Mega-Obesity Syndrome

The Prader-Willi Syndrome: LANSING, Mich. - Firefighters cut a hole in the side of a house and used a forklift to extricate a 900-pound man from his second-floor bedroom after a visiting nurse became worried about his health. Rescue workers were called in Tuesday by the nurse, who determined the 33-year-old man needed medical help, Fire Chief Tom Cochran said. Cochran said the man had not left his home since 2003.
The man's brother, who lives with him, said he suffers from Prader-Willi Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that creates a chronic hunger feeling that can lead to overeating and life-threatening obesity. Rescue workers brought in a forklift, high enough to raise a platform to a hole cut into the wall of the house. They covered the man with a blue tarp to shield him from onlookers and slid the platform onto a flatbed truck for a trip to Sparrow Hospital.

Commentary: Instead of the Prader-Willi Syndrome it should be called the "Gigantic Fat Fuck" syndrome. Instead of covering the man with a tarp so he won't be humiliated, they should keep his lard-ass on the flat-bed truck and drive him around town so everyone can see what happens to people who have no shame, no self-respect, no discipline, and no guts. At 900 lbs., these gigantic blobs have a tube taped into their pee-hole because they can't go to the restroom or find their weiner. At the risk of offending the sensitive, let me say that there is no way that I can imagine anyone getting to over 500 pounds unless their family is insane or they just want to kill the obese person. At some point when a person hits 500 lbs., they cannot walk any more and are laid out on a king size mattress day and night. Who feeds these people? What are they feeding them with, a shovel? To maintain any weight over 500 pounds a person has to literally eat over 5,000 calories every day of the year.
If a guy cannot walk to the refrigerator, it seems to me that the easiest thing to do is SHUT THE DOOR and turn up the stereo and let the fucker starve for a few months. Sure, give him water and salads, but for Christ's sake if a guy cannot get off the fucking mattress due to obesity, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Don't just keep feeding the bastard until he weighs a frikkin ton!! This is my gripe about the family members of all the mega-gigantically obese. Those guys that get sent to a spa for a year and lose 500 pounds and then gain it back should be taken to a special section of their local zoo. Put them under a shady canopy near a wading pool. Feed them a bucket of salads and vegetables every day until they reach normal weight. It would boost public support of zoos and help the mega-obese at the same time.
Am I the only one who is tired of Discovery Channel documentaries like "Honey, you're killing the fat kids." Stop overfeeding! Eat less and be happy!! Next issue: Obese kids and the mean people who make fun of them.

Met-Rx Big 100

One of the best-tasting protein bars that I have tried are the Met-Rx Big 100 meal replacement bars. While these are not a diet food, the fact that it is nutritionally complex enough to be a meal replacement bar says that you could try to lose weight by eating one or two of these bars instead of a couple of meals. The Big 100 bars are fortified with at least 40% of the US RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of Vitamin A, C, E, B-6, B-12, Calcium, Iron, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folic Acid, Biotin, Phosphorus, Iodine, Zinc, and Copper. Unlike some protetin bars, I have not experience constipation from eating these Big 100 bars. When it comes to protein supplements, sometimes they can have some side effects on your digestive process, so finding a better quality product that you can eat every day without any worries is a major positive.

The Big 100 bars provide 27 grams of Metamyosin protein (a blend of milk protein, whey isolates, egg protein, l-glutamine), which is pretty good, but five grams less than the Protein-Plus bars (also by Met-Rx). The Big 100 bars are tasty. The Big 100 bars also post 360 calories (and 51 grams of carbohydrates) into your calorie counter, so they are not for snacking!! My favorite is the Chocolate Chip flavor. It literally has chocolate chips in every

bite. It should have more than 360 calories considering how delicious it is! I have also tried the Chocolate Chip Graham Cracker flavor, and I honestly found it to have a very strong Graham Cracker flavor that I did not like. It was somewhere between too Grahamy sweet and just plain nauseating. These bars are all artificially flavored, and the Graham Cracker version tasted very un-natural. Since this is a new flavor, the odds are that it will be re-calibrated eventually and maybe it will taste better. If you are a fan of Graham Crackers (I am not), you might like it. Try it out and let me know what you think! At most stores (like CVS Pharmacies) these bars are $1.99. If you buy them at a 7-11 they are $2.59. Amazon.com sells a case of 12 bars for $19.59.

