Obviously adding weight while pregnant is acceptable, at that time a woman is in fact two people; it's the rest of her lifespan that's at issue.

Ah yes, it's the overlapping period of life that matters, I don't suppose anyone cares if his widow gets a bit flabby.

As an engineer I also appreciate that things are never as simple as they may at first appear and that snap judgments dont get you anywhere...unless you are an engineer in "star trek"

If your machine consumed 100Kwh of power, had a know efficiency of 80% (allowing for friction, heat, electrical and mechanical losses) and you only got 60Kwh of work out You’d expect the missing 20kwh to have gone somewhere !!!!! |
Re: Anonymous Fat Wife Poll
The resting energy requirement for an average sized person is about 1200 kcal - this is just what you need for basic homeostasis. To be consuming 780 kcal per day and doing exercise and not losing weight - you'd have to be a pretty slender midget.
There was a great study somewhere with a bunch of fatties who couldn't lose weight despite them being on a 1200-calorie a day diet. As soon as they were put under 24-hour observation with no control of their own food the weight started flying off. |

Hmmmmm.....I love the smell of physics in the air, reminds me of one of units back in Leeds. :D

Re: Anonymous Fat Wife Poll
I’m not saying you’re lying
But diets that operate in the range 400Kcal to 800kcal are general reserved for those that are suffering from obesity or are highly over weight These diets are very effective in reducing body weight rapidly. In the first week, weight loss comes mainly from water and glycogen losses Fat loss is relatively small and muscle wasting can rapidly become an issue. Due to very low carbohydrate intake, lethargy, nausea, halitosis (bad breath), muscle loss, hypotension, light headedness, and dehydration are common side effects of these very low energy diets. So you can see how we might be a bit sceptical |

Re: Anonymous Fat Wife Poll
I don't think he was advising that. She was the one claiming to be on a 780-calorie a day diet, doing exercise and maintaining her obesity.

Excuse me i am under a dietician! i do have 780 calories, and the reason i do see them is because it maintains and they do put this down to PCOS! and a slow metabolisium. I do not reguard myself as OBESE so i dont expect you too thank you! Lisa |

I have never heard one of them say it is because they have a poor diet and/or don't lead a healthy lifestyle. No one wants to take responsibility for their own actions. It is always someone else's or something else's fault. And btw, just because YOU don't regard yourself as obese, doesn't mean you are not. I am not saying you are, because frankly I don't know. There is a medical definition of obesity and if you fall within that definition, then guess what? You are obese. Btw, if you have a slow metabolism, there is a way to increase it. It is called exercise. Wonder of wonders. Who would have thought? |
