Study after study has shown people usually gain the weight back they lose, and our bodies are programmed to do that as an evolutionary adaptation to starvation. So if telling people they're fat makes you feel better, go ahead man. But aside from gastric bypass surgery, there just isn't that much you can do.

I've been on the Keto diet for three years. Lost 40 pounds and kept it off.  I don't walk around calling people fat, not what I do.  I'm saying if your weight problem, fat or skinny is causing you health problems then those around you should be honest with you.  Not sit around, worrying if your feelings are hurt from them telling you the truth.  Rather that be too fat or too skinny.

I think Gallo is an important piece but my point has been the utter lack of D tonight is unacceptable.  We gave up 145 points ... that just can't happen again.  

We pushed the pace very hard this game and the Nets didn't play terribly slow either... 100 FGA on each side.  Our defense wasn't great but we showed some flashes of solid team D.  The shot clock expiration was one of them -- Cam had some really nice plays as did Hunter and JC looked better.  That Nets team is probably the only one in the league that has more offensive fire power than us.

Wow! I need to lose some weight. Any suggestions on how to seriously do this?

I felt when Gallo was there, we had as much firepower but once he was gone. Yeah...

Sure. I'll send you the website I used.  The beginning of the diet is rough, but once you get used to it, it's great.

Capela looks unathletic compared to where he was in the preseason. I am not sure he there physical. He doesn't appear to be limping so my guess is he just out of shape and our pace to really fast. 

He's not comfortable at all playing zone.  He's much better in man to man.

Maybe so but you have to admit...that’s very impressive of this team without Gallo

Yeah he said it’s not basketball.....but when Harden does it ...it’s so talented and special.

Trae is actually drawing more contact than Harden on his fouls. Harden flops his head back. Trae is just using his hip and stopping suddenly once he’s trailed. He has really figured out how to make the refs blow the whistle and using the nba rule book against them.

I agree on metabolism and genetics. My younger brother struggles to put on weight and I can add on pounds easily. Temporary dieting is never an answer, there has to be changes that last a lifetime. Unless an individual has health complications that cause unintentional weight gain, there are ways to maintain a healthy standard of living.

We've been in an absolute bare-knuckles brawl over that on realgm all day.  The haters are out in full force.  It's ridiculous.

[terrell]

Hawks injury report: Trae Young (right calf soreness) is probable. De’Andre Hunter (right knee soreness) is questionable. Kris Dunn (right ankle surgery) is out. Danilo Gallinari (right ankle sprain) is out.

Onyeka Okongwu (inflammation, sesamoid bone, left foot) is out. Rajon Rondo (left knee soreness) is out. Tony Snell (inflammation, cuboid bone, right foot) is out.

As as weight is concerned they are both overrated. Genetics and metabolism decide what your window is, and you can move up and down within that window. But yes, diet impacts weight loss more than exercise. Exercise sometimes back fires because you become more hungry.

Let's see exactly he said. Steve is pretty diplomatic, I highly doubt he went scorched earth.

Rondo is out with soreness, Hunter might be out with soreness. I know its a long season, but how can we build continuity keeping guys out who aren't really injured?
