Like it or not San Antonio is full of super fat disgusting people

I don't get my facts from my wife and her exercise magazines.

Seriously, I doubt you two have a combined IQ of 57.

Good for you. But you have stated nothing to refute what I say and now are stooping to name calling and stupid quotes from stupid movies as a rebuttal.

Prove me wrong and I will concede your point. Until then, just stop, really dude. B/c you have said nothing factual about the subject. Your statement of a calorie is a calorie basically sums up what you know about the subject.

And just to let you know, I know about this stuff from college.

Maybe you should do some more reading before writing, yeah.

Dr. Weil’s position runs contrary to several irrefutable observations that you can make for yourself. Starches have fueled the engines of human civilizations for at least the past 14,000 years. Carbohydrates (starches), such as rice in Asia, corn in Central America, potatoes in South America, and barley and wheat in Europe, have provided the bulk of the calories for almost all human diets. Only a few small primitive populations, living at the extremes of the environment, such as the Inuit (Eskimos), have been fueled by saturated fats. Just as undeniable, worldwide today, populations of people who consume the greatest amounts of carbohydrate are the trimmest and fittest, and also have the lowest incidence of heart disease and diabetes. This truth is confirmed by observing the change that occurs when people from Japan, for example, migrate to the United States or Europe. As they eat less rice (carbohydrate) and more saturated fat (meat and dairy products) they become fatter and sicker.

Shastafarian, you say they is no difference but there has been numerous studies to prove otherwise. They conducted such experiment on people from Okinawa, where they eat rice (high carbs) and fats (fish), all natural. They ate the same amount of carbs and saturated fats that's processed from American foods and got fat.

Like I said, just go read about it. Then you will see why majority of people in SA are fat.

i never really noticed how disgustingly fat people in texas can be until i moved out of the country...specificially corpus and san antonio.


yeah you can say obesity rates are fine, but i'm talking so ing fat they require two seats on an airplane. i thought that was everywhere until i left and came back after a few years then it hit me.


i was at jason's deli and some heifer (i'm talking a huge chunk nugget) was getting a "salad." eating so healthy right? she put every ing topping on there known to man including half a bottle of hidden valley ranch. i mean my god she was eating a calorie soup with some garnish on the bottom. people are disgusting as in texas. and don't cry about "healthy foods."

it's simple. you ingest calories, you burn those calories. if you want to stay fit, eat less and exercise.

A calorie is a calorie you hard headed person.

One calorie is one calorie no matter the source. If that one calorie came from a steak, if that one calorie came from a soda drink or if that one calorie came from a slice of bread.

It's the intake of said calories that determine whether or not you gain weight.

Here. Educate yourself.

Bottom line, and this is keeping it very simple.

Consuming less and exercising more = Weight loss

And just to let you know, I know about this stuff from college.

Ok sure.

no it's not

For the majority of the people it is. They make the choice in the foods that they eat and whether or not they exercise. Sure there are some who have medical conditions but they're in the minority.

Again, a calorie is not a calorie. There are various types of calories and if you read my initial points, that is what I was trying to explain. Some healthy carbs, some processed carbs, some from natural fats, some from process Fats.

There are different type of carbs, different types sugars, different type of fats, etc etc (all these forms of calories).

Its like saying metal is metal. No its not. Ounce of Gold is worth more than iron, is it not.

"Like it or not San Antonio is full of super fat disgusting people and if Kawhi were one of them, would he be able to guard Durant? And if he were that huge, would his hands be that more noticable?"

Just trying to take the OP back to basketball.

True that. I was in Vancouver, B.C. a couple of months ago and I literally counted five fat people the whole week I stayed there. People were always walking, taking public transport and yes, even though there was the occasional fast food joint, the ratio of regular restaurants to fast food
places was insane. Gyms were packed and parks were being fully utilized. Hundreds of people were walking, running and biking at Stanley Park. The whole trip was an eye-opening experience.

I disagree, nobody wants to be fat. They don't have always the choice in the foods, healthy food is expensive as and then you have the cultural stuff around food. fat people are most of the time suffering, they need a bit of help. and again food industry is ed up. French don't do much more exercise than in the US but they walk more for sure, use of the car is less important and there is a tradition of walking and healthy food is affordable and everywhere.

probably my most vanila take ever...

A calorie is a unit of measurement not a tangible thing like gold or metal. My word...

So eating an entire box of double-stuffed Oreo's every night before bed isn't a disease?

[Mikeanaro]

ty food doesn´t help but most people don´t exercise because they are lazy and thats the main problem.

day of game 1 of the western finals and what's trending on ST? this thread. leave it to ST.

Well yeah, Vancouver is on the other end of the spectrum compared to the US. It has a 10 percent obesity rate. Seattle, an American city not too far from Vancouver, has an obesity rate of 23%. Explain that .

A calorie is a unit measurement but can have different sources. So a calorie from process saturated fat, isn't the same as a calorie from natural wheat. That is where I am getting at with the OUNCE of gold (calories from wheat) is not the same as an OUNCE of iron (calories from saturated fat, which was my first point made in this thread). I guess I have write a dissertation next time I want to explain something.

I can agree with some of that. True, most people don't want to be fat, and sure not everyone can eat healthy per se. Heck, I don't eat right a lot of the time. However, you can still control your exercise. Park farther away when you go shopping, take the stairs instead of taking an elevator/escalator, go for a bike ride, etc. There should be no excuse for not getting any exercise if your health permits it.

It's bad when you can get a handicap parking spot due to being obese, and then ride around the store in a mobilized wheelchair.

From April to September? It was in the 70s and low 80s all of last week. Ernie Johnson tweeted yesterday that it was a beautiful day as he prepared for a run along the Riverwalk. It's the middle of May btw.

You may have lived here but you don't know wtf you're talking about.

I heard you already have had days in the 90s.

Has to be the culture or some . I crossed over to Seattle on that same trip and I saw more fatties in one day than my whole trip in Vancouver, so I believe those numbers you posted.

[TheWriter]

Sure, but so has New York, Los Angeles and San Diego.

BTW, those 90s were low humidity days and very comfortable.

Actually, a lot of the processed fats and sugars are banned in Canada and various countries. Its a cultural thing but its also like the saying goes, "you are what you eat."

This article just shows a small list of American additives and foods banned by other countries

Anyone make it out to Oyster Bake? Wowzers I had no idea, even the little kids were porkers. I blame soft drinks

It started to be really bad to drink any soda when they exchanged real natural sugar with high fructcose corn syrup sweeteners.

90s is not comfortable. You want me to go to the weather channel and count the number of days it hit over 85 in san antonio this year as compared to New York? The weather in san antonio sucks
