I think the statement is correct. It seems plausible for people to have a biological disposition to be slimmer, but become obese when they're older, when you take the social factors into account. As children, most 30+ adults will probably have eaten healthier diets then today's children do and...

Did anybody see this? It is still on the BBC iPlayer if you want to see it BBC iPlayer - Horizon: Why Are Thin People Not Fat? And if you don't want to see it, here are my extensive notes on it... Horizon: Why Are Thin People Not Fat? BBC Two, 9:00pm Monday 26th January One and a half...

It's all about Jack, Sawyer is not as hot!

Just don't let that give you a false sense of security, Hannah.

Amazingly I didn't gain weight over Christmas. But I suppose it wouldn't have shown on the scales so soon. Anyway, after a very unhealthy new year's party (though suffice to say I did burn off a few calories shortly after midnight), I'm back to being healthy again. Now just to sort out that...

Subway have a whitelist on their napkins... problem is, they show the calorie content of the basic Sub with no addition of cheese (processed rubber in Subway anyway) or condiments. I always go for veggie delight (meat from Subway is not edible), the calorie content of the basic form of which is...

I'm back home now for Giftmas. Gonna be putting a lot of bad things into my body on the day, but not too bothered about it... it's one day a year, after all (well, two when you have a uni xmas and a home xmas). For the second year now, I'm doing the cooking on xmas day. I really enjoy cooking...

****... are grapefruits expensive? Apparently you MUST have grapefruit for breakfast?

I was thinking of using the Chemical Diet to shift my last stone or so. Hows about we do it in January and all report back? (I'll do it after 7th... can't be on a special diet on my 21st birthday!)

Oh my Flying Spaghetti Monster, we got through a WHOLE jar of goose fat for a huge roast between 7 of us. I dread to think of the calories that went down my neck on Sunday. However, I'm making up for it at the gym this week!

Looking in the mirror, I'm feeling a little happier with the shape of my body at the moment. I think all those abdominal crunches are finally paying off. Last night my brother visited me at uni and we had a night out with a couple of my mates. First night out ever with my brother! It was going...

Yay, finally, an all round good day! I got up at 8:00 (been up at like 11 all week), had a light breakfast including fruit then went to the gym. Very healthy eating today, veggies with lemon and cumin seeds in wholemeal pittas, tuna potato salad (low fat mayo!)... more fruit.And, what's more, I...

I don't know you at all (and judging by your ID that's how you like it?) but well done! :)

Ah no, the chicken was still good, but couldn't have remained uncooked for much longer... and that was after being sick anyway lol.

Black Christmas - old version for the better film, new version for the more scary scares... I'm grim.

Hey Elle. I'm Lee.... and I'll put that into my sig for everyone to see, lol. Ooh, Good Food Show, I'm so jealous! Waiting for this month's magazine to arrive. x

Cold start in Manchester today, just for a change. No snow, but it looks like it may have snowed overnight, or it might be a little frost. I want back in bed!

Lol, everyone says that!

Couldn't agree more with nexangelus... we too readily put 'good' and 'bad' labels on food as if nutrition is black and white. It isn't. When you find you've dug your way though half a jar of crunchy peanut butter, then it's problem. I believe Sainsburys do porridge oats with bran, so that they...

Not a good start: I spent all of yesterday ill in bed, throwing up for no discernable reason! Must have spent at least 36 hours in bed. On the plus side (from the p.o.v. of calorie intake), I didn't eat a thing yesterday... I could only just keep water down. Feeling better today though. I made...

Ah yeah, drinking can be a gateway to worse things... I often end up getting chip nan with cheese when incredibly drunk (the calories don't count though as it's often thrown back up!)

I don't understand why so many people try the fad diets before they try calorie counting. Calorie counting doesn't sell you crappy fad products and it enables you to eat a balanced diet where as some faddy ones completely remove certain food groups (how the hell that can be good for you I'll...

If you want to lose weight, just calories is OK. Fat, obviously being stored energy, has lots of calories anyway, so you'll struggle to get much of it into your diet by calorie counting. Remember that animal fat is BAD BAD BAD. Oils contain less saturates and more mono and polyunsaturates...

Let's say it's more likely to be between 25 and 35 since most sources list it around there... and what's ten calories, really? Trekkie, you!!!!

I don't count at all, actually. Instead, I just avoid regularly cooking with ingredients that I know to contain many calories (cheese, large amounts of oils, any animal fats), and try not to eat anything high in calories between meals (might have a couple of squares of fairtrade 75% dark choc...

