Why Are Ppl Fat?

Why Are Ppl Fat?

OK, it is a question I often ask when I see morbidly obese ppl.

Why Are Ppl Fat? Fat_guy_in_speedo_dancing

How did they let themselves get that way and why don't they care?

I guess I am lucky that I tend not to be really fat and after six decades can still wear a Bikini without too much derision (Only U.S. Americans have a problem with men in Bikinis - Europeans and South Americans wear them all the time)

Some ppl mention I am in good shape for a 66-year-old man.

But, a lot of it is my lifestyle because at certain times after age 40 I did start putting on a gut. I still haven't got six-pack abs (actually, I do but they are under an inch of fat so it doesn't show).

I have altered my diet and cut out most of the common high-fat foods that most Americans take for granted without even thinking. I use a bicycle every day for transportation and several times a week I run for additional aerobic. I don't do too much upper body, just maintenance with 15-pound free wts.

Granted my lifestyle has its discomforts and I have given up much of the tasty foods I've always enjoyed (the extra fat and calories have always been bad for me, but my younger bod could burn them up). I guess it is the price I am willing to pay to have some boy, 30 (or even 40) years younger want to take me to bed. (But not that boy in the above pic).

I don't think it is entirely vanity. I haven't tried to hide the baldness, white hair or wrinkles - I know my age - but I want to look and be mobile, energetic and healthy.

Which makes me wonder why others don't.

People are fat because the design of our bodies is still for a hunter/gatherer life style when the main concern of our ancestors was when is our next meal going to be. Not for only having to walk 5 steps into the kitchen and open the refrigerator.

The ability to efficiently store fat was a hedge against prolonged periods when the pickings were scarce. That's why weight loss "diets" that too severely restrict calorie intake are often counter productive. Your body doesn't know if your trying to lose fat or if you're in the middle of a famine. Your body will slow your metabolism in an effort to conserve your stores of fat.

Portion control and moderate exercise are all most people need to maintain a healthy weight. You don't need to (literally) starve yourself or run yourself ragged like it's hell week during Navy Seal training.

If people kept an accurate food journal of what they ate, most would be sadly shocked at the number of calories they consume vs. how many their body needs to function normally. To put it another way, we're too fat because of Hand In Mouth disease. We keep putting our hands in our mouths while we're holding food.

OMG you didn't! shake sense n2u

I was purposely avoiding that ROFLMAO!

But...to answer, I think it's a lot of things. This country has a high fat, sugar, sodium, empty value, give it to me quick & now diet. We eat things that are bad for us a lot of the time. Then add that to a more sedentary couch potato lifestyle & it's not going to get good results. Too many people want a miracle pill than actually putting forth the work & effort it's going to take to get it off & keep it that way. I won't deny genetics probably play a role with some people but not to the extent that makes it the epidemic it is (in my most humble opinion).

And you're in great shape for a man of any age.

Bio mechanics. It takes less energy to haul it around. It also creates a more attractive body to aid in mate selection. I knew you really did want to know big grin

And maybe counterbalance, so they don't tip forward while pregnant with big boobs.

I tried once, unsuccessfully. It was a woman a little heavier than this guy. I wasn't into her sexually (literally) but her bi husband was a cute young man that I wanted to connect with.

We did a 3-way and I tried, really tried but when you have to use all your arm strength to hold her belly up so you can do cunnilingus, well ... the mood kinda leaves you. Luckily her ol' man took care of her and I got to take care of him.
