Hello... I found it shocking that someone could gain up to 33 pounds in 2 weeks, as a previous post mentioned. I was under the impression that such a large amount was physically impossible. I would like to know just what somebody would have to eat to gain so much weight, so I can steer my own son off that path. I also find I work best through gathered statistics, so I suppose that would be another reason I would appreciate having some helpful information. Besides, if I knew what somebody could possibly eat to have such a horrendous gain, I might be able to help my son later in life by being able to steer him from such bad foods, considering his size already at 270. I suppose I feel ashamed. Well, thank you for any information you can give.

Reply from Lisa, Child's Age 9 - 11/13/02 - IP#: 195.93.34.xxx Basically, it is physically impossible to gain 33 pounds in 2 weeks. For whatever reason, the person who wrote that message was giving incorrect facts. The medical fact is that, if someone ate the amount of food necessary for such a gain, the body would go into shock and the heart would fail. There are many genuine people using these boards, but it's important to recognise that some people will use them for inappropriate reasons, so remember to evaluate each story using your own judgement. If something seems far-fetched, it probably is!
