I'm a vegetarian & he trys to be as much as possible. We eat healthy, he's not a couch potato, but doesn't really exercise, however he goes up and down a couple pounds with no real success. <BR/><BR/>I think I'll get this report and see what it has to say.<BR/>Thank you Heidi for your informative post!<BR/>☼ RockiRocki Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12275869389806600804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4244334257315348958.post-6811485163312141742008-07-04T11:36:00.000-07:002008-07-04T11:36:00.000-07:00I still say it's all part of the over loaded grain...I still say it's all part of the over loaded grain carbs government conspiracy food pyramid.

I do believe some things work for some people and not the others. <BR/><BR/>I simply added some exercise to my daily habits and continue to eat the same as always.

You nailed this right on the head and it's great to see because we've talked about it before -- it's not necessarily the quantity of calories that counts, it IS the QUALITY that's significant. Poor quality (or poor macronutrient choices based on your metabolic type) begets poor structure, begets poor function. . . begets poor health.<BR/><BR/>The most significant "villain" in this whole saga? Carbohydrates -- processed, high starch, high sugar carbohydrates in particular.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4244334257315348958.post-22236143069677791452008-07-03T18:19:00.000-07:002008-07-03T18:19:00.000-07:00I just sent out for the report i'd like to see wha...I just sent out for the report i'd like to see what it says.

More calories in than out.<BR/><BR/>However, many overweight adults do eat less than you'd expert but it's the quality of the food they eat. Which brings up a good point in your bullet points.<BR/><BR/>For example, #2 could be expanded to say that some people who are overweight consume fewer calories than normal weight people but the calories they consume are really poor, e.g. 2 bags of cotton candy a day as opposed to a couple servings of brown rice, some lightly steamed vegetables and a bowl of fruit.<BR/><BR/>Both statements are true if not taken out of context. It's not an either or but a combination that is contributing to unhealthy lifestyles in general.<BR/><BR/>Interesting post! Brings up some nice topics for discussion for sure.User1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07133546145263538257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4244334257315348958.post-77015791811580666812008-07-03T11:53:00.000-07:002008-07-03T11:53:00.000-07:00I've read this report and it's all you say it is. ...I've read this report and it's all you say it is.

I also believe that overweight people tend to eat fewer calories than those who are not. I think a lot of this is due to metablolism. (So it's not all their fault!) I think it also has to do with activity level. It seems that once someone has gained weight, they don't seem to need to continue the overeating that got them to that weight.<BR/>It's only my opinion though! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4244334257315348958.post-52811981958059925772008-07-03T02:03:00.000-07:002008-07-03T02:03:00.000-07:00Amazing yet not surprising.
