Seriously, how is anyone dumb enough to be fat?

I honestly believe for many people it is a metabolism thing whereby they do not know how to adjust, and that is how the weight gets out of control. When one is younger, most people have high metabolisms which allow them to do the minimal amount of worrying about their weight while being able to eat like pigs and drink alcohol in excess. When my metabolism began to slow down in my thirties, I honestly thought I could remain in front of my computer all the time and not have to worry about working out. That is how my weight got out of control. My weight has been going up and down the these past few years, and I am currently in the process of losing weight again. My stomach is getting smaller and I am almost at the desired weight I need to be.

It also helps that I actively ran cross-country and track when I was younger and throughout my life, because that is honestly the only way I can lose weight. I tried the gym experience, but I only lost a couple of pounds during the months I was working out. The reason for that is because gym workouts tend to turn fat into muscle, which was not making me lose weight whatsoever, while jogging actually does shed the pounds.

Everyone is different, of course. Some people do have glandular problems which makes their weight get out of control, though I admit that for most people it is is either pure laziness or the inability to know what to do when their metabolisms change.

Also, diet does play a role, though not for everyone. It is stated that one must always eat three square meals a day, but even while working out eating that much is not going to help shed the pounds. One must eat healthier, but also less than what is supposedly recommended by the so-called experts. One cannot eat more calories than one loses during workout, and eating three meals a day tends to add up to more calories than one loses during daily workouts. I have been eating one small meal a day while drinking lots of water while also trying to jog daily, and that is how I have been losing weight.

Time management can also be a problem, especially when one works too much to have the time to workout.

Such odd advice. If you are working out daily and being physically active then one small meal a day won't cut it. I eat several times a day a few small meals and snacks. You can technically lose the weight by creating a deficit which is difficult,, or eat throughout the day and only eat what your RMR requires, while also working out. Honestly...i burn about 500 calories in the workout but I do mostly strength training
My body wouldn't function with less than 500 cals a day. I eat between 1200 and 1500 and I'm closer to that 6 pack I've wanted than I have ever been before. Yes muscle weighs more than fat but it looks a shit load better than fat too. People are so concerned with what the scale says that they lose sight of everything else and starve themselves until they look sick. I've never seen anyone workout so much they look sick...maybe ripped though. It's actually a bad idea to work out on a completely empty stomach which it sounds like you have most of the time. Plus a majority of people don't like healthy food. The best stuff to eat is what the earth gives you in raw form. Minus meat, cook your damn meat.