I have also tried the Peanut Butter flavor, and it is not bad. It does not taste like Skippy's peanut butter, or a Reese's PB cup. It has a somewhat diluted peanut butter flavor, but it should be good enough for a peanut butter lover. If you have tried it, let me know what you think of it. Have you ever tried any of the Big 100 bars? What did you think of them? How did you use them in your dieting and/or training regimen?

Update: 9/29/07: At several stores there are $1.00 off coupons for these Met-Rx bars and CVS Pharmacy usually has them at $1.99. Sometimes (like now), they have these bars at 2 for $3.00. Unfortunately, many times these bars seem to have been subjected to high temperatures during transportation, and they are literally melted into a pasty substance when you open them up. The chocolate chip cookie dough bars become a crumbly goo. I have bought many of them like this, and they taste a bit like rancid peanut butter. I think that Met-Rx may also be changing the formula and putting less cookie dough and more peanut paste into these bars. If you are buying Met-Rx protein bars, stay away from the ones that are soft, as they taste like stale peanut butter instead of chocolate chip cookie dough.

Unfortunately, it seems like Met-Rx changed the formula on the cookie-dough protein bars. Now they have 370 calories instead of 360, and they have 28 grams of protein instead of 27. The taste is awful unless you like peanut butter paste. The new cookie dough bars are very soft and sticky. A good portion of the bar will stick to the foil wrap. So you throw away a lot of it or else scrape it off the foil. For now, I am staying away from the Met-Rx bars.

More Mickey D

Here is some more love for McDonald's! They make great apple pies, excellent value items like the McChicken sandwich and fries for a dollar each, and they have tried to push salads and healthy Happy Meals too. However, for the past fifty years they have mostly promoted greasy and unhealthy food. The only changes McDonald's menu and ingredients (and other fast food restaurants) have usually been made in response to public outcry or medical reports condemning their menu.


#1-I'm Gumming It!!

#2-This is a McNugget that allegedly was made from the entire chicken head. I bet it was crunchy.

#3-This is wheelbarrow-boy, he used to have his own weight loss blog but he quit.


#4-In some parts of the world, they do eat fried rats. A little ketchup and some Big Mac sauce...YUM!

#5-This guy likes to make the special sauce by hand.

#5-McRat


#6-McSuper-Sized


#7-Alguin habla Espanol?? Te gusta el Grande Mac?


#8-This is the new all you can eat McBuffet.


#9-Super-Size Ronald


#10-So Good!


#11-Young Zatoichi

#12-Fat arm
Which one of these is your favorite McDonald's spoof advertisement?

Sexy McDonalds?

Not everything by McDonalds is unhealthy. The apple pies at two for a dollar are a great bargain. I often buy them on my way home and the fam loves them as after-dinner desert! Here are some of the most beautiful examples of McDonalds art that I could find on the internet. For the ladies, we start off with a Ronald McDonald who keeps his eggs and ham where everyone can see the goods.




Getting paid in free Happy Meals?

If it does not fit, then you must acquit!





This is a Filipino Ronald McDonald ad campaign. She is definitely cuter than Ronald.






The girl with the red hair is from a Japanese ad campaign for McDonalds.

