Hugging and Chalking

This blog is about obesity and the inanity/insanity it spawns, the encroaching lawsuits and growing diet industry. Obesity is a matter of genes and personal responsibility. You can have an endocrine problem, or you can have a balance problem (too many calories and too little exercise). It’s not where you eat, but how much you eat; it’s not McDonald’s fault, or Mama’s fault, or Washington’s fault if your body is too fat or too thin. Rosabelle.

Why that last diet didn't work

". . . the International Association for the Study of Obesity recommends 60–90 minutes a day of moderate intensity exercise or about 35 minutes a day of vigorous activity for the prevention of weight regain following obesity. Although epidemiologic and laboratory data are limited, it appears that about 45–60 minutes a day of moderate activity is necessary to prevent the transition from normal weight to obesity, at least for a large part of the population." International Journal of Obesity, (2004) 28, 1541–1547.

Sigh. I guess exercise class 3 times a week and snacking on cheese and crackers while I blog isn't going to do it.
