fat people

[upyourbumno1]

do they eat to much?

[bernardo]

Yes, as Jaspar Carrott explained.

I'm fat and yes its simply because I eat too much. There are reasons that make people large but on the whole if you dont eat 45 cakes then you wont be fat.

[darth vader]

Yes. If the calorific input is greater than the calorific output then a person will gain weight, so a person who is gaining in weight is eating too much. This is a bit generalistic though.

I hardly eat a thing all day and when I do it is normally something light like salad - but I have been putting on weight am very lethargic. I have recently been diagnosed as having an underactive thyroid and will now be on thyroxine for life. Hopefully it will work soon and give me back the energy to get fit again.....

Coggles, I sympathize. Yes. That is, too much to burn off. Here's the thing that I've experienced; When I'm heavier, I have much less energy. When I have less energy, I don't exercise, and I eat more and get even heavier and am even more exhausted. Sometimes I am so lazy that in order to make myself go out, I have to make sure that I buy only a couple of days worth of food, so that I'll have to go out again. Exercise feels good, and give you ENERGY. Anything outdoors even the easiest stuff, and especially walking (you don't need much). Exercise oxygenates the blood, and reduces the stress hormone cortisol. You've probably already read about the endorphins. Just remember to take it easy at first and enjoy it. Exercise will help your thyroid towards it's health,and exercise speeds up the way we burn calories even while we're resting. In summary; burning more will help. Don't forget that serious eaters are often malnourished at the same time. And, by the way, upyourbumno1, YOUR exercise might improve your general outlook towards other human-beans, and exercise invested towards education might help you to spell too.
