"For 60 Years, Doctors And Researchers Have Known Two Things That Could Have Improved, Or Even Saved,

Everything You Know About Obesity Is Wrong

For decades, the medical community has ignored mountains of evidence to wage a cruel and futile war on fat people, poisoning public percepti

"For 60 years, doctors and researchers have known two things that could have improved, or even saved, millions of lives. The first is that diets do not work. Not just paleo or Atkins or Weight Watchers or Goop, but all diets. Since 1959, research has shown that 95 to 98 percent of attempts to lose weight fail and that two-thirds of dieters gain back more than they lost. The reasons are biological and irreversible. As early as 1969, research showed that losing just 3 percent of your body weight resulted in a 17 percent slowdown in your metabolism—a body-wide starvation response that blasts you with hunger hormones and drops your internal temperature until you rise back to your highest weight. Keeping weight off means fighting your body’s energy-regulation system and battling hunger all day, every day, for the rest of your life.

The second big lesson the medical establishment has learned and rejected over and over again is that weight and health are not perfect synonyms. Yes, nearly every population-level study finds that fat people have worse cardiovascular health than thin people. But individuals are not averages: Studies have found that anywhere from one-third to three-quarters of people classified as obese are metabolically healthy. They show no signs of elevated blood pressure, insulin resistance or high cholesterol. Meanwhile, about a quarter of non-overweight people are what epidemiologists call “the lean unhealthy.” A 2016 study that followed participants for an average of 19 years found that unfit skinny people were twice as likely to get diabetes as fit fat people."

A surprising article to find on the Huffington post. I think, especially towards the end, there's still a saturation of healthism and diet talk (just of the "clean eating" variety), but the information about weight discrimination is absolutely on point, especially within the medical field ignoring decades of research.

Not only do we know that weight loss isn't sustainable or possible, we also know that weight discrimination kills, in a myriad of ways. If you actually care about "health" then start unlearning your weight bias NOW and realize that fat people are just people who are a different shape.

And this article doesn't even touch on "the obesity paradox"(the fact that fat people survive heart attacks and injuries BETTER THAN thin people) or the fact that dieting, especially "yo-yo dieting," is a better predictor for heart disease than weight, and that many of the fat people who have cardiovascular diseases have a long history of dieting that (understandably) didn't work.

encouraged to rb but fatphobes will just be blocked.

Fat is a normal size. It is normal for people to be fat because it is normal for people to be different sizes. It's ok to be fat.

to everyone still pirating from sketchy sites named shit like freemovie12369virusfucknow dot com dot net dot au dot lol :

DOWNLOAD SOULSEEK

(*or nicotine. same server different client.)

everything you could ever want, someone on there has. it's p2p. there's no ads. there's a very effective honor system so you'll never have to worry about downloading anything that isn't what you thought it was.

it is home to a large community of datahoarders and lossless audio fans and cinephiles who host some really high quality movies/tv/music. none of that 140p covered by a filter captions with ads shit. this is the real shit. this is quality. it is refined piracy, piracy for those with enough self respect not to bother with torrents and seeding. soulseek is piracy for the mature professional

To Everyone Still Pirating From Sketchy Sites Named Shit Like Freemovie12369virusfucknow Dot Com Dot

look at this. ALL of this is courtesy of soulseek. spotify is down? oh that's a shame i didn't even notice. i've already got every song ever made right here on my home media server.

piracy is always morally correct but it makes you COOLER than everyone else to do it correctly. you deserve 1080p movie downloads where you can see all of their pores. download soulseek do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it please

Fat and thin people with kidney failure experience similar benefits to health and longevity when they receive a live donor kidney transplant.

Yet fat patients are routinely denied kidney transplants until they lose weight, a delay that can increase the risk of serious complications like graft loss by as much as 68%.

[ID: A man speaks to Everett on the sidewalk, his hands behind his back. Everett looks at him angrily, carrying his umbrella under his right arm. /end] Nosy Man: Everett, you're entirely too fat. Dangerously overweight. You need more exercise. Have you ever considered golf?

[ID: Everett smacks the man out of frame with his umbrella, executing a perfect golf swing with it. /end] Everett: FORE!!!
