Is it true that too much sitting (at PC or writing) makes your belly big?

ya it is. it will be big unless u do physical exercise at least you should walk daily

I dont know but that’s my new excuse now. Thanks! lol.

So, lemme get this straight:

Sitting at a computer desk will make you fat…..and given the average age of the asker & respondents, I’m really, truly disappointed.

ONLY eating more calories than you burn will make you fat. Period.

Just like ONLY proper diet and exercise will help you lose weight. Period. It’s why those commercial for diet pills say that they only work in conjunction with proper diet and exercise….b/c otherwise, it’d be false advertising.

I’m basically disgusted to read this question AND these answers.

It definitely will if all you do is sit infront of the computer all day and don’t exercise. I work online so am on my computer at least ten hours a day, but I don’t have a big belly. I make sure I still get up and get some activity everyday. I spend at least 2 hours a day walking the dogs and as I live in the country I am forever doing physical work. People can’t expect to sit around all day and not gain weight. It takes daily exercise to maintain a healthy weight.

Yep it can cuz ur not exerciseing, that is if u spend a lot of time on the pc

In a way, Yes. Your body isn’t doing anything. Also, if your not eating as much as sitting down, then not really, it won’t make you get a big belly:)

Thank You.

Sir, you really hit it on the head w/o mincing words. Straight talk. You’re great. I like your straight from the shoulder talk. Cheers

Sri, isn’t it a stupid or silly question to ask in a public forum like this ? Oh, come on man, we expected better than this from you – One who posed a real discusion point on religion. Please up the spirits and your thinking level. Did your helpful hubby oked this ‘’sitting’’ Qn ?

I have quite slim body, with ideal weight indeed. But I have this big belly. I have been delivering for 4 times and never has this big “bag” before. I was wondering if this big belly is due to the time I spend on my chair. Since I took the job of becoming a principle, I spend like over 5 hours sitting. Look, when we are sitting, all of our upper body part is pressing our belly, right?

That was one point, the second was Off my question if you do not like it since I was not spreading any invitation cards :-)

Thank you: I am not the first speaker of English so i do not know much about having the language style…

I messed up with things. you wrote Sir, I thought it was Sri LOL…

@gullycan, your response to Sri wasn’t necessary , this is a public site. She is allowed to ask any questions she desire!
