When I heard some of my liberal friends talking about how former President Bush totally screwed up science and scientific research I thought my head was going to explode because it just sounded like more “Bush” bashing.  Liberals in general love to find some way to bash on the Bush’s but this time I’m in total agreement.

Now researchers have found a virus that causes you to get fat?  How many more excuses are “researchers” going to give “fat” people to blame their size on.  Now what’s going to happen?  Are the Drug Companies going to start making some “fat vaccine”.  So that every child will need to be vaccinated against the dreaded fat disease.  Haven’t we gone a bit too far?  Now fat is in the same league as Polio and Mumps?

Now I really think my head is going to explode.  65 % of America is now fat because someone sneezed on them and gave them “Fatness”.  You’ll have people talking around the water cooler, ” I feel sorry for Bob, he caught “Fatness” from someone in the office.” “Yea that “Fatness” is really going around” “I wish that suzy would just go home, I don’t wanna catch that “Fatness”.

Here’s a couple of tips to building your immune system against the horrible “Fatness” disease:

1) Build your immune system from eating dark green leafy vegetables

2) Eat more fruit

3) Stay away from meat laced with saturated fat (you may catch it from the piece of meat)

4) Exercise at least 30 minutes a day combining resistance training and some type of aerobic training

I know what you’re saying…”Rocco you’re a friggin’ genius! You found the cure for the “fat” disease!”  I know, it’s a miracle I can stand in the same room with myself.  My brain is so big I can barely keep my head from falling of my shoulders.

Listen to me my friends, Romans and countrymen and women.  Please do not buy into this crap.  All of this “research” is a Public Relations attempt to scare or cajole people into thinking they are fat because they caught something. Now that you have been bombarded with all this news media telling you so, the drug companies can now bring to market a “pill” to manage or cure the Obesity epidemic.

Now you will never need a Personal Trainer or have to exercise ever again because “Doctors” will be the only ones to be able to cure it.  Nice try.  I have seen the stupidity that embraces bariatric surgery.  Thousands of dollars to cure your fatness only to be left with a life of literal starvation.

Oh, shit I just had another epiphany! You want to lose weight fast? Get your ass out of the the chair and stop eating garbage and maybe you won’t catch the “fatness” disease.  “Whew, that Rocco he’s a smart one.”





Question: On November 13, 2006 I underwent gastric by-pass surgery. I have lost 124 pounds. I now have a lot of loose skin on my stomach, legs and arms. What exercises can I do to tone those areas? It is really gross to me. Thanks for any information you can give me.

Answer: I know this is going to sound like a totally cop out, but too bad. Gastric by-pass is a fitness expert’s worst nightmare because I’m happy that you lost the fat but I can’t help you. Everything that you have done has totally gone against what the body was made to do…use fat as fuel. Many of the systems of your body have become compromised because you have been nutritionally deprived and I can bet you didn’t do one stitch of exercise while you were losing al1 this weight. Your body is not meant to lose 124 quickly. That’s why you have loose skin hanging on you like melted candle wax. Skin is an organ that grows as you need it and goes away when you don’t but it is a process. It is very similar to taking a trash bag filled with water and dumping out the water. What happens? You’re still left with the large bag. Either you fill that bag again (to make it useful) or you throw it away. In this case I say throw it away. There is no way in the world you will develop enough muscle to fill the loose bag, especially since your stomach is the size of a walnut… I would make an appointment with your plastic surgeon. After you have consulted with him then consult with a qualified fitness professional that specializes in post-gastric surgery fitness. Good Luck.