Weekly Weight Loss Winners: This past week I had to go through every blog with a fine-toothed comb and chart the winners because there was just so much weight loss going on! Nearly everyone lost weight. It was downright scary to see so many bloggers surging forward towards their wieght loss goals! Celtic Girl lost 2.64 lbs., Captain Jeff has lost about six pounds over the past three weeks. Wanna B Slim lost 2.86 lbs., and Arlene lost three pounds since her last posting... I hate having to split hairs, because I think that everyone that lost weight is a champion. However, I think it is within scientific margin of give-and-take to estimate that Arlene and Wanna B Slim tied at about 2.9 lbs. We all know that any scale is always a bit off within a percentage point or so. An underground earth tremor that is too faint for the human senses can still trigger a slight reprecussive effect on the Swiss springs and electric grid within the processing unit schematics of any normal digital scale. Not to mention that the magnetic pulse from the earth's gravitational pull also affects your scale. Since this is an international forum where we have folks on one side of the planet weighing in at different times than folks from other sides of the planet, it is only logical to take into account these factors since a person who weighs 300 lbs. in Texas might only weigh 299 in Alaska or 298 in New Zealand at the same time and under the same conditions (or vice versa). Wanna B Slim Shrekking out!

Weekly Weight Loss Winner: Last week it wasn't even close! Cactus Freak blew everyone away with a loss of 5.7 lbs. (2.6 kilos)!!! That's a lot of weight lost in one week! Cactus then went on vacation with her family, and right now she is travelling across Australia. She won't be back for almost two weeks, so visit her blog and congratulate her if you can spare a few seconds. It will give CF a big surprise for when she returns! Cactus has been following her calories on the Aussie version of Calorie-Count. com and it has helped her control her over-eating. Cactus Freak is another long-time supporter, encourager, and all-around good person who I admire a lot. It is good to see her getting her MOJO going and slimming down!! Even though CF lost a lot of weight in one week, she fell off the wagon right before her weigh-in! She found bags of M&Ms on clearance at the market, and all the chocolatey goodness at a bargain price was too much temptation! It just goes to show that even a Weight Loss Champion can suffer a defeat at the hands of Chocolate! Can anyone resist Chocolate?? In fact, it was chocolate fundraisers for school that triggered my own fall when I was at 266 lbs. back in February!! I have yet to get back to 266...

Best wishes to you, Patty, and to everyone else who is visiting! Keep working on your weight loss. Don't give up!

Piano Songs of the 1970s

Many years ago my friends and I were sitting around wondering which was the best piano song of the 1970s, and these were our nominees. What do you think of these songs? They are all very good, and they were all very popular. In the 1970s, there were probably hundreds of popular piano songs, which ones were your favorites?


Does anyone remember Mandy by Barry Manilow? On some days, this song would be playing on every radio station at the same time. Talk about a cross-over hit!


Then there is Billy Joel! He had a lot of great hit songs, but this one is one of my favorites now. Kind of a gutsy song.


Before Elton John was singing on the Lion King, he was a great rock and roller who used to feature some great guitar licks along with his piano playing. Madman Across the Water is one of his hardest rocking songs. Does anyone remember when Elton John rocked hard?


Then there is Jethro Tull. They are mostly remembered for Ian Anderson's flute but My God has some good piano and guitar riffs. Another fave. Which one of these do you like best? The videos of these songs are not very good, but these were the best versions that I could find.

Popcorn Lung!

(Colorado) A man who microwaved and ate two to three bags of extra-buttered popcorn a day for a decade has come down with a dangerous lung disease, apparently the first public case of "popcorn lung". Popcorn lung, or broncheolitis obliterans, permanently scars airways, eventually leaving victims fighting for breath and dependent on oxygen. Safety experts identified the disease in workers in popcorn factories in 2002. After treating a Colorado furniture salesman, 53, earlier this year, doctors at the National Jewish Medical and Research Centre in Denver warned federal agencies. "We cannot be sure that this patient's exposure to butter-flavoured microwave popcorn has caused his lung disease," wrote the hospital's Cecile Rose."However, we have no other plausible explanation."

