Obesity in America

[Al B. Sure!]

Fun fact. In Nazi Germany, two hours PER DAY was devoted to physical education in German schools, up from 2 hours per week in the Weimer government.

[Lorizael]

Even so, I still get into the gym and pursue my physical goals. The same can't be said of you.

wtf are you talking about? I'm a time-traveling cyborg who could totally kick your ass, but I'm too busy making sure Hitler's evil twin will never have been born.

Al, the percentage of people that fit that category of being so built that BMI considers them obese is almost negligible. You certainly aren't one who falls in that category. If you don't like being fat, then lose the fat.

You are full of **** if you think I'm fat.

A man who doesn't weigh at least 200lbs is a woman.

Yes, yes, now go eat your manly bacon and eggs with a nice stack of pancakes drenched in maple syrup. Having a gut that hangs over your belt is truly manly. Do you have some back hair to go with it? That will definitely have girls running to you. Finish the look off with a nice gold medallion and a half unbuttoned shirt. Break out those bell bottoms and hit the town with confidence. You, sir, are a true lady's man.

[Al B. Sure!]

You are so full of ****. I was trying to get stronger so obviously that means I'd put on mass which won't all be muscle obviously. Anyone who is trying to get stronger will put on some fat. But I'm nowhere near a normal person's definition of fat and I am mere months removed from my defined six-pack picture I posted before.

So let's see your amazing physique, guy with a herniated disc who can't even run or lift weights.

[DriXnaK]

I do lift weights, I just do all of it sitting down and I don't lift vertically. Also, define a normal person's definition. Furthermore, why would you want to compare yourself to the norm? You also have failed to do any real research on what it is you're doing. I even offered you advice as someone who has been down the path. The human body is only capable of putting on so much muscle at once. Anything you eat beyond that is going to be fat. Eating more doesn't equate to more muscle, it only means more fat. The only way to surpass this fact is through incredible genetics, which neither one of us has, or through the use of chemical compounds. So, I'll state it again, you just wasted several months of your life and the gains you think you made aren't even remotely close to reality. How do I know this? Because I went down the same road you did.

[C0ckney]

"ooh you're so fat"
"no i'm strong dammit, a big strong manly man"
"fatty fatty fat, i've seen your pic fatty, ooh"
"ok, lets see your body then"

if you two ever met in real life i think the sexual tension would tear the fabric of space time. get a room, for goodness sake.

[Al B. Sure!]

He's the one who instigates it.

[giblets]

"He started it!" What, are you a six year old?

[DriXnaK]

I think I'm just going to give up on giving you advice since you always end up running away and starting another "need me, love me, and accept me" thread.

[DaShi]

Also, define a normal person's definition.

A normal person's definition is often the one used in a dictionary.

this is a good OP, and education should be 5 hour days, 4 hr class 1 hr sport, it would be a lot better than what US currently has, enormous benefits for kids... the only problem is when the money making society - who will take care of the kids outside of school hours???

4 hr of classes a day are more than enough to learn everything you need way past current US standards.

Fun fact. In Nazi Germany, two hours PER DAY was devoted to physical education in German schools, up from 2 hours per week in the Weimer government.

Like US today, Nazi Germany did not do everything wrong.

Drix, have you considered an ultra-low-cal diet? It's been shown in mice (I think some other animals as well) to vastly increase life expectancy. If your food is blah anyway and you're all about achieving goals, why don't you buy yourself a little extra time?
