Soda DOES NOT make you fat

This thread is on fire.. every few minutes there's new post posted..

I am; and so I wait for the fuckup.
Seconds. Ultimate derailment. Whooowhooo, this trains-a crashing soon.

I know how you feel, man. I'd tried for about a year and a half to gain weight by eating and such, but to no avail. The way I finally started to gain weight was just to start building muscle mass.

Fuck you people and your awesome metabolisms.

I wish I had your problems <__<; I'd love not to be able to gain weight. Just these past few months I've gained like 30lbs, it's been odd though due to the fact my clothes don't really feel different, other then my bra size. While that seems like a plus on my end, it's a catch 22. My breasts grew, but I gained weight. Luckily though, when I do exercise, which I want to get back into habit of doing after next week with the move to Georgia, I do drop weight pretty fast. My metabolism sucks though, so as long as I don't exercise, I gain weight.

I have considered that. I just don't want the opposite to happen. I took track back in high school as I said and I didn't lose any weight from doing that. I just don't want to start a routine and have the opposite effect happen. Losing weight is definitely not what I want. I have considered talking to a nutritionist and a fitness instructor to get a routine down. I would have done that early but me being poor and they charging a small fortune has stopped that from happening.

If you're like me, you have no fat, but next to no muscle either. Invest in a pullup bar, and start doing 50 pushups one day, 50 crunches the next, 50 pullups the next, and repeat that. You'll begin to notice weight gain and more muscle in as little as 2 weeks.

Haha, that sounded much like an infomercial.

That's it?! I am actually going to try this. Also I weigh 130lbs (respectively) and I am 6'3. So that height to weight ratio makes me look plenty thin. My food intake today was at breakfast a bowl of Captain crunch (it does not cut the top of my mouth). Then I went to Zaxby's and got a Kicken chicken sandwich and a full order of onion rings. After that I snacked on some oreos and then for dinner I had one of those pizza hut sandwiches. The Chicken Bacon Ranch one.

I am really going to do this 50,50,50 routine. If it works you get a gold star.

This thread has calmed down, ic..

Good thing soda is not on my menu.

everyone who has no issue with weight and can eat as they please: good luck at 30+, enjoy your early grave fatties!

My uncle is 50 something and can still eat as he pleases. Although, I guess that's probably very unlikely to happen.

Orson Welles ate what he wanted, and smoked cigars, and he lived to be 70.

Life is funny.

yeah... 70 is real old...

It's a fine age to die. Fuck living to 100 and being in a retirement home for 30 years (or having a nurse do everything in your house that wipes your ass, if you have money).

point is 70 isnt old and he was one example of a long life span while living a hard life, imagine how many died young after living the same hard life?

Orson Welles isn't the only guy who lived fast yet died old; he was just the first guy that popped into my head. My point was simply that a person won't absolutely die before 40 if they eat a lot and don't exercise.

much higher risk, it would be as if you did everything for the rest of your life after 30 with a bomb strapped to your chest and the time is ticking down but you don't know how much longer you have; but in this case the bomb is your heart...

Actually having a high metabolism isn't always a good thing... Try going out and finding pants when you're 6 ft tall and have a 28" waist size... Not fun...

BTW: Just for people to visualize how much sugar is in soda...



That's a lot of sugar... Mmmm fattening...

AMEN, my lanky brethren.

if i could get the calories of soda without all the sugar and caffeine, i would so be there.
