I am sure this is my antiquated thinking, but I tend to trust the Mayo Clinic. As well as the American Diabetes Association and American Heart Association who advise against this.
Saturated fat. This is a type of fat that comes mainly from animal sources of food. Saturated fat raises total blood cholesterol levels and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, which can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease. Saturated fat may also increase your risk of type 2 diabetes.
https://www.mayoclinic.com/health/fat/NU00262

If you can show me one study that was done that shows a correlation between saturated fat and Coronary Heart Disease I'm up for reading it.

I see the Mayo Clinic didn't provide one.

I'll save you the time and effort and tell you all of their theories are based on the research of Ancel Keys and especially the seven countries study. I have read his work from top to bottom and myself as well as many others have come to the hypothesis that his conclusions are fundamentally flawed.

At present I have loaned out my source material to a GP friend of mine as he as well is doubting what he has been taught. When I get it back I will be happy tp post in greater detail.

but a few pancakes now and again isn't the root cause.

When health deterioration starts a total commitment is required. A few cigarettes now and then won't hurt either however it rarely stops at that does it. Same applies to individuals addicted sugar. Ask them how hard it is to stop eating starchs and sugar laden foods.

My sister had diabetes (Type 1), and my father is now working through his (type 2) through diet and exercise, and this was also one of the motivating factors in getting my own situation back on track 5 years ago.

Whats your experience with diabetes?

My heart and extreme sympathy is extended to your father and sister and I hope that they can live long and productive lives.

As for my experience it seems more than yours. I'm Just not as comfortable as you at displaying myself on an escort board.

Thanks...

Unfortunately, my sister lost her battle almost 19 yrs ago. :frown: And like I said, my father is working through it... He'll be 80 yrs old in a few months and has no plans of passing any inheritance along to any of his children, anytime soon. LOL!

As for your last comment. Fair enough... I guess we'll just have to take your word for it...

If you can walk the walk then judge away.

:roll:

Anyway,

Back to Silly Girl's problems... :tongue:

Anyway,

Back to Silly Girl's problems... :tongue:

Thank you. I was hoping this thread would get back to what's really important...me and my fat ass.

There are puppies at risk, it's a serious situation. :shock:


:tongue:

 

[peace]

Neither, silly. None of the pics I use are me.

I really don't feel well this morning and don't want to go to the gym. I keep reminding myself that it's flabby people who only work out when they feel like it, but so far I'm not very convincing. :no:

 

[Cycleguy007]

I do appreciate your point of view, and your experience has obviously shown you otherwise,

I concur OB...

But, that's the thing about opinions... they are like assholes and everyone has one, and just because one experience differs from the other, doesn't make either of them right or wrong. :great:

 

[Maurice Boscorelli]

I gotta admit, you actually had me looking this up. Even posted a response, then I realized, I'm not a medical researcher and CHD wasn't what was being discussed, so I deleted it.

I noticed this as well but didn't say anything as at least you gave it a go.

I do appreciate your point of view, and your experience has obviously shown you otherwise, but I will continue to follow the advice of the medical professionals and nutritionists I see and observe a low fat diet.

Once I get all of my source materials back I'll PM you and take a shot at convincing you.

Just to complain...

Just to complain...

Delicious things on sale today at my grocery store: pudding, brownie mix, and cupcakes everywhere with soooo much frosting! If I had remembered it's 4/20 today I probably would've brought home a cupcake (at least) to celebrate, but it completely slipped my mind. Kind of ironic, no matter which way you twist it.

I hate the elliptical so much, I've found it's best to go really early and get it over with. Although I should also admit the good things about it...it makes my hip hurt less, and my ass loves it. I can tell because it's not flapping as hard against the back of my knees when I walk. :tongue:

 

[SillyGirl]

Here ya go. :tongue:

Thank you, Peace. I apologize in advance for the Bad Attitude I'm about to unleash.

I'm having a moment of absolute pure frustration right now, because I got on the scale this morning and I've gained a pound since yesterday. I'm not sure why I'm finding this particular pound so infuriating, weight fluctuates all the time and it's perfectly normal...I know this because the last time I lost weight I weighed myself rather obsessively, something I'm trying not to do this time because it just doesn't seem mentally-healthy. Once a day is plenty.

I'm resisting the urge to go the All-Chocolate Diet, which works by making me sick. Diet pills are tempting but I don't trust the OTC ones and no doctor is gonna prescribe anything, I'm not heavy enough for that. There's a little voice in the back of my head suggesting a pack of Newports would be helpful but I'm trying to ignore it.

Normally I'd be done at the gym by now, but after the scale this morning my Hissy Fit and I decided it's a complete waste of time and we're not gonna do that anymore. Which is beyond Stupid, I know. The elliptical really does help my hip, and I want to try the captain's chair for abs...I'd like to keep the 6pack ready just in case I ever lose enough flab for it to show.

pfffft....like that's ever gonna happen. :roll: omg, I'm so discouraged right now.

I think part of the problem might be psychological, you need to reinforce the idea that working out makes you feel healthier and look better. No more putting yourself down with negative pictures even in jest might help.

The idea of rewarding yourself with delicious food which you know is unhealthy is a tough one to change, it's been instilled in us from childhood. It's good to come up with new rewards, preferably ones that are cheap so that leaves out daily escorts - any ideas?

 

[Auggie]

Here's a nice juicy inexpensive reward.

Here's a nice juicy inexpensive reward.

That's funny.

So it took a long walk, 1/2 hour on the elliptical, 240 assorted crunches and some hulahoop to de-crankify myself and get my focus back. I figured out why that one lb. bothered me so much, and it's too long and boring to explain but it made perfect sense.

I need to learn patience. and continue to remember that junk is like cigarettes...a little doesn't make you feel any better, it just makes you want more. There's no point.

Oh and I tried the captains chair thing, it was harder than I remember.

Auggie you're right about needing to find healthier rewards. And the pics are for laughs...and seriously, if I hypothetically actually had an amazing ass, there wouldn't be any point in telling you all that. You'd just want pics. :no:

:tongue:

Hypothetical or not, we still want pics anyway

Here ya go...my completely-hypothetical ass. Not bad, if I do say so myself. :tongue:

So does it bother men to be ogled in the gym? EyeCandy was doing upper-body stuff when I got there this morning, yum yum yum. I was of course perfectly discreet, or as discreet as a girl can be while creaming herself.
