Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. In adults, a body mass index (BMI) over 25 is considered overweight, and over 30 is obese.

ow does a steer get fatty by eating grass?


Mice and bunnies that live in the grass.

"Even though the bulk of their diets is plant matter, herbivores like cattle will eat insects and raid nests for baby rabbits, birds, and rodents they find on the ground. They will also scavenge for meat and bones from predator kills for variety of reasons if the oppertunity [sic] presents itself."

I've read that cattle consume a lot of insects in the grass as well.

A Cow, unlike a human, has four stomachs, the first two are devoted to fermentation of vegetable matter by symbiotic bacteria. The latter stomachs consume the bacteria. Bacteria, being animals, not plants, contain protein and fats.

You surely can't be as ignorant as your troll post, can you?

Sometimes we spout off about something that's leagues out of our wheelhouses. I was being a dick, and I apologize, but why did you feel the need to troll with what you either knew was wrong, or have no clue?

My mistake. I was under the impression that the term GRASS FED BEEF was really grass fed beef...then after a little research I found out that in the usa, grass fed beef means only that the first part of a steer's life they eat only grass and then during the last part, they load them up with fat inducing grains, corn and feed which creates the fat and marbling that people want.
True grass beef is very lean with almost no marbling. I have eaten real grass fed beef....It's not fatty and not marbled and not tender at all.
And I didn't even need to insult you.

Bingo. You need to let fat people know they’re fat. Sure suicide is a risk by doing that but they’re already doing that to themselves. Get your shit together or your gonna die early either way.

Yup. It's not even diet. People eat too much even if it's "healthy" on paper. 200 years ago, the people that created us, didn't eat all day. The breakfast, lunch and dinner thing is bull shit. No one needs breakfast or lunch. "Oh I'll have a healthy salad for lunch." Get fucked. Get your work done and pound the food at the end of the day like our ancestors did.

I have had many conversations with a good friend, who is unarguably the fittest guy (my age) that I know, about the personal responsibility issue with 'fat fuckers' as he calls them. Of course you have to shove those calories in your mouth but I maintain that the food stocks of America are poisoned. It is a process that has accelerated throughout my lifetime. People didn't 'get weak' in 1980 and lose control of their consumption. The destruction of our health and vitality has been an extremely profitable process, sell them the chemical laden hyper-palatable 'food' and then charge them for a lifetime of 'health care'.

This pisses me off more than anything. I buy swimwear and other clothing for the wife. 41 but still hot. I don't want to see bikinis and outfits on a land whale. I'll leave that site immediately.

I convert everyone on this topic once I explain it. I'm faithful, but I want to see something I'd fuck that my wife can wear. No interest in a land whale. This is the only genera that I boycott. Being fat is awful. I will close my tab immediately if you have a fucking heifer model posing in something. If you under 6' and not under 140lbs as a women you should just give up. I think that's what most do obviously.

80/20 rule. Most women are fat now. If you're single you're playing fat roulette. Also, always look at the mom. I've been direct with my wife that keep it in shape or you'll look like your mom. She's not awful, but out of shape for 65ish. Working out isn't hard.

Calories in minus calories out still holds true,none of the above is contradicting this. It just means some foods have lesser net calories than others, similar to net carbs, depending on the absorption/work needed to absorb. Still you can intake glucose and fructose mainly all day and lose weight as long as you burn more calories than you took in. It's basic math and thermodynamics


The error people make is why they are hungry. You can eat ice cream and drink soda all day, do this for a few days, and you'll find yourself starving for food. You know why? Because you don't have any nutrition. People are hungry because they aren't eating food, they are eating junkfood.

It's trivial to lose weight, just stop going out, don't buy anything in a box (except maybe noodles), and anything from the frozen section is just vegetables. Don't buy frozen patties, or french fries or whatever. If you want to MAKE them, go ahead. Any "quick meal" is just garbage, stop eating that shit.

Not wrong, but the answer simply is to move. I eat what I want. I don't snack, but when I eat it is a feast at dinner time. Take my vitamins in the morning and afternoon. Don't eat breakfast or lunch. Lunch is the dumbest. I think some breakfast is okay, but I forgo it literally everyday except on vacation.

At 40 I can dominate almost anyone 25-40 in athletics. Games. Whatever. People simply eat too much and with modern tech/culture no one moves. I'm slowing down now but I probably would kick anyones ass in a multitude of sports and activities. Golf simulator mind you but I just did a 5 over at Quintero in AZ last night. For the non-golfer or haven't played there that's like winning the Super Bowl for an above average golfer. Having played the course, it was actually extremely accurate.

Simulator? and where did you putt? Anyone that shoots in the 70's knows that the short game and putting is where you score. And add in bad lies, buried trap shots, a bad bounce, etc.
164   mell   2024 Feb 15, 8:38pm  

I maintain the bigger problem is people not moving, not their diet. Think about your grandparents, the 3-4 hours people spend on their phones/computers today were spent outside in the yard/garden with light to medium work back then, plus the mostly sedentary jobs these days, everything is submitted electronically, you dont have to "go" anywhere anymore. Housework is automated or outsourced. Easily an extra 400-500 calories you could eat per day.

You pick a radius. I actually putt okay, but I don't want to fuck my game up so on the simulator I do a 10' radius one putt. Golfing tomorrow (amazing for IL) but the simulators have gotten really accurate. Use it more for keeping the swing in tune and approach shots in IL winters. Would I have shot 5 over.... probably not. But for a simulator it was a good score for me.

I'm a mid 80's-90's golfer. I'm mostly playing scrambles at this point and doing a little gambling here and there. Otherwise I'll go solo and rip out a round in 2-3 hours. Half the time I don't keep score. I can't stand golfing on the weekend when Joe Retard comes to the course. So most my buddies are at work the days I want to go. We have 3 groups tomorrow.... By default the play is gonna be slow which kills my game.

Maybe for most people. I used to run 7 miles a day and when I didn't run like that, I bike 100 miles a week.

If I want to be in good condition, I can't drink beer, I can't eat processed foods, I can't eat out all the time, I basically don't eat carbs other than vegetables and beans. When I have a salad, I have to make my own damned salad dressing, I can't buy anything in a jar unless it's something like "tomato paste", I cannot buy pasta sauce, I can't consume ketchup unless I make it, I can't eat anything preprocessed.

When I do this for long enough, a soda is sickeningly sweet, a single beer gets me tipsy, ketchup becomes disgustingly sweet, I will feel nauseous when I eat out - it's too much food.

The problem is food in the United States is junk.

You can eat ice cream all day and be hungry because although you've consumed 5000 calories, you didn't get any nutrition.

I've fasted before for 2 weeks. Day 1-3 suck, but after that, you're no longer hungry, you got into ketosis, and although thinking isn't the easiest and you're tired, you will start burning all your fat. You have to get electrolytes meaning salt and possibly potassium salt. If you're already thin, doing this could kill you, so I don't recommend it.

No. Running that much was destroying my body and I pay for it now.

I used to bike quite a bit, and may get back into it.
175   mell   2024 Apr 17, 7:20pm  

The food our grandparents ate wasn't any better or worse. But they moved all day. No smart phones or game consoles and for the most part no computers. You can eat all the shit you want on top of a run of the mill diet as long as you work out all day. And probably easily consume 3000 calories without gaining weight (depending on how tall and/or muscular you are).
