World's Population Is 17 Million Tons Overweight!

[Anonymous]

Apparently, the world is 17 million tons overweight. Wow. Are you on a diet? If so, what is working for you? What have you tried, but have failed? What are your best tips for keeping the weight off?

I actually have to work to keep the weight on.

I naturally (without force) eat very little an as such am thinner than I should be. It's because I don't ever actually get hungry. When I say I'm hungry, it's because I'm starved to the point of feeling weak and dizzy. I don't get hunger pains and barely ever feel anything in my stomach. I also don't enjoy eating as much as other people do, for the most part.

On the bright side, dieting isn't really a problem for me at all. I have almost no problem sticking to a diet, though the diet I go for is a weight gaining diet designed to compliment regular exercise (have to make sure it's the right kind of weight).

Yes I'm sort of on a diet. I don't eat junk food and limit stuff potatoes and bread. I only drink water and tea but making the switch to all water. And I lift 4 times a week. I don't try to keep weight off though only stay lean. I wouldn't care if I weigh 270lbs as long as it was muscle

I'm in good shape, but I'm trying to lose just a little more weight like 10 pounds for an event, and so I'm doing a juice fast cause that's the only thing that works since I'm slim now. also before I lost 50 pounds on a healthy diet and what helps maintain it is to eat 3 meals a day, not that 5 meal a day bullsh*t and to honnestly eat when your hungry not bored.

I'm in good shape, and my weight is alright, according to my nutrition classes ^^

I don't eat a lot, and cut down junk food, but I should probably exercise more. I've been trying to get a routine to include sports in my week, such as 40 minutes of elliptical bike for instance.

I'd like to work up some muscle, to have firmer arms or thighs :)

NEver ever watch oprah, but go down o the beach on a hot day and check out the bellies, that should motiate you to get into shape.

Keeping the weight off is just a matter of regular exercise and staying away from pizza, hamburgers, and sugar drinks!

Yes, I am on a diet.

Tips - 6-8 glasses of 2% milk and also water.

Brisk walking in the morning for an hour and eat some kind fruit afterward.

Don't overeat - I am guilty of this..

Commit.

- I'm not surprised.. It's saddening.

That number is irrelevant is far as I'm concerned.

While it may appear large, daunting, and inherently true, that does not reflect the individual in any way.

I began to workout today actually, didn't feel so good but I figure because I didn't eat or drink something before I ran.

[hotxos]

yes I'm 50 lbs overweight but I can't diet if I do I will binge eat. I just look chubby. I'm also way too lazy to exercise.

[Cuddle_Muffin]
