    Interesting.  Assume you're talking about Thailand and not your home country. 

     

    So in this case, you believe he can file a police report because he has the text message evidence.  What if she just made a verbal statement, no text message, would he still be able to file a report?  

    Yes sir, I am talking about Thailand. And YES I have made police reports about people threatening me with no proof. It is strictly "he said, she said". But it doesn't matter. It is YOUR REPORT. You are only trying to establish a pattern for any FUTURE problems (in other words, an actual crime, like drugs being found). The police will write down what you say, and give you a copy. Then you show that to her, and you have just cut her legs off. She was a drug addict, she is MUCH more afraid of the police than he is. There will NEVER be another threat to plant drugs from her, guaranteed.

    What if the police decided to do "something?"  If I was the police and someone came to me with such a complaint, the first thing I'd do is contact the woman to get her side of the story.  Then of course, all hell will break loose.  If the OP is ready to deal with that, by all means, go for it.

    Nope, that's not how it works. The police don't actually care until a crime has been committed, which it hasn't. They are not a court, they are not trying to figure out who is lying, they don't care. Nothing of the sort. They will write down whatever you say. It is your REPORT. They will give you a COPY, they keep the original for verification any time at a later date. That's it!

     

    Of course, if you LIE, that could trigger your own set of problems. So don't LIE.

    There are three body types, ectomorph (those that usually stay slim no matter what), mesomorph (those that can be lean when they follow a good diet), and endomorph (those that to eat lean to stay lean and put on weight easily). The  easiest ways to stay slim if you have a tendency to put on weight are, do not eat past 7PM, as your usually doing less then and will store the calories. Eat 5 small meals a day instead of three larger ones, because if you take in less calories, you will store less. Never drink calories. No sugar sodas or drinks, no fruit juices (the fruit is better, has less sugar and more fiber), and if you use milk, drink it in cereal or oatmeal, and not as a drink, and use skim or 1%, never whole milk. Any alcohol is sugar, so limit drinking (I know, impossible for most expats, but if you drink too much sugar, the body has to burn that off first before stored fat) Take stairs instead of elevators or escalators. (Unless you're in the Empire State Building and want to prove a point). Trim all fat from meat before cooking (I know, fat makes meat taste better, but....), Limit any refined sugar (candy, cakes, pies, snacks, etc. ) to a snack and a small one. When you're older, you have to lower your carbohydrate (rice is good but not at every meal like they do here) intake because your metabolism is slower as you age. Eat more fish and chicken and less pork and beef. Eggs are good but eat more whites than yolks. Eliminate fried foods if you need to lose weight. Salads are great but you ruin them if you overload the high calorie dressings ( low fat is ok but sometimes means high sugar, find those with both). Walking daily is good, but weight training is better especially when you age because you lose muscle with age, and the more muscle your body carries, the more you burn calories.  Pretty easy , just takes motivation, desire and will power, especially if you haven't done much all your life .

    Hello TV Reader,

    Doctor Semmelweis lived in Hungaria in the early 1800's. He collected a lot of data that showed that doctors could prevent fatal cases of puerperal fever by simply washing their hands after operating on cadavers before assisting in a live birth. Unfortunately, in spite of having lots of data to support his position, Semmelweis's observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time, and his ideas were rejected by the medical community. He died after being committed to an insane asylum, a broken man. Years later, it was obvious that he was correct, and the doctors at the time were hopelessly antiquated.

     

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Semmelweis

     

    For anyone who has not been able to lose weight in the past, it's not your fault. God knows it wasn't my fault. You are NOT alone. Please read Fred's well intentioned recommendations (and I'm not picking on you Fred). Then, I recommend that you basically ignore all of them, particularly the low fat recommendations. Actually, I don't mean ignore, I mean that some of what he says is in fact correct, like low sugar, for example. It's just that it is not at all the most important thing, so you should ignore it UNTIL you understand the most important thing. Then, AFTER THAT, come back to this again.

     

    On the other hand, please proceed to follow Fred's advice if you look forward to strict diet control, lots of rules, and 45 years of working out, because that is what he has said he did if I recall correctly. Yes, I agree, probably, do that and you can see success. I, and the commenters on YouTube, have SUCCESS and we are not doing ANY of those things. Fat and old people who can do limited exercise are LOSING WEIGHT without special foods and without exercise. Which way do YOU want it?