In response to the news, the Flavour and Extract Manufacturers Association on Tuesday recommended that members who made butter flavours with diacetyl consider cutting its concentration. The association made it clear there was no suggestion of risk from eating popcorn. "No, it's inhalation," Dr. Rose said. "This patient described enjoying the smell so much he was actually inhaling the steam." Dr. Rose said she had been surprised by the man's condition. "So I turned to him and apologised and said, 'This is a really weird question. But are you around a lot of popcorn?' His jaw dropped, and he said, 'How did you know to ask me that? I am popcorn.' He described himself as a two-pack-a-day user. Sometimes more." “When he broke open the bags, after the steam came out, he would often inhale the fragrance because he liked it so much,” Dr. Rose said. “That’s heated diacetyl, which we know from the workers’ studies is the highest risk.” Dr. Rose measured levels of diacetyl in the man’s home after he made popcorn and found levels of the chemical were similar to those in microwave popcorn plants. She asked the man to stop eating microwave popcorn. “He was really upset that he couldn’t have it anymore,” Dr. Rose said. “But he complied.” Six months later, the man has lost 50 pounds and his lung function has not only stopped deteriorating but has actually improved slightly, Dr. Rose said. “This is not a definitive causal link, but it raises a lot of questions and supports the recommendation that more work needs to be done,” Dr. Rose said.

What if someone liked the smell of spotted dick so much that she ate several cans a day and inhaled the aroma? Can you get Spotted Dick Lung?




Cheetos Asault! A 22-year-old man has been arrested for assaulting his father with a bag of Cheetos. Patrick Hamman started arguing with his father, Michael, on Sunday night. Patrick, who lives with his father in Iowa, picked up a bag of Cheetos and threw it at him, hitting him in the face, the Des Moines Register reported. The bag hit Michael in the glasses, causing a cut to the bridge of his nose. The police report , which listed the bag of Cheetos as an assault weapon, said: "Michael's T-shirt was also covered in Cheetos dust."



Has anyone ever been addicted to this?

Weekly Weight Loss Winner 17

Monthly Recap: I worked out with weights on five days this month. I exercised for 855 minutes of cardio. In July I did 1340 minutes of cardio (mostly on the elliptical trainer). In June I did 1345 minutes of cardio. In August I did about 500 minutes less than each of the previous two months. What did I do with the extra eight hours that I was not exercising? I spent those hours on the couch watching television and eating lots of food. That is my favorite hobby. This month I averaged 194 grams of protein per day, which is way up from my norm. I appreciate keeping track of my food intake, as I have been trying to make sure my protein is higher. Protein helps to build muscle. You are supposed to eat one gram of protein per day for each pound of your bodyweight. In my case, that would be about 285 grams of protein per day. The bad news is that I also averaged 3,080 calories per day. I hit over 4,ooo calories on three days. I ate over 3,000 calories of food on fifteen days of the month. Basically I was dieting every-other-day! What a slacker! I don't drink alcoholic beverages at all, so we are talking strictly chowing down massive quantities of food. This is a photo of what my diet effort looked like for this month, and the results of all that food intake!

Best Blog Friend Award: Every month, Mick (World of Mick) posts the names of the bloggers who post the most comments on his blogs. I think that is a nice way to thank the folks that like my blogs the most. I think we all put a lot of time into our respective blogs, and it is nice to know that the blog touches some hearts and minds. This is the first Best Blog Friend Award, and the winner is Angelfish with ten posts! Thank you Patty (Angelfish-24)! You are one of the earliest visitors to my blog, and your many positive comments over the past year or two have been a constant source of inspiration. Christine had 9, and Celtic Girl had 7! Thanks girls! You wonderful folks make blogging fun! Captain Jeff and his alter-ego had 15, but I am not sure which ones were the real CJ and which ones were the evil twin. Sorry Cap, but I am confused and it is too late in the night for me to be checking the profile on each post to figure out which ones are by you. I appreciate that you do contribute a lot, and I hope you and your stalker get things sorted out eventually. I guess it is not fun to have an evil twin creating bogus comments on other blogs. I hope everyone will support CJ and visit his blog and show CJ that he still has blog friends!

