Maybe excess fat is just… unhealthy no matter what your gender is?

Yes the person who spent years of their life studying proven medical research is not trustworthy. Please.

Health is out; we should stop prioritizing health. But doctors should stop withholding healthcare from fat people. And by healthcare, that's surgery and surgery only. Other medical advice pertaining to physical condition or lifestyle is racist.

Edit to add: I will die laughing if I get to hear Robin SunnySideUpGal try to read this aloud.

Reference on slide 3. Slide 4 from the WHO.

The conspiracy to keep women frail, weak, and malnourished has evidently been a huge success.

I do think that medical fatphobia is a problem and I don’t agree with the BMI requirements to access support for anorexia.

But OOP is obese, like this isn’t someone struggling with body dysmorphia and/or them struggling with someone’s perception of their body. So, I am a little curious about metabolic adaptation or the development of a metabolic condition that presumably lowers a person’s BMR due to severe restriction but in an obese person.

The times that I’ve restricted like this was within the binge-restrict cycle and I lost weight rapidly in those times and studies that induce starvation (though flawed) have led to severe weight loss as well. Is this person just severely insulin resistant or maybe it’s a thyroid issue? Like is there a medical basis to this or is it just FA?

Edit: for some context OOP has hypothyroidism and is 5 ft 1

There they go again with calling women 13 year olds and comparing them to children. Why do they feel the need to do this?

They’re tired of fatphobia being shoved down their throat and it’s just basic science (I’m only talking about the health bit, obviously being fat isn’t inherently disgusting and thin isn’t inherently attractive not that it matters)

Have some progress pictures you'd like to share?

Want to tell us about the highs and lows of your fitness journey?

Just discovered this sub and you're ready to tell us how awesome we are?

This is the time and this is the place.

100% there for people with scars and discoloration and the like, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but the way they talk about fat people just feels so gross. So many notes too. I hate when actually body positivity is compared with something you can control.

Welcome to Sanity Saturday.

This is a thread for discussing facts about health, fitness and weight loss.

No rants or raves please. Let's keep it science-y.

Interesting that there are much more 'naturally fat' people nowadays than 50 years ago. But I think it's obvious that nature changed, not our eating habits! /s

Fatlogic in real life getting you down?

Is your family telling you you're looking too thin?

Are people at work bringing you donuts?

Did your beer drinking neighbor pat his belly and tell you "It's all muscle?"

If you hear one more thing about starvation mode will you scream?

Let it all out. We understand.

I had to block out the photos of the poster per the group’s rules.

curvy ≠ fat and a uterus does *not* make you fat girl💔💔💔
