Yes, it wasn’t “stapled” per se, they put a band around his stomach to make it smaller and it didn’t do anything. To me it seems like it had the opposite effect, it made him even fatter. How does that work? They give him a smaller stomach and he gets even fatter.

To me the whole secret is exercise, it really is. You can eat as much as you want as long as you exercise. I use to be overweight around 20 years ago and unemployed until a friend of mine needed help with his landscaping business and WOW, it was really bust-your-butt work. In one summer - 3 months - I lost around 60 pounds and I was eating MORE during that whole time. Since then I’ve never gone back. If a person goes jogging 3 or 4 times a week 3 miles each time, that person will never be fat and they will feel a million times better. Everything is better, the circulation is better, the brain functions better, you have no stress in life, exercise is so so so freakin’ important it’s not funny, it’s a necessity. We were built for it in the hunter/gatherer days. When a person doesn’t exercise, the body assumes the person is sick so it shuts down.
>>Really? What the hell happened? He certainly wasn’t like this in High School. <<
I am sure many of us got more rotund, starting in our 30s.
I was skinny as a rail and could ravage buffets when I was in HS and college.
Suffice it to say I am not compared to rails lo these many decades later.
It's called Insulin Resistance and it's not a diabetic thing.
Insulin makes you fat. 1 to 2 pounds per year as we get older and voila...obesity.
The book "The Obesity Code" is an excellent read and explains it in detail. Using IF (intermittent fasting) is the answer. It allows the body to "reset" and break the cycle.
My diet is not one that would be considered anywhere near a junk food or unhealthy diet. But eating normally every day keeps the pressure on as far as the insulin production in the body and the glycogen production. Yet, I've been unable to maintain or lose weight. Over the last few years I've gained 14 pounds. I plan on reversing that by using IF. It's been going well so far.
But...I did see what Christie was chowing down on at that ball game and I think he may have a serious refined/processed carbohydrate addiction. Thus, the girth.