Lean Cuisine Santa Fe Style Rice and Beans: Following the example set by Dieting Simply, I am going to review a frozen meal. I heated this Santa Fe Rice and Beans up today, and I liked it. It was not great, but it was not awful. It had less calories (290) than one of my favorite Met-Rx protein bars (360), and it was a lot more filling. Dieting Simply reviewed this same meal back in April. His version was soupy and the beans were hard. Mine was fine and the beans were OK. I had not tried any frozen meals in a long time. My daughter tried a little of it and she complained that it has a strong after-taste. In my experience with frozen foods, most of them have a lot more after-taste than a regular fresh-cooked meal. I think this might be due to preservatives or maybe because the food has been laying around at the store freezer several months or a year before it is eaten. I put a lot of hot sauce on my portion and I liked it, but it did have a weird after-taste that I think was the creamy sauce. Another problem that I have with frozen foods is that I usually want to add some grated cheese or other condiments to it so it won't taste like dehydrated military rations. That shoots up the calories accordingly. For 290 calories, it was pretty good.

Weekly Weight Loss Winner: Saw Balls of Fury on Saturday and Christopher Walken made it a lot funnier than it should have been. Dan Fogler needs to start blogging about his weight loss. He definitely was about twenty pounds too heavy for a fat guy in a comedy movie. This week it looked like Angelfish had it all wrapped up with a spectacular 2.5 pound loss (1.13 kilos). Patty has been having a particularly rough time with some recent events that she chronicles at her blog. If you have a heart, drop by and say hello to Patty, please. Then Celtic Girl clocked in with a 2.64 lbs. (1.2 kg) weight loss! Captain Jeff lost 3.3 lbs! After gaining 9 pounds he has slowly gotten back to where he was. Fat Daddy was catching up, but Captain Jeff has once again pulled away! However, Lyn made a major surge and literally fasted in her basement for a couple of days until she lost 4.4 lbs (2 KGs). Lyn has been having some computer problems and her online time is limited, so hopefully she will be able to get her computer fixed soon!

Hot Coffee-n-Chicks

Today I was at the local cafeteria getting a cafe cubano. Cuban coffee is much thicker than any European espresso, and it has a fuller taste. You can really taste the caffeine. You can feel your brain cells speeding up and your heart starts beating faster. Cafe cubano is ten times stronger than espresso. When it is as thick as ink, then it is really good. Some places make a watery version of cafe cubano that is not that powerful. If you order a colada you get about six ounces for about a dollar. Anyhow, I had been buying my cafe at this little bakery near the gym that I go to. All the servers are friendly older ladies. Unfortunately, some of my favorite friendly waitresses have moved on to other jobs (or retired?), and now most of the waitresses at the little bakery are younger, dumpy-looking, and unhappy. They never say hello and they look right through me when they are taking my order and serving me. So I walked an extra block to this other cafeteria which has food by the pound, fresh fruits, fruit juices made on the spot, etc. Here the waitresses all have tight outfits and some amazing cleavage. Even though they are all over thirty, it is amazing to see them moving around. I had not been here before. The waitress that served me looked like she had some enhancements to her body, as she was close to forty and yet rock-hard. She smiled at me and gave me my cafe, and as I walked away I noticed that I was literally bouncing. It wasn't the caffeine that had me bouncing away, it was the waitress. That got me thinking about the Art of Waitressing, and so I diverted the time that I might have spent getting into trouble into preparing this tribute to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of Waitresses. Since several people complained about the pictorial of Fat Girls, here I am trying to redeem myself (but maybe not succeeding?). Check them out and then vote on your favorite and/or least favorite waitresses!

Vintage and/or Older Waitresses: These are those (usually) friendly mature ladies that can either give you a very warm homey feeling (like if your dear old Mom was serving you at home), or they can be shrill and annoying.

OW#1- Do you remember Nancy Walker? She played Rosie, the annoying, know-it-all waitress who was always spilling things and carried around a roll of Bounty towels. She was also in a 1970s TV series called McMillan and Wife, where she played Rock Hudson's maid. Rock Hudson played the role of a Police Commissioner who solved crimes on an alternating schedule with Colombo (Peter Falk), McCloud (Dennis Weaver), and Banacek (George Peppard). Do you like a bossy waitress? For example, if you order steak would you like her to tell you that the meatloaf is better? Sometimes a waitress can help you make better selections. On the other hand, if you are in the kind of diner where you need to watch out for food poisoning, then maybe it is time to find a new place to dine.

