you are what you eat? true or false?

Question

possibly explain.

Answer 1

false i think if you cut the size off your meals and you exercise than you still can burn the fat off you can still enjoy food but do more exercise that all. I know i used to be 12 stone and when i had my little girl and i went up to 18 stone and i keep putting it on until i was 24 stone and i cut my meals and done more exercise and now i am 14 stone so it shows that it ain't what you eat its how much

Answer 2

I guess to a point that could be accurate...If you many fats in foods then you end up getting fatter or more round than desired, respectively if you eat healthier foods then you stay at or lose some weight....I dont think it means literally like if you eat nothing but a chicken then you are a chicken! LOL! Also, I can think of some things men eat that arent typically a food item but we men love to eat it as much as possible....! Good to talk to you cutie!

Answer 3

I don't think its quite as simple as that. My sister and I are very alike in our body shape, however she is a personal trainer so has plenty of exercise and always eats a controlled diet. For myself I weigh a good 3 stone heavier than my sister I exercise but not to the same level, so although my figure is larger I am (so I am told) more evenly proportioned and enjoy much better health so I would tend to argue more along the lines of you are who you are.

Answer 4

True. What you eat manifests (great word! look it up) itself into how your skin appears.
Healthy eating = shiny hair, clear skin, bright eyes, nice nails, strong teeth and bones, confidence and of course, a great body. Clothes fit you! You feel good, and are happy.
Eat garbage = unsightly fat, cellulite in women, oily skin, pimples, dull look, no energy, poor attitude and low self-esteem.
It may not show when you are younger, but after the age of 25, you will really notice how big of a difference it will make.

Answer 5

1) check the behaviour of eat meaters and the vegetarians - the first one is far more violet, physically or verbally
2) mils is the essence accordingly to Ayurveda, check those people that have being drinking goat milk from generations down, they are very hairy, like the goats, even they little girls
3) notice how gentle and peaceful are most of the vegetarian people (not idiot, they can fight for a cause they believe is good).
4) look at the fat ugly people and check they diet: junk ugly food.
It is very interesting when we observe those things by ourselves. Sometimes i can even guess right what is the main food of a person. Once i was looking at guy from work and the way he speak, the gesture, the sound, wow, it was chicken! when I asked him what he likes the most to eat, he said, chicken!
Once I visited Portugal and they stature of some local people, and the shape of they body and specially face - pig! Everywhere, on the supermarkets and butchers, and abundance of pig, the whole pig in advertising everywhere, the same i notice in Thailand... those, have even pork on they crisps!

Answer 6

On a street near my home there's a gigantic poster, depicting a grisly photograph of a young girl glugging a five-litre bottle of cooking oil. The oil is pouring down her chin and over her shirt. It looks disgusting and is designed to put you off eating crisps. "What goes into crisps goes into you," shrieks the tagline. Do you see?

What their stupid poster is trying to say is this: if you eat a large bag of crisps every day for a year, you're effectively "drinking" almost five litres of cooking oil. But so what? Drinking five litres of cooking oil would indeed be awful, but only if you necked it in one go. Sip it in tiny quantities over a full year and it might be quite pleasant. Or you could drizzle it over some crisps. That'd be even nicer.

You could create an equally sickening campaign attacking organic brown rice. Run a cinema ad showing a year's worth of excrement emerging from someone's backside in one endless, unbroken go, accompanied by a voiceover saying look, if you eat organic brown rice every day for a year, here's how much waste you'll jettison. And then to underline the point you'd show someone vomiting over it. You know: just to argue your case subtly, like the British Heart Foundation does.

It's not just them. Wizened, infuriating, oatmeal-and-bracken guru Gillian McKeith creates unappetising food mountains in the kitchens of blobsome paupers in an effort to fuel their self-disgust. Look, you hopeless waddling gluttons: look how revolting it is when we take all the cream cakes and sausages you ate in a week and stack them on top of each other! Watch how the tomato sauce from Thursday's spaghetti hoops congeals with Monday's chocolate milkshake. Weep! Weep, you fat fools!

St Jamie Oliver pulled the same stunt on his recent Return to School Dinners, mixing chips and cakes and fat into an almighty steaming lump in front of horrified onlookers. As a spectacle, it's stomach churning; as dietary advice, it's meaningless. Churn a ton of pesto, scallops, muesli and yoghurt together and it'll look just as grim, especially if the camera intermittently pans up to take in St Jamie's increasingly well-fed face gurning over the top of it.

Still, who cares if the shock tactics make sense - this is about saving lives, right? Well, yeah, maybe - that and snobbery. But where does this demonisation end?

Tip junk food into a trough and you're effectively saying the people who eat it are pigs: greedy ignorant livestock, who perhaps deserve pity, or perhaps scorn, but clearly don't deserve freedom of choice. Because left to their own devices, look what they'll do: they'll happily drink a five-litre bottle of cooking oil, like the woeful, indolent scum we think they are.

Answer 7

It's funny you sould say this i just saw a study that showed that we(americans)are on average 70%CORN,messed up huh it has to do with the amount of corn and corn syrup in everday items,sad but true.

Answer 8

I am not an avacado, damn you! How dare your insinuate that I am an avacado!

Seriously, I don't know why people say that. It's silly. I think they are referring to the fact that the food choices you make will reflect in the way your body looks... Although I have to tell you, my body looks nothing like an avacado or a banana. My hair looks like a pineapple today, but I don't think that's what they meant....

Answer 9

Yes, we must be made of what we eat, what we absorb and what we started of as in the womb.

But think how different a cow and a horse are although they eat the same thing. !

Gorillas ( and bulls ) are all muscle but their diet is vegetarian. !

I think your attitude to what you eat is probably as important as the nutritional value.

Answer 10

True- If you only eat fat and junk you will feel fat and unhealthy.

You eat well you feel well :)

When I binge on junk food I feel tired and lethargic,when I'm eating well I have bundles of energy!
