When I noticed myself porking up I changed my eating habits away from "cake every day" to "no cake at all" by not buying cake. Really when you're hungry you'll just eat whatever is in the kitchen. If you fill it with healthy food that you like it's hard to eat badly. If you have 12 boxes of snack cakes, ten pounds of chips, and a refrigerator full of nothing but chocolate and whipped cream take a wild guess what you'll be having for dinner. I primarily changed my eating habits by just not buying so much crap. I also bought a wok and learned how to stir fry. poo poo's good, yo.

However, that works OK for a single person and/or someone living with people or another person who have the same habits that they're trying to adopt and stick to.

Especially if you do tabletop gaming or other nerdy stuff. When I used to hang at the local comic/gaming shop and play games there a few nights a week, food would be ordered all the time and you have constant cash-wrap stank availability. It's really tough being around food that you can't have, especially if it's your favorite stuff.

Quest bars are delicious. Broccoli and chicken are both delicious. The problem with diets consisting of one of these only is that they are not personally sustainable. You aren't going to go the rest of your life eating only one thing, so when you finally break, what do you choose instead? People need to learn how to cook a variety of healthy food, so eating healthy isn't a punishment of eating bland. I think a big part of this is spices. I feel like people don't experiment with spices enough, which can completely change a dish without adding any calories. A good, well stocked beginner spice wrack and some basic instructions (or being adventurous if you can afford to have food be bad) can go a long way.

I don't dispute any of that but I think a lot of people, maybe most people (and not necessarily you), believe that "lol just cook healthy foods and make them taste good" is useful advice for fat people. Yes, of course chicken and broccoli can be delicious but you need to actually know how to cook well in order to make them so. That's not something everyone knows how to do. Maybe "disgusted by chicken and broccoli" dude doesn't know how to cook so to him chicken and broccoli are just terrible forever. There is absolutely no one-size-fits-all advice or method for anyone. You have to figure out where people are starting in order to give them a map to the finish line. It's part emotional and mental battle, part physical battle, and part habit forming and skills acquisition. I've told people what to do in order to lose weight - different diets I've done that have worked, different workout routines, etc. - and they've seen me do it and seen that it's worked for me. Most of them just never tried or tried and quit and I'm not surprised. Dieting and exercising enough to make meaningful progress just makes the rest of our modern life 10,000 times more difficult. Hell, I can only imagine if I had kids and I was trying to do it. If it was easy everyone would do it and we wouldn't even be talking about it. Also, I think a big reason we have an obesity problem is because modern life is filled with more food, more stress, less personal time, higher cost of living, and lower wages than times before. You have all these forces acting on you all the time and then you have constant availability of food and of course a lot of us use that as our outlet.

To the surprise of no one, Gluten-free sports diets do nothing, study suggests. I literally eat chicken breast and broccoli sometimes. When I'm lazy and/or short on time, the chicken is baked and broccoli steamed. It's the blandest possible option but is edible for a quick lunch at work with a bit of sriracha. With a bit more effort it's very easy to make something with actual taste too. Coat the chicken in something (cornflakes?) and sautee some random veggies with some spices and stock. Done. While this stuff isn't magic, I found that for me it's difficult, if not impossible, to eat too much of this stuff - sometimes I'd have trouble finishing a larger breast event. And that's like 500 calories total, while I could easily finish off a big mac meal and then have a donut too. But of course the fatties can just eat 3 breasts, as was pointed out, but they can eat a lot of anything, like maybe even 5 heads of broccoli for 700 calories?? I don't want to even say it out loud, but the trick seems to be pretty simple. mobby_6kl fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Jan 21, 2016 |

Maybe your math is just off, but people in general seem to be massively underestimating how much food a person can eat if they put their mind to it. I was just ballparking the calories based on remembering the nutritional details. Also, I think we're talking about different types of people here. I am talking about the general fat person, like myself, and not Mongo the Overlord of Fat, Winner of Eating Contests, Devourer of Orphans. The point stands that it's a lot loving harder to down 1000 calories of grilled steak or chicken than it is to down 1000 calories of Pizza. I think people are underestimating just how many calories are in things like Pizza or Pasta and just how easy it is to overeat them. But, you know, let's all pretend fat folks are getting fat off of grilled, lean steak and chicken rather than candy, ice cream, pizza rolls, cheetos, mountain dew, tacos and pizza, because one time Fishmech saw someone in his school cafeteria gorging on grilled chicken.

