Stoid, Are You Still Confident that You Know a Lot about Diet and Obesity?

By the way, I was reading about a study the other day where some people who had weight loss surgery had deep fat removed at the same time as the surgery; and some didn’t.

There was not a difference in outcomes. If you think I am making this up, I can try to find a cite for you.

Also, just a couple days ago I read this article.

It seems that the “healthy obese” have larger numbers of smaller fat cells, all things being equal.

I’m right there with you on thinking that Stoid isn’t as knowledgeable about diet and weight loss as she claims to be, but why do you keep bumping this every month or so? You just look like you’re obsessing over her.

Actually my obsession at the moment is with the fat cell issue – my “bump” posts address this issue and not stoid and her self-proclaimed expertise.

If it has nothing to do with the title and subject of the thread, shouldn’t it be a new one? It’s up to you, I don’t care one way or the other. Just letting you know how it looks to the peanut gallery. I’ll bow out now.

I don’t know what the etiquette is . . . the fat cell issue does fall under the general heading of diet and obesity.

Thanks for your concern :rolleyes:

brazil84: You need a new hobby, IMHO. You started this thread some time ago and it is much ado about nothing, plus Stoid’s routinely proved herself to be a know-nothing. Put her on ignore and be done with it.

Actually I’ve had her on ignore for a while now, due to an exchange in one of the George Zimmerman threads.

As I mentioned to Ashtar, I’ve become very interested in the issue of fat cells. The conventional wisdom seems to be that if you become fat at some point in your life, your body creates a lot of new fat cells which develop their own agenda, so to speak, and make it difficult to subsequently lose weight and maintain weight loss. But evidence has been coming out that this idea is incorrect.

That’s the main reason I have bumped this thread. Perhaps I will start a new thread on it.

So what’s your BMI these days?

Timely followup, but you might want to send a PM reminder.

Guess he still hasn’t found that new hobby.

Nor learned a blame thing about science either, no doubt.

You’ll never get laid with a pick-up line like that.

Probably not, but if you had visible abs it might work. :slight_smile:

…and do you?

If not, I can probably dig up a scalpel.

I can’t be the only one who imagines what was there before the never-mind. Anyway, BigT, that was hilarious, although it skirted the line.

Based on history, I would guess that yet again he accused me of violating my own rules of discussion.

You should stop doing that.

What’s your BMI* nowadays, brazil84? Still in the top decile?
