For the masses here - can you re-post that to this thread? which product was the spam for?

Two coworkers were discussing weight lose one day. I said, “I know how you can lose 20 lbs. of ugly fat instantly”. One of them bit. I said, “Cut your head off”.
But seriously, the kind of ads the OP mentioned are always on Yahoo mail, accompanied by the most amateur gifs I’ve ever seen- pictures that have absolutely nothing to do with whatever they’re trying to sell.
You’re not wrong. The only way to lose fat in a particular area of the body is surgical removal. If you want to lose belly fat some other way, you’re going to have to lose fat everywhere, meaning more exercise and less nomming.
Some drink or something that claimed to be full of free radicals, aka atoms and molecules that have an unpaired electron and are highly reactive because of it. They are a major cause of cellular aging and the general breakdown of the body because they essentially rip electrons out of perfectly fine working atoms which then become radicals which rip out more electrons creating more radicals and so on. Oxygen is particularly known for this behavior and it’s why we’re always being told to eat and drink things high in anti-oxidants because anti-oxidants get rid of oxygen free radicals.
As I recall, the funny bit of the spam was the description of the radicals in the spam as being stable which is a bit like describing a fire as chilly.
Nice one Glaeken. I’d say you’ve covered it more or less. Inflammation as well as clogging up of systems particularly in your later years are more responsible for an increase in belly fat than anything else.
It’s true that activity slows down as you grow older, so this also plays a role, but you can achieve significant results from something as simple as a liver cleanse. Remember, organs such as the liver also produce bile which is responsible for breaking down fat, so if it’s not functioning effectively then you’re bound to start accumulating fat.
I should stress, however, that this doesn’t apply to the lazy people who simply slouch and gorge on fast food, they need proper exercise and nutrition.
Basically, you need to understand your body metabolic type i.e whether you are a protein type, carbohydrate type or in between and simply tailor for feeding habits to your type. It’s not all about the amount of calories, but instead more on the type of calories. In other words, 1000 calories from carbohydrates and 1000 calories from protein will have different effects on fat storage, weight loss (lean muscle and fat) on different individuals depending on their protein type.
Now I will close of with one of those ‘tips’. If you want to lose belly fat, try turning you tap on ‘cold’ for about 30 seconds when having a shower. Let the water hit the large surface areas such as the back, shoulders and chest.
This cold shower will activate your brown fat, which is responsible for generating body heat. This burns up a fair amount of fat and plays a part in reducing your belly fat.
Well, geez, that last post just exemplifies the spam profile described earlier, no?
Local woman is 95 but looks 13!
She’s a vampire!
Yup, but when do we get the link?
Now wait a minute here. Not all free radicals are created equal. In fact, anti-oxidants work explicitly because the free radicals they form are stable. I suspect it’s also why vitamin E was shown to increase cancer in smokers. Free radicals are, after all, still reactive, and excessive anti-oxidants could lead to an increase in free radicals.
Ah, yes, that was the beta-hCG diet. Supposedly, beta-hCG will take away your hunger so you can tolerate what is essentially a starvation diet. It’s sort of a fad at some of the more woo-ey clinics, and some people have experienced great results. I have no idea what happens when you stop this, because it’s certainly not a permanent solution.
C’mon now. Did you see any links or any references? A question was asked an an answer given. All I did was add to that and help (or at least that’s what I thought I was doing). Would you rather nothing was said?
If that’s the case, I’m happy to silently read through the forum and not make any comments …
Perhaps I misremembered or lost something but that was my recollection of Smeghead’s post. I’m no chemist. I never could get my head around electron shells.
As far as I know, deliberately injesting free radicals is moronic. I was just pointing out that there is some chemical logic to it. The only way to truly quench an unpaired electron, is with another unpaired electron.
Your pregnancy test suddenly becomes negative again?
Is this possible? I’ve never heard of free radicals creating more free radicals.
A free radical is an unpaired electron. The only way to destroy an unpaired electron is with another unpaired electron, so yes, free radicals will go in making more free radicals until they pair up.
In my experience, if you successfully add a lot of vegtables to your normal diet and take a walk everyday, you get to live the life of a thin person. I lost 30 pounds, and hope to lose another 20.
Your first part just says free radical + free radical = 0 free radicals. They annihilate each other.
How is it possible to have unpaired + paired = 2 unpaired? It’s like saying odd number + even number = 2 odd numbers.
