Losing weight is expensive. Who the hell came up with that?

[reinis133]

To lose weight - eat less.
Less food costs less money.
Also fast food costs more than good foods.

[dominiquois]

You need to check your facts asap.
Some quick FACTS:
1. Walking, excersing is the only thing thats free that will get you to loose weight but if all you can afford is $1 fast/processed food you will loose little to nothing.
2. Eating less calories than you're supposed doesn't help you lose weight it will only put your body in starvation mode and make you store fat. On top of that when you decide to eat normally you will gain any weight you lost while starving plus more.
3. Fruits and vegetable cost way more than the McDonald's dollar menu. Fact.

Also, some people are not fat by choice. Some people are tubby by nature, some people are on weight gaining meds they need to take, some have hormone problems or rare genetic disorders. And people aren't fat they HAVE fat, some people are damn well pleased being fat. It doesn't make them less of a person.

The links on this article are legit so...www.cracked.com/.../

[reinis133]

Haha, such bullshit. What you wrote here is myths made up my fatties that don't have the willpower to eat less and exercise. :D
Grains and beans are a lot less expensive than mcdonalds and processed foods.
Starvation mode. LOL :D:D

[dominiquois]

Wow, I feel bad that you're genuinely this ignorant. Look it up for yourself.

[reinis133]

Look up what? I know everything about these stupid myths and what's the truth.

[dominiquois]

Prove they are myths or you are just a troll.

[Slavanna]

Dunno. I lost 20 pounds at one point simply by cooking my own food and walking to school instead of taking the bus. With some bodyweight exercises on the side; a friend who's quite a gym rat helped me get the form right.
It didn't feel like it cost a lot... I actually saved some on the fast food and bus tickets.
Now, it may be more expensive if you have 100 pounds to lose instead of 20, but it must've been pretty expensive to get to this point in the first place.

[Cryostatic]

Well, setting aside the fact that you're clearly trolling.

1. Eating less will help you shed some pounds, but it's not going to make you look sexy, and people want to look sexy. In order to do that, you have to weight train like a boss.
2. Fast food is cheaper than good food. There's no way you can make healthy food for what a couple of burgers off the dollar menu costs.

Anyway, the "weight loss" industry is big money. But do you know what they're ACTUALLY selling? It's hope. Nothing more than hope. Talk about a sham. The only legitimate weight loss businesses out there are gyms and purveyors of gym equipment.

[reinis133]

Haha, are you fat? :D

[dominiquois]

No, he's intelligent.

[Cryostatic]

Well, clearly. Why are you even asking?

[dominiquois]

He's asking because he wants to know before he can decide to date you.

[CasaNorba]

THE DAMN TRUTH

[reinis133]

I think I have to look up "intelligence" in the dictionary. I didn't know intelligent meant dumb.

[dominiquois]

Except intelligent doesn't mean dumb. Lmao. FAIL.

[Cryostatic]

Such rapier wit!

[dominiquois]

:D XD

[CasaNorba]

@dominiquois OFRL!

[dominiquois]

Lololol XD I know, its hard to believe people can actually be this intellectually deficient. Smh.

[CasaNorba]

to lose weight is not always to eat less.

its more like to eat less sugar, fat, and starchy carbs and eat more protein, good carbs, fruits, vegetable and dairy <---- and those are a lot more expensive than fast food. trust me

[reinis133]

Good carbs - no comment.
No one should trust you, ever.

[CasaNorba]

now i officially agree with Cryostatic down there. you really are trolling

[reinis133]

No, I'm just not a broscientist.

[dominiquois]

You're not a real scientist or a doctor at all I can assure you, you would be a joke. You couldn't have possibly even graduated from high school.

[reinis133]

I have an university degree. I'm less than 10% bodyfat, 1200lbs total after 1.5 years of lifting and my monthly food bill is ~$230.

[reinis133]

And I eat a lot of unnecessary treats, ice cream and such.

[CasaNorba]

@asker. not that i care but no proof no credibility

[Soapy234]

You're really ignorant fast food costs less then real food! You can't survive on just beans and grains, if you want to get fit you need protein which is probably the most expensive thing in the grocery store. Your body will go into shock if all you eat is grains and beans, you could get seriously sick. When you're done starving yourself and think that you're a good weight and go to eat regular food your body will store every single bit of fat because it doesn't want to starve again. You're going to end up with more weight then you originally had.

[MaskedSanity]

"You can't survive on just beans and grains"

Lol tell that to my poor-ass family. That's what we survived on for 10 years.

Not arguing against your points, just wanted to clear up that little misconception.

[Soapy234]

I honestly apologize if I offended you @MaskedSanity

[reinis133]

Beans and grains have enough protein. How do you think vegans survive and bodybuild?

[reinis133]

Beans, grains, vegetables and some fruit.

[Soapy234]

If you eat veggies and some fruit you should be good

[reinis133]

And vegetables are more expensive than fast food?

[Soapy234]

Yes defiantly.

[reinis133]

Could you provide some evidence?

[AdamThomas]

It costs loads of money because they have to fill their cars up with petrol to drive to the gym, then they have to pay for gym membership so that they can walk on the treadmills.

[AdamThomas]

Yep... But seriously, it's a dumb argument. When I was broke I was skinny as fuck because I couldn't afford to eat enough to put on weight, even if I was eating shit.

[dominiquois]

Because your body type works that way, you are probably an ectomorph.

[reinis133]

Somatotypes... Is there any myth you don't buy into?

[CommieDearest]

Please read up on food deserts, and the types of foods that are subsidized. You don't eat LESS food, you eat healthier food...and that shit is expensive.

[reinis133]

Grains and beans are expensive?

[dominiquois]

You can't survive off grains and beans. It's not healthy.

[CommieDearest]

When I changed my diet to lose weight my grocery bill went up considerably, and yes, I did stop eating out.

[reinis133]

That's because you don't know how to plan your budget. That's totally just your fault.

[dominiquois]

No, you're just blind to food prices obviously.

[CommieDearest]

Lol alright

[dominiquois]

Yep, all right indeed.

[Mesonfielde]

Losing weight has more to do with physical activity and drinking more than it does with eating less.

[reinis133]

physical activity - yes
drinking more - wtf?

[Mesonfielde]

Yeah. If you don't drink enough water, then your metabolism will slow down.

[reinis133]

WTF?

[Mesonfielde]

"A report from the University of Utah College of Medicine showed that people who drank eight to 12 glasses of water every day burned calories faster than people who drank less water. Carry a bottle around with you so you don’t forget to sip throughout the day."

[reinis133]

The most logical answer to this is that the people who drank more were more active so they wanted to drink more. Simple as that.

[Mesonfielde]

...no, you really do need water for your digestion and metabolism to work properly.

[reinis133]

You need water to survive.
Drinking more water and eating the same won't change anything.

[Mesonfielde]

Doesn't change the fact that if you don't drink enough, your metabolism will slow down, and you'll gain weight.

[reinis133]

Water is cheap, so it doesn't matter.

[Mesonfielde]

Yes, but some people still don't drink enough. Even I'm guilty of sometimes forgetting to drink properly.

[knotme]

I've never heard that losing weight is less expensive, but preparing your own meals is less expensive

[Anonymous]

Enough people go into starbucks everyday or grab snacks all the time that aren't cheap, but they can't spend the money on a hour swim or gym session?

It's not expensive, it's just laziness.

[zombiebabe]

cool fact dude...makes sense
