Do you get fat eating food or do you get fat after you eat and digest it

[WolfLoverPro]

You know like if you eat loads of food 

 

do you get fat live

 

or does it have to settle in 

[thedude4bides]

I've never seen a fat bulimic person so...

[IAnthonyFX]

the second thing is right. Assuming you do not use all the energy provided by the food so it gets stored as fat.

Shall you try for us? In the name of science?

I get fat when I consume one bowl of fried chickens with BBQ, one bowl of fries, one bowl of soup, and half bowl of ice cream, one banana, and one mountain dew.

Food gets ingested mainly in your Small Intestine, so it takes a while. 

 

It it takes around a day to fully digest food.

 

if you are worried about putting on weight, then just follow the food pyramid and don’t worry about calories. It’s all about what you eat.

As long you are exercising than you don't even need that at all. The reason we get fat is we don't do exercise daily to burn the calories.

When you find a good Netflix series that have more than 10 seasons, each season contain more than 7 episodes, and each episodes are 1 hour long.

Well, for women it's 1200-1400 if sedentary, 1500-1800 for men if sedentary.  I still advise OP to see a nutritionist because they'd have a much better idea for OP than any of us here of what would work for them.  Because while you "can" go off those numbers set in stone by people like Harvard, Mayoclinic, and other it's still quite a few other factors in the science behind it.  What's worse, though is fad diets and most supplements.

Eat less or normal and burn more. There's no need to go to these people when it comes to losing weight.

Unfortunately not. It’s important to get essential vitamins and minerals you can’t get from other foods. Food isn’t all about getting energy for the day. If you eat the wrong stuff you will get fat.

It would probably be best if they see a nutritionist if they're worried.  While the food nice is nice we don't know anything about their metabolism, their genetics, their health, daily activity, and so on.  It's not as simple as you're making it.

The food pyramid goes pretty well for the general population. As long as they don’t have any illness, in which case see a doctor, it should be fine.

You still have to do some exercises throughout the day whether you eat the good stuff nor the bad stuff.

Nope food pyramid is old and outdated. Many doctors don't recommend it now. It's called My Plate now

Never said you didn’t.

You should do 20 minutes of cardio 5 times a week and 45 minutes of strength excercise once a week.

Well many doctors can be wrong and some can be right. The food pyramid is still great as a guideline. As long as you eat nice healthy food and keep takeaways and candy to occasional food it’s fine.

All the energy gathered from food is ultimately extracted by the small intestine . Your stomach does not actually absorb any energy from the food , it just breaks it down into a soup for the small intestine to process.

This means that if you were to upchuck just after eating , you wouldn't actually take in any calories . However this is highly unhealthy ,as people who do so regularly are called bulimics ( a mental health problem )  , who do often die from this illness.

Yes/no that's if you eat more than what your body can burn on your own doing what it does like breathing, blood flow, digesting, and so on.

That ain't going to burn a lot compare to jogging nor push up. Even if you eat less, you still have to do some exercises throughout the day to stretch your muscles from sitting on the computer for more than 4 hours each day.

exercise is definitely a great way to lose weight ( aerobics in particular ), and has plenty of additional benefits as well . But strictly speaking , it isn't required to lose weight , because weight gain is dictated based on calories in vs calories burned ( though both these variables depend on many factors) .You can just as well lose weight with exercise , but you just won't be developing muscle mass is all

The problem with the food pyramid is it's not as simple as eating just those foods in those quantities.  It comes down to gender, weight, height, age, metabolism, genetics, medication, and plenty more.  The food pyramid will give you generalizations on things, but doesn't factor in important things for each individual.  8 glasses a day!  Well, that depends...are you taking creatine and doing a ton of cardio too?  Are you on a pill like Depakote?  Do you workout, and burn more than what you intake?  See, it's not that simple for the general population.  Literally, nobody is the same, so such a broad generalization as that isn't really as helpful as people think.

You’re body takes care of synthesis from the food. It’s best to eat a large range of vegetables, for example. That’s why individuals taking other supplements are encouraged to use Vitamin supplements.

 

It’s still a great model for eating healthy. You often aren’t going to need any special diet unless you are an athlete or trying to lose weight (for instance a low carbohydrate diet). Your body is designed to generate much of what it needs from other foods.

If the government had a clue about health, it would have a lot more funding. 

 

What I mean to say before is there is a lot of discrepancy in current practice, it’s only recently we are generating the correct data for standardised clinical practice. Many doctors disagree with each other on many things, it’s best to regard studies with questions like these.

Actually, your body burns as much as 1200-1800ish k calories depending on metabolism, health, genetics, weight, height, gender, age, and tons more.  If you're eating over your bodies needed intake then ya you will put on weight if you just sit on your ass.  It's when you burn under that 1200 mark that you start hurting your metabolism, and possibly give yourself other health issues.

I still recommend to do exercises daily because it is good for your body to stretch your muscles.

Well, part of the problem with a lot of supplements is that they're bs forprofit.  Whey, ya that is fine.  Creatine that's fine.  "Super workout Alex Jones Testosterone RAWR TRUE ALPHA MALE PLACEBO!" = bs.  Personally, I wouldn't suggest taking anything other than whey/creatine/vitamins.  The other stuff is pretty much bs.  The reason it is better to eat those things than most crap people consume like Ramen, fried everything, candy, and so on is because those foods have nutrients that your body needs.  You can lose weight while eating whatever you want, but the problem is that not eating balanced meals is not giving you the proper nutrients it needs to function properly.  Doing nothing but an all fried food diet is going to kill your heart in the long run.

Maybe the food pyramid has changed a little but I thought it meant eating lots of nice vegetables, nice amount of meat, a smaller amount of carbohydrates and only candies as an occasional food. 

 

I don’t recommend altering your body’s hormones or eating fried food or fast/instant food often or at all.

 

There are many supplements that can be beneficial but keep in mind they are often for very nieche individuals and definitely read the label. Most preworkouts, for instance, are just a big caffeine hit. They are definitely not for long term use, and can cause harm.

I can eat loads of food, high in fat or not, and I don't gain weight easily. I love eating Popusas, btw anyone tried them before?
