Small Changes Can Equal Big Weight Loss | Fox News Latino
Making a New Year’s resolution to lose a significant amount of weight can be difficult. But when you focus on making small, manageable changes consistently, you can make a big difference in your diet.
FOX medical expert Deena Centofanti talks about how the small changes could help you lose more than 80 pounds.
Can this idiotic bint point to any reputable scientific studies – any at all – that actually demonstrate that this drivel is accurate?
Of course she can’t. Because it is horseshit of the purest ray serene.
About Bill Quick
I am a small-l libertarian with conservative leanings on most issues, except on many traditionally conservative social issues, where my stance would be regarded as hopelessly liberal by most social conservatives. My primary concern is to increase individual liberty as much as possible in the face of statist efforts to restrict it from both the right and the left. If I had to sum up my beliefs as concisely as possible, I would say, "Stay out of my wallet and my bedroom," "your liberty stops at my nose," and "don't tread on me." I will believe that things are taking a turn for the better in America when married gays are able to, and do, maintain large arsenals of automatic weapons, and tax collectors are, and do, not.
I used the 3500-calories-to-a-pound guideline as part of an eat-less-and-exercise-more plan several years ago and did lose about 80 pounds over the course of a year and a half. Just cutting out junk food won’t do it, though — that part is pure horseshit. The slow-and-steady part worked well for me.
Yes, the plural of anecdote is not data, I know.
When it comes to anything involving medicine / biochemistry, the first rule is that there are no rules that apply 100%. Each of us may have the same general response to a class of drugs, but there’s a wide variation. A couple of years ago, I had major surgery involving surgical drains which had to be changed out as things healed up. This was done under general anesthesia. My anesthesiologists said I woke up faster and with less grogginess than 90% of the patients they saw.
My surgeon commented (chief of abdominal surgery at Presbyterian Hospital Dallas) that he’s seen worse cases of pancreatitis, but none that ever walked into his office unassisted.
Maybe when we completely understand how to tailor drugs, etc. to individual biochemistries based on genetic profile, that will change. But not today.
Oh, yah? Well, years and years ago I got some kind of cootie from a hooker. When I went to the clinic to get a swab sample looked at, the tech said I had the highest bacteria count he’d ever seen and he couldn’t figure out how I’d been able to pee for the past two days. So there!
B-b-but…the science is settled!!
You – they – it…
How dare you!?! You – you – you ol’ meany!!

Hell, no – making a resolution like that’s the easiest thing you’ll do all year. I’d bet there are several million people – maybe even a whole lot more than that – who’ve done just that in the last week or so…
It’s actually doing it that’s the difficult part.
*Sigh* – I’m workin’ on it, though. Seems to be working so far, at least somewhat, too – this time.
We’ll see….
And have you kept all of that weight off?
