Trojan pizzas are the Pentagon's secret weapon.My understanding is, and I'll have to check with my accountant, but my understanding is that when pizza is on a bagel, you can have pizza any time.
Any... time...
It's almost too much power.

Yes, Katie Couric narrates the documentary "Fed Up". The 2014 documentary explores the relationship between sugar, the food industry, and the rise of childhood obesity. It also touches on the issue of how the food industry has misled consumers and the US government.
"For the past 30 years, everything we thought we knew about food and exercise is dead wrong. FED UP is the film the food industry doesn't want you to see. From Katie Couric, Laurie David (Oscar winning producer of AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH) and director Stephanie Soechtig, FED UP will change the way you eat forever."
sad .. but accurate. relatively recent finding, too, because obesity is pretty much a modern affliction, but also because we didn't have the science bits needed to find this out.I remember reading somewhere that
(1) fat cells never disappear
(2) fat cells affect hunger by releasing hormones
I make pizza every week. And I eat that pizza every week. I'm 5'11 and weigh 154 and have 14% body fat. My triglycerides are rock bottom. And my doctor says I'm in great health.It's something of a guilty pleasure. I went for a few years (until about 2 years ago) without eating pizza unless it was served to me somewhere. But I started making it again, weekly, and adjusted my lifestyle so on balance I'm eating OK.
I mean, let's be honest. Not a great source of fiber. Tends to be high in sodium, I'd think, fatty because of the cheese and typical meats.
Once a week, I'll indulge it.
OK, now you talk...
I should be well on my way! Still stuck with excess skin from my time spent being obese though, not quite vain enough to submit to a medical procedure to get rid of it.sad .. but accurate. relatively recent finding, too, because obesity is pretty much a modern affliction, but also because we didn't have the science bits needed to find this out.
you CAN permanently lose fat cells. It takes several years of maintenance, you basically need to keep lean and wait for the cells to die, they won't be replaced by other empty fat cells.
I don't make my own pizza, but similar story otherwise. Blood pressure has gotten low enough to the point she asked to make sure that I wasn't feeling light-headed.I make pizza every week.

I've been asked if I was a runner. My answer at the time was yes. I have arthritis in my right foot and can no longer run. I miss it. I mean, I could run. But then I'd be crippled for a week. Many times my blood pressure runs pretty low. If it's 120/80 it's high.I should be well on my way!

I know this is a thread about the joy of stuffing yo' face, but i'd like to point out that our problem is not calorie consumption, it's the extreme reduction in physical strain that the majority of people experience. i recall reading a US Marine saying "a diet of 5000 calories a day (twice the food of an ACTIVE city human) will starve anyone in Boot Camp".
The point in my life where i was thinnest and healthiest i was not being conservative at all with food. Fried chicken, eat whenever you want, always go for Large, eat whatever you want, ice cream, but i was also sleeping 30 hours a week, going to college in the morning and to the afterhours at night, gigging, walking, partying, cube dancing even, adding calories with beer and removing them with extasy. I was ridiculously active and just couldn't keep the weight on.
Then i sat down in front of a work PC and .. game over man.

Greatest swimmer of all time,
Michael Phelps is widely considered the greatest swimmer of all time. He holds the record for the most Olympic medals won in swimming, with a total of 28 medals (23 gold, 3 silver, and 2 bronze). He also holds the record for the most gold medals won in a single Olympics, with 8 golds at the 2008 Beijing Games.
He used to burn 10,000 calories a day, mostly in the pool, obviously.
This is a sensational discussion of the greatest swimmers of all time. The GOAT is MP without a doubt. The participants here are super into competitive swimming, a great many doubtless excellent swimmers themselves.

I ran for a couple decades and one day had to stop, the pain in my foot sudden and overwhelming. Went to a sports clinic and was told I had plantar fasciitis and they suggested I take up swimming instead. Shortly I was swimming a mile every day and one day thought "why not 2?" From that day on I swam 2 miles/day and continued for 10 years. After a couple years of that I would precede my swim with 1 1/2 hours in the weight room, putting on a lot of muscle. One day I had to stop my timed 2 mile swim because of unbearable pain in my shoulder.I've been asked if I was a runner. My answer at the time was yes.

was told I had plantar fasciitis
I have stretchy ligaments. It's not officially diagnosed but it runs in the family. They believe it's what caused the arthritis. I find that exercise and weight training helps. I lost 50 lb and 2015 - 2016. My knee suddenly didn't hurt all the time and I can go up and down stairs. I cardio six times a week. I use my treadmill and walk really fast and use the incline intermittently. I use my hex dumbbells every other day. I already got my workout in. Today's my beer and pizza day.

Eventually I had surgery on that shoulder followed by surgery in that foot (neuromas).
I'm still committed to physical fitness and do what it takes, but I don't run or swim. Maybe I could but not on the level that I used to. I now have a physical therapist who's helping me with my legs/knees, which used to be OK, but now not so much. I think I can surmount the problems, though.
Arthritis is my chief if not only medical complaint. I go up and down stairs just fine recently, have occasionally had knee problems with that. Now, the knee insists I not walk too fast, particularly going downhill. The PT will hopefully resolve that. Did my 1000 foot elevation hike today already. I cardio 7 days a week, well this week I took a couple days off because knee was especially bad and I had stuff I needed to do. I have a Concept2 rowing machine but haven't been using it. Got it during pandemic for cardio on rainy days. Other days I'd street skate (quads) for 10 miles wearing a heart rate monitor.I have stretchy ligaments.
