The Biggest Loser metabolism finding DO NOT correspond to people who lose weight in a proper, controlled fashion.
I lost 70 pounds one summer as a teenager when I got a bicycle that I road everywhere. My weight was 325 from riding my bike 20 miles per day for three years because I had a restaurant job down the street (yes, it was 10 miles away). When I got into weight training as an adult, my weight went up to 400 pounds. After I stopped weigh training and did treadmill only, my weight settled to 350 pounds for the last decade. I only recently cut my calories to 1,500 to see if that makes a different.
Don't take any advice from anyone, you're the victim, and you're such a tough man.
I don't have a problem taking advice from people who are sincere about the advice they're giving. It's the pricks who get a power trip from talking down to someone that I have a problem with, especially when they think that my weight . Playing the victim game means letting the bullies get away with their abusive behavior. They're not going to change until someone confronts them.
In other words, you're either lying (to us or yourself about how much you actually eat) or you have an actual medical condition to maintain a weight of 350 pounds on an actual dietary intake of 1500 calories per day.
Unless I'm lifting weights to gain more muscle mass (400 pounds), I've always been 350 pounds as an adult. I've been on the 1,500 calorie diet for two months now. I've been getting comments from coworkers about how muscular (probably less rounded) I've become.
The New York Times had an article on the study of the 2009 Biggest Loser contestants who regain their original weight. Their metabolism slowed down from dieting (expected) but never recovered seven years later(unexpected). If they ate a normal diet for their height and weight, they still ate an extra 400 to 800 calories because their metabolism slowed down. It's almost as if their body wanted to regain the weight back.
But don't sit here and tell me you eat 1500 calories per day and you're still overweight.
When I did weight training and ate a 3,000-calorie per day diet, my weight went up to 400 pounds. I loved the muscle mass but finding 4XL shirts was a bitch. Now I'm going in the opposite direction (borderline 2XL/XL), I'm going in the opposite direction.
Spoken like a true fatty. I don't exercise, but I limit the amount I eat to less than elephantine portions every meal.
You're making some YUGE assumptions there. My diet is 150 grams of carbs and 1,500 calories per day. I also walk 20 minutes per day and work out at the gym every weekend. Despite being 350 pounds, I'm doing a lot more than you are.
I haven't known a single fatty fat that didn't eat a shit ton of fatty/sugary foods.
I had skinny people accused me of trying to shame them because I eat less than they do at a restaurant. I only eat half a plate for that meal and then take the other half for a different meal.
And biologists, medical researchers, and practitioners.
I was born fat. Doctor told my mother that she would have twin girls (five pounds each), and got a ten-pound bowling ball of a boy. School officials ordered repeated rounds of blood tests in the 4th, 5th and 6th grades to figure out why I was so big. A principle tried to fat shame my parents by calling them in for a conference but was shocked to discover that they were skinnier than him.
I'm a fat person who accepted being big and has control to limit my diet to 150 grams of carbs/1,500 calories per day. Will you change your prejudice or call me a liar?
She's not fat, she's obese; she's unhealthy and allowing her to tell people that it's okay is not okay.
I'm 46-years-old, 5'-10", 350 pounds and on a low-carb diet (150 grams/1,500 calories per day). When I stopped accepting other people's opinions about my body and accepted the fact that I'm big, my life became a lot easier to deal with. I'm also at the age where I no longer give a shit about what other people think. I have enough muscle from working out in a gym for a decade that very few people are willing to risk their life to fat shame me in person.
There comes a time when we need to divorce ourselves from political parties and demand a problem gets fixed.
Or wait until 2030 when all the baby boomers are retried, retirees outnumbers workers (smaller tax base), and two-thirds of the federal budget goes to Medicare/Social Security. Taxes will have to go way up to pay for everything else. Politicians of all stripes won't be able to kick that can down the road anymore.
You're surviving, not living. That's depressing as fuck.
This is the best commute I ever had for a job. I get on the express bus, read, and get off the express bus. People who always drive to work find that depressing.
You are merely moving the stuff out as an actual object instead of a paste.
My poop comes out like soft yogurt. If the cone-shaped top is above the water line, it's a Mt. Everest. One time I pooped a Olympus Mons that filled the bowl. Fortunately, it flushed without incident.
At what age does the amount of time on the toilet end up being longer than the time in the shower? Younger minds are curious to know....
When you're on a low carb diet, you're going to shit mountains one day and piss oceans the next day. This is one part of my day where I dont' want to hurry.
So yes, while most of the world's legal systems are based on Roman law, the one you picked was only very tenuously so, and well over a thousand years ago.
It's even more tenuous that our calendar system is based upon a hippie carpenter getting hammered on a telephone pole 2,000+ years ago.

Then there's the question of adding exercise to the equation. Moving around takes energy, there's no way around that.
I'm trying to master the rowing machine at the gym. It's... painful... in a good way.
You punch anyone in the mouth that dares give you honest feedback about your life decisions?
Nope. Only pricks who get into my face and expect me to cower before them.
You must have some really great yes-men friends that never give you an constructive criticism.
I had a whole church full of them. That's Jesus for you.
I'll give you some opinion right now - check that ridiculous aggression - it's only going to hold you back.
That aggression gets the bullies to leave me alone and find a weaker person to pick on.

Self-loathing fat person who lacks self control.

You can do with that information what you want.
How about a punch in the mouth? I found that most bullies are unwilling to pay the price for their opinions and flee from imminent harm.

No, there's a huge number of people who hate on people who are fat that say it's perfectly healthy to be fat.
Self-righteous fitness nuts who think they can lecture people on how to eat and diet.
Hey, look! A skinny ass punk looking for a punch in the mouth!

Oh aren't you a special snowflake.
There are great rewards in being financially literate.
You suggested in another post you were doing low-carb. 150 g/day isn't low-carb except by comparison to a standard American diet.
A low-carb diet is 150 grams or less of carbs per day. The typical American eats 225 grams to 325 grams of carbs per day on a 2,000-calorie diet.
http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/150-carbs-per-day-still-considered-low-carb-7754.html
Low carb means you'll be absorbing more protein and fat but it doesn't increase the amount of waste.
The facts disagree with you. A lack of fiber from protein is why I'm passing more waste. I'm also shedding — and drinking — more water.

Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine
I do that to my balls before I go to bed. :P

If it was a computer, it wouldn't be pausing to find the appropriate script and making stupid mistakes.
