Obviously. My eating habits have not changed much in thirty years, but weight gain has occurred.

We become slow oxidizers and not just eating less and exercising more won't help. Often supplementation is needed to help restore the metabolism to more like it was in our younger years.

I'm not sure in what context you mean when you say, "any idea of what it's like to live with the feeling of being constantly hungry?" No, I don't. I rarely ever have the feeling of being hungry, and I wish to felt that way more often. No, I have never gone on a crash diet. My ongoing plan to lose about 25 lbs is to eat less. A little less all the time. I am having some success but not much. Losing weight, in my opinion must be coupled with some kind of exercise. I have not been doing much of that lately, either. As to the other issues, which you put in a context, I would say, of exploitation of women, I would have no comment, except that I don't see anything changing there, short of the continuing campaign hi-lighting violence against women, or domestic abuse. That has become a more hi profile issue, deservedly so, of course. To put a damper on girls aspiring to win beauty contests, or become cheerleaders, I think is a misdirected objective that can detour into political correctness issues, which can also become extreme. By the way, do you regularly feel genuinely hungry? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <salsunshineiniowa@...> mailto:salsunshineiniowa@... wrote : Steve, leaving aside for a moment how disgusting fat shaming…or shaming of any kind is... have you ever gone on a crash diet? Do you have any idea of what it’s like to live with the feeling of being constantly hungry? Not to mention whatever plastic surgery they feel they have to get for their one brief moment in the sun. Now maybe you could say she was being deceptive by accepting the role knowing she most likely couldn’t keep up appearances. But when someone’s “investment” is built on someone else denying themselves, for a whole year, basic sustenance, isn’t that already a major deception? That they all do to one extent or another and that seems to be just fine with Trump, the “owner” of the contest? And isn’t it time to start wondering when we’re going to finally retire and put to bed, permanently, such horrendous examples of fake femininity, fake male dominance, fake ideals of beauty, all built on these very young and most likely desperate women doing things to their bodies that used to be the stuff of science fiction. The*whole thing* is a sick and twisted deception. She most likely just started eating normally again, or however normally you can after doing whatever it is someone feels they need to do to whittle themselves down to a stick. Not to mention there's something truly disgusting about watching someone like Trump cavort and play mind games with these basically starving young women, all vying for his attention, while he goes back to the next lavish buffet as he decides which of them to make his plaything for the next year.

There is a certain expectation of physical appearance that I would think would go along with that role. Now, I would say that you should not ridicule or demean that person, but I can understand if the owner of the contest might think, WTF?
