Spike That Th<strike>ermo</strike>yroidstat In The End-Zone, Baby!! It’s Official: Being Fat Makes You Fatter. -Btw, FIRST!!!
rusty old 50s car chrome grille field


Ok, awhile ago we theorized here that as total bodyfat % increased, the body would start losing its thyroid-mojo and a given person would go into a downward spiral.

The idea was at least 1-fold. MINIMUM!

!Insulation Overload!
SO: We thought that as weight went up, that an insulating-effect would take place and send signals to the body’s metabolism thermostat, that it shouldn’t rev up any more. -That things were already hot enough. Maybe WAY too hot already.



 
Fat Men Don’t Wear Plaid
I got the idea of being a little chubby myself and noticing that the spare tire seemed cool; -that and various stories about fat guys who sweat alot, like Alfred Hitchcock, Sydney Greenstreet, and Charles Laughton in “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid”.

Well, in researching some other entries, I came across a very important study abstract link…

 
Wendy Miller’s BMI-BMR Study Scores The TD
In the journal “Obesity”, Wendy Miller and her team publish a study where they looked at 64 obese individuals, and it turned out that the 30% most obese had the Lowest Basal/Resting Metabolic Rate and the Lowest Use of Oxygen (VO2 Max) during exercise.

 
Counterintuitive-Calorie-Counts:
So in-terms of food-exercise-muscle-metabolism-fat-rinse-repeat loops, this turned out to mean the most obese needed LESS calories per day, not MORE as directed by the standard weight-based formula;

-Even Considering Exercise!

They also were significantly more likely to lose cardio fitness, lose muscle condition & mass, and then go UP in BMI.

Cycle-Vicious. Spiral-Downward.

 
Hope: The Point of ~No Return Is High:
The only rays of light here are that the ~Average Age of the people studied was around 47.

+And -oddly, their average BMI was also around 47 (which is high), with the lightest being at about 38 and the fattest being 56+.

Unfortunate to be the bearer of bad news, ~depending on how you look at it, –BUT if your BMI is under ~47, you might still be able to fix things a little more easily,


But…
-but otherwise, “Being fat makes you fatter”. -You heard it here first!

(note: The Journal “Obesity” is not at Nature anymore. It’s being published by Wiley here.)
