I guess junk food + exercise doesn't cut it right? If you exercise your appetite will increase and you will consume even more junk food.

Because if you haven't gone to a school that teaches you about nutrition KFC can be pretty tasty.

I have a friend who lives off KFC, and she's twice my size, and I'm a big girl. I'm actually losing, and she's gaining. The more I think of her, the more I want to follow the Canada Food Guide.

Crappy food is cheaper then food that is good for you. Not sure why.

because life can be so depressing for them the only thing that makes them feel better is to guzzle some cheap takeaways or confectionary.

Rich people can afford dieticians, and tummy tucks, and gastro bypasses, and personal trainers

It's unhealthy though. I am a fit person, I'd like to think.

yeah, but there are the pleasures of food and drink which trump the pleasures of a spinning class, or a marathon.

Fatty and starchy foods are cheaper, look at the fat people in a Walmart and see what they are loading up in there shopping carts. its no big mystery

Well said.

Weight management is almost entirely due to the quantity AND the quality of food intake.

You can do the math quite easily.

There are around 7,700 'calories' per kg of fat or (for Americans) 3500 'calories' per pound of fat.

Going flat out on a cross trainer or a rowing machine for an HOUR will burn at MOST 1,000 calories.

A 90kg person (barely over average in the US) running 10km would burn just 800 calories.

This means that person would have to run 90km to lose 1kg of fat (if they don't change what and how much they send down their throat) :!:

Whatever you EAT today you WEAR tomorrow

Not especially. Excerice, and even orgasms, cause chemicals to be released in the brain that make one feel euphoric.

True, but food offers an steady amount of nice feelings, as opposed to exercise offering torture before the endorphin burst... except for sex I guess
