lmfao at the "Porkgasm"
This is why you're fat.03-15-09 08:51 AM - Wow, I like pork, but that sausage and stuffing of the porkgasm looked so greasy and disgusting. =/ lol.
People really have no idea how much they eat or how many calories are in foods NOR what foods really make you fat.
I'm no Adkins fan, but carbs definitely turn on fat deposition. The Glycemic index works.
If you really want to see why you are fat... start here... Metabolism Calculator <---- calculator.
One misnomer here is that for your weight... you should use your IDEAL body weight... in other words, find out what you weigh if your BMI was < 25 and put that in... that tells you how many calories a person your size actually needs.
If you are taking any more than that (and if you take in more than 25% of your daily calories at any one meal or if any meal has > 50% carbs..) then you will ADD FAT !! Also, if you don't get enough exercise and quality protien... you will lose muscle. It really is simple, ppl just try to make it complex.Last edited by jdoc77; 03-15-09 at 01:07 PM.

Carbs aren't necessarily bad if you're excercising (particularly for cardio; but even for anaerobic exercises)...as carbs provide the fuel for having enough energy to conduct a workout. If you have a shortage in carbs during working out; you're not going to have enough energy required to carry out the workout.Wow, I like pork, but that sausage and stuffing of the porkgasm looked so greasy and disgusting. =/ lol.

Overloading on more carbs than your body needs to function without feeling weak and on the verge of fainting is similar to putting in more gasoline in your tank than it's capacity can handle. What happens to the excess overflow of gasoline? It flows over as waste. The same functionality holds true for taking in more carbs than your 'tank' needs...the excess spills over and converts into fat.
Studies have proven for simply losing weight for the average person; it really boils down to the amount of caloric-intake they have. But for those that not only just want to lose weight; but want to add muscle/tone/definition...a more complex set of variables aside from caloric-intake need to be looked at.
However there are so many more intricacies that can be discussed (such as simple and complex carbs, etc.) on how they effect the human body; but that's a different beast to delve into...take it from a guy with 6% body fat (want to maintain 12% though). I'm enjoying my work ethic towards my health until A.) I don't care to make time for it anymore B.) My body gives up on me as it is bound to do in many ways as people age.03-16-09 04:07 PM
