Fat: What No One Is Telling You

[Longhorn]

I caught the first half of this show on PBS last night and recorded it to watch the rest later. What I saw was very interesting and a little depressing but encouraging at the same time, if that makes sense.

Check it out and see what you think! There's a link where you can see when it is showing in your area.

4. Watched it online last night

Very interesting. It did back up what I've always felt which is that it's harder to lose weight than just calories in > calories out.

I identified with the standup comic who says she has to "exercise 3 hours a day just to maintain this level of chubbiness." I found it hilariously sad because I fear I might be in the same boat.

When they talked about how you just accmulate fat cells, I found myself wondering something. If you do liposuction, does that cut down on easy with which you will regain, since you are in effect removing fat cells from the body. (Not that I'm considering lipo any time soon.)
