Apr 4, 2008 - stop eating meats and start eating vegetables, fruits, and grains that is the way to lose weight, no magic infomercial commercial will ever work, if you do this you are lazy and ovously fat.

Apr 4, 2008 - BMI isn't always right. Tells me I should weigh 130 lbs. I am 5'11"!!! If my BMI was right, I'd literally fall over, or blow away!

Apr 5, 2008 - Yes, I believe you. You'd lose 100lbs in one day if you start eating fruits & vegetables. You are what you eat, laetrille. A fruity vegetable - bony & energyless. Better put some meat on those bones.You'd have to eat a ton of vegetables and fruits to replace the meat for your protein.I grill all my meals for healthy dishes with my George Foreman to get rid of all that fat. Just be careful on the seasoning and the marinating.

Apr 7, 2008 - children are obese now because of there parentsBUT ITS THEMSELVES TO!!ITS CALLED EXCERCISE! AND BEING ACTIVE! not being lazy

Stuhletto Says:

Apr 27, 2008 - No you will not lose weight.. You must excercise too. It isn't all about eating.. choosing an apple over a candybar won't make you loose weight.. getting to the gym and working out for an hour 6 times a week will make you loose weight! Weight loss has nothing to do with meat consumption, its pure and simple calorie consumption.. 1200 a day for women.. 1500 a day for men...

laetrille Says:

Apr 28, 2008 - You are mistaken choosing and apple over steak is a part but like you say excercise is also very important, the reason meat is so fatening is because the fat theat you can see on it is not all there is, most of the fat is in the muscle fiber.

Stuhletto Says:

Apr 28, 2008 - lol no.. I mean there are people who think that replacing their fattening snacks with fruits like apples will help them lose weight.. but really weight loss requires exercise.. thats what i'm saying.. eating without exercise will not help you to lose weight..

laetrille Says:

Apr 28, 2008 - i never discouraged extercizing.

May 22, 2008 - its very easy. dont eat when youre not hungry, when you are, eat alot of fruits and veggies. cut down on bread and milk but dont leave them out. normally one piece of bread is about 80 calories alone, so be careful. drink slim milk or preferably soy milk. if youre able to exercise it off, go ahead and eat what youre comfortable with. remember burn more calories than you take in. good luck people, these tips helped me alot and i suggest them to anyone who wishes to lose weight. :)

May 23, 2008 - bmi is not completely accurate cuz if ur muscular u will seem to have a higher bmi despite having low fat levels

xXxUK0 Says:

May 24, 2008 - Exactly, BMI does not apply to people lifting weights and bodybuilders. If you calculated BMI of a bodybuilder, he would turn out to be severely obese...

Jun 11, 2008 - There has only been one solution: We must kill the fatties. Kill them all! They provide nothing to society! KILL THEM ALL! SLAUGHTER THE BEASTS! SLICE THEIR THROATS OPEN, GUT THEM LIKE FAT FISH! THEIR TYRANNICAL HOLD ON US IS COMING TO AN END! DESTROY THE FAT DICTATORS! KILL THEM ALL BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!It's patriotic!

Jun 19, 2008 - Soy milk and other soy products are loaded with plant estrogens which PROMOTE weight gain. If you're gonna drink non dairy, chose something OTHER than soy, like almond (low on glycemic index), or rice, or hemp milk.
