Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

No shame in using drugs to lead a better life, medicine is the future.

Well it's not a better life, a better life is eating better and doing exercise, not pumping chemicals in to your brain that trick you in to dwarfing your appetite.

For some people though that struggle is much harder because of other factors though, it's not as simple as "just be more disciplined". So using drugs as a helping hand is completely fine if it helps you reach your desired fitness goals and be happier.

Some people, a very small amount of people with genuine medical issues outside of being lazy and coping by stuffing their faces. If you can do it without drugging yourself then you should, rather than taking a shortcut

I agree with that. Drugs should not be the first option but I just think some people struggle more with impulse control, mabye as a result of past trauma, grief or a chemical imbalance like Gregory said. I hope

Air Fryers are a game changer for healthy eating. Easy to cook smaller portions of veg quickly, you can make home made healthier fries (or sweet potato fries). Great for cooking chicken or fish too and really easy to clean.

@Gregory 


Dude it mostly is willpower and discipline, stop looking to give fat/obese ppl the easy way out.

Your brain telling you to eat eat eat, is not some disorder or chemical imbalance due to your mental or some ****.

It's the horse**** they put in everything ppl eat now adays, get full on a ribeye, baked potato and salad for dinner.

I promise you nothing after that is telling you eat eat eat, mf you will wanna hiberate for the night.

I'm pretty interested in psychology as a hobby (I'm no professional) and I think you are wrong, no offence. 

It is a recognised disorder and the stigma that is created by comments like yours are what make people feel anxious to seek help. This link explains it a bit better with a list of causes near the bottom, if you are interested.

Yes binge eating is a disorder, no ****.

I'm talking about the regular ass dude/girl just stuffing his face with junk because he's depressed, or whatever else is going on in life.

Most fat ppl don't have binge eating disorders, it's 2% of the ADULT population 😂😂 

nice cope tho, if you need some medicine to lose weight and it's not because some medical issue.
You lack discipline and willpower, or are just ignorant in the field of nutrition and/or fitness and that is what is stopping you from your fitness goals; for example JM Barrie.

Don't coward around it and make excuses, you take away from people who actually have the discipline and willpower to stay in shape and not be fat/obese.

Medicine is for medical issues, so if you are taking medicine to lose weight and it's not a medical issue.


That is how medicine works. Not rocket science you dweeb

@CrimsonChinGuru 
You don't know who has a medical condition and you certainly don't know JM Barrie well enough to judge like that. Plenty of people have undiagnosed conditions and things like past trauma, grief or chemical imbalance can affect your brain more than "just be disciplined"

I'm not going to reply again as you seem unable to comprehend the point.

Gotta up your reading comprehension bud.

I said JM Barrie is simply ignorant to the topic of fitness and nutrition never said she didnt have some mental defect or issues that need medicine. Idk if she does or doesnt, you tried to make it seem like binge eating is the reason so many ppl are obese/fat. When it's actually about 2% of the ADULT population and anywhere from 25-50% of obese ppl, you aren't as well read as you might think.

What i was saying is she thinks binge eating because she's been on a diet for a few weeks is a good gameplan. 
When you can easily binge eat away all the progress you made in months just in 1 DAY.

Idk about you, I stay less than 10% bodyfat YEAR ROUND. Run 5k's, 10k's and lift.
I'm pretty ******* experienced in the field of fitness n nutrition, that is why I'm 110% confident I have a way better physique than you and have better endurance than you.

Keep white-knightin over JM Barrie You absolute nerd.

The only way you will ever lose weight is counting calories and staying in a caloric deficit.

It literally does not matter what you eat if you can stay in a calorie deficit, but ppl like this will peddle ******** and propaganda to make ppl feel they need medicine or **** to get in shape.

Count calories, try to eat healthier, stay in a caloric deficit and workout a lil. Stop looking for trendy diets or medicine to shortcut it, there is 0 shortcuts for hardwork.

Don't listen to obese/fat ppl giving advice on how not to be obese/fat.

Again you completely miss the point 🤦‍♂️and instead try to flex with some made up stats that I don't care about.

The original point was that some people have more trouble controlling binging impulses than others.

You said in your first comment, "Your brain telling you to eat eat eat, is not some disorder or chemical imbalance due to your mental or some ****".

How would you know? Have you psychologically analysed JM? 

Just don't waste anymore forum space, your arguments are dull. Thanks.

@MMAChris 


So basically you are just trying to argue to argue and your reading comprehension sucks.

Gregory was proposing an idea where medicine for a diet might be helpful. And that your brain telling you to "eat eat eat" means you MUST have some disorder or imbalance, Baron replied pretty much saying "on average the regular obese person doesn't need medicine to lose weight." Which is facts.

1. Gregory isn't a Dr, nobody here is and nobody here knows her medical history except for her Dr... and nobody can diagnose her over a internet forum.
Therefore nobody knows if she ACTUALLY needs medicine to lose weight because we simply dont know.You are just making some outlandish assumptions that she could POSSIBLY have a binge eating disorder with no evidence of that or expertise in that given field😂 when that's not even the point being argued by Me.

3. Doesn't matter if you can't control your impulses, a lot of people without disorders can't control simple impulses. So another point that fell flat.

4. I was speaking in turns of Gregory's point as if failure in your diet is a reason to turn to medicine because you are sad or that might be evidence that you have a mental or physical disorder that is foolish and being weak minded and having 0 willpower. EVERYBODY FAILS, if you truly believe you have an issue. GO SEE A DR. And don't take advice from Tapology.

You are arguing some made up narrative in your head, when my point was pretty damn simple. THE AVERAGE OBESE PERSON DOESNT NEED DRUGS TO LOSE WEIGHT
