Biology May Keep Couch Potatoes Supine

THURSDAY, Jan. 27 (HealthDayNews) -- Got a mind to recline? So do millions of obese Americans, according to a study that suggests some people may be biologically designed to remain seated.

In unusual research involving uniquely designed underwear, researchers found that obese people stand or move about much less during waking hours than lean people do, and therefore burn an average 350 fewer calories per day.

Even more intriguing, the study found this tendency to stay seated remained unchanged in the obese people even after they dieted down to a healthy weight.

"It's very clear from our study that this phenomenon is not due to a volitional lack of willpower -- in fact, it's quite the opposite. There seems to be, in some people, a biological drive to be seated," said lead researcher Dr. Jim Levine, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minn.

Imagine that. Not exercising and sitting on your but all day makes you fat. It's amazing what people find to study these days...


H-D :pimp:

Sit on your ass all day and become a fat piece of lard? Brilliant!

to long it did,nt read it i just know it had something to do with spuds

a biological urge to be seated? do they mean they are naturally lazy? bulldust......they probably weren't taught the value of work growing up. almost as stupid as mcdonalds being sued for "making" the children get obese because they market at them. hey about the parents have some control and not saying yes everytime they want maccas to get a happy meal or make them exercise every now and then?

:wtf: ...Um I don't really know what to say....... ??

Yes I do.....

GET THE F#@K UP AND MOVE!!!!!!!!!!

Haha!

LOL. :roll:


H-D :pimp:

something tells me the fatties need more motivation than that

I read an article in my daily paper about the same subject and they were saying some people naturally can't sit still and thats why they are lean whilst others are not and so they a little larger.

To me, people just follow the lifestyle of their parents. If they don't set an example of physical activity and only sit and watch TV, so will their kids. Parents get fat, so the kids get fat. Then the kids get picked on in school, have low self-esteems, and become suicidal. Well, in some instances that may be a bit of a stretch... but kids aren't going to do things if their parents don't set an example of it.
