Next thing you know, they'll find out that exercise helps...
...who would've thunk it???
But they eat everything! (Just kidding)
Low carb ping
Since I started working out 5 to 6 days a week at the gym and can pretty much eat whatever I want but I also see the same overweight people working out 5 or 6 days a week for the last three years and they haven't lost any weight.
"high glycemic additions to way too many processed foods"
The only way to get around this is to stop eating as much processed food as you can-our family didn't have a problem with overweight, but not eating that stuff just seemed like a healthier way to eat. I've been cooking everything fresh now for several years on a modified Atkins plan and neither of us has gained a pound and my husband, who has always gotten indigestion from certain foods rarely has it now. I can't believe any scientist didn't know there were "bad" and "good" carbs-duh is right...
A friend of mine cured her acid-reflux while on South Beach Diet. Those carbs increase acid apparently.
They probably haven't changed their diet any, and would likely be putting on weight if they didn't work out.
