sugary, fatty foods are not what makes you gain weight.
it is the number of calories that you intake vs what you burn.
if you have a laborous job then that would explain it.

If someone ate 2,000 calories of JUNK food all day...yeah, they would gain weight slowly but surely.

When you have a full balanced diet that comes to the same amount, your body is going to process it much easilier and take advantage of all of it.


An excess of anything will cause weight gain, but it's just a matter of self control....and if you find yourself still eating late at night and not wanting to gain weight, you know what you are doing...so get a grip.


I used to be in the same spot. I would just eat alllll night when I would smoke after work. I'm talking a box of honey buns, a half a pizza, half gallon of milk. Ugh. I cant believe I used to eat at that shit. I dont eat as much now in TWO days that I did in a few hours.

The feeling of waking up the next day...no thanks.

Good luck to anyone who's aspiring to loose weight and stay healthy

I've been thin since I started biking regularly at age 14 (I'm 32 now.)  My diet has varied, and lately it's been excellent.  Before I started biking I was a tad pudgy, but not much.  I did have problems in gym class, and that was affecting my grades.

I eat a diet of fruits and tree nuts, potatoes for complex carbs and lean meats.  In the summer I bike approximately 50 miles a week and supplement that by dancing, canoeing, hiking, or whatever I can think of.

If I radically altered my lifestyle, I suppose I could get fat.  But who wants the lack of energy and depression that goes with being fat?

I'm much the same, although it ebbs and flows. Some months, I'm the pinnacle of health.

Others, I'm a lazy fuck who does nothing but chain smoke and read all day long

You may not be putting on any pounds, but subsisting of a mcdonalds meal a day is incredibly unhealthy.

Weight and body fat are only singular indicators of health. You can be skinny as fuck, but if you're shoveling processed foods into your stomach every you WILL NOT be healthy.
