Fatty roommate thinks he's going into starvation mode. I got a new random roommate a few months ago. I helped him move his shit into the apartment because I'm a nice guy, and my first thought after helping him move some of his food supplies was "Oh this is gonna be good." So in one of the boxes he had 3-4 containers of whey protein (the shitty walmart kind), some kind of fat burners, vitamins B12, B6, and B3 (niacin) and all sorts of other pills. He was wearing an old American Fighter tee that was way too stretched out which screamed douchebag, but I guess he turned out to be an overall okay guy. Anyway we get talking after moving in and he tells me he just got this gym membership at this new place and he works out 5 days a week, and 2x a week with his "hot personal trainer." He told me that his trainer says he needs to eat more due to his job and workout schedule so he doesn't go into starvation mode (yes, I'm serious. A trainer told him that.) I'm trying to contain my laughter the entire time. It's been 3 months since he moved in, and he hasn't touched the protein at all. I've never seen him eat a fruit or vegetable (unless it's on a sandwich). He orders pizza at least 3x a week, and he tells me he still works out all the time but is convinced that if he doesn't eat enough he is going to go into starvation mode. He has made zero progress that I can tell, possibly even gained weight. My guess is he's 5'10, 250lbs or so. I'm just sick of this "starvation mode" bullshit that is going around. It's just an excuse for fatties to shove food down their gullets and then when they don't lose weight they scream "buh muh thyroid!"  Fucking christ, if he wants to lose weight I should force him to go on my 9 mile runs that I do 3x a week. But I know he wouldn't even make it half a mile. Fortunately for me, I'm moving out in a couple weeks and my new apartment this fall will consist of nothing but shitlords. Can't wait!
