Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
he said, 'Don't count calories.'

Re: Obesity can be caught like a cold
Oh whatever next
I am fat because A) I ate(past tense) too much of the wrong food and B) I didn't get enough exercise.

Re: Obesity can be caught like a cold
I saw that and read that too.Came about from chickens.......
On bbc 2 there was a very interesting 60min documentary...Horizon -Why are thin people thin?Lucky people......
Talking about fat cells and that they never go away...It seems to explain from my early child hood of a chubby 7 year old that's where the curse all started for me.Manage to loose but slowly gain again.
It's worth a watch to all.Parouz X

Re: Obesity can be caught like a cold
This is the link to the Horizon program if anyone is interested.
In this they interview the doctor about the theory of catching obesity.

Re: Obesity can be caught like a cold
Oh no quick run from the fat people we can catch what THEY have!! (more prejudice)
I watched that programme & it answered NOTHING, it is just theories and if you look at the ACTUAL findings that were hidden way down deep in the programe they stated that 1 3rd of obese people of the 1000 they tested -I am not very good at maths or percentages( hey it must be because I am fat) - considering the population of the UK is approx 64,000,000 -MAY have this so called virus, that still means that statistically there are more people that are fat, because like me, in the past they ate too much & didn't get enough exercise. I have no-one to blame except myself, not a virus, it's not nurture or nature, it is purely ME putting more energy into my mouth than I get rid of. Oh and of course our DNA is SO Close to chickens isn't it!

Re: Obesity can be caught like a cold
My belief is that when you are around other people, you may pick up on their internal responses to food and begin to respond the same way they do. Kind of a peer, or "herd" mentality.
So instead of fat being contagious, fat attitudes and responses to food and eating are passed on.
IMO.
