Fair enough, I'm not sensitive one iota about it. I used myself as a example mainly because my height/weight, could easily fit into the ( obesity on scale category) and that 34 inch waist for a guy who's 6"2 is equavilant to a guy who's 5"6 with a 30 inch waist. Everything else being equal, it's a wash health wise. Nobody would EVER think 30 inch waist is obese on any man.
Walking is the elixir for having a healthy life. I always thought it was running until I was 50, but I was completely mislead. It's pavement pounding can do irreparable harm to your legs, knees and feet. Young people hardly ever get this since their lower extremities almost always feel fabulous regardless what they do. It took me until 50 to understand. Since then I've walked way more miles than I ran from 16-50, and it causes me no discomfort.
Only problem with walking is the ratio of time consumed to calories burned.
I will put on 10 to 15 pounds after a couple of weeks of hollow carbs in my diet. I'm talking bread, rice, potatoes, pancakes, pastry, pasta. I cut all that out of my diet and I drop the weight fast. I also lean more on vegetables than fruit because of the sugar. And I watch the salt intake which I used to never do.
"More importantly, mickey thought 8-4 was two games over .500. Argued about it. C'mon, man. Nothing can top that for math expertise. If GWAE ever has you on again, you can be sure I'll be calling in with that gem.'Nuff said." REDIETZ
Sugars in fruit (not the juices) not so terrible. It’s the “added sugars” or refined sugars. Same sort of thing as complex carbs vs simple carbs.
Vegetables in general, with the exception of the starchy ones, like carrots, beat fruits hands down for weight loss purposes. Someone just trying to maintain, can eat fruits like berries within reason. Fructose can be a problem with certain individuals, it's digested differently then glucose.