     

    So what to do if none of those recommendations worked before? Start by watching some videos by "Butter Bob" on YouTube. Bob is no longer in the public eye after a lot of hate and scorn was heaped on him from the online health community, kind of similar to here on TV. But the proof is in the results. Please read the COMMENTS on his videos for inspiration, and see the thousands of people that found lasting SUCCESS after a lifetime of failure. This is the most important thing you can do, first and foremost: understand the problem with your body. Do not expect Fred or Robblok to understand it. They are like the doctors that had Semmelweis committed to the asylum, hopelessly caught in their own dogma.

     

    Continue to remember the pictures that I posted. High insulin --> fat babies, low insulin --> skinny (this is REGARDLESS of diet). After that, dig some more into the role of insulin in weight control. Understand how it works. Forget everything about diet and exercise until you understand the role of insulin. Then do some more digging and understand how to naturally lower your insulin, without drugs or special foods. Read the video comments for inspiration. You are not alone and you can do this.

     

    And that is a LOT BETTER advice than "grow a spine". Ridiculous and worthless. I will respectfully bow out of this thread here. Over to you Fred and Robbloks. Don't lead them down that dead end "eat less, exercise more" dogma. Accept that there might me a better way, learn. Don't be like the doctors that had Semmelweis committed. And a thumbs up would tell me that all the time I spent butting heads with these guys was worth it, that is actually accomplished something. And come back in six months and post again your success story ????

    Fat people have a chemical imbalance that makes them constantly hungry

     

    Fat people have genetics that make them gain weight no matter what

     

    Something government putting into water supply making us fat

     

    Eating after 6pm

     

    All the usual rubbish and urban myths. 

     

    And the usual fad diets, secret easy way out theories. 

     

    People its simple.

     

    Eat less calories every day than your body needs...you will loose weight. 

     

    Now there are things you can do to make it easier if you have no will power.....

     

    Eat bulky hight fibre foods that will fill you up and keep you full of you are always hungry.

     

    Eating less process food because processed foods are full of calories and quickly digested so you will get hungry again.

     

    Exercise to build muscle...as muscle burns more calories when you are resting. You dont have to be a body builder with swollen up arms and legs like tree trunks.

     

    Just walking, relaxing cycling, swimming is exercise and will build muscle.

     

    People give up and fail as they try dumb quick fox diets and unrealistic exercises. You just need to change your diet a bit and watch calories. So you can still have a beer or chocolate bar..but take those calories into the equation the next time you eat.

     

    Sorry man, none of these things worked for me.

    Wait a moment!  Is this whole discussion about obese people who have high insulin levels, because they lead an unhealthy lifestyle?  If you're overweight and don't exercise, then it's very likely that you have a high insulin level.  Changing to a healthy long-term diet and doing some exercise will reduce your insulin level and hence help you to lose weight.

     

    People usually have high insulin levels because they don't lead a healthy lifestyle.  Change the latter and you lower the former....

    OK thanks Simon, but that didn't work for me. Any other ideas?

    90% of people do not have low insulin levels, or insulin resistance. Most people eat more than their bodies can burn off. You think, looking back 100 years, where most people weren't obese, now all of a sudden, now most people are, is because of insulin resistance? It's not a failed mantra. people are basically lazy creatures, not wanting to do what's necessary to get leaner bodies.

    Fred, Fred, Fred. I never said they did.

    So assuming that you're not exercising like crazy, where does that excess energy go?  'Cos my science hat says that it is impossible to create energy and it is impossible to destroy it - you can only change one form of energy into another, such as from chemical (stored) energy into kinetic energy (movement, ie exercise).  

    Hello Simon, thank you great question. It seems you are quite reasonable and always learning new things. With low insulin, your body simply cannot absorb the energy. It is digested, it goes into your blood stream, but the cells cannot utilize it without insulin. It exits your body in stool and urine. Your body cannot absorb it.

     

    This is not digital, it's analog. The lower we can get out insulin, the less our body will absorb from what we eat.

     

    So the key is (which is what I have successfully done), is to get your insulin lower. Without addressing that, without doing that, this is why most people will fail at diet and exercise. Forget everything else you think you know about weight loss (this means you FRED). All your advice did not work, but getting my insulin down WORKED!

