Medical Question: What up wit fat?
Why does fat go to the places it goes?This picture is a (fake?) cross-section of a [apprx] 125 lb woman & a 150 lb woman.
What is it about lovehandles, saddlebags, and pitflaps that makes them ideal areas for storing fat? Why didn't we evolve so that we have massive fat-deposit rat-tails that hang from the back of our skulls? They would grow like a camels (lovely lady) hump and store fat for when we need to fast, swing as a beaver-tail like weapon, or perhaps show Mystikal what we're workin' wif. Chris is trying, in vain, to cut-out beer. I'm trying to jog and do sit-ups. Everyone else ready for bikini season? DIET STARTS MONDAY! GIGGLEZ LOLZ BRB IMHO TTYL!

Jason, I will run with you in Oita.
Chris, let's drink lots of stuff in addition to beer in Oita. Did I tell you I booked my ticket? Booya, Kurume from the 1st to 3rd? Then Oita.
Kyle, please waste some of your time explaining this to me.
I'm no expert, but it looks like there is a bigger weight difference than 25 lbs.
cutting out beer from ones diet is a great way to shead extra pounds. they say "nothing tastes as good as thin feels", but who wants a life without beer?
I'm riding my bike more, seems to keep me in balance. I just wish I could think about quiting smoking without eating the house around me.
oh, you girls...
rew - maybe swap beer for whiskey?
chris - don't let ryans paranoia catch on.
jason - please, do NOT loose weight, heroine chic is so 90ies (?)
jared - nein, nein, no advice seems to be needed here.
oh and - just one more comment to make the need for diets redundant:
jason and ryan - rejoyce - all my girlfriends over here are in love with you.
Actually, Jason is the favorite...the wedding was a bit of a bummer, but also nourished an image of you as the lost romantic + overture as the mutual project..even more romantic.
Ryan - you are most of all my sisters dream guy now. she saw your ikemen pictures from izu, said you look more "manly" than 5 years ago and has called off the wedding to flo. thanks rew, i was THIS close to being an aunty.
Oh, whoops, I meant 250 lbs.
Maybe you are a weight expert Jared.
Then again with advice like swapping whiskey for beer, I think Carola is the real expert here.
And, this isn't all about weight-loss...
I really wanna know how/why fat deposits on certain parts of the body.
Please to drop the medical science!
...Guys, I'm anorexic.
i'm just fine, my metabolism is anorexic. the only thing fat about me is my beatz, nigga
although I'm not as much of a dreamboat as Jason or Ryan, chalk that up to my resemblance to my 13 year old self...
ryan, do you respond to emails anymore? good luck with the sit-ups. also: deep-knee bends.
ryan, a little hint: smoking keeps your weight down. jared, ignore that advice. chris, good luck with that
"There are gender differences in fat distribution. Women tend to deposit fat on the thighs and buttocks while men deposit fat around the middle. In both cases, the tendency is due to an abundance of lipoprotein lipase – an enzyme that is necessary for fat storage – in those regions. Women have higher concentrations of lipoprotein lipase in the thighs and buttocks while men have higher concentrations in the abdomen. Because lipoprotein lipase is produced by fat cells, it preserves one’s fat distribution in times of weight gain generally rendering women into “pears” and men into “apples.” "
Speaking o' fat - josh I would like to hit you up for a beat, if you have any laying around the house. Hip-hop, 95-105bpm, thick bass, handclaps. you gots the love i needs?
Now if only we can alter our DNA to create fat-tails behind our heads...
Oh, and thanks Ned.
Josh, I'll get you those reports right away..
But, you know, fat around the stomach apparently poses a higher risk for heart diseases (did that come out right, might be wrong English...). So - that's why men get more heart diseases than women. Not sure whether that correlation is correct, it says so here, though:

sorry..it's in German - but it has numbers, so if you look at it - it looks scientific, even without understanding.
I m at a loss though for why fat in the abdominal regions would be more dangerous...not a doctor (yet...well, ok..i would only heal society..not the individual...)
Well, I don't know what Dickbauch means, but I'll stop reading right there, thank you very much.
Humans are such pussies...
just one cigarette a day triples your risk for heart disease?!
300g of red meat a day triples risk of colon cancer?!
Fuck man, I'm just gonna drink like a fish and smoke like an asian until I'm 40 and then shoot myself in the Dickbauch.
see - life can be so easy.
