted about Dr. Olney's data is missing alot of information. No where in there does it explains how these excitotoxins produces obesity...all it says is that if you take MSG it may cause alterations in the central endocrine control system...that is not saying anything...I dont know if you know but the hypothalamus controls hunger as well, theses alterations may just cause a person to be more hungry leading to increase food ingestion...you did not include all the data...regardless, if you are burning more calories then you are ingesting you are going to lose weight
haha...you are silly...there is no need to peek, we know each others cars we share the same small private parking lot...the bag is in plain view
