i don't know why everyone is flaming on ASH..She is bascially making a on-topic subject. If you don't like the subject to get involved with it. Let her speak her mind..Normal post in the basement can hurt alot of members also

 

Apology accepted

This is not a Ash flaming thread.
I actually agree with most of her opinions.
It's just some of the comments weren't necessary.

 

If your fat try not eating anything white and eat stuff that is low in carbs. For example don't eat rice, bread, ect. It is called the atkins diet and it worked for about 15 pounds in a month on my gf's dad. He orders hamburgers and takes off the bun.

 

the atkins diet works, but it also deprives the body of nutrients. the body needs carbs for energy too. also, the weight can come back a lot faster once the person resumes his/her normal diet. there have been a number of criticisms about the diet since it became more widestream, and those are just a few of the concerns.

 

yeah i'm with rich on this one. Atkins is only good if you want to shed some pound relatively quickly. it's not a long term solution or even effective in the long run.


my coworker who weighs 290lbs got a radical surgery. basically they put a little thing at the top of the stomach to adjust the flow of food. The doctor can adjust how much food can flow with a well a special screw driver.

He has lost nearly 80 pounds in the past 6 months. He lost about 30 pounds in the first two months and then he lost the others more gradually.

at the same time he is eating better and getting more exercise (walking)

his off road truck tire belly is now about the size of a full size spare. a huge difference. He can almost see his toes he told me

so for some people there are more drastic measures you can take. no one thing will work for everyone. that's the beauty of us humans we are very different yet so alike.

 

on the flip side (i didnt want to have to make another thread to this) have anyone of u been made fun of b/c u are too skinny? when i was in late elementary/middle school. these older kids used to call me anorexic all the time. at that age i didnt know what it meant and now i do and it makes me sad some assholes could do that to a lil kid

 

i used to make fun of ashley, it was funny but didnt make it harmful, was funny, but damn ashley you need to stop forgetting to eat b/c your to damn busy.

 

yeah all the time. but i know i do not have an eating disorder, so i am happy
and really- its just jealousy. I realize it now.
All the girls who were like "are you anorexic?" back in the day are the ones on diets now.

 

mike why dont you come over my house and say that?
right now I got a bag of tostidos, a bowl of spinach/artichoke and cheese dip, and a half eaten bag of chocolate chips.

 

no but my girl friend was made fun of by my ex roommates girl friend.

she said something to the effect of "at least I don't look like an anorexic stick" looking right my my girl friend with that I hate you look on her face and this was at my birthday party.


i was about chop her head off when one of her best guy friend (who works about and was really buffed) said to her "yeah that's what all the fat people say!"

We all busted out laughing at her.

She felt stupid and didn't say anything else.
