Do you think being fat really has nothing to do with diet?

[Anonymous]

As I have gotten older, I have gained weight. Nowadays, any sort of carb makes me look fat and bloated. I can't eat pasta unless I want to look pregnant over the next 2 days. Meanwhile, I see all these skinny folks eating anything they want from pasta, rice, breads, fried foods. YET, they're all still thin!!! I work around plenty of thin people who eat fried foods , mcdonalds for lunch who don't gain a pound. On the other hand, I rarely ever eat fried foods or junk foods and I still get fat.

I have to maintain a 90% vegetarian diet in order to not gain weight. The more I think about it, the more I believe that diet has little to do with weight gain. It all depends on your genes and metabolism. Just the same way it is so easy for some to gain weight while it is so easy for some to lose weight.

Well it has 100% got to do with nutrition or diet if you want to call it that. A lot of people don't look fat but they are fat on the inside. My suggestion is probably do a detox and not by doing anything drastic just cut out sugar or anything that turns into sugar like carbs ( pasta, rice, bread, potatoes) basically white or beige foods. And start a diet with lots of vegetables and salads and a bit of protein. I would do that for as long as you can a month if at all possible and once your body has re-adjusted to a nutritional diet then test a new thing like pasta for example but then have it with vegetables no protein and see how your body reacts. If you do stuff like that you find out what foods you are sensitive too and then you know to avoid them and eat them on the rare occasions. A good way to tell if you have food sensitivity is to weigh yourself every morning. If you weight has gone up after 1 day then you know what you ate the day before even up to 72 hours earlier is causing inflammation in your body and you should avoid or eat it very seldom. I hope this helps you.

i can't cut carbs out of my diet. i tried keto for a few weeks, then i just ended up going on a carb binge

[yikesyikesyikes]

That's because you need to replace carbs with fats. So nuts and avocado and good oils in your salad and vegetables like olive oil. You also need to eat a lot of vegetables otherwise you feel hungry. Most hunger is related to not eating enough nutrients. So for example you may eat lots of carbs because they are nutrient deficient so you need to keep eating because you always hungry and it never stops. Also sometimes you not really hungry you thirsty but you misunderstand the information your body is giving you and you eat instead.

i honestly don't think olive oil, nuts and avacados can keep me full. The last time I went only ate vegetables, I was hungry every 2 hours. Though I felt thinner and lighter... I just couldn't keep it up because I was just constantly eating so frequently.

Yes. I'm 35. I have never had such an issue losing weight as now.

Being fat has everything to do with diet!..

being fat depends on whether are you in a calorie deficit or Calorie Surplus..

if you want to eat pasta and fatty food, start playing sports, start swimming, Run 5 miles daily!.. and then return and enjoy the food!..

[Asker]

it has nothing to do with diet. plenty of people never work out , eat crap and are still thin. on the other hand, i eat healthy and im still fat

[Nik1hil]

Yes they eat Crap and twice of what you eat, but their Body does not absorb Sugar from the food.
Your Body is healthy, your intestine is good and it Absorbs everything..
This Good rate of Absorption Keep you in Calorie Surplus and makes you fat!..

For example.
You and Tina Both Eat 1kg of Food.
You both Burn 1000 Calories working Daily.
However , you body Absorbs 1500 Calories worth Energy, While TINA only Absorbs 800 Calories of energy from same amount of food.

So end of day

You = 1500 -1000 = 500 Calories remaining which will be saved as FAT in the your body.

TINA = 800 - 1000 = -200 Calories , so TINA would Actually Grow thinner by Losing FAT worth 200 Calories..
Eating the Same amount of FOOD!..

You need to Understand what is CALORIE DEFICIT and CALORIES SURPLUS..
It's not the Same amount of food..

Maybe TINA does not work out physically, but her metabolism is HIGH , Brains RUNS so much It consumes Sugar like Anything.. so no matter how much CRAP she eats , she burns it all out!..

When I said Running and SWIMMING, these 2 things Increase OXYGEN level in body and burn Fats Faster. Reducing the Weight..

If you are lazy, drink " Chameli Tea" or " Apple CIDER " Before you eat food... They will temporarily reduce your Body's Capacity to absorb Sugar and you will eat the food and SHIT the food out, but not absorb anything.. and not grow FAT!..

[Asker]

thats why i said, diet means nothing. Plenty of people like myself are fat , don't eat much and we remain fat. I just had a healthy vietnamese sandwich and a hot chocolate, I felt bloated after i ate. rolled around like an egg afterwards. then you got thin people who eat twice the amount I do and they still aren't fat.

[Nik1hil]

No, do some physical labor.. that's what your body wants..

The people who eat a lot and aren't growing Fat have bad body... Some of them are infected with Intestinal worms.. which eat all the food.. or some other crap, you are healthy.. don't complain about getting fat.. complain about not working out!..

[Asker]

working out is not as easy as you just say it is. if you hate the exercise you're doing, you will find it increasingly difficult to workout as time goes on.

Its kinda like saying if you keep forcing yourself to eat foods you hate , you will eventually stop eating it.

if losing weight was so easy, it wouldn't be a billion dollar industry.

[Nik1hil]

🤣🤣 complaining so much..
I have dropped my weight from 85kgs to 74 Kgs in couple of months , it's quite easy..

You hate exercise because your body has no energy, take energy supplimenta Vitamin B etc.. eat very Little.. stay Hydrated.. and do intermittent fasting..
Once you ENTER Ketosis state , Fat burns like Anything!..

[Asker]

@nik1hil

its easier for some people to lose weight than others.

human bodies are designed differently.

just the same way some people gain weight more easily than others.

some people can endure boring workouts while other people cannot. I need something fun.

[Nik1hil]

Yo!.. Lazy Ass will Lose Weight 🤭When a Dinosaur, a Roaring T-Rex will chase you for a munchy bite.. 🤭 until then 😄Grow Fat , be a rolly Polly 😄 Don't stress much.. be happy!..

There's nothing wrong with being a Bit Fat 😉 as long as you are super Happy!..

What's your Heights and Weight according to it!.
Besides back in the days Fat people were considered good because their Body was capable of Storing Fat to survive a Draught period with no food for months...

Still a few Tribes in certain places prefer Fat people at the best mates.. 🤫

@nik1hil

Yea anyone can lose weight with just exercise. but the question is: will you be able to keep it up? thats the big question.

i have been running- which i absolutely hate. I only lasted running everyday for about 2 months then i just quit cuz i just realized i hated it so much.

[Billlewis]

Oftentimes, a person's diet and caloric intake have very little to do with their weight, because your metabolism is largely what determines how many calories you'll burn during physical activity.

[Asker]

these people don't even workout.

[Billlewis]

Most people don't workout, but because they've been blessed with a high metabolic rate, they tend to burn calories at a sufficient pace to offset the calories that they're consuming.

[Asker]

thats what im saying... growing up, i kept hearing that fat people are fat because they eat unhealthy which is absolutely not true.

[Billlewis]

Of course it's untrue, and for whatever it's worth, I love full figured plus sized women.
