Marathon training made me fat

[Thin Lizzy]

The concept of willpower doesn't gel with the victim mentality which is predicated on the idea that nothing is ever your fault.

Lee apparently weighed 285 pounds at 5'3" there.

The usual fat fuck pathological lying. From the article:

"But sometimes, eating too little can also help pack on the pounds. Elbaz attributes her double-digit weight gain to consuming too few calories, which can cause your metabolism to drop. “She became inefficient at burning calories,” says dietitian Heidi Skolnik, meaning Elbaz’s body stored excess calories as fat, rather than using them as energy."

The elephant in the room paragraph here (apart from the woman in question) is that phrase "excess calories"...  So her dietician is literally saying her client was overeating!  I wonder how long it took her to figure that out?  Jeezus!

no activity makes you fat or lean

ffs, how many fatasses have been following bodybuilding routines for years

might as well say "weightlifting makes your hunger skyrocket, dont pick up a dumbell"

As a cyclist (ex track) I can validate that yes it makes you fat because your hunger goes out of control.

Same reason many prep for BB comps with no cardio because it drives hunger up.

I struggle with bodyweight when cycling. 10hrs/wk cardio and it's a weight battle to not get heavier because all I want to do is eat, constantly.

Besides that you burn fuck all calories. My energy is all measured and I average 500cals/HR during a hard ride over 2-3hrs. Problem is that is just one day....then your hunger is sky high the next 3 days and you eat WAY over that.

Plus you get fitter so you burn less over time but people forget that. Exercise is for fitness, not weight control, stay the fuck away if you are dieting.

seems like a metric fuckton of stage cyclists somehow have it figured out

I was reminded of this thread when, this morning, I saw two fat chicks wearing hydration packs while walking. It was about 55 degrees at the time and the blimps were concerned about dehydration while moving at 20 minute a mile pace.

no way..

Yeah with eating disorders, stims, drugs. Amphetamine use is massive in the sport.

The pros are very open about their struggles with bodyweight in interviews. It's no secret.

Go to normal club races and 90% are fat but are fucking fit. It makes you hungry, if your willpower fails that's a secondary after effect.

you know what the ultimate irony is about marathons?


"Marathons" (running in general actually) is LEGIT "white people shit" yo



white people love jogging


...and yet---the best runners in the world are all spooks

I guess you didn't watch the Olympics.

All the chocolate faces are blowing out with the crack down on doping.

Since I gave up weights and started running I've lost 40 lbs.

My diet is the see food diet, and i still drink a shit load. so I struggle to understand how the tank can put on weight.

no surprise they struggle to maintain <20 bmi.  no different than a bber struggling to reach contest condition.

doesn't mean either activity makes you fat.
