What makes you fat?

[Milzy]

Never been fat but did get myself a rather unsightly and somewhat unshiftable beer gut a decade ago, for the same reasons highlighted above... then i got a job running around Aldi and the beer gut was gone in six months. ...only downside is I'm now struggling to find jeans with a 30" waist and a 34" leg

LOL you long streak of urine!

Don't get prescribed Duloxetine. Not been out for a meal for 4-5 months. Can't stand the smell of cooking food - If I cook, I won't eat it. If a queue for a lovely buffet, and smell it, I put my plate down. ~If I can't smell the food before I eat it, I may actually eat it. Not good.

Horrid meds. I'm managing on toast, soup and fruit.

For me it has been potatoes........

Potatoes don't make you fat. An excess of calories consumed over calories spent makes you fat. You can't blame the potatoes alone for their role in that excess. Or rice, or cakes, or beer. It's perfectly possible to have all of that lot and remain not-fat.

Carbs are the issue, mainly white carbs, potatoes and bread. I've lost a lot recently due to no appetite from pain meds, but I've stopped eating carbs to the usual extent.

+1 for cutting down on carbs. Worked miracles for me.

I find if you put in plenty of power on your rides you can get away with a lot of things listed above. Don’t be too concerned with weighing yourself. Just put more effort on the pedals and weight/fat will take care of its self.

How much potatoes vs how much rice?

A meal is a meal.

Beer for me. I've had no alcohol for two months now and been eating lots more fruit and veg, resulting in a loss of 5kg. Beer belly is still there but there's less of it.

My beer intake has not changed, i do like a beer.
