There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.


Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!


Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐Ÿ‰.

To be that tiny/lithe. Asian cuisine seems a lot naturally healthier and nutrient-dense but i wonder if they still have to practice a ยฐ of restraint

Only so much of those 35,000 calories will be converted to fat. The bulk of it will pass though before that happens. Most people wouldn't even be able to consume that many calories without the body reacting negatively.

All mammals become overweight by consistently eating more calories then they burn. The occasional pigout is pretty much lost in the average if it's a rare event and the person maintains a healthy diet otherwise. Once a month, no worries. Once every other day, you'll need new pants.
