Huckabee: Packing on more pounds than delegates? |
|
Wow I dunno if it was just a bad angle or what but the little clip they had on MSNBC tonight, he looks pretty fat again!
Just a fun observation! As I recall in the heady days of his IA win the media was constantly referring to his "Oprah-like inspirational weight loss story" :eyes:

5. 95% of dieters are recidivists |

You don't lose fat cells, you only shrink them. They starve inside you screaming to be fed. If you are not single-mindedly committed to making weight maintenance the number one priority in your life, those fat cells eventually get their way. Ask Oprah.

6. You would think that by now, some surgeon would have come up with an operation |
|
that removes the actual fat cells (escpecially in the belly)..Once they were gone, it would be easier to not "plump them up " again..
I'd sign up for it immediately :)

7. The closest they've come is liposuction |

I don't trust it. I think bariatric surgery in general is more aptly called barbaric surgery, and they don't have enough understanding of its long-term effects on the body.
Before I ran out of insurance coverage my internist urged me to submit to gastric bypass. The duodenal loop had not yet been introduced and I found distressing information about the mortality rate and long-term effects of the bypass procedure. More specifically, I found a lack of information. The studies just weren't there, or the results weren't available to nonprofessionals, but there was plenty of anecdotal evidence that life after bypass was not necessarily better than life without it. Admittedly some of the sources were from fat activists and of questionable reliability, but the doctors I was dealing with could offer me nothing but their word that I would be healthier if I let them slice open my stomach wall and remove large portions of my intestines, which was the only procedure offered. So I refused to comply. I said I would not be a guinea pig once again. So they washed their hands of me. The adjustable loop may be a better solution but I can't afford it, so I'll never know.
I believe that in a hundred years doctors will look back and compare the way obese patients are treated today to the way psychiatric patients were treated a hundred years ago. Barbaric is the best word I can find for it.