I remember trying to lose weight myself and being terrified to eat anything because "OMG everything has calories it will all make me fat, I can only have this one low calorie thing" when no, eating a variety of food that tastes good is totally possible. Learning that low calorie cooking can be both easy and delicious opens a lot of doors and helps dispel the eat only one thing diets people fall victim to.

twodot posted:I mean yes, whatever platonic ideal of pizza you have in your head is probably less calorie dense than whatever platonic ideal of chicken you have in your head, actual preparations will vary. The point is if your arguing that it's hard to overeat certain foods while simultaneously claiming to be able to eat a large amount of food while also saying it's hard for you to eat a small amount of food your argument has a problem. If you had something other than your anecdote about how much steak or chicken you personally eat you might be ok, but right now you're claiming to be an authority when you transparently aren't. I guess you don't understand what I'm saying and instead, like Fishmech, just want to be pedantic in order to win an argument on the internet, or at least make the other people give up trying to disagree with you. My assertion is that it is easier to, and more likely that you will, eat 1000 calories of pizza or pasta - let's say from Pizza Hut, for the sake of argument - before you'll ever do the same with spinach, grilled chicken, etc. If you think people are getting fat from eating grilled chicken and broccoli you're a loving idiot and not worth talking to. gently caress you; I'm out. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-does-200-calories-look-like.htm Huzanko fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Jan 21, 2016 |

This sort of steak house is absolutely a sort of place that people go specifically to get large amounts of food that's true. The average steak size might be significantly lower accounting for other sorts of restaurants/home cooking, but that's not relevant to the point. If you say "I can eat a lot of food, but I can barely get through 2/3 of a standard portion from a place that specifically serves people who eat a lot" or "I can eat a lot of food, but the double at Heart Attack Grill is plenty for me!" you have the same problem. The main difference (aside from quality) is that at certain point the Heart Attack Grill's menu becomes a joke, but John Howie offering a $94 40oz Porterhouse isn't a joke (though it does appear to be an upsell tactic). twodot fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Jan 22, 2016 |

Also, never did I say I've done it every day or that I do it now. What about that means that I don't know what I'm talking about? Just face it. People aren't getting fat off of grilled chicken and broccoli. It's certainly not impossible to overeat grilled chicken and broccoli and then gain weight doing so but it's highly irregular and unlikely that it's what has led to someone becoming fat. It's OK, you can admit that you're wrong sometimes but you won't because you're Fishmech and you've been probated and banned tons of times for being a pedantic dipshit, which is totally your gimmick and we both know it - you do it all day in different threads. It's like a hobby and/or game for you. An ARG where you see how much time you can get everyone to waste on you. "Eat less" is not good dieting advice. It's dumb dieting advice skinny people give to fat people. The connotation is "lol dumbass why not just eat less?!?! It's easy!" Also, I never said it was impossible for people to eat pounds of meat or whatever it is you're saying. I am saying it's easier to mow through 1000 calories of things like pizza, pasta, etc. than it is to do the same with lean meats. But, I totally get it, you just want to win and be right and no one's experience matters. One time you saw some fat guy eat a ton of chicken somewhere and thought to your idiot self "Ah, surely, that is why that man is fat. That must be why all people are fat! I hold the secret!"

Also, re: chicken vs. pizza That's 6.25 lbs of chicken compared to a large pizza. It's much easier to eat a large pizza in a sitting vs. 6.25 lbs. of chicken and if you don't think so you're living in a loving dream world. Also, if you were eating 6.25 lbs. of chicken you probably wouldn't eat it all at once if you even ate all of it. However, I have eaten a whole pizza in one sitting and gone on to eat more later on in the day and I've known a lot of people who have done the same. But, nevermind, I am the guy who doesn't know anything about anyone's eating habits. L8r dudes.

