About 40% of US adults are obese, government survey finds

What? not the one he gave me. I was pleased with being allowed to make sandwiches using meat as the bread for my meat.

I was getting a lot of inflammation in my joints, that was the main issue. Quitting the carbs (quitting sugar was not so bad) made a massive difference. I'm not joking here either, my overall feeling of intelligence shot up, I was seeing trading far far more clearly with no issues from stress.

Just remember that Atkins died of heart disease:

Worth watching:

Obese people are less intelligent and men prone to rages from their testosterone being absorbed by the fat.

Explains it all really.

I have read that overweight and fat does contribute more to less T..... why fat older men are so jolly and easy going......fat turned them into pussies

I'm hitting the scalps with 10s and 20s like never before, all day every day.

I'll buy a Yamaha.

Just don't opt for the economy model that starts up with a pull cord.

Lunch today,

Obviously there are still behavioral issues like I'm one of those jerks that photographs their food now.

Some day I hope to have enough testosterone (and capital) to trade 20 contracts at a pop. Do you think it might be a carb thing?

I think restaurants should have a special section for people like you.

P.S. What's in that little bowl? (I'm guessing that's where the unnecessary calories are hiding.)

Yeah.. pretty awful.

I just had a couple of teaspoons of that, the usual salad dressing though olive oil so allowed.

Americans are fat AF, but the parameters the medical community uses to determine obesity are bullshit. I'm 6'4", 6' 5" on a good day, currently weigh 223lbs and am considered overweight. Nonsense.

Only a tiny bit, that is only just into overweight. But you are right, BMI does not work for many body shapes, I'm 6' 6" again lately (lost a bit with scoliosis but straighter now) and at 290 I'm a lot of muscle and very little fat, around 12%. BMI has me at obese.

My resting heart rate is now 42.

That said, Americans are the heaving trough hogs of the world and it is hard to have sympathy for this self-abuse.
