You Talk to Fatties (extracted from Scams thread)

[crashjr]

Weight a minute, are you guys saying that metabolism rates are a constant across the entire species? Aren't you missing an important piece of the math puzzle?

its not


difference is when i plateaued @215 while still "dieting". This was "according to my calorie log site" while eating roughly 1200 calories a day, including only my carbs/sugars from fruits and veggies. worked out 3-4 times a week, as well as played softball, reffing basketball, doing marching band, and other random physical activities. woke up and slept on a regular college schedule- woke up by 10 or 11 in the morning and in bed by 2 or 3.

then, once eating a "normal" diet- roughly 16-1800 calories a day, i put on 25 lbs in a month or so.



i mean for 8 months straight, i literally ate tuna with no mayo or anything but hot sauce, baked fish, 2 eggs, and grilled chicken. 2x a month i would have a steak.

only snacks would be fruit or nuts.

I didn't say they were intentionally lying to you. Just pointing out that you can't eat at a huge caloric surplus and not gain weight.

They are not a constant, but the difference between an extremely fast metabolism and an extremely slow one is not nearly large enough to prevent weight loss. Like what yeota is saying about him ballooning in weight off a couple slices of pizza while his magical friend eats twice as much and can't gain any weight (assuming all other variables constant) is impossible.

Metabolism rates for constant levels of energy expenditure don't change a huge amount (for people of the same weight). Amount of muscle mass will play a factor, but it's going to be much smaller than what fatties estimate the difference is.

The guy who eats a ton and never gains weight either doesn't really eat a ton, exercises a huge amount, or some combination of the two.

The average person in 1700 or whatever ate like 4000 calories a day but wasn't fat because they worked their ass off in the day, and the fatty today who eats 4000 calories probably sits on his ass doing nothing.

Yea, calories are a scam.

This is complete and utter fabrication. LOL @ anyone, even a 95 pound girl, eating 1600 cals a day and gaining 25 lbs in a MONTH.

Come live with me for a month. I will pay all your expenses and cover all food costs, and feed you 1600 calories a day. 10k to you if you gain 10+ lbs, 10k to me if you don't.

[El Diablo]

yeota,

So you claim that you ate 1600-1800 calories a day, were reasonably active, and went from 215 to 240 in a month.

LOL. LOLOLOLOLOL.

[El Diablo]

yeota,

While you may have a slower metabolism, thyroid issues, etc etc, the main reason you gain weight is because you have absolutely no concept of the amount of food you are consuming.

Is this even possible if you are bedridden?

I guess if you get 30lbs of IV fluids put into you it is.

[yeotaJMU]

Yes

25lbs gained in a month is around 3000 calorie a day surplus, he found a way to burn -1500 calories/day staying alive

He might have been dehydrated to the point of near death at the beginning of the month, then drank 2 gallons of water at the end. It's possible.

[El Diablo]

yeota,

You were probably eating hundreds of calories per day in nuts alone.

Use some common sense here. Do you think you can gain weight without consuming anything? No?

OK, then, let's try this next exercise.

Fat: 1 gram = 9 calories
Protein: 1 gram = 4 calories
Carbohydrates: 1 gram = 4 calories
Alcohol: 1 gram = 7 calories

Where did the 25 lbs come from?

[Dr. Spaceman]

I used to work in the cafeteria at a university in Virginia. One day this sorta fat guy came in wearing a Leon Lett jersey. Now, I'm a big Giants fan, so I decided to mess around with this guy (or as we used to call it back in those days, "pull an everyday scam"). He ordered a chicken salad with balsamic vinegar on the side, but I replaced the chicken with foie gras and the balsamic vinegar with bacon grease. Apparently the guy didn't realize, because he came back every day for the next month and ordered the same thing.

gallon of water is 8.3lb so I guess he found a way to bloat on 3gallons of water
