Now JD, don't get critical with David just because he
approached the problem a different way. You are
attributing obesity to gluttony and he is saying that
there are other reasons for a person to be overweight,
and that a slow metabolism is one of them. So what is
wrong with that?
I happen to believe that it can go even deeper than
this to the fear and anxiety response of fight or flight
where the body releases excessive amounts of
cortisol. There is some truth to that aggravating "belly fat"
commercial - their explanation for it that is not their
product. Amazing how just as soon as something is
understood it is being marketed.
It is just as important to judge with "righteous
judgment" If I look at every fat ppl and believe in my
heart that they are gluttons I have violated the Royal
Law. judyt

If there are fat people on this list, I would like to comment on this to
help those fat people. Postponing eating is probably one of the worse
things a fat person can do. The body has a natural response to postponed
eating. It slows down your metabolism. Then when you do eat, more of what
you eat is stored as fat. The cycle worsens with more postponing of eating
because your body anticipates long periods between meals. It stores more
and more fat as your metabolism slows down more and more.
The right response to getting fat is to eat more frequently. Eating a meal
about every 3 hours will cause the body's metabolism to speed up and the
storage of fat becomes less necessary.
Peace be with you.
David Miller.
