So That’s Why I’m Fat
I would be rich if I made a dollar for every time someone has asked me why they are fat even though they eat healthy and exercise daily. It is one of the great mysteries in the world. Just the other day, a stranger came up to me when he heard I was in the fitness industry and said, “I only eat chicken and vegetables. Why am I so fat?” Hmm. Kentucky Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy and corn on the cob with butter are chicken and vegetables too!
Well, some genius beat me to the punch (and to the bank) with an answer to the age-old question “Why Am I Still Fat?” THISISWHYYOUREFAT.COM might be one of the funniest albeit disgusting things I’ve seen in a long time. Check it out immediately. Blown up, full color pictures of actual food found on menus throughout the country, replete with descriptions are the sole content of this outrageous site.
Some of my favorites were the steak sandwich with wet-cured ham, linguica, and sausage covered with melted cheese in a hot thick tomato and beer sauce. The bacon crusted pizza topped with extra cheese and bacon was also special. It’s one thing to hear about food like this, but to visually see it takes on a whole new meaning.
The tag line of this site is ‘where dreams become heart attacks.’ This site would be hilarious, and I’d be lying to you if I wasn’t laughing when I saw it, if it weren’t true. One of my favorite things I heard from an expert in weight loss years ago was about the glycemic index. Carrots have become a sinful food because they are rated high on the glycemic index because of their sugar content. This expert said go eat carrots by the bagful for all he cares. Nobody has ever gotten fat because they eat too many carrots. Ain’t that the truth.
I’m not saying that people are overweight because they eat gallons of ice cream and cookies all day. But, I am saying that they aren’t only eating egg whites and broccoli. The bottom line is that losing weight is not a mystery. If you are truly eating healthfully and exercising daily, you would not be asking me “Why am I still fat?” Take your own pictures of what you are really eating and you will see for yourself the answer to your question.