    Now NYB, please pay attention. This has all been said before, especially about diabetes, My brother died from it, my wife has it, and i understand it very well. Not knowing when that man's picture was from,before insulin was available, tells us nothing about what he was suffering from. My wife's mom eats quite a bit, has diabetes and takes insulin. She weighs 40kg. This is because here in Thailand, they don't provide here with blood sugar checkers but just give her insulin to take by shots daily. Her blood sugar was 258 fasting the other day, which shows they aren't doing what they should as far as giving her the tests and amount of insulin she needs. YOU said you didn't have any disease. If you had said you had hyperinsulinemia, it would have been easy to understand, but you said you are eating whatever you want, and losing weight. Having what you have and not getting the medicine you need, is taking a risk with your health. I suspected my wife had diabetes a long time now because she was always tired, slept too much and was irritable for no reason. She always ate well, exercised and didn't drink too much water. I asked her to get her blood sugar checked, and it was 207 fasting the first time, 197 the second and 174 the third. That's diabetes, so we went to the hospital for more tests and now she takes metformin, which I hate because of the side effects but there isn't much else to can do.

    Sorry to hear about health problems, but you didn't address anything I said. Which is that lower insulin causes you to lose weight REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU EAT. I completely REJECT the calories in, calories out nonsense, There is a lesson there.

  9. Going back to the OP, I believe that 90% of obese people have a chemical imbalance that number one, makes them hungry all the time, which makes sticking to any diet impossible. And number two, easily packs on the pounds for whatever they DO eat. Impossible for them to be successful without addressing the underlying ROOT CAUSE.

     

    Do your own research. There is a way that is far easier and works far better than the failed mantra "eat less, exercise more". Please stop leading people down this dead end. No I am not a troll. I am living proof.

  10. 34 minutes ago, simon43 said:

    OP, unless I've missed it, you really need to tell us what you eat/drink every day, what your lifestyle is, what exercise you do etc.

     

    I'm a scientist, and I know that energy cannot be conjured up out of thin air.  If you get fat (or remain fat), then the mantra that has been repeated a million times holds true.  The energy that creates that fat has to come from somewhere.  Energy doesn't seep through your skin - it essentially comes from your food/drink intake.  If you consume more energy (calories) than you use (through simply surviving and daily activities), then that excess energy will be stored as fat in your body - it's that simple!  You can alter that outcome by either taking in less energy, which doesn't have to mean eating less, but can mean changing the kinds of food you eat so that you consume less calories, but maintain/increase your mineral/vitamin/fibre/things-what-is-good-for-your-body intake.

     

    You can also also alter the energy equation balance by burning off excess energy through exercise, which will also ensure that you maintain healthy muscles and heart muscle.  I'm not a health freak and enjoy beer and sugary foods on occasion.  But I'm also aware of my own body energy needs.  I need to exercise daily to ensure that I maintain the balance of energy in, energy out.

    OK thanks, see bolded text. I have just showed you how it is NOT that simple! LOW INSULIN, IF YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT, PREVENTS IT!! Even you eat whatever you want, it will NOT BE STORED AS FAT!!  It's THAT simple!!!!!

  11. OK guys, in an attempt to calm the masses, here is another strong hint. I have already asked you, what is common in both photos? And there was one or two posts who had the right answer.

    image.png.8b42d480b7a1d76adff14bc2ffb2a5d8.png  image.png.cc5541dd88142ec5a6698a584ff61740.png

    What is common about both photos is they both have uncontrolled insulin levels. Therefore, their weight is not in control. The babies on the right have high insulin due to exposure in the womb. THEY ARE FAT NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO. The man on the right has diabetes before insulin was available. HE IS SKINNY NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES. These pictures are incredibly important because we FORGET that this is what the result of low insulin looks like. We forget because modern medical interventions quickly address the problem and we never see it anymore at this stage. Low insulin PREVENTS your body from absorbing nutrients, even if you are eating them. You see? It's not just about diet and exercise. There are other factors. No one is suggesting that we want to get diabetes. What this showed me was if I want to lose weight easily, I need to get my insulin levels down. That is MUCH more important than any diet or exercise.

