[RC] wt from muscle vs wt from fat - Mary Ann Spencer
Many of us are not 'fat' but have good bone and
muscle in additon to the 'usual' fat that comes with our homo sapiens
species. I have had to try to take care of people weighing over 300#s and
it is HORRIBLE. People need to care for their health first and appearance
after that. The two are intertwined.
Calories in vs calories out is important. The
real shame is those who weigh over 250 and can't walk very far without
assistance and hence cant do for themselves. But someone always brings
them food-usually the wrong type. There are much better dieting
systems now than when I first started dieting to pass military weight
requirements. A big problem is that we diet for now but don't keep
it up. I believe the military will be paying a heavy price for all the
women who have been thin and develop brittle bone disease from not eating enough
calcium over the years. Taking calcium in sold rock forms will not be
absorbed well by our bodies.
But in regard to being heavier and
riding>>>>>>> if we condition our horse, our horse
conditions for the load being carried. IMHO
