Oh now a new weight loss/cold antiviral all in one medicine on the way. Sorry I don't believe everything I read from the medical community. Now that is something I unfortunately know a little about.
 
I achoo believe that, sniffle, excuse me while I heat up another cinnamon bun, would you? chomp chomp oh, and is that a cinnamon dolce latte? heavy on the whipped cream? Yup, that makes slurp sense to me. Knew I wasn't responsible for getting chubby when I quit smoking! pass that chocolate bar and the kleenex over my way, would you? :rolleyes:
 
Some people get it when the mother gets sick, and it is passed down.

It's why some people in the family are fat, and some are not. All it takes is for the mother to get a cold, and BAM, the child will be fat.

It's amazing, because when I had to take Anti-Biotics for a bad tooth, I dropped like 30 lbs. Not because it made me ill, but for the simple fact that the ingrown bacteria that was doing due dilligence in my digestive tract were destroyed.

I then took this supplement from GNC to detoxify my digestive tract, and the first thing you take, is a low grade anti-biotic that kills all the crap in your digestive tract. Sure enough, the same thing happened. Dropped weight FAST.

The problem, is that over time they become resistant.

I am thinking that there is a possibility that we could eventually immunize people for obesity.

I know I would LOVE to never have to hit the gym.
 
I thought this was a joke site at first. So this is just in the UK and not US? If so, surprising.

I took a pill called Remoron years ago. Made me gain a lot of weight. I was way underweight though so it was mostly a good thing. It made me eat like crazy. I'm no longer on the drug, and can't seem to drop the weight. I'd like to drop some of it.

There still no good pill for weight loss? I'm pretty sure there isn't or I wouldn't see so many overweight people lol, but doesn't hurt to ask I hope.
 
I had a few chubby years in junior high, very fun time to have anything going on, but have not had a weight issue ever since. I don't think there is an easy cure to obesity. I was objecting to the idea of a cold-like virus causing obesity on the simple reason that I just don't believe it. It is too simplistic.

I am kind of caught in the medical system so I have read more health and diet related books and articles then UFO material if that gives you any idea. For me eating a lot of organic products and tons of good water helps with just about anything. Taking long walks is something I feel I have and want to do vs going to the gym which I would hate. Also lots of supplements help too. I am talking about health in general not just weight however if the focus is health in general the weight seems to become normal all on it's own. I know there are exceptions.
 
I was obese as a child. I solved the problem with a good diet and exercise and my weight is now within five pounds of what it was when I was 18 -- long, long ago in a ... no not that.

Anyway, I'm always skeptical about the medical-development-of-the-day, because most times it turns out to be a fantasy, or just some cable news talking head getting some basic facts all wrong.

But I remain curious.

Yes, and I'm guessing if you look into the research this story is based on, it's likely funded by a drug company with something to flog. 99% of all academic research is tied to grants from somebody with a vested interest in a specific result, I'm betting it was paid for by the "Achoo-BlessYou, and Weightloss Pharma Ltd."

I too remain skeptical, but hopeful. ::)
 
A friend of my family wanted to lose weight real fast in a month. Doctor told her to eat nothing white (includes cheeses) and not drink alcohol. She lost a nice amount of weight.

Booze have a lot of calories, or does it do something that slows metabolism? Or both? Well, I know beer has a lot of calories, but she drank wine and mixed drinks etc. I drink Gin or tequila, never recall seeing any calorie info. on the bottle.
 
I would love to pop a pill and take off the multitude of pounds gained in the 13 years of non-smoking. I know I could start up tomorrow and lose it all in 6 months. But I am healthier big, than I would be small and smokin... Not that I would say no to being small and smokin', but in an entirely different sense than cigarette smokin'.

There are lots of folks like me out there who don't chow down on a couple of buffets' worth of food everyday, yet still stay fat/chubby, whatever you want to call it. And we go to the gym, and we watch what we eat when we indulge, etc. Well, they do. I am giving up.

It would be wonderful to think a darn virus/bug caused this to happen to us. Bring on the skinny pill!
 
I guess my point was that our society has an unrealistic ideal for women to live up to. If you are healthy that should be what counts. Now I am sounding like I am preaching! Didn't mean to put words in your mouth.
 
Most women look good with a few extra pounds. I don't find women with better muscle tone than I have attractive.

Women who look like women are supposed to, are much more appealing, because chances are they have less inhibitions than those who are working out 6 days a week so they can feel good about themselves.

Real men love real women.

Period.
