Anyone who's skinny and claims its because they have a fast metabolism is talking bullshit. Its because they don't enough as much as the fat guy.

It's simple maths at the end of the day, if you use less energy than you intake, its going to be stored in the body somewhere. I mean your metabolism is just keeping your body warm and maintaining cells, its not as though the skinny guys are running 10 degrees hotter than everyone else.

If you're doing heavy weights and your body is in a constant state of repair, then yes, increasing your metabolism speed will be beneficial, but since when does digesting energy faster = less energy taken in.

I know you agree with me.	Matrik	August 07, 2011 05:42PM
It's called consensus? Your post prompted my post.	Death_Claw	August 07, 2011 05:50PM

Re: A shot in the dark	paulstrack	August 05, 2011 08:31AM
I see.	Matrik	August 05, 2011 08:38AM
Uh, you sure about that?	vortexmagus	August 03, 2011 08:09AM
That is incorrect.	ilostmycoconut	August 03, 2011 04:16PM
That's what "lower the bar" dieticians would like you to believe	(và² _à² )> AngryFatKid	August 03, 2011 01:33PM
While this makes excellent sense, I have yet to see anything really supporting it.	Matrik	August 03, 2011 06:14AM
There is a LOT supporting you, your looking at things from only one angle.	ilostmycoconut	August 03, 2011 04:14PM
This doesn't change anything.	Matrik	August 04, 2011 06:12AM
The biggest factor isn't physiology, it's psychology	Rade	August 04, 2011 06:38AM
I'd think its the opposite.	Matrik	August 04, 2011 07:10AM
Both ends of the spectrum are bad	Rade	August 04, 2011 10:38AM

First thing to understand, Metabolism doesn't just mean speed of digestion. But fat is metabolized into Energy for cells to use and many other things (n/t)	ilostmycoconut	August 03, 2011 03:57AM
Lol so wrong.	Flipside Oreo	August 02, 2011 11:49PM
I'm not sure you realize how much stuff fat people eat	PaulO	August 03, 2011 07:03AM
Still it's a big variation between individuals	Flipside Oreo	August 03, 2011 08:04AM
It's not that big of a variation unless you have a medical condition	PaulO	August 03, 2011 08:45AM
You can't just assume the reverse holds true. That's a weak and over simplified argument.	Death_Claw	August 07, 2011 05:42PM
And out of curiousity...	Death_Claw	August 07, 2011 05:54PM
My girlfriend refuses to let me put her picture on the internet, but she eats like a glutton and is rail-skinny.	wrathpuppet	August 03, 2011 07:34AM

I think you are playing it up a bit, but even if your not:	Matrik	August 03, 2011 07:49AM
Dude, I lost 20 lbs last year by just cutting out soda (coca-cola, pepsi, etc) and fast food.	Sam	August 03, 2011 08:23AM
Yuh, fast food and especially soda/pop/coke are killers.	Matrik	August 03, 2011 08:26AM
A lot of fat people I've seen really DON'T eat that much but drink enough soda to tack on another 500 calories on top of what's necessary to maintain their weight.	Starscream	August 04, 2011 06:49AM
Fatness.	Death_Claw	August 07, 2011 05:48PM
Why does your drink need to have sweeteners?	DurNominator(VIP)	August 04, 2011 07:10AM
It doesn't, not the point.	Starscream	August 04, 2011 07:31AM
Yeah, drinking 8 glasses of juice or milk a day will make you just as fat if not fatter than soda.	Death_Claw	August 07, 2011 05:49PM
I agree with this post. NT	Sam	August 06, 2011 11:15AM
Pressure juiced fruits and veggies. YUM (n/t)	Matrik	August 04, 2011 07:19AM
That's a lot of food.	wrathpuppet	August 03, 2011 08:11AM
Regular, consistent exercise does a lot	PaulO	August 03, 2011 08:38AM
Activity is a big factor of course.	Matrik	August 03, 2011 08:23AM

fatasses don't eat "small meals" (n/t)	Jib	August 02, 2011 07:32PM
Fatasses eat lucky stars. NT	Batman	August 03, 2011 12:43AM
Er, what?	PaulO	August 02, 2011 07:55PM
Naw, I was just hinting that the observation may be skewed by the fact that folks who are very overweight probably won't be eating "small meals", regardless of frequency.	Jib	August 02, 2011 08:40PM
You sound like a bear, fattening yourself for the winter. (n/t)	DurNominator(VIP)	August 02, 2011 08:03PM
