I mean i realize it’s not good to a degree. But they sit there and everyone has to follow this exact chart. I friend of mine does those weight lifting competions in his spare time if he’s not working. He’s one of the healthiest people I know hell he can run for about 10 miles before slowing down. Hell he’s even won some marathons but according to his docter he’s obese and needs to loose weight. Then they sit there and say there is a directly link with high cholesteral and diabetes to obesity. But yet of all the diabetics I’ve met none of them have been obese. Hell my nephew is skinney as a twig and has diabetes. I’m obese and according to my doctor I show no signs of diabetes that all my levels or what ever are just where they should be. I have high cholesteral,every one in my family does here not over weight. why does every one have to follow the same standards as every one else some people are built differently every ones health is different but why do we treat it ll the same?

I am trying to stay away from any HFCS, Aspartame, and any other un-natural sugar substitute. I am wondering if there is any scientific proof of any ill effects to health? I’m not talking about just correlations between HFCS and obesity, because sugar makes people obese too.

I have a son and a daughter that are on two ends of the spectrum as far a weight.
My son is 12 and overweight for his size.
And we all know at that age especially, it’s a social problem as well as a health one.
My daughter is a year younger and is slim and a little under her idea weight.
I know she’s not anorexic. She doesn’t have to work to stay thin.
Both kids eat all the time. One is just effected by it.
I try to help my son, but I can’t watch them every second.
And I’d like to see my girl add at least 5 if not 10 lbs. but her metabolism is high.
Does anyone deal with these kind of issues and have you any constructive suggestions that worked for you?

not the obvious things but the things that are bad for your health.