Here is Nancy Walker when she was much younger, in the 1940s.


OW#2- This is a photo from the 1940s or 1950s. That waitress (is it Ethel Merman) sure has a sour look on her face. I imagine that waitressing has probably been a tough job since the beginning of time.


OW#3- This is a waitress serving coffee at a restaurant in France. Those Frenchies sure know about fine dining.


OW#4- She looks like the modern version of a bossy waitress. At least she is having fun.

OW#5- Remember Chock-Full-O-Nuts coffee shops? They used to have waitresses that dressed like this. Those were pretty good places for breakfast. I am not sure if they exist anymore. IHOP (International House of Pancakes) and Denny's are probably the major chains in the USA that have a breakfast/coffee menu. I don't think the Starbucks waitresses have a uniform, but I don't remember (do they have green outfits?).


OW#6- She looks like a friendly granny.

Unfriendly, Unhappy, Tired, and/or Bitchy Waitresses: Sometimes a hard day can break a person down. Some folks get a job out of necessity and don't want to do it and don't like dealing with people. Just like every other job or profession, some people excel and some people burn out. These are the waitresses that I would not want serving me. Do you like them? Agree or disagree? Post your comment and let the world know!


UW #1- Dumpy and unhappy? Some waitresses look like that. I guess they have many problems and worries (and very little income? Perhaps no health insurance?). Do sad looking servers bring you down?


UW#2- OK, when your waitress looks like she would like to fight you more than serve you that is not a good sign (though I think the lady in this photo is smiling?).


UW#3- It is not a good sign if your waitress looks like she just smelled an egg fart. Especially if she has that look on her face when she is talking to you. Is this her smile or her frownie-face?


UW# 4- Many young waitresses are aspiring models and/or actresses and/or members of a musical band. If your waitress is wearing her panties out and she thinks she is too cool for her job, is it a good time to ask for another server? Don't ask me why, but whenever I see a woman who has her panties noticeably sticking out over her jeans/dress I presume that she is grungy and unclean. What do you think?


UW#5- This one is easier. If your waitress looks like she wants to kill you, then you might not want to know what's in the "special sauce" on your burger.


UW#6- Some restaurants are really busy, and if you go during their peak hours, the staff can look overworked. If your waitress looks tired and sullen, is it time to ask for somebody else?


UW #7- Then there are the waitresses that are learning or just really bad. They get your order wrong, they get the wrong side dishes, they get the drinks wrong, and then they spill the food all over your mother-in-law on the day you are going to ask her for a big loan. OOPS!

The Great Waitresses! These are the ladies that make even an overcooked burger taste like filet mignon because they are like a bright ray of sunshine and they have a beaming smile and a positive attitude! I tip these ladies double or triple because they make any meal twice as good as it really was.


GW#1-That friendly smile makes any meal taste better!


GW#2- What a warm, friendly smile.


GW#3- Her smile says that she is going to give her best effort to make her customers feel special.


GW # 4- The beer hall waitresses in Germany are amazing. Each one of those mugs holds a liter of beer. This waitress has her hands taped up like a pro athlete (and she has a really friendly smile!).


GW #5- This one looks a bit like Annette Funicello (The Mouseketeers, Beach Blanket Bingo, etc.).


GW #6- Sometimes a skimpy outfit can make that friendly smile look a lot brighter!

GW#7- Those trays are heavy. I bet a waitress could probably lift heavy at the gym too.


GW# 8- Another friendly face. Who would you like to see serving your meal? A happy waitress or a mean, unhappy one? Vote on the sidebar for your favorite waitresses!

Exploitation? Someone commented on the Fat Girls pictorial that I was exploiting the people in the photos and making fun of them. Well, every day, every where you go, people look at you and they judge you. If you provide any kind of service, people also compare the level of service that they received from you to what they received from other people. You can't appreciate the good if not for the bad. Anyhow, don't expect a pictorial on waiters, as I avoid them in general. I like being served by women. They are prettier and nicer.
