You know, I'm no medical professional, and so honestly don't know.

The gigantic primitive's been on this plateau for the longest time.

So the way I see it, there's three possibilities of why that is:

(a) lack of physical activity;
(b) if the diet is as stated, it's not a weight-losing diet; or
(c) the gigantic primitive's lying about how much, and what, he gorges down.

Anybody care to theorize?

I mean, I've never heard of a potatoes-and-rice diet being recommended for weight loss, but of course I haven't heard everything, and so maybe it is.

(A) He gets plenty of excerise. Jumping to conclusions and throwing his weight around.

(B) It ain't the potatoes. It's the 2 lb. of butter he puts on top.

(C) He's a DUmmy. They lie. All the time. They lie.

He's lying about what and how much he's eating.  Plain and simple.  Ever looked to see just how many calories you have to take in to maintain 400 + lbs.?  Even with no physical activity you have to take in a BUNCH of calories to keep that weight on.

I don't know if this is accurate or not but here is something I found;

Quote
Men:
66 + (6.3 x weight in pounds) + (12.9 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)

Please note that this formula applies only to adults.

Now that is supposed to give you a BMR.  Then you use this;

Quote
Calculate Activity
Step two: In order to incorporate activity into your daily caloric needs, do the following calculation:

•If you are sedentary : BMR x 20 percent

•If you are lightly active: BMR x 30 percent

•If you are moderately active (You exercise most days a week.): BMR x 40 percent

•If you are very active (You exercise intensely on a daily basis or for prolonged periods.): BMR x 50 percent

•If you are extra active (You do hard labor or are in athletic training.): BMR x 60 percent

Add this number to your BMR.

Using that formula, and if my math and guess are correct I came out with;  4007.4 calories needed to maintain

I used;

420#'s for his weight;
75" for his height;
50 years old;
Sedentary.

If I'm right on the figures and guesses then ol' Giganto here needs to eat 7 Big Macs per day (or the equivalent) to maintain this weight.  I'll bet he eats more than that .....

I think it would take more calories than that but this was a quick search and my figures may be off.

Damn, that's good research, sir, and I thank you.

The gigantic primitive is only 40 years old, and allegedly 6'3".

And stuck at 440 pounds.

Would he need at least one more Big Mac to maintain that?

Well, using those numbers I came up with 4,240.2 calories to maintain 440#'s for a total of 7.36 Big Macs per day.

...... only 40 years old?!  Damn.  What a friggin' waste of skin.

It gets worse when one figures in the 40 years of age.

I come up with 6928 calories a day, but I used pen-and-paper, not a calculator, and so I might be off.

Are you putting his height in inches?  Here is the formula as I'm seeing it;

66 + 2,772 + 967.5 - 272 = 3533.5

3533.5 x .2 = 706.7

3533.5 + 706.7 = 4240.2

If that number is right and Giganto is claiming to eat rice and beans he would need to eat;

21.56 cups  of rice and beans per day just to maintain the weight.   :o

KC

ETA; this works out to a gallon and one third of rice and beans per day.

Okay, Texacon, sir, I did it again.

You are correct, circa 4240 calories a day.

I had missed a decimal point when scribbling; when I'm using pen-and-paper, the cats like to play with the end of the pen swirling around, and I goofed.

So then.....assuming the posted photograph of the gigantic primitive is really the gigantic primitive, his weight of circa 440 pounds and his age of 40 years seems credible.

And if that is so, then the gigantic primitive's either lying about his chow intake, or lying about what his chow intake consists of, or both.

Reasonable?

When I was looking some of that stuff up I realized that if Giganto did just a LITTLE bit of exercise and still ate that amount of food he would be losing weight.  I don't mean anything harsh either.  3 x per week x 20 minutes of MILD exercise and he would be losing weight.

Or he could just eat 15 cups of the rice and beans and the weight would be falling off him.

 :whatever:

Absolutely. 

99.9% of overweight people delude themselves on what they actually eat.  (yeah, I pulled that stat out of my butt).  I have read several articles about overweight people being put on a diet of what they 'claim' to eat and every one of them lost weight.

Then if you add in the water it takes to cook all that rice and beans, you see why I said she mixes his food with a shovel, in a washtub. The slug eats exactly like a hippopotamus at the zoo, and has a physique to match.

A gallon of food a day?  Who has that kind of time?  I bet if it was the same thing every day for every meal, he'd lose interest in eating.  Slip him a couple vitamins and let him fend for himself.

This is a really interesting thread~ albeit the colorful vignette's.
Obesity is a leading killer in this country~Diabetes is #1 and the two go hand in hand. It is something that should not be taken lightly and we all know that. Logic will tell us that even if we are not as eloquent with the math as Texacon and Franksolich are; if we exercise and eat correctly, we should loose weight.
However, the math is not that simple when you begin to look at it from the heart. This man and his marriage is obviously troubled. We all have our demons and we have to be frank with ourselves and know that any and all addictions are hard to deal with.
It is so easy to tell someone what to do or to hand them a formula for success. The one thing that we cannot do it look into the soul of that person and get the cobwebs out and see the real ghosts. Can we shoo away the ghosts or rewire the obvious bad wiring?
He and his wife suffer from the same demons, but his is easier to see. Just as the smoker is easy to spot or smell. NO ONE is exempt- none are perfect! They are each others support system. Every addict has some sort of support system.
Look in the mirror- name your demon(s)- name your support system!
We are all aware that there are reality shows about the obese and that there are Nursing homes that cater to them. I watch them from time to time and I am truly amazed that so many are given quality care and unbelievable opportunity and still remain in a seemingly endless loop of hopelessness.
Also- I am sure that you are know that our tax dollars are spent on all of their associated pathologies. Even drug addicts and alcoholics~ they get disability and/or jail time.
No matter- it is obvious that we are not offering these "addicts" what they really need. BUT- what do they really need?
At any rate- after the holidays, I would like to do a post on addictions and obesity in the health section. I do hope that you join me there to see if we can discuss these problems.
