Are fat people lazy?

[dognutz]

Sometimes I see fat people on scooters and they act as if they're handicapped. I reached a certain weight a few weeks ago and I was disgusted with myself. I've since lost 11 pounds. I wasn't even a real porker, just felt like a slob.

Do fat people deserve special treatment like on planes etc. It's not my fault they're fat.

 

[bazokajoe]

No they don't deserve special treatment.
On planes, most airlines require overweight people to purchase the seat next to them.

Not necessarily lazy. But they certainly consume too many calories. Anyone eating a high caloric diet such as lots of fast food every day will become fat even if they hit the gym every single day. The average human body can burn a maximum of around 4000 calories/day.

Not all fat people are lazy, but most lazy people are fat.

Don't they have a set point which they always gravitate to? Work out and then they eat more.

I am waiting of airlines to do the sensible thing.
Set a sum of person and luggage weight fare.
If you are heavy, less luggage weight allowance before you pay extra.

The additional fuel consumption to make the journey on heavier person does not differentiate between body mass or luggage mass.

Don’t people realize that as with having high Cholesterol it can be genetic? Thyroid problems ( especially) women and no amount of exercise will do much?

Lazy? Or depressed? Moods can also play a big part in eating habits, the energy to get up off the couch. A lot of studies are looking hard at anxeity/depression amongst both youth and middle aged adults. So for them, which came first. The chicken or the egg?

Me. I was lucky. Born with good genes, an extremely high metabolism ( keeps me wired tight/corded) no matter how much I eat. I’m one of lucky few that has to work…to gain weight, without a lot of formal excercise but a lot of energy. I’m rarely sedate.

Are people in general lazy these days? Using a broad brush stroke? How often do you cook healthy meals vs how often do you cook processed foods and worse order fast food?

If fat people were really lazy they wouldn't go to the trouble of lifting food into their mouths and wouldn't bother to chew so, following that logic every fat person is an Olympic athlete.

I'm unsure about lazy but I'm getting panicked by this ...

Obese individuals have reduced grey matter density and functional brain abnormalities, study finds

An analysis of a large number of existing neuroimaging studies has found that obese individuals have reduced grey matter density and functional activations in the midbrain and thalamus regions of the brain. Lower densities of grey matter were also found in specific areas of the prefrontal cortex...

It might explain a lot

Had never considered this before.

It's been decades since most Americans worked in fields and on factory floors, a far greater majority of us are sitting throughout our workday. This means less exercise each day. According to one study, only 20% of today's jobs require at least moderate physical activity, as opposed to 50% of jobs in 1960.

Another study by the cdc I skimmed looked at Demographics and socioeconomics. Guess where wealthier Caucasians fell. Yep, higher rates.

I would say undisciplined, not lazy.

Yes, I have Hashimotos Thyroiditis and therefore I am hypothyroid. I gain 2lbs if I eat a banana and my thyroid levels are off. Always have to make sure am on the right dosage

But it is also why I workout like crazy. 2.5 hours every day and stay on a low carb diet.

I hear you brother. I lost 3 lbs last week. Now all I see around me are fat fucks. Don't get me started on smokers. I quit 3 weeks ago. What's with these clowns puffing on ciggies?

 

[John Wick]

I dunno. Based on TERB threads, BBW escorts are wicked busy seven days a week can't keep up with all the business demand. Clearly fat and lazy have no direct correlation.

i had this overweight lady sit beside me on an airplane and her elbows were literally over the median and into my space. it was really annoying. at least she was trying to lean towards the window side as much as possible. i think they should be charged for an extra seat.

 

[JackBurton]

We’ve seen this type of post come down the pipe over the years.
It’s always some muscle headed jerk who is embarrassed that some fat guy can pull hotter women than him so he kicks off a tirade about his fat people are ugly, take up more space etc.

He never touches on their good qualities as fat people, which is precisely the way they land super hot women.

The best part of it all is that excercise and weightlifting kills you faster than not

Despite only starting powerlifting last summer, teenager Laura Delava from Belgium became national champion in her category with four national records only last September, aged 17.

To become obese you need to avoid all exercise and physical activity and consume twice as much food as your body needs. Often that food will be empty calories (just sugar and fat) So to answer the question: yes they are absolutely lazy and don't even make the effort to eat healthy. That said, I believe sugar is an addiction as powerful as alcohol. Obese people clearly are addicted to sugar and their body screams for it all day every day.

I am far from perfect. I battle sugar cravings all the time. I have a sweet tooth and it's definitely my vice. But I resist more times than I give in and I also exercise like a pro athlete (not actually). I feel sorry for obese people but I am also angered by them. They are surrendering to the power of sugar rather than fighting and saving their lives.

Probably absurd and uninformed generalizations galore on this thread. Many overweight people are not to blame for their situation. All kinds of medical conditions might be the culprit. Watched a documentary years ago where a girl took meds during her teenage years to clear up bad acne. The meds caused her to gain weight. She was spending all her spare time at the gym, clocking up miles and hours on a tread mill/ stair climber to no avail. The meds had somehow wrecked her metabolism. For women it is much harder to lose weight. Biggest loser TV show was proof of that.

Proof positive yet again that there is a ceiling to intelligence but no floor to stupidity.

Left to your own devices, so many of you prove you're insensitive, ignorant and full of shit.

Being fat is unhealthy, whether it was due to negligence in one’s own health or a medical problem. The verdict still stands fat = unhealthy. People nowadays eat way more they need to & consume way more sugar than they realize. This is not a topic sensitivity, fat people are unhealthy & that’s a fact! Being fat should never be accepted as a social norm as that will be the downfall of society. Obesity is ever growing due to really good marketing by big food corps, cutting corners to mass produce food cheaper & people becoming more negligent towards what they put in their body’s.