     

    Here is another clue. Which of the symptoms interested me? You guessed it. That got me very curious. This is UNEXPLAINED weight loss. It says you are eating MORE, and still losing weight. Bingo!

    image.png.16b6f954fb6064e88d070896fc1e8ae6.png

     

    Now FRED, please pay attention. It says EATING MORE, and LOSING WEIGHT. That is what I want to do!

    Like I always suggest. If you fail, you try again. It's human nature to do things the easy way. Staying FIT isn't easy. You have to bust ass to get a good body (especially after you're early 20's) and have to bust ass to keep it fit. If your only desire is to be lean, and hate exercise, then eating healthy, not eating after 6PM, eating 5 small meals a day (not missing breakfast) instead of 3 big ones, and drinking no sugar calories is the way to do it.

    Thanks again Fred, as I always say, I believe you are sincere in your posts, trying to help people. Another hint, the bolded text above is what my mother told me since I was young. I always believed it, it makes perfect sense, I always followed it. And it is precisely the thing that doomed all my efforts, for reasons that you are not ready to listen and understand. If I may gently recommend, you need to do your own updated research.

  13. 2 minutes ago, fredwiggy said:

    It's not a failed mantra because there are millions of fit, lean people that are proof that the principles I've stated, and learned over the years, works.

    I would question those numbers, but anyway, having millions of fit and lean people proves nothing. You mentioned in your post about body types. Perhaps there are millions of the lean body type? You mean there are other factors? They didn't actually do anything to get that body?

     

    The real question is: how many FAT people have lost the weight and are now fit and lean for long periods? And the answer to THAT question is a very low number. Eat less, exercise more is a failure for MOST people. The data proves it. Do your own research.

  14. 7 minutes ago, fredwiggy said:

    The pictures you showed are extreme examples of people who are suffering from a disease, like I mentioned earlier. If there's a better way, tell us what it is, because the whole world would like to know.

    OK man thanks, but you didn't answer the question. I really do want to know. If I may repeat:

     

    So if what you have written hasn't worked for someone, what would you tell them? Try harder? As I said before, these people like me are generally already mentally defeated. Trying harder in that mental state is impossible. So what would you suggest?

  15. 5 minutes ago, fredwiggy said:

    That reply tells me you haven't a clue what you're talking about. Find it ourselves? Find what? A magic cure for obesity? If this was valid, do you not think all the other millions who are suffering because of too much body fat would be doing it? For all we know, you weigh 500 lbs and are "melting" off fat because you stopped eating a dozen donuts a day and went down to 3. When someone weighs a lot, it's easy to lose weight just by reducing what you've been eating all along. It's the last 10 lbs that are very hard to lose. Just by saying you ate 2 donuts and are thinking about a third tells me you aren't concerned about your health or about others, thinking they might follow what you do and be healthy. Eating donuts daily isn't healthy, and eating unhealthy is why so many die from heart disease, diabetes, gout, and a myriad of other diseases daily. My position is trying to help, as I have for many people over the last 45 years. Your position is telling people you know of this magical cure for obesity, yet won't divulge what it is, and by your last statement, "There is a better way than eat less, exercise more, find it", it seems just like bull$%#t to me here, and I suppose, most others. If you know of a way, tell us. If not, stop posting, because now you have at least one clueless member taking your  side.

    Yes sir, there is a cure, it's easy, it works, it's NOT eat less, exercise more. Of course you need to change something about your life. Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting a different result. Of COURSE, you must change something. BUT, it's basically NONE of the things you have posted in your first post which I referenced above. And no drugs of any kind. You see how cobatitive you have become? You are not receptive to learn anything new. No problem, you can stay with your old failed mantra. I have dug deep into recent research and then I have also modified what I found. I am losing weight that I NEVER could lose before following your advice. Sorry to bring you this news. I will post another clue. Then I am quite sure you will tell me you knew it all along lol.

    Calling someone a Troll because they have a strong view is like todays Snowflakes playing  the Raciest Card when your loosing a debate or being challenged.

    Thank you Pineapple. I am not a troll. I am losing weight that I NEVER could lose before following the eat less, exercise more failed mantra. I am not exercising (ok maybe a little bit, but certainly not vigorously). And eating the same foods as before. And before the sponge can accept the water, it needs to be softened up a bit. For some posters here, a tough nut to crack. ???? I have found many times that just coming out and telling people like this is useless. They must find it for themselves. There is a better way than eat less, exercise more. Find it.
