They Said What? Dean Blames the “gene”

By Flzine

Can those tell me who is complaining about the obesity “gene” what the “gene” is? I doubt you have a clue, I doubt you know a thing about the genetic cards that lead to being fat without STUFFING YOUR FACE!

Dean runs “Dean’s World” and by all accounts seemed like a moderately intelligent person. Be for warned folks, being smart in one area does not mean you are smart in another. Just because you think you know everything about a broad subject like society or politics, doesn’t mean you aren’t whining about how being overweight isn’t your fault.

Since Dean will see this link (via his wordpress) and likely read this, I have a word or two for him. I also recommend Dean, read my last post and see if you can’t find something in common.

Why am I mad at Dean?

Dean doesn’t get it, and worse he is spreading it to the masses. I can understand being duped by society, but don’t lead in the duping Dean!

Dean made a blog post discussing a study done that showed fat loss was based on a caloric deficit. If you didn’t know, that is what it takes.  In that blog post he comes across as understanding if you don’t take in account of activity, calories, and health then you aren’t going to lose fat.

Dean’s readers start to leave your basic wrong comments about the dogma of meal timing. Here are some highlights.

Yup, that’s exactly right, Zach. Any time you fast, like skipping dinner, your metabolism slows down, too.- Deadrody

What eating less and exercising more will never do, however, is allow chronically obese individuals to become slender and stay that way. To date, not one study in all of history has ever shown otherwise. If you’re fat and have been for a while (i.e. you didn’t just suddenly balloon up due to unusual life circumstances), you will still be fat long-term no matter what diet and exercise regimen you adopt. -Dean himself.

There will always be exceptions but unfortunately for the vast amount of obese people, it is NOT the rule. If it were that simple, we wouldn’t have an epidemic of morbidly obese people. So far, the only way someone morbidly obese can hope to get to a healthy weight or at least not be morbidly obese any longer is surgery. Even people who have bariatric surgery have weight rebounds, not always drastic but they always gain some back. -Scarlett

As you can see for any of you that have clients, read research, or understand science, they don’t know what they are talking about, and are playing a tiny violin. Worse, they are doing it in front of the whole world and giving even more reasons and excuses for people to not take into account the facts.

Because of these back and forth comments Dean makes a fresh new post about his effort of trying to lose fat for years and how he sadly, out of nowhere, gained 120 pounds. Well Dean guess what, you need to go to a hospital and fast my liberal friend if that is really true so that they can study this modern miracle.

Maybe all the time you spend not moving, blogging, watching TV shows, playing video games, watching YouTube videos, and twittering about the country has left you in the state you are in. Think about THAT Dean. Let me pull something…where is it…oh yes

“A man that size can complain all he wants about the justification of being obese as long as he realizes that 8 hours a day of sitting on his butt equals 650 calories burned. I bet one of his meals has that in calories, even if healthy. Until the world realizes the lack of movement, and how few calories are burned an hour by our daily lives we are going to continue to see a rise in the obesity epidemic.  Like it is usually the case, we only have ourselves to blame.” - Leigh Peele as transcribed from local CBS news station discuss a photo shown on air.

So Dean, go buy one more diet book and learn how fat loss works my friend. I got the best one for you right here.
