Bench press is one of the hardest workouts to do when you are trying to work out at home with little equipment and little space. I have been able to work out the chest a little bit by using a dumbell, the kind that you can add weights from walmart, and holding the ends that stick out to the sides. I do 30 reps because the weight isn’t that heavy. I wouldn’t say it works that well, but its better than nothing.

I also wrap a double resistance band around the door of my closet and lean forward and do a bench press that way. This can be done even when traveling.

I believe the reason that some people are naturally fat and some people are naturally thin is that fat people are born hungrier than naturally thin people. Everyones brain chemistry is different, and I think that naturally fat people feel hunger pains more intensely than other people and they get more feeling of anxiety when they don’t eat than others. So it will be harder for a naturally fat person to lose weight. They need more will power than the average person to overcome the urge to eat. I have seen in everyday life that fat people tend to be pre-occupied with food. They think about food more and talk about it more. They may get panicked when they haven’t eaten, whereas another person might just calmly suggest that you go eat when you have a chance. This might not just be a bad habit or lack of will power but an actual physiological difference in brain chemistry and hormones that the person was born with.

can thyroid problems or hormone problems make people fat? can taking certain medicines make people fat? What about people who say they hardly eat anything but still gain weight?

The truth is that to gain a certain amount of weight and to maintain a certain amount of weight, you have to eat a certain number of calories. It is simple math. It takes a certain number of calories to maintain your weight, and if you eat more calories than that you will gain. Any medical issue that causes you to gain weight works by making you feel more hungry. You still have the choice to resist overeating, but it might be more difficult. If you think you are eating the same amount and gaining weight, you are probably eating more and you just doing realize it.

you have to eat a certain amount of calories to gain weight. if you are gaining weight, then you are eating more calories that you need for your bodyweight, it does not matter whether you see yourself as eating a lot or a little. There are many ways that people can add extra calories to their diet and not realize it. One of the main ones is drinks. any drink that is sweet, like soda or fruit juice is full of sugar and calories. Even things that seem like they would be healthy, like fruit juice made from real fruits and things like this are full of calories and carbs. Foods that are high in fat are more dense with calories than foods that are mostly carbs and protien. One gram of fat has twice as many calories as a gram of protien or carbs. Also you might be supprised that people can be perfectly healthy eating small servings of food. Sometimes restruants will bring you 4 times as much food as you really need in a meal.

is anorexia a problem in america?

NO! for 99.999% of Americans(and probably western europe too) it is not a problem and it will never come close to being a problem. Part of the definition of being anorexic is that the person maintains a bodyweight that is at least 15% below the normal bodyweight for someone of their age and height. I see very few people around who could meet that definition.

I often hear overweight people call women who are a normal healthy weight or slightly underweight “anorexic.” This is not true, the purpose of this is so that those people can convince themselves that it is ok to be the way they are rather than doing something about it. I would guess that most female models don’t even meet the medical definition of being anorexic.

I remember meeting meeting a girl who was overweight and told me that she had stopped trying to lose weight because she used to be anorexic. I questioned her more, and I found out that she had always been overweight, she had never even reached a normal weight, much less been underweight. I guess that when she said that she had been “anorexic” she meant that she used to worry a lot about her weight and tried unsuccessfully to lose weight.

Are fat people greedy?

Is being fat a personality flaw or is it a genetic trait that people have no control over? I don’t think that anyone really knows. I have seen in real life and heard stories that fat people are likely to steal food off of other peoples plate at restaurants.
