Crash course in the obvious
MSNBC.com has posted a Forbes article called "How we gain weight and keep it on."
Here’s the blurb:
Weight-gain is not a head cold or a boil that magically appears overnight. Like muscle, it’s something that increases gradually with time and with your complete awareness and collaboration.
The amusing thing is the deck to the story: "Think it’s just Twinkies, beer, and sloth? Guess again." Actually, I did think those were primary factors.
The piece goes on to explain that, um, junk food, excess alcohol, and lack of exercise are factors that encourage obesity. Makes you wonder who wrote the deck and what he or she was thinking.
Yes, the article mentions other factors as well—aging, stress, frequent restaurant meals. But the bottom line is what you already know: eating too much and moving too little will make you fat.
