"False advertising" related to weight

[Anonymous]

I see where you're brother's coming from.

It's when you should disclose something about yourself, that might happen again and don't. That something is usually not your fault, like mental or physical health issues in your family, personal debt or spending or addiction issues, whatever. Being terribly fat should be disclosed, because there is a risk you might become fat again - and slice it however you want, that leads to serious health problems.

In high school she was around 160 lbs. In her mid to late 20's she got really really thin, around 120lbs. She met a guy who she ended up marrying. He only ever knew her when she was thin. She immediately gained 30 lbs after the wedding. Since then, she has gained weight ongoing and now after ten years is around 220lbs.

My brother said this was " false advertising" and he felt bad for her husband. Saying, the husband married a thin woman and now he is stuck. Yes, my brother is a jerk. But do you agree with his point?

Is 5 ft 8 in @ 160 really considered chubby? I thought that was in the normal range?

+1 seems not excessive to me either.

Every frame is different. I'm 5'8" and only broke past 160 pregnant. I'm not very muscular though. I'm definitely chubby at 160. General rule of thumb is 5 pounds per inch over 5' at 100 pounds. Somewhere between 145-150 is ideal for me. 140 and I start to look like Skeletor. Approaching 155 and clothing is definitely too tight and my face is noticeably rounder. Size 6-8.

If people can't actually do whatever you are spouting as 100% effective, then it isn't really effective at all, and it is certainly not a "free choice."

Calorie deficit is 100% effective for weight loss.
Overweight people are generally undisciplined and not honest with themselves about how many calories they eat.
This is however their free choice.

You are a very ignorant and not well educated person when it comes to the complexity of metabolism.

I said calorie deficit... do you really not know what that means?
I will give you a hint: metabolism most definitely a part of the equation.
Educate yourself, then come back and post.

Well, I married someone with a full head of hair, and now he's almost completely bald. Is it false advertising? What about people who got sick during the course of their lives? What about men who developed ED? LOL

Idiot. Calorie deficit is only 100% effective in the short term. In the long term you will destroy your metabolism and spent the rest of your life being one of those women who can only eat 1000 calories / day without turning into a whale.

It's not false advertising, but it is a changed circumstance.

NP here and you are so clueless. So, what is effective in the long term, if not a calorie deficit?

Increasing your metabolism, duh. Lift weights and build muscle. Instead of focusing on cutting calories, eat the right type of calories, in smaller amounts every 3-4 hours. Once you tank your metabolism by dieting or fasting, you're committing yourself to a lifetime of dieting and fasting.

In general men should investigate the size of the mom and also look for signs the women may be fat and temporarily fighting on keeping the weight of to trap a man. Look for signs of stretch marks, breasts too large for the frame, curvy etc... It's always easier for a naturally skinny person to stay an acceptable size.

My wife's mom is 40-50 lbs overweight but my wife has never had a hint of it. Of course, she's dropped the southern fried diet too and works out every day.

To clarify, this will often result in starting out with a calorie surplus (of the good calories) until your metabolism catches up. Then you drop down to deficit.

This is still about calorie deficit. You can increase your metabolism all you want but if you eat more calories than what your increased metabolism requires, you'll still gain weight. DUH

The notion of calorie deficit is simplistic - if you primarily metabolize glucose as your fuel it makes sense.

If you primarily metabolize fat, it's not that relevant: http://www.dietdoctor.com/what-happens-if-you-eat-5800-calories-daily-on-an-lchf-diet

You're awful! You sound like you're buying a car -- kick the tires, look under the hood -- not searching for your soulmate. Maybe you should check consumer reports too!

Thanks for the article, it was interesting. However, the subject of that experiment still did not lose weight. He gained weight. Not as much as would be expected, but he still gained. So tell me again how calorie surplus v deficit doesn't affect weight?
