Your Questions About Chemicals That Make You Fat
Sandra asks…
Whats the secret of all those commercial diets (nutrisystem)? Do they just give low calories or use chemicals?
Just wondering what it is about diet programs that actually give you food like nutrisystem. Do they put some weird chemical that makes fat burn faster or something?
If it is just low calories, could I just be on a vegan diet + exersize and lose the same amount of weight and not wasting as much money?
admin answers:
The thing with nurtisystem is that it is convenient and teaches portion size! My FIL has lost at least 60 pounds with it, and he fully admits that he’s too lazy to do the correct portion sizes himself. There are no chemicals or pills.
I think Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers are about portion control too. So many people DONT know what a true serving size is that these *gimmicks* teach people the correct way to eat. Plus with the prepackaged food it’s easier.
You could go vegan, if it’s what suits you, but you can still incorporate fat free dairy, lean chicken and turkey (cow too), and tons of fruits and veggies, and lose all the weight you need, as long as you dont overeat
Exercise is an equal component that not only helps you lose weight, but helps keep it off. Plus, not to be glib, it’s really good for you too!
George asks…
Has anyone ever heard of how the food industry is putting chemicals in our food to make us fat?
About five years ago I read this book titled Natural Cures THEY don’t want you to know about, by Kevin Trudeau. A lot of people think this guy is a jerk, but much of the info in his book is actually useful. Like using magnetic rings to reverse or slow down the aging process. But anyways, he mentions how the food industry is putting chemicals in our food deliberately on purpose, with the fullest intention to make us all overweight, and that these chemicals are politely referred to as SPICES or SPICE. Even if what he is saying is true, I really think that it will ultimately just make people even more paranoid. As if the people in this country need to be any more crazy. I would really like an opinion from as many as possible. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

MAGNETIC RINGS!!???!!??!!???

Trudeau has been convicted of fraud. All of his stuff is total nonsense.

Betty asks…
Does diet soda make you fat or is it really good for weight loss?
We all know by now that soda (aka “pop” in some areas) is one of the most evil things you can put in your body…
The nasty chemicals, the gut-fattening high fructose corn syrup, and a myriad of health problems caused by this carbonated cocktail worshipped by those that don’t care about their health or body.
So, do you think that diet soda can be any better for you?
admin answers:
Diet soda won’t make you gain weight, but it will impede weight loss efforts, as artificial sugar is perceived to be real sugar by the endocrine system, which reacts the same. If you are constantly screwing with your blood sugar levels, your weight loss will be slower.
It has apparently also been shown in studies that those who consume one diet soda per day weigh more than those who consume no soda of any kind. There could be another factor at play, such as healthier overall lifestyles of those who drink no soda of any kind.
Carbonation is said to suck phosphorous out of bones.
Splenda is said to turn to chlorine in the body.
Aspartame and the rest may cause cancer (in lab rats, at very heavy doses)
Many of those who answer will disagree, but I do think it is better than regular soda. Sugar is like satan to our bodies. But it’s still unhealthy, without a shadow of a doubt.
Oh, and there are “all-natural” sodas made with Stevia, which claims to cause zero rise in blood sugar levels, and it is a plant. It tastes a bit odd. I also don’t know what’s natural about drinking anything carbonated. But… It exists, and it is probably a step-up from most.
In all honesty, if you can’t picture a caveman consuming something (without laughing), it’s probably not something humans were meant to consume.
Paul asks…
Does being fat make you jolly?
I mean no offence but overweight people are always smiling and everyone knows that santa clause is the jolliest person around (he’s fat you know). Is it some chemical released when eating?
admin answers:
Having been on both ends of the scales in life I think I can cheerfully say I am happiest in the middle! When I was fat/obese a few years ago I was only happy as a sort of protection. People knew me for being funny and a good laugh but inside I was as miserable as anything because of my weight. When I was thin enough to see my bones I was unhappy because I was constatly thinking about NOT getting fat. The two ends of the scales are almost like obsession. One with not gaining weight and the other was getting all the food I could – for me it was all to do with emotional comfort eating or emotional depriving myself. Now I’ve found where I am happiest and that is right in the middle. So now I am really at my jolliest because I feel it inside as well as onthe outside!!!!

I’m very dispirited this week already. A friend I hadn’t seen for a couple of years called and invited me for lunch. One (and only one of many) things that came up was her devotion to……ready?….Kevin Trudeau–talk about spitting out the wine I was drinking at the time!
