Did anyone watch the programme on fat on BBC2 last night?
Very interesting
-
I never watched it. Was it claiming some folk were meant to be fat, some mean to be slim? I think i read about it in the tv guide.
I hope it didn't just give fat people more things to blame their obese states on.
-
it was actually saying about how some people can eat shit and stay lean.
went into the science.
Done an experiment people ate 2x their calorific requirements daily. Some added very little in 4 weeks.
One chinese guy added about 10lbs but didnt look heavier. Mad bastard increased his muscle mass lol
was interesting. I am sure you can get it on BBCi Player
-
Nah Didn't see it, was it full of fatties giving it the usual "it's society's/x partners/resturants/genetics/media's fault"??
-
No, it was think people trying top get fat. They really struggled BIG TIME.
Went into detail about fat cell size an number. They literally gorged and never done any exercise for 4 weeks. Most weight added was something like 11lbs
-
Really? They need to get some tips from some of the big units that live around my way!! One of the guys I work with is so fat he refuses to walk up one flight of stairs, the other day the lift was out and I thought he was gonna cry.
-
its years nad years of abuse to get so fat.
does not happen overnight at all or even in a year unless a conscious effort is made to turn to blubber
-
saw it - very good
-
interesting as hell.
Also see the guy who was measured at 7% b/f in a 'bodpod' looked miore than that
-
I ddin't watch the programme but I read an article on it on the BBC website. Quite interesting - I think it tended to focus more on skinny people not being able to gain weight rather than the other way around.
-
these were thin average people.
no muscle but not emaciated etc. was good programme try iplayer
-
They were all kind of skinny fat. That one with the beard, jeez.

People say the metabilism slows over time.
I know i am young, i wonder how true that is. People get fatter slowly over time and do less as they get older, that's not the metabilism slowing down because of age.
-
What date and about what time was it on at? Going to check the iplayer
Metabolism does slow with age
-
im 25 and i can tell that my metabolism is a lil slower thatn it used to be, all other things being equal
-
Bingo

I was watchin half tonne son on Channel4,now that was class
-
guy with the beard and dr marten shirt seemed like a knob. Also some scientist claims that youre only a cold/flu away from becoming morbidly obese. what a load of wank. overall though it was quite interesting. it made a change from the usual excuse fest of documentaries bout people who cant lose weight
