Guy Drops 100lbs After Seeing Himself on Google

[lejay]

[citation][nom]loomis86[/nom]Not quite that simple. The truth is NO ONE can exercise enough(not counting teens and early 20s) to burn that many calories. You must eat less. When I was in my early twenties I ate over 5000 calories a day without gaining weight, but I was functioning at a level of physical activity fewer than 2% will ever EVER experience. When you reach the ripe old age of 30, it's just not possible anymore. Your metabolism(body's rate of repairing itself) is no longer fast enough to keep up with the wear and tear. You will literally wear out all your cartilage/ligaments/tendons if you try.When you get to be as old as this guy in this article, the exercise becomes merely a means of limiting the muscle loss from dieting...it has virtually NO EFFECT on fat loss...fat loss all comes from the dieting.[/citation]
If you eat 0 calories, you cant burn enough to burn 0 calories? what are you talking about?

If I'm lucky street view will get a glance at my girlfriend's chest.

[citation][nom]scook9[/nom]You really do not know much at all about dieting or exercising......if you do all that work and do not eat well/enough you can actually gain weight (and not in a good way)I guess you have an axe to grind against fat people but your post generally offended me and I am in great shape (although not as good as freshman year of college )[/citation]

More work = More results.

Well done Mr. Mewse!

[citation][nom]osxsier[/nom]I love how everyone here is all of the sudden an expert in weight loss. I might actually believe some of you clowns if I didn't know better. But considering this is a tech site, most of you are probably fat as it is.Here is some advice for you. Take your own damn advice and stop trying to put others down because your self esteem is low.[/citation]

It doesn't take much to understand weight loss, everyone IS an expert. Your body must burn more energy then it takes in to lose weight. This simply means your body will find other resources to get the energy it needs (like fat, and muscle). You can choose to eat 1 meal a day, or you can choose to eat 3 good meals a day and keep it under 2500 Calories while maintaining a decent activity level. Your body will be in perfect running condition.

I'm sure we've all done the research, its very simple and basic. But the hardest thing to do is to cut the eating habit and maintain a healthy eating habit. Years of eating w/e the hell you want is very hard to cut back on.

 

[pepperman]

[citation][nom]dallaswits[/nom]I dropped from 245 pounds to 140 in one year.I did this by quiting Soda's, fried foods, and red meat.Also the average american should really eat about 1200 calories a day, NOT 2000 or more...[/citation]

1200 calories per day would cause a 5'10" male who weighs 41kg (~90lbs) to lose weight... Most experts would consider that to be a very unhealthy weight to begin with. You do need more calories than that, even if you are exercising, otherwise you will literally waste away to nothing.

You can't burn more calories than you intake and expect to survive; your body uses energy just maintain itself (circulatory system, digestion, cell division, etc.). Treating this problem as such a simplistic equation doesn't work.

Lol, I was thinking of posting something about his post too. The average american isn't a 4 foot 12 year old girl. I currently burn 4000 calories per day (roughly), and I don't do any more work than any other average American. The average American should really eat 1200 calories a MEAL, not a day.

Knowing what needs to be done and actually making the time to do it every day are two entirely different problems. It's too easy to get caught up in every day challenges and forget to make healthy choices. It took being stuck in a hotel for 3 months to motivate me to go to the basement and use their gym, pool & sauna. I lost at least 14 pounds in 3 months (without any dieting) but gained it back when I moved out and returned to my regular routine. I know what I need to do, but it'll probably take seeing my image in profile on google street view to jolt me back into a gym.

 

[calmstateofmind]

Good news!

 

[mamac123]

How many calories would he burned of masterbating everyday lol?

 

[LePhuronn]

I'm more dumbstruck that he's just down the road from my mum.

I can hear his accent now, arr me luverrr ;-)

 

[mustbhacks]

[citation][nom]sacre[/nom]"If I can do it, anybody can" Funny how they all say that after they lost the weight. Before they lost the weight i'm sure they were telling people who said that to go F--k themselves. People Gain weight because they eat, and not move much, and to lose it you have to maintain a low level of calorie input per day, BELOW 2500. Ice cream, Pop, Cakes, Chocolate bars.. Plus Supper, and Breakfast, and Lunch, and the Second servings of Supper. All this adds up quick, 1 serving of an average supper/dinner meal is around 800-1000 calories. A bowl of ice cream is around 800 calories, a chocolate bar is around 300-500, pop is 800. It adds up very quickly.So you want to lose weight, Eat less. And if you don't want to eat less, Exercise a LOT. And if you don't want to exercise, than live with your lack of self control. If you enjoy life being big, All the power to you, life is meant to be enjoyed. As for this fella, 100 pounds is a Shit ton of weight. But unless he did it right, he may gain it all back, I hope he doesn't.[/citation]

12oz can of Mt.dew is 160 cal... what soda do you drink that's 800!?

It'd take about 3 scoops of Baskin Robbins Ice cream to = 800 cal, and their stuff is notoriously fatty.

and a standard Snickers bar is only about 275 cal...

You can eat TONS of junk food and stay below 2500 calories easily.

 

[bustapr]

so if street view passes by me and I see how skinny I am on google maps, will I be motivated to put on more weight? But I eat like a cow already...

 

[nebun]

funny

 

[dallaswits]

1200 calories is about what the average office worker uses in a 24 hour period.
The average Marine might burn 4500.
While a person who work out lightly might burn 2k - 3k over the course of a normal day.

I say that because there are several other countries in which these things are taught in grade school.

The fact is that Americans need to drastically reduce their daily intake of food.
And increase there daily exercise.

A good sweet spot is 6 hours exercise a week, and to consume about 1800 calories a day.
Do this until you hit your target weight.
Then SLOWLY increase your daily caloric intake until you reach a point of sustainability.
The smaller the delta, the more healthy you will be and "perhaps" the longer you will live,

What kind of American is this guy? As far as I know, in a situation like this, you're supposed to either sue someone or go on Oprah. What gives?

Congrats to Mewse! Without excuses he took charge of this health and lifestyle and I wish him continued success. Also weight loss is very simple: Eat less and Move More. It is our choices and excuses that make it more difficult.

Seriously, not all fat people are fat because they eat too much, psychic state and your body have a lot to say to it. There are millions of people gaining weight which eat less then average person. Part of problem is increasing amount of stress in work and your life and also all that crap they started to add to food, its now almost impossible to eat healthy because either you cant find good food when you need it or its too expensive and you cant afford it.

No one should choose to eat one meal a day. That's extremely unhealthy (and a contributing factor to why my Uncle has diabetes). You should eat at least three meals a day, and make sure to eat breakfast. The 'math' of losing weight is simple, but actually losing it is not.

Please stop acting like fat people are stupid.

 

[scook9]

People are very ignorant when they say it is as simple as burning more calories than you eat.....there are factors at play like your regular metabolic processes. For example, if you eat too little, your body goes in to emergency mode and retains a higher percentage of matter than it normally would. This results in weight gain despite a lowered intake.

And 100x more important than how much you eat, is what you eat. Ever met someone who got fat off of vegetables? (not fruit, because they contain MUCH more sugar and less of other nutrients compared to vegetables)
