[Calories-In] - [Calories Out]= Weight Gain/Loss. Why do fat people think that their "condishuns" don't fall into the [Calories Out] category? It seriously baffles me. Let's give a hypothetical ham-planet the benefit-of-the-doubt, and say that he or she has every "condishun" imaginable. Thyroid issues, slow metabolism, both legs amputated, etc. All of these condishuns don't magically make you gain weight... They simply affect how hard it is to expend calories [Calories Out]; so if you want to lose weight, either (A) ingest less calories, or (B) expend more... In the rare event that an Obeast actually has a "condishun", then he or she (correction, "it"), needs to accept that expending calories will be slightly harder than it will be for the average person, and thus it needs to eat less &/or work-out more. As for the Beetus amputees, I remember reading that the fattest woman in history (who was 1,000+ lbs), lost hundreds of lbs by going on a strict diet and "clapping" all-day, every day, because she couldn't walk/run; so that excuse doesn't work either. Their illogical excuses are merely misdirects at them taking blame for their poor life choices. No ifs, ands, or buts.  [TL;DR]: Condishuns only affect the "Calories-Out" part of the equation, which is why in the rare event that someone has some, he, she, or it needs to adjust their caloric ingestion and/or expenditure accordingly. Sorry fatties, Logic & Science>BS excuses.
