Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Beating a dead horse on fatness

Effortful physical exertion has many benefits (not walking or slow jogging, but heavy exertion) and should be pursued by anybody who desires to stay fit, but weight loss can only be achieved via diet. That means no carbs. It is settled science...


To Lose Weight, Eating Less Is Far More Important Than Exercising More


We take it for granted today, but it is an astonishing fact that, at least in the Western world, one of our challenges is dealing with too much cheap good high-caloric food. For regular folks, that's a first in human history.

Walk. Have a raw egg with your coffee. This will help control your appetite.

In Ireland, stir a raw egg into your morning Guiness.

Um, no. Eating is much easier to change and affect control on one's weight. You must do a lot of exercise to counteract one's poor diet.

Much easier to NOT eat the piece of pie than exercise it away.

I am an idiot. My comment is supportive of the blog post. Duh. My work day is a nightmare right now. That is the only excuse I have! LOL.

Still trolling, I see.

Maybe you could find a phrase besides "It's settled science". It seems that when I hear that term, it is made by someone(s) I have learned to distrust. (Typically I hear as it relates to climate change) I have developed a phobia towards that phrase.
