[Hartski]

stupid fat f*cking people will never learn.

Some of us do learn.

[LLoydBanks]

Some one should help him, maybe give him a good cutting diet... Liquid diet or something for a few months would help... later on he could start off on solid food...

[rmat16]

Not only that, but we're supposed to feel sorry for this guy. Like he couldn't help but sit in bed all day eating pure **** and never doing anything about it.

Give him good diet? Did you guys even read his article? :S

Quote:

Since Keitz was 18 and 250 pounds, he has gained 375 pounds, or 1,312,500 calories. That's 62,500 calories per year, or 171 per day.

Just 171 calories a day?

That's roughly equivalent to going to McDonald's and ordering a double cheeseburger (460 calories) instead of a cheeseburger (310). Or a quarter pounder (420) instead of a hamburger (260). Or large fries (520) instead of medium fries (350). Or a large Coke (32 ounces, 310 calories) instead of a small Coke (16 ounces, 150 calories).

Before you know it, you are supersized.


His ilness has caused his weight, not diet. Some people will never understand that genetics can not be changed with diet.

[Hartski]

Gah!

Cardio.......I need more cardio........that's it......yeah..........

[illwill3]

it says he lost weight while laying in bed. So, if I layed in bed doing nothing, I could lose some bf% right?

[Robbyrh10]

"Before him on the mattress is a pack of six chicken breasts, two lemons, a pound of butter, basil, garlic salt, Old Bay, aluminum foil, a cutting board and a sharp knife. He calls for rice. Gina Keitz tosses a bag from the kitchen, and it lands with a thwop on his belly."

"When a CD is blasting, he nods his head and heaves his shoulders to the beat, impelling tsunamis down his torso. This is how he takes his daily exercise."

"He was always a big boy: 100 pounds in first grade, 165 in fourth. The kids used to call him Fat Albert. Beluga Whale. Blimp."

"Before ending a brief conversation, one sister said, "If Johnny got as big as he is, that's on him. Nobody put the spoon to his mouth."

"John Sr. and John Jr. liked to take weekend drives together or go shoot pellet guns, and often stopped at McDonald's for lunch. One Saturday, they placed their regular orders -- Big Mac, fries, chocolate shake for the old man; Quarter Pounder with cheese, fries, strawberry shake for the 16-year-old. Keitz had in his pocket the proceeds of his first paycheck, from another McDonald's."

"Keitz was a big talker always with big plans. As his wife would say, "He's good at making plans, lousy at follow-through."

"He came to believe his metabolism was different. From his family doctor he didn't get much advice beyond eat less and exercise. After his early twenties, he stopped following any specific diet beyond watching calories.

"I figured, well, if I'm eating good and I'm still like this, it's how I'm to be," Keitz says.

His definition of "eating good" was somewhat expansive. He would argue that a hot dog from 7-Eleven is okay if the day's calorie count has room. He liked his junk food -- ice cream"

"An hour after dinner, he'd have a bag of chips, some ice cream."

He tried exercises to build strength, but ultimately resigned himself to his fate.

"When the knees go, the back starts acting up and the arms go, you just give up," he says. "You go, 'That's what I'm dealt with.' . . . I tried all the exercises, I tried all that. You can only do what your body wants you to do."

"Accepting his size and decreasing mobility, he defied the rest of the world to do likewise: "If they couldn't accept me for me, [expletive] them."

Obviously, no surprises here.

ROFL!!

someone had to do it:

[roger777]

Wow, and they pay like 50 000$ a year to take care of this guy, while I can't even get 550$ a month on welfare when I have no job.

[dre9]

I'm sorry but shiat like this just pisses me off beyond belief. This guy is completely wasting his life and meanwhile perfectly healthy people are dying. A guy on my softball team just died last week, 37 years old, 7 year old daughter and a wife. Meanwhile this fat piece of shiat is alive and kickin'. Well, alive atleast.

His ilness has caused his weight, not diet. Some people will never understand that genetics can not be changed with diet.

This is a classic explanation about how weight gain or loss is not pure math. I'll have to pull out the quote again. From Tom Venuto's "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle":

"'Rob Faigin, writing in the book 'Natural Hormonal Enhancement,' makes a
humorous, but true observation about calorie balance and weight loss. Faigin says, 'If there existed an airtight mathematical relationship between caloric intake and weight loss, cutting caloric intake from 3000 to 1000 would result in a 60,000 calorie per month deficit – and would result in a 200 pound weight loss after a year. What if the person began the diet weighing 200 pounds, would he disappear?'"

Some of us do learn.

Same here.

Exactly.

Not only that, but we're supposed to feel sorry for this guy. Like he couldn't help but sit in bed all day eating pure **** and never doing anything about it.

I feel a little sorry for the guy and I don't.

I've been through it. Not 600 pounds "through it", but through it enough that I know first-hand how it feels. There is much, much, much more to it than food. Being obese, a person might as well hang a sign from his or her neck that says "I don't give a **** about myself." As they say, "Don't judge another man until you walk a mile in his shoes."

Most people reach a point, though. It's no secret that they understand their problem. They're reminded of it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It's not news to them. They don't wake up with the epiphany one morning and say, "Holy ****! I'm fat!" As you said, this was all his choice, which is 100% true. It was. However, it's not as easy as you might think to correct on a dime something that has haunted or plagued you for most of (if not all) of your life. Some people have the determination, others obviously don't.

Let me make it clear that I'm not trying to defend the guy, as this is really indefensible. It's unfathomable that someone should think so little of themselves, and to that point, it is very sad.

He's weak. By definition, so are cigarette smokers, alcoholics, drug addicts, people who define their worth by someone else's standards, religious fanatics, the clinically depressed...the list goes on and on. No one is without skeletons, whether they are visible or hidden.

Because they can convert weight gain into exact Calories
