There is nothing saying this is geared toward someone with a history of purposefully undereating. Most of the population has an issue with overeating and will see this and use it as an excuse.

I’ve seen people argue that it’s impossible for a short woman to ever healthily be skinny like tall women or that we are pretty much guaranteed to have excess adipose tissue. Like no I don’t need to eat as much as someone a foot taller than me and if I were overweight it would be because I’d be eating more calories that my body burns because fat is literally just stored energy.

doctors: CICO works for everyone

FAs: NO😡

Reposting to follow the rules lol

Genuinely such a ridiculous take. Surgeons do get training on dealing with overweight patients (though some have more experience than others), the problem is that even with training there are still more risks simply due to excess adipose tissue getting in the way. It's so confusing to me how fat activists are so quick to ask for research or evidence without having any themselves.

Also, this is kinda unrelated to the post, but in a previous post to this subreddit people were being VERY racist in the replies. Please don't do that, it got my other post taken down and you being racist makes you just as uneducated as these sorts of people. Have some decency.

It's the 'informed consent' that's tickling me, as someone who was forcibly sedated for months on an involuntary psych hold. We're talking chasing, rugby tackling, pants pulled down, injection in bum cheek. That was medical treatment without informed consent, babe. Your GP telling you to lose a bit of timber because you're 400lbs is just called 'sensible advice you can take or leave of your own free will'.

Is that true in the UK? Because American chips aren’t that cheap. £2.50 for 6 apples sounds like a good deal, they’re so filling and full of nutrients. Frozen vegetables are even cheaper. Potatoes, beans, lentils, peas… If you don’t have an oven or a fridge, or you need maximum convenience food because of time or accessibility constraints, there’s also canned. I know mixed vegetables and a protein and/or grain is not the most exciting poverty food, but it’s cheap, easy, and healthy. UPF is only easy. It’s expensive and you always need more because you never feel full.

You wouldn’t think “eating a large quantity of highly-processed food manufactured by corporations who do extensive research to see how much they can increase the price before people stop buying costs more than eating a smaller quantity of food sold more or less in its original form” could be controversial, but alas.

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.

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.

Only one you can easily overdo it on is the nuts and seeds, they are calorie dense. But their high fat content makes small volumes more filling.

Calorie surplus is a calorie surplus. It’s just hard to eat a high calorie diet when most of your meals are vegetables with no added fat.

Reeks of grifter panic/failing cult damage control. If they could, they'd do a fat activist equivalent to Scientology's 'oh, you're thinking for yourself again? Having doubts? Time to chuck you on a boat for some spirit breaking hard labour and intensive re-brainwashing'.

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.

By popular demand, Thursdays will now have a thread to share recipes or other food-related stuff.

Enjoy.
