    Are you one of them people who can eat and drink all you want without worrying about gaining weight,do you get fed up with other people remarking how thin you are whilst they are on their third or fourth diet?..

    This, except my face explodes into spots if I eat anything greasy.

    Almost, I never put on any weight anywhere except, unfortunately, my stomach. Normally it's fine and doesn't stick out, though after a few days of indulgence there'd be a noticeable difference. It goes up and down quite quickly, though I never put on weight anywhere else. Maybe I just don't overindulge enough for that, but I do tend to eat chocolate and sweets often enough.

    People that eat crap regularly without gaining weight are deluding themselves. They're not accounting for something they can't see, cholesterol.

    Can eat a horse or starve myself and I wouldn't gain or lose a bit of weight.

    I fear however, that when I am older the situation will be the opposite.

    The people who can eat crap and never gain weight are the same people who drop dead of a heart attack aged 40. *Or else there is no justice in the world*

    No, unfortunately.

    I put on weight very easily even if eating *reasonably* sensibly ... I wouldn't claim to be a paragon of virtue in that regard, but my diet would be far from terrible.

    I have a friend like that though ... he's really annoying!! :mad:

    This aswell for me.

    I would be conscious though of what I'm eating and thinking about how much crap would end up in my system. Couple that with bad skin if I eat way too much junk.

    I try to limit the junk food.

    It may well be unfortunately, when I was younger I never put on any weight at all, but in the last few years I've noticed it go straight to stomach. Normally it's grand as I don't indulge too much, but it's noticeable after Christmas, for example.

    I knew a guy like this. I would never say he was anyway fat. Junk food king. Diet of heart attach. Seemlingly you don't physically have to be fat to suffer effects of bad eating High cholesterol can be a silent killer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    If I look at fast food I put on weight! I have to be very careful about what I eat and i have been for the last couple of years and have reaped the benefits!

    I used to be like that up to my mid-thirties. It all changed after that! On the bright side, my cholesterol is very good. I will live long to suffer my fatness.

    Yep, Junk food is bad for everyone, not just Fatty McFatfats.

    Well here's an idea. Eat at a McDonald's restaurant, then instead of taking the car, sprint your way home. You'll loose the weight.

    Is the :pac: symbol the secret mark of the nutritionally sound?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,089 ✭✭✭DjFlin


    The thing people need to remember is that, whether or not you can eat crap without gaining weight is, do you really want to? Like, I COULD get take away every night, but I'd much rather have a nice homemade meal. Same goes for general snacking, I'd take some crisp lettuce over chocolate most days, that crunch cant be beat! :D

    Isn't it just a myth that acne is caused by unhealthy food? I could have sworn I read it was a myth somewhere, but I dunno. As for the other two, I've yet to encounter them (Thank christ).

    there's a guy i work with who's a skinny little yoke, constantly eating junk, chipper food at least three times a week etc... he loves that he never puts on weight. the thing is he's constantly out sick, always getting flu, colds, chest infections etc, would never put it down to his diet I suppose.

    I used to be one of those people who could eat whatever and never gain weight, then when I got to about 23 it just stopped.
