I have previously found that they do not.

In the meantime, I look forward to seeing citations to support your claims.

No citations will be forthcoming. I'm not working for an advocacy
group, and whether you personally believe me or not is of no importance
to me.


In other words, you post here only to stroke your own ego.

But Mr. Snyder is not talking of being in a coma, on a precisely
controlled feeding regimin - he is talking about lying in bed
consuming food all day.

He is suggesting notions that are incorrect. There is a slight increase
in metabolism while eating, because energy must be expended to digest
food and absorb nutrients, but it is trivial--not nearly as significant
as he would seem to wish to have others believe.


You just managed to snip everrythjing that points out that you are,
again/still talking absolute nonsense.

If you lie around in bed all day doing nothing but eat, you WILL put
on weight.

I certainly haven't seen you provide any FACTS to support your
wild-eyed theories.

I expect intelligent people to do their own research, by consulting
reliable sources. They should never believe what they read here without
independent verification.


When you make outrageous claims, it is up to you to provide
documentation of those claims. Since you admit that you don't care if
people believe you or not, I, for one, certainly will not bother to do
the research that proves that you are an incompetent asshole.

No, I post here to inform people who have no religious attachment to any
particular fad diet, and who simply wish to lose weight.

What I'm describing is the reality of human nutrition and weight
control, something that anyone can look up for himself if he feels so
inclined. The literature is extremely extensive and coherent. Nobody
without a specific agenda questions the fundamentals of weight gain and
loss today.

If you lie around in bed all day doing nothing but
eat, you WILL put on weight.

It depends on how much you eat.

I don't see anything outrageous about pointing out that consuming fewer
calories than you burn will produce weight loss, and consumer more
calories than you burn will produce weight gain. It's simple physics.

or not, I, for one, certainly will not bother to do
the research that proves that you are an incompetent asshole.

Good. You might find it more difficult than you anticipated.

anytime you point out how the fatties became fatty fatty
fatso porkerbeast creatures, there is going to be outrage
among the fattest of the fat.

In order to inform people, you need to post meaningful content. You
don't.

The real difference between "naturally" thin people and the
easy-to-be-fat variety is in the difference in the amount of
spontaneous, unconscious activity that is carried out. Fat people just
sit there. Thin people squirm, fidget, climb around in their chair.

The real difference is that thin people eat less food than fat people

This is exactly like the equally-misleading statement that "men are paid
more than women". It is true in the aggregate, but by no means a sure
bet between any two individuals, and implies a causal relationship that
is in no way implied by the correlation. It is trivially easy to find
a thin person and a fat person where the thin one eats more. Just as
one is not paid more JUST because one is a man, people are not fat or
thin JUST because they eat more.

There is no such difference.

It is nice to meet a person who knows more than all the experts.
Since you are obviously worth billions, I wonder if I might
trouble you for, say, a tenth of a percent of the interest on
your cash holdings?
