I just finished a plate of freshly baked Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and a ice cold glass of NON fat milk.

The only difference between Fookup and me is about 25 years and 20 calories. That's right... His accusation that I overeat was right... by 20 calories a day. Two bites worth of food more than you need a day will make you gain 50 pounds in 25 years.

In order to gain a pound, you need to consume 3500 calories above what you use.

20 calories a day X 365 days = 7300

There's your 2 pound weight gain a year. That doesn't take into account any genetics, metabolism differences, aging, contributing illnesses etc.

And if he didn't hear the news, Asians are adopting western type diets and getting fatter too. It's not the chop sticks.

The best miracle weight loss product is tobacco. The pounds melt away if you use a can of dip a day.

Oh, and I don't know if this was already said above but meth works wonders for your spare tire.

After reading this thread back through I have now determined it is my fork spoon and knife that makes me fat...the asians use chop sticks, they are skinny so thats what I am using from now on. Case closed, see you on the flip side.

The chopstick theory only applies to haoles... slows 'em down so the can't eat as much.

Ornamentals skilled in the use of said "sticks" can stuff their traps as fast as anyone using a spoon/fork.
