'Most' everyone is. That's why we've nutritionists and dieticians.

I am obsessed by bad news too, and can't stop wishing it will get worse.
At the moment, that is something awful to wish for.

NO WAY! How did you get over your obsession?

Everyone is obsessed with junk food.

That's what I thought, until I started noticing the slightly thinner people in the world :P

I discovered today why the Atkins diet works.
The Atkins diet allows people to eat as much fat as they want but no carbohydrate.
Fat cells are made by joining fat to a glycerol backbone obtained by carbohydrate. If you dont eat carboydrate this will never form.
Title: Re: Why am I obsessed
Post by: Romeesa-Chan on October 24, 2011, 02:38:37 pm
Ah, junk food is just junk ... :P

But almost EVERYTHING has carbs in :/

Does chocolate? and crisps? and cookies?

You are so cute! :D

Eating dark chocolate helps since I guess it has less fats. Crisps and cookies is well ... we just gotta control ourselves. :P
Title: Re: Why am I obsessed
Post by: astarmathsandphysics on October 24, 2011, 03:26:49 pm
Anything with flour, wheat, potatoes, rice, pasta has carbs in.
What we really need to stay slim is all these things made from pure fat.
Title: Re: Why am I obsessed
Post by: Romeesa-Chan on October 24, 2011, 03:29:27 pm
Replace junk with something healthier. ;)
Title: Re: Why am I obsessed
Post by: astarmathsandphysics on October 24, 2011, 03:31:49 pm
Trouble is so much healthy food has carbs in which make you fat.
What you need to get healthy is a long space voyage with nothing but fruit and vegetables to eat.
Title: Re: Why am I obsessed
Post by: Romeesa-Chan on October 24, 2011, 03:34:14 pm
I cannot live on fruits and vege alone. :-[
Title: Re: Why am I obsessed
Post by: astarmathsandphysics on October 24, 2011, 03:36:28 pm
Yes you can. Your body is built to take the same food as apes and monkeys, who are vegetarian. Any fats you can get from nuts and seeds.
Title: Re: Why am I obsessed
Post by: Romeesa-Chan on October 24, 2011, 03:38:43 pm

Title: Re: Why am I obsessed
Post by: Ukhti-R on October 24, 2011, 04:01:39 pm
haha wow!

I don't mind living on fruits and veges. But then I'd have vegetables with rice? ::) or bread?

It's a lose-lose situation :(

Thanks guys :)
Title: Re: Why am I obsessed
Post by: Amelia on October 24, 2011, 04:32:49 pm
The Atkins diet is made for OBESE/OVERWEIGHT people. I suggest, you first know what categories you fall into - Click here (http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/)

 The principle of this diet is to replace carbohydrates (the primary source of energy) with fats and proteins. In this way, fats and proteins are used for energy and the "excess body fat to regulate glucose levels" - The mechanism is long and I'm sure you guys aint interested.

For general knowledge; Fats are the source of energy during the periods of rest and light activity (like walking, sitting, typing etc.) and glucose (carbohydrates) is broken down during vigorous exercise. Brain relies on glucose for energy, not on proteins or fats. That's why feel shaky and irritable when you haven't eaten for a considerable amount of time.

My suggestion (if you are not overweight) is to have a balanced diet!

~ Fibres are very very important in your diet - and you get them from fruits, vegetables, rice, whole bread etc..
~ Nuts, seeds, meat, legumes are important sources of protein.
~Don't forget the dairy products - Milk, yoghurt, low-fat ice-creams!  
~ Choose the right type of fats - avoid saturated or trans-fat. (McDonald's NO-NO)
~ other nutritional food, like fruit juices.
~ Eat variety of foods! Dont stick to the one sort.

You cannot live without carbohydrates, it's necessary for survival. If you want to "tone" yourself, than the key is physical exercise and the balanced diet.

Junk food is not forbidden - it is recommended in tiny amounts and by tiny amounts, I mean, twice in a week or once in a month.


Happy Food Journey!

Ok- I'm 'normal weight' according to that, but I just feel ugh. Like- if I'm not careful I'll just end up being over weight.

Thanks Miss Nutritionist :P

TWICE A WEEK OR ONCE A MONTH. You must be kidddinngg ?!?!?!

The amount of junk I eat a day- must be about 4-6 times a day :/

WOAH. I only eat twice/thrice a week. Bad bad for me. :-[

Or maybe ... you are one of those people who eat tons but never gain an ounce.  ::)

I APOLOGIZE! My sleep-deprived brain made mistakes.

I meant, ONCE IN TWO OR ONCE IN A MONTH.

NOT twice in a week.  ::)


And, Yes, Roxy - you are NOT fat but you must start practising the right thing. Even prophet Muhammad (saw) used to eat less... and sleep less, and talk less.  :P

Oh, By the way.. sleeping helps lose weight.. because it burns down the fat. But over-sleeping kills, too.  ::)

Kills you. I maybe, contradicting myself here but over-sleeping is related to heart diseases, and sometimes you cant get enough of it.

Over-sleeping is as bad as very little or no sleep at all. Everything in this world must be in 'moderation'.

----

Try to reduce it more Romy. 100 ml of pepsi has atleast 5-6 spoons of sugar. That makes you glycemic index suck real bad. :P

No, I used to be like that a couple of years ago. Now, I must be careful :L

So like- you have 2 CHOCOLATE BARS ONCE A WEEK?!

YA Allaahh!!

haha. I don't 'over eat', I just need to keep my mouth moving, ALL THE TIME. So if I'm eating chewing gum, I wouldn't need anything :P But then- there's always so much junk at my grandmas :/

SLEEPING HELPS? LOOOL
Title: Re: Why am I obsessed

You've a sweet-tooth, Roxy. Try alternatives. Apples, bananas, potatoes. Say NO to junk.  ;D

You can get over chocolate by thinking of poo whenever you look at it.
Any hints to get over other obsessions will be helpful.

i dont think i could ever get over my obsession for chocolate.(even when i'm thinking about poo)=Pi am crazy behind chocolate!
i think noone could.
Title: Re: Why am I obsessed
Post by: astarmathsandphysics on October 25, 2011, 08:59:36 pm
We should do an experiment here. Who manages to give up chocolate by thinking about poo?
Title: Re: Why am I obsessed
Post by: Ukhti-R on October 26, 2011, 12:08:59 pm
Good idea. Me and silvercameroon are the sample.

the method: Considering we have a chocolate bar a day, how many chocolate bars do we have at the end of the week after thinking about poo before we eat it.

We'll report here next Wednesday ;)
Title: Re: Why am I obsessed
Post by: Ukhti-R on October 27, 2011, 10:08:55 pm
Okay- this is a total FLOPPP.

I thought of poo so much while eating this chocolate, but didn't work :/
Title: Re: Why am I obsessed
Post by: silvercameron on October 28, 2011, 12:32:53 pm
haha,told you already,same here! =D

i went to a supermarket yesterday ad bought loads of stuff related to chocolate,and even though i thought abt poo =P ,i failed to give up eating.=P
Title: Re: Why am I obsessed
