Foreword
I only eat 1000 kcal per day, but I don’t lose weight
But I really only eat 1000 kcal a day and still can’t lose weight
Counting calories doesn’t work for me
My slim friend eats way more than me
My metabolism is wrecked
Eating too little is dangerous: you’re left with no energy and reduced muscle mass
I only ate an apple a day and I still put on weight
Disease and medication can make you fat, and there’s nothing you can do about it. (My doctor said so.)
Obesity is largely due to your genes
Gut bacteria make you fat
[Fat logic for women] Childbirth automatically makes you fat
You gain weight as you get older because your metabolism slows down
My metabolism is slower than other people’s
I can’t lose weight because I can’t exercise
BMI is bullshit: my weight is muscle
Being overweight isn’t even that bad for you
But my blood-test results are great!
What about overweight athletes?
It’s actually healthier to be slightly overweight than to be normal weight
Just because excess weight is associated with illnesses, that doesn’t necessarily mean it causes them
Thin people can get sick, too
Who says it’s definitely the weight that makes you sick?
At least fat people are less likely to get osteoporosis
According to the obesity paradox, overweight people have a better survival rate for some diseases
Your set point determines your weight
The 60 per cent of the population who are overweight can’t all be ‘lazy’ and ‘weak-willed’
We’re all being taken for a ride by the diet industry
I know someone who lost loads of weight on this new diet — it alters your metabolism, so you can eat as much as you want
Healthy eating is just too expensive. It doesn’t matter how much you eat, what’s important is what you eat
95 per cent of all diets end in failure
Yo-yo dieting is way more unhealthy than being fat
You have to give your body what it wants. Constant restriction is unhealthy
I’d rather enjoy life!
You have to follow these certain rules to lose weight
If losing weight was really that easy, everyone would be thin
XY will speed up your metabolism
You’re bound to put on weight if you stop smoking
Food with negative calories: eat more to weigh less!
If you want to lose weight, eat more fruit
Slimming products just make you fat
Calorie counting is an eating disorder and spoils your enjoyment of eating
The day’s ruined now, anyway
You should never lose more than a pound a week
I could never be really thin, my body isn’t built that way
[Male fat logic] Being a normal weight would make me a ‘puny weakling’
Being overweight doesn’t impede me in anything
If I were thin, all my problems would be solved
[Female fat logic] Weight training? No, thanks. I don’t want to be muscly
I’ve gained weight since I started exercising, so it must be muscle mass
Before I try to lose weight, I need to find out why I’m fat
I’m doing everything right, but I’ve stopped losing weight
Counting calories is stupid — you can never count them accurately, anyway
I can’t lose weight because I’m depressed
Weighing yourself every day is bad for you
Being overweight is an illness
A gastric band is a quick and simple solution
My family, friends, and acquaintances don’t think I need to lose weight
The problem with being overweight is overstated (I don’t call it obesity)
Doctors blame everything on weight
You’ll slip into anorexia before you know it!
Overweight people already face enough discrimination as it is!
This ideal of extreme thinness is just a modern ‘fashion trend’
Men like women to have a bit of meat on them
People who say that overweight people are unattractive are against body acceptance
When I lose weight, I’ll finally like myself
All that doesn’t apply to me, thank goodness …
Keeping the weight off is the most difficult part
[Anti-fat logic] Now, I’d still like to know a few tricks!
