Interesting bloke.

This guy from the BBC message board about obesity is either a wind up or a
freak of nature!

I do no exercise at all. I smoke 20 - 30 cigarettes a day. I drink more
lager or vodka/red bull than my "recommended allowance". I drive to work
(would be a 5 minute walk), I sit at a desk all day, In the evening I
usually watch 5-6 hrs of TV, I eat burgers, pizzas, fish and chips, crisps,
chocolate etc and very little fruit and veg. I am not overweight (slight
beer belly) and have not been seriously ill since childhood (Now 44). A
recent medical exam showed normal BP, below average cholesterol and normal
BMI. I admit that I could not do a 10 mile run or cycle 40 miles but I don't
want/need to so why should I exercise?

Because your cardiovascular system is ****ed and you'll die otherwise?

Er, no.

Well, I mean, if he is, so am I. 12/15 eggs (usually fried), over
250g butter, over 800 grams chocolate (plus all the hot choc I can drink),
loads of pasta and red meat in a week. I don't drink much (my definition
of binge drinking is "four pints in the same month) but I believe I more
than make that up in whipped cream. I'm 1m 85, 59 Kg. Used to be 57, I
gained 2 Kg in the 18 months since I started cycling again (after 10 years
of mostly sedentary life), which makes it my biggest and fastest weight
gain in my life - and that includes 6 years on and off on fattening diets.
My blood cholesterol is usually below minimum, and other fats are
extremely low. My BP is 60/90 and my BMI is below normal.

Oh yes, I smoke between 10 and 25 cigarettes a day, depending on stress,
level of p***ed-off-ness with my boss, number of security patches to
install on servers, and wife's need to put up new curtains EVERY saturday.

Why indeed? It's his funeral.

A classic example of why you should ignore anecdotal evidence in
favour of robust whole-population data...

He's not the only one. I distinctly remember a lady at work (as I was *jealous*
as hell of her), was very slim and she was a lovely person too. She made great
play of the fact she never exercised and she ate anything and often. I can
attest to the amount of chocolate, sweets and crisps she ate as well as the
amount of full-sugar soft drinks she consumed. I was genuinely astounded at the
amount she ate - she eating almost constantly throughout the day - and she
added insult to injury by saying she looked forward to a "proper dinner" when
she went home of an evening. This woman was a tall and willowy size 10, yet she
literally stuffed her face all day.

BAH!

Cheers, helen s

Oh. She sounds like a _really_ lovely person.
