Thread: I can't stop eating!!

I am getting fat. I just cannot stop eating!

Just reach for an apple when you're hungry... you can't get fat off of fruit and veggies. ;0)

I quit smoking six weeks ago. Been eating anything and everything I can get my hands on. Bummer.

Actually you can get fat off fruit and veg. There was this humgo guy who kept complaining he was fat but couldn't understand why as he ate 30 oranges a day.

Find something to keep you busy, really busy. That always helps. Whatever you do, don't simply sit around and allow the munchies to take control.

go on the neanderthal meat diet. i know a couple guys that did it. that lost all kinds of weight and could eat however much they wanted.
it's pretty strict though, in the way that you really can't eat hardly anything other than meat.

There was a study about this, a diet of meat and fat.

Two Brave Men Who Ate Nothing But Meat for an Entire Year

me and you's in the same boat. well, i really don't care about gaining weight anymore....but my metabolism renders me pretty much as
thin at 43 as i was at 15. it pisses my wife off to no end. i can eat the most unhealthy and caloric garbage all day long and never gain a pound.

My best friend did the NO carb diet. She ate nothing but meat, meat, eggs, meat and more meat.

She lost something like 60 pounds in a matter of a short few months. But wow was she sick. She got the shakes, constant headaches, her back hurt and she had chronic pains in her joints. Oh yes, lest I forget how she practically LIVED in the washroom.

She was taking other supplements, trying to take the place of the nutrients and vitamins she was missing from the foods she had cut out. That alone caused her to have problems with her pancreas and her liver. She got very ill. It also gave her problems with gallbladder to where she had to have it surgically removed from gallstones.

I'd just stick to eating heathy and staying active with exercise.

It's not one of those no carb diets, read the article, the guys who did it got the same symptoms then they increased the amount of fat they ate. They are arguing that your body can make what it needs from just eating meat and meat fat, but not the lean meat that you strip off all fats. She probably did just that which made her body fail as it wasn't getting enough from lean meat alone.

I have lost 35 pounds since May. I actually have gone down a pants size. My secret is to eat things I detest. At present I am on a diet of extreme right and left wingers.

I think you're talking about the paleo diet. You're also supposed to eat certain vegetables like carrots, cabbage, broccoli -- but not legumes or starchy root vegetables like potatoes. You can eat some fruits and nuts and seeds also. No grains. No dairy. No processed foods. Supposedly, you try to eat foods similar to meat and wild plants eaten by hunter gatherers in the paleolithic era.

It's just like most fad diets that require eating very specific foods in specific ratios. You don't really learn how to eat a balanced diet or change your eating habits in way that you can live with in the long run. People lose weight, then they get tired of it and the weight goes right back on.

is that one recent? i think i've heard of that one, too. but the one i'm talking about was more popular like late 1990's and early 2000's.
it was more like you couldn't eat anything but meat at all, or it would screw up the whole metabolic balance or whatever. i can't remember.
i just remember a couple people i knew were on it and they dropped weight and bragged how they could eat till they were full all day long.

I think the paleo diet has only been around a few years. The Atkins Diet was really popular then -- that's a really low carb, high protein diet.
