Why do people keep asking how to lose weight?

Question

It's very annoying.
Are they stupid or just slow?
you eat less calories than your body burns in a day
ITS SIMPLE.
why make it harder than it is?
unless you have a medical issue (which only about 1 percent of people have)
drink water eat less calories
do they not teach you this in grade 4
food= calories
calories= fat stored when not used
this is simple... there is no other way..
the only people that don't lose weight1
1. dont try
2. dont follow the easy rule
3. like being fat and lazy

do you actually think people are this stupid; or are they kidding around?

kaustikos: you must be overweight
metabolism is there, sure.. SO THEN EAT LESS
i have a fast metabolism so i EAT MORE
god stop giving these people excuses.

the guy who lost 60 pounds

Wishnu H: lifestyle has changed that is true, but really WHO CARES?

and your stats are a little off its getting closer to 70 percent overweight.
but i do agree... and the job thing, it makes money true.. and i'm glad you can help these lazy bastards

Answer 1

For people who have put on weight it is not as simple as you think so. It is not simply eating that puts on weight. Seldom fat people eat more than the thin people because lots of fat around belly has actually compressed the size of their stomach and they cannot eat as much as thin people who can fully stretch their stomach due to lack of fat. Regarding eating they cannot stop eating because they have to maintain their bulk weight body which requires more calories for the nutrition hence the only way to reduce weight is by doing exercise like yoga which causes least strain on one hand and gives the maximum result on the other and gives the person an overall good health throughout one's life.

Answer 2

Well, there is this thing that the category is "Diet and Fitness". If people did not ask how to lose weight what would this category contain??
But anyway, its also the fact that losing weight is not the same thing with all people. Metabolism has much to do with it. And what you say is not true. Its, as you said, 4th grade logic. Less food=less carlories. Well, there are people that eat next to nothing and still gain weight, and people that dont seem to stop eating and still remain slim. My best friend has always his mouth stuffed with junk food (burgers, chocolates, chips, snacks, etc.) yet there is not one point on his body that has extra fat.
So, I suggest, if you dont like to see questions about How to lose weight, and if you think its annoying; well you can simply CHANGE CATEGORY.

Have a nice day.

Answer 3

Well to answer you question, i'll let you know this.
last year survey shows that 60% of Americans are overweight while 40% is considered obese.
It is very hard because of the culture and conditioning that we live in now favors convenience and convenience compromises health and nutritional value.
The culture of home entertainment where people now prefers to sit at home than go outside and be active adds to the equation also.

Okay now to your list of people who don't lose weight:
1. Don't try.
Well with the culture we have now, with the work load we have and long office hours or study time. It is easier to break down and chomp down those pizzas. With mindsets like that I think health became an afterthought until they looked themselves in the mirror. I know, I went thorugh it.

2. Don't follow the easy rule.
Same as above. I don't think rules are the first thing that comes to mind when you're busy

3 Like being fat and lazy
If that is so, that means 60% of the world population enjoys being lazy fat pigs. I don't think so. But in the end, if fat people don't exist, there should be no demand for professional health consultant and trainers like myself.

Answer 4

I lost 60 lbs in 6 months, I was tired of being fat, now i'm ok, everyone keeps asking me how I did it, I spent 1 hour making up a meal plan for someone that asked me, they just waste my time, now I just say "Weight watcher's", most people don't have the drive, and commitment it takes to lose wt., some will even ridicule you for doing it, I used to work with a really fat annoying guy (at leats 380 lbs.), I saw him in the bank last week, he shouted out to me "Eat a cheeseburger will you", and everyone in the bank laughed at me, I retorted with "You must have about a dozen cheeseburger's in your pocket, You think you could spare one", with an even LARGER LAUGH FROM THE CROWD !

Answer 5

I think it's cyclical. Right after New Year's the questions start pouring in. Now we're getting ready for spring break, summer, bikini season... it may taper off after August. My pet peeve is those who ask how they can "loose" weight. Pity spell check doesn't check grammar too!

Answer 6

out at the bar order a water between every drink

Answer 7

run 5 percent of a marathon at a 10 minute mile pace

Answer 8

think ahead to how youll eat and exercise on the weekends its easy to get too relaxed on saturdays and sundays but healthy living is a 7 day a week endeavor

Answer 9

make like a fish and swim at a leisurely pace for 17 minutes

Answer 10

its a lot harder then it sounds. people aren't educated on weight loss and even when they are its hard to stay motivated and change your lifestyle.
