    i totally agree with mensacyclist. unfortunately, we are swamped with advertising of this junk and ignorant people believe that poptarts and turkey twislers are normal.

  5. mensacyclist says:

    Obesity is not …
    Obesity is not caused by too much food! Obesity is caused by eating to much GARBAGE that is considered to be food when in reality it is poison. Is anyone obese from eating too many apples or chicken breasts? Of course not. Obesity has skyrocketed in the last 25 years. It’s no coincidence that the intake of sugar and processed “food” has also skyrocketed in that same timeframe. When we live in a time where Poptarts are considerd to be food, obesity is the only possible outcome.

    if it was as easy as you all suggest everyone would be slim. it is the underlying thought processes that prevent individuals from losing weight. It is not as as to pick up a carrot. I do that too but I also pick up the packet of twinkies and feed my emotions.

    1 cola contains 150 calories.
    150 calories x 365 days = 54,750 calories ÷ 3,500 (calories per pound of fat) = 15.64 pounds per year

    Next time, try water!
    Universal beverage of both man and beast.

    EVERYONE LISTEN I HAVE THE WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT its simple yet some how hard for people to figure out now read this comment and really let these words soak in the ways to lose weight is PUT DOWN THE TWINKY AND PICK UP A FRIGGIN CARROT STICK

    Serious solution? …
    Serious solution? Grow a vegie garden and eat seasonaly. Give up soda drinks, alcohol, confectionaries or anything that contains lots of sugar. Cut everything you would normally eat by half and you don’t have to go to the gym to exercise – try riding a bike or walking up hills or swimming.

    exercise combined …
    exercise combined with eating healthy.

    Keep in mind BMI isn’t always the most accurate – it doesn’t account for muscle mass, which weighs more than fatty tissue.

    But basically… exercise is your best option. If you burn more calories than you take in, you’ll lose weight.

    My current BMI is …
    My current BMI is 21,5 and I have made the decision that it should stay that way. I weigh 143 pounds and I’m 5’8,5″ tall at the age of 16.
    I refuse to become overweight, but I will not obsess over my weight, like my mother does…

    Well, there’s many ways, but excercise would be good, yes