I feel like you two are talking around each other and aren't actually disagreeing. Eating a whole pizza in one sitting is easier than eating 6lbs of chicken in one sitting. This is true. If you misjudge the calories in a portion then you are not accurately judging how much you are eating, and can easily go over any calorie budget you may give yourself. This is also true. Just because you eat a lot or have lost a lot or have always been rail thin, doesn't mean that you are a perfect accurate measure of the number of calories in an item. Ballparking calories can be dangerous to weight loss since it's really easy to underestimate what you are consuming. That said, if you have a little more of something that has a lot of calories per weight then you'll be further off from your goal then if you misjudge something that has fewer calories per weight.

Also, I was never saying that anyone should ballpark anything when trying to lose weight. I count all my calories on MyFitnesspal and I used FitDay the first time I lost a lot of weight. My Pizza v. Chicken point was intended to disagree with Fishmech's assertion that it was somehow common that people were getting fat from eating grilled chicken and broccoli which just isn't true. You can become overweight by over-eating any food but it is unlikely that you will do so if you're eating "healthy" foods all the time. And, yes, anything you do in order to lose weight will involve eating less but the base advice of "eat less" is useless. It's completely and totally obvious and is part and parcel to any decent diet. If someone's diet consists of chips, pizza, mountain dew, and M&Ms, "eat less" is really stupid useless advice for them.

Your pigheaded belief in the concept of "healthy food", and that fat people aren't eating foods you deem "healthy" is why you have no understanding of how people get fat.

So if Fatty McFatterson the 350lb man was eating 9000 calories per day and ATE LESS, cutting down to 7000 calories per day, how fast would he lose weight? Before you say that he's doing it wrong, and there is slightly more to doing it correctly, I'd like to remind you that fishmech posted:It is again, not incomplete. You're overthinking things in a stupid way, to demand that there be more to it.

So I get that you're pretending(?) to be extremely stupid, but the eat less solution is to continue to eat less until you're losing weight. It's really simple. If you stop losing weight for a while then just eat less again!

ToxicSlurpee posted:There's also multiple kinds of vegetables so if you don't like broccoli you can just like, you know, eat something else. This idea that healthy eating = broccoli is absurd. This guy... it's like impossible. He complains so loud that we all feel compelled to say something, so we give him unwanted advice and then he retorts with why this or that doesn't work. But he's bent on eating stuff he doesn't like, or approaching it already thinking he's not going to like it. His wife can cook just fine. She made lemon/garlic chicken today and it smelled good. Without tasting it he poured Tapatio all over it while laughing loudly. Okay duder. His snack today was white-chocolate chips. Well, they were pink, I think leftover from the baby shower. Ugh. I take it back about the broccoli. I misremembered. I was eating broccoli and another coworker was eating asparagus. He made gagging sounds and complained about the smell. I don't think he's ever eaten broccoli. I saw something green on his plate once...maybe it was just lettuce. Oh, and earlier this week he brought in a loaf of white bread and made a tripple decker sandwich while heckling our resident keto-guy. Now that I type this out...I'm realizing this guy is really obnoxious. Ask me about him five minutes ago and I would tell you I thought he was great. I usually like working with him, but lately he's just crabby and short and whiny. He also has IBS. He doesn't even look fat, but he is not well. silence_kit posted:Saying that in order to diet you have to live the life of an ascetic monk is going a little overboard. A lot of the posters in SA's fitness forum are ex-fat kids, and they don't seem to be constantly unhappy about not being able to scarf down junk food all the time like they used to. A lot of them don't live on diets of only chicken breast and broccoli too.

fishmech posted:It is correct that your experience that you can shovel a whole bunch of pizza in your mouth and don't want to do the same for chicken is irrelevant. So stop saying it. The same is true at a population level. Calorie for calorie, chicken breast is more satiating than pizza. It may or may not be universal, but it certainly is true for the majority.