Scrambled eggs by Indian chef Anjum Anand: small knob butter teaspoon oil 1/4 of a small onion, sliced 1/2 a tomato, chopped 1/2 a green chilli, de-seeded and chopped small handful coriander, leaves and stalk chopped pinch of salt 2 eggs melt butter and oil in small saucepan fry onion for a few...

Plenty of cardio to burn off calories and some weights to tone up muscle... try to do at least 3 x half hour cardio a week, much more if you're not a beginner.

Veggie paella or green risotto, will follow up with recipes when I'm not so sleepy, if I remember.

I've managed to lose 9 1/2 stone while being a student, and not watching the alcohol too much... I don't drink as much as many of my friends, probably, but certainly get a few down me.

14 cals OXO cube as a hot drink maybe, but think of all the salt!

Having lost 9 1/2 stone and finding it difficult to focus and stick to my regime 'til the end, I thought it would be good to diary it so you can all encourage me! I need to lose 2 stone more to get to 10 stone (realistically I'll stop at 10st7-8ish). My weight loss started at university. During...

Rage dumping is an excellent idea! I wanna say this to my mum and dad... Get all that frozen **** out of the freezer, all the tins of crap, packets of sauces that I could make from scratch, all the crisps, chocolate, biscuits and cake and all the other **** out of the ****ing house before I...

white (****ing racist white supremacist pigs)

Hey Martyn Nice to see I'm not the only lad on here! I'm sure by now you will have lost some weight... maybe enough to get you confident enough to use the gym? I was in there at 20 stone... felt a bit weird at first, but at the end of the day everyone's there because they share a certain body...

Looks like an old relic. Bit like the Queen.

1. I have a photo of my cat and dog, but none of my parents and brother. 2. Although I'm gay, and knew it at the time, my first kiss was a girl... a girl who is now one of my closest friends. 3. I've never actually been happy, but am gradually getting there. 4. After having lost 9 1/2 stone, I...

I think skip 'ssshhhh' and go back to 'address'... SST (super sonic transport... got it in a dictionary!)

Well done on losing 9 stone! I'm about level with you there... tis good to have lost so much :-)

I know for a fact that is not true. A case about that came before the House of Lords in 1986 (Gillick v West Norfolk and Wisbech AHA) and they ruled that doctors can give contraceptive advice to girls under 16. So if they can do that, I'm sure they can talk to you about your weight. Give it a...

Just to let you know, there are at least two Ibis in the city centre: one that I know of is on Portland Street, and the other is on Charles St (found at the south end of Princess Street).

We went in mid-October in 2003 and 2004 and the weather was bright but chilly. Rained only a little bit. If you can book it, it'll be worth it. Lol, all the cool t-shirts that I bought in NY are too big for me now!

Lee Child is quite fun. I read One Shot, which was pretty good. Jeffrey Archer's *spits* last book, False Impression, was also good. Christopher Brookmyre is quite funny.

A packet of crisps and some chocolate wafers eh? It's a set back, sure, but you've done well and the occasional set back does not undermine all your hard work, so don't give up! Get all crisps, chocolate and other junk food out of the house. If your family/household have a problem with that...

I did that once, my stomach rumbled and I felt sick after 20 minutes jogging. If you want to exercise early morning, eat a piece of fruit perhaps half an hour before you go to the gym. I find it keeps me ticking over, then have a light breakfast after. Have fun exercising!

Develop a passion for cooking and good food... worked for me! Chickpeas really are awesome. Btw dude you look seriously good in a few of those pics in the middle, you're right that skinny wouldn't suit. Good luck!

If it's the first time you've been out in years, don't worry about having a few drinks... just don't drink excessively, and don't be making a habit of it! Or indulge in just one amazing drink, and have something calorie-free for the rest of the evening. Whatever you do, enjoy yourself!

Hey there, Interesting to see that you've done Paul McKenna. I read the book a few years ago and thought it had some advice for a genuinely healthy attitude to eating. Did you find it useful?

Veggie lasagne freezes really well. Don't cook the pasta sheets before freezing. Allow them to cook with the lasagne after defrosting. Last time I made one, I had two layers of generic tomato/vegetable sauce, one layer of spinach with blue cheese and one layer of creamy lentils, then topped it...

Hey people, I'm a noob, just wanted to introduce myself: name's Lee, 20-years-old, male member... I've already lost most of the weight that I want to (was 21st8), just want to lose another stone and a half to be 10st8. I didn't join any weight-loss group, just did it myself through lifestyle...
