You forgotten which point you were arguing?

Nope !, you claimed it was all fat. Thats BS ! Mr Qualified !

Of course if we are talking bed ridden patients or those so fat they cant exercise then yes i agree with you but neither me nor the op fall into that catagory

What is interesting are the studys suggesting the more complex a diet is the more likely it is to fail and also those that point out that those studys that are suggesting moving more and eating less dont work are bullshine – bit like mythbusters really.

Its all genetics really obesityis nothing to do with enviroment and expected behaviors at all…. Couldnt possibly get sweaty, must take the car everywhere

Go back even to my grandparents time and being fat was the preserve of the rich or the retired. The working class didnt have the time or money to get fat. Life is too easy and sedantary and many of us will choose the easy life. Many of us will go to the gym and say we worked out when reality is we didnt break a bead of sweat and we will say we are eating less when infact we are not, most move more eat less failures fail because they are not eating less and not moving more.

All observations from my own facebook feed – so will be instantly dismissed under the many anacdotes does not make data rule in favour of heavily skewed strudies into lack weight loss by fat giffers

You should try eating less and moving more Solo; if nothing else it might improve your ability to argue your point.

…and you started the name calling.

I think we might have an inkling who is big behind his keyboard 😉

I lost 10lbs in 3 days last week following a strict no fat no sugar diet. Coincidentally I did interval sessions on my turbo interspersed with running and commuting by bike to work.

It seems watching your calorie intake combined with rigorous anaerobic exercise contributes greatly to weight loss.

I’m doing it again next week. Fwiw I weigh 73 kilos.

It seems watching your calorie intake combined with rigorous anaerobic exercise contributes greatly to weight loss. Who have think it!

Are you drinking absinthe?

5 weeks ago I was 13st. Then I went on holiday, drank lots of beer, ate lots of food and did no exercise. Now I’m 14st. Probably just a coincidence though.

I think you probably need a lie down.

Typical of this place. I’ve stated on numerous posts that its good for the OP to have lost weight, esp if they are happy with it.

My issue was with how its claimed its only as simply as move more, eat less.

Most have chosen to ignore this, for a chance to have go. As before, I don’t give a fig what you call me, that you chose to selectively read my posts so as to have a go, only goes to highlight you’re prejudice.

You are the only one displaying prejudice by implying that weight loss cannot be achieved by eating less and moving more, and by rubbishing those for whom this strategy has worked.

Given some of the op’s previous on stw, i’m sure he will survive the mental duress of another contributor acting the arse with him. But fair play on the weight loss, good effort op.

Just seems a shame, and a teeny tiny bit condescending, to do so

Well, then like most here, and not surprisingly so. You’ve missed the parts where I’ve congratulated the OP on their weight loss, but only disputed that its only fat thats been lost (still no admission from the OP that using the word ‘seems‘ fools no one) or that weight loss in general is solely about moving more and eating less. Those who cling to their pitchforks have failed to read this or have selectively failed to read this. Thats no surprise also. Theres loads of science out there which shows its a bit more complicated in Humans than move more and eat less. But its easier for the lazy to have a pop at someone who has spent their own money on books and read up on the subject.

Its hugely irrelevant in most cases but you seem incapable of saying “good work mate and well done”.

Whether it was depression, meds, an intimate relationship with his fridge. He is happier and healthier and thats the important issue.

Really why can people just not e nice on here, debate is OK but this is rediculous, he was overweight, he lost some. I am over weight and losing some.

For the record Solo I am overweight as I am fat bastard. I like food and beer far too much. I was eating too much and not moving enough thats why I am overweight, no drugs, never needed anything to stimulate my appetite. Now I move more and eat less I am losing it. Weird but from a survey of two people who do not know each other eating less and moving more seems to be working. Must be a bloody miracle as there is no peer reviewed empirical evidence that simply eating less and moving more should work.

That wasn’t your issue. Your issue was that the weight lost was only fat.

Your first text post in this thread was

And you know this, how ?

Although it could be said you clearly have multiple issues.

Your congratulations appear to have been prompted by universal distain for the attitude shown in your original posts, as any positive comments from you were posted only after you are criticised.

I’ve got a PhD, but I don’t think it gives me the right to be an arse in a conversation based on my field of expertise.

Aaaah, a self-taught expert then?
