HAES is bullshit.

Obesity is not a disease - it is the product of lifestyle.

Yep. If you're 140kg, you are not healthy.

I know someone with a thyroid problem and she gains weight in a flash. However, if her diet was better it would not be such an issue. People are responsible for what they eat.

Eh. You're wrong.

This is only an unpopular opinion amongst hambeasts and landwhales.

Unfortunately, when 69% of the American population and 63% of the Australian population is either overweight or obese, it becomes an unpopular opinion amongst the majority of the population.

That's why I'm walking as much as I can for as long as I can and counting kilojoules every day. I don't want to be a statistic for obesity.

Good on you, I hope you are successful. I have lost weight a number of times but then I put it back on because I AM A FUCKING STUPID PIECE OF SHIT.

It's because weight loss by calorie deprivation alone is not a long term strategy, and your body will actively fight you on it through a hormonal response to food quality.

Does this hormonal response eventually stop?

Not that I'm purely using calorie deprivation as my weight loss strategy (even though I've only eaten 250 calories today :lol:), but I want to be able to lose the weight and keep it off.

It might stop after a few hundred generations of mutation, but no it won't stop for you.

The AL badge should not be moved to the sleeve.

anything that tastes good, is not good for you

and no amount of exercise can change that
:cry:

Calm down Kitler.

UO - Welfare dependency in Australia is historically low. More cuts will only hurt the needy.

UO - the world was better before the internet.

The internet has made the world a smaller place, but overall that hasn't been a good thing.

The internet is both the best and the worst thing to happen to the world.

Well... according to Vladimir Putin the internet is a cia project, and needs to be broken up, immediately

Despite your hatred of soups and all things Sky Blue, I knew there was a reason why I love you.

Tupac is overrated.

Let's just rename this thread "insert xyz edgy comment thread"

This. Holy fuck is there anybody more obnoxious than a self-loathing virtue signaller?

And to the person who said "nobody outside the colonies knows RL"- I hope when you're talking about Australian Football you mean football in Australia and not Aussie Rules. League may be a "two state game" but those two states comprise more than 50% of this countries' population. League is also played in NZ, the UK, France and is the national sport of PNG (for what it's worth).

To both of you - why?

Terms like "Racist", "Bigot", "Homophobe" and "Misogynist" are used so frequently by the type of people who carry on about these things day in, day out, that whenever I hear of somebody referred to as one, it genuinely surprises me if I do a little research and discover that the slur is indeed an accurate one...

Agree with this. It's like a race to see who can label and marginalise others first. I think it is part of the "virtue signalling" mentioned above - if you call someone a name, you're signalling your strong alliegence to socially acceptable standards. It's also a way to shut down debate without actually having to debate any points e.g. "You're an islamophobe, your full of hatred, so your just automatically wrong and I don't have to say why you are".

I think we should ditch the UK flag from the Australian flag, but keep knighthoods.

Worked in Star Wars.

Yep. They are typically desperate words for people who can't debate for shit.

Disagree. I do believe eminem is overrated, however.
