My leukemia's back.

I don't think it works that way.

Yeah, men have more muscle mass and expend more energy feeding the muscles.

Bruce, you can't argue with fact. It's so! Men, with their extra muscle mass burn through the calories, while women are designed to hoard those calories in a nice layer of fat. All the better to support a pregnancy.... even though the body may be long past that stage of life!

OK but ... explain the fact that there are PLENTY of obese men?

 

[LittleLakePhil]

What guy!


Unless artificial sweeteners give you migraines. I couldn't find ONE liquid cough/cold medicine at the grocery store that didn't have artificial in it. This "no sugar" thing is a bit out of hand.

Doctor's haven't told me not to eat sugar..... But I'm sure I shouldn't be.

They eat too much..... Drink too much beer...... And probably sit in front of the TV too much.

Yep, listen to Phil. BTW, I could cure obesity with a single application of bilateral long arm casts.

And, then there are the folks who have metabolic issues. Eat very little, yet pack on the pounds. Both men, and women fall into this category.

I have a doctor friend who says, a calorie is a calorie is a calorie. Simply put, eat less calories than you burn, and you will loose weight.

Calorie definition: Calorie A unit of heat equal to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1,000 grams of water by one degree Celsius. This unit is used as a measure of the energy released by food as it is digested by the human body.

However, my definition of a calorie: An invisible unit in all food that is directionally proportionate to the enjoyment derived from the ingestion of such food.

That sounds about right!

Not a lot of the folks that I see at Cracker Barrel.

It takes a lot of energy to engage in repeated elbow flexion.

Well they have let their muscles atrophy and their motormouths keep on eating whether they need it or not. My dad got so weak he could not pick up a gallon plant because all he did was sleep, eat, watch tv and repeat.
