OH yea and fried goodies on the concierge level most definitely cause this phenomena AKA Porkypilot syndrome.

:confused: Praytell the proclivity to perpetuate the propensity for Porky pilots?

:cartman: :smash:
 
Saying its FSI, hotels, whoever is at fault is like blaming guns for crime. You gotta eat that stuff to get fat. Put the donut down, skip the cookies at Signature, etc.
 
Put down the pork

"That bacon's not gonna eat itself!"


:D




:cartman:

Please pass the pork and portend the PORKY PILOT POSSE!

The only thing worse than porky pilot syndrome is goatee-sportin' aviator. Combine the two and we got a sight.

Join the triple P today.

Dine on your daily donut.

ATTENTION cardiologists! Business will be improving soon, as newly riche pilots eat their big raises. After the MI you will get your medical back after the near death experience but.....

TRANSFAT AIRWAYS will still hire you!

:blush:
 
The problem isn't just unhealthly foods, portions have gotten way out out of control. You don't need to completely fill the entire plate! Eat small potions, more often. Healthy snacks are very important so you're not starving and overeat come dinnertime. Ask a nutrionist. Another problem is that when the company provides the food, you seem to think it's part of your pay, so if you don't eat as much as possible, you feel like you're getting ripped off. My problem isn't the food, it's the beer!
 
Portions are ridiculous. I subscribe to the self-control issue too. However, having had a period in my childhood when we were poor, and I mean POOR, I have an aversion to wasting food. I wish they'd all use a sensible size meal. But then again, the 400 lb club would claim starvation...
 
I mentioned this on another board, but I'll mention it here, too: The Bahama Breeze restaurants have a lot of their dishes available in two portion sizes. The big one is huge like everywhere else, but the smaller size is close to a normal dinner portion. It's 2/3 the cost, and a perfect size. Worth checking out if there's one near you.

That is a good point. I wish that prime steakhouses could give you a steak that is not 16oz. I would not eat 16oz steak at home, so WTF should I try and act like a big fat pig out on the road. At the same time, I also hate to waste food, but unfortunatly 90% of the time that is what I end up doing.

Most people look at it that you eat something at a restaurant what you normally not eat at home.
 
you guys need to get out more and see that this whole country is rediculously obese.

We got a call for a 405lb lady to go in our Air Am the other day!


.....as for me I've been fat...lost the weight...never goin back.

Yah, flew with this one dude that couldnt wear the shoulder harness he was so fat. Dunno how he did it when he got line checked....is there an extender for the shoulder harness part too? Maybe he's got one of those.

Anyway, we Americans are outrageoulsy fat. Just go to any buffet in Vegas or anywhere for that matter and just watch these pie wagons load up like it's not gonna be there 30 minutes from now. I saw theeeee fattest chk I have ever seen at The Golden Corral. That was NOT cool....almost lost my appetite. The dessert tray there is bigger than the regular hot food section is and is swarming with folks who shouldnt even think of being there.
 
A couple of years ago there was a story in an ALPA magazine about a book called BODY FOR LIFE by Bill Philips. Fantastic book, since then I have lost 30 lbs. If anyone is serious about not only weightloss but living a healthy lifestyle this book is for you.
 
It so bad that it is discussed at the interviews with the NetJets Candidates.

Funny how NetJets discusses weight in the interview and then sends crew food full of Cookies, Crackers, Muffins and a small fruit cup. I'm glad I don't work there.:rolleyes:
 
Hey Rocker...What's you do in Vegas...stays in Vegas!!!!!

I know there must be more to that story!!!!!!

Yah, your right DO-82. If you eat 10 LBS of food for lunch in Vegas, that REALLY should stay down there....I agree. But, eating that same amount of food if not more at Dennys somewhere in Maine is OK to talk about! Thats because it does happen!

Wait, the golden corral thing was somewhere in KS. She REALLY could put down some food and I finally had decided that was the last time that I was going to go out with her....your right, I forgot about that part.
 
I thought the only reason why you took her to the Golden Coral was because had 2 for 1 coupons!!!!!!

I can send you donw a nice skinny one if you want. Complete with 3 goats and 2 chicken as a gift from her father.
