Aubrey Gordon Cannot understand that her Movement is a HUGE Part of the Problem.

[@huntedbystingrays371]

"we know all these things didn't do much." You mean I didn't lose 100 lb through healthier eating and kept it off for 7 years now through sustained habits and exercise? Crap, guess I'm suddenly 300 lb again, guys

[@Jan74]

I didn't go from morbid obesity to a healthy weight 25 years ago either, by exercising and learning that a portion is not half the pack of pasta. Aubrey said it doesn't work.

[@Fabdanc]

18 years and counting here!

[@mia1191]

The thing is they are just assuming a bunch of celebrities are taking ozempic while ignoring that doctors have to prescribe it. The people that have actually spoken about taking it were overweight or obese. Kelly Clarkson got it for medical reasons by her doctor it wasn’t because she wanted to lose vanity weight. Obesity is a comorbidity. Im glad we’re back to reality and talking about what obesity really does to the body and mind. Having cute clothes and dating won’t stop your body getting recked by the fat around your organs.

[@Alicia-Rene]

Yeah I’d love to know the identity of this “we” she’s speaking of at 4:35 🤔 because I’m pretty sure I’m back in a size 2 at 38 years old thanks to my diet. Yes, it will need to be maintained long term, but suggesting calorie deficits don’t result in weight loss (or that any weight loss achieved will be temporary) is just absurd. It’s 100% cope on their part and it’s embarrassingly transparent!

[@mightykaytor]

[Chortles in losing 100 lbs and maintaining a healthy weight for 8 years since realizing that "genetics" didnt make me fat]

[@ometecuhtli1396]

Realizing at 1:24 that I completely missed her talking point because I'm totally distracted by the way Alex is glowing!!

[@Jan74]

Alex is so handsome.

[@GraphicallyAlex]

❤️❤️

[@Beebeeanka]

"We know diet and exercise isn't the main driving factor behind weight loss" 😮 my jaw hit the floor!

[@sweettacular9899]

Straight up Flat Earther stuff tbh. It’s wild how Aubrey maintains this thin veneer of (pseudo) intellectualism most of the time but casually drops some of the most batshit crazy bald-face reality denial you’ve ever seen, the kind that would make Scientologists blush.

[@RatEatRat]

I've ONLY been gaining weight the past 3 years, like 22lbs. I started paying attention to what I was eating 2 months ago and I've lost 5lbs without doing much of anything. just a coincidence I guess tho!!!

[@Quossum]

You know, I could get behind these FA’s sayings “Diets don’t work” because it’s true that if you go on some unsustainable fad diet for a while, then go right back to eating the way you did before, yeah, you’re going to gain back what you lost. BUT… …when they start in with “diets and exercise don’t matter” and “lifestyle change is just another word for diet,” *that’s* when I get mad. If you want to be a lighter person, you have to start living the life of a lighter person. Where the changes you’re willing to make in your diet and exercise routine *for life* meet *your* body’s mechanisms, you’ll settle into a weight. If you want to make that weight different, you’ll have to make a few more changes…*forever.* If being slightly overweight but being able to treat yourself to certain foods a little more often is a trade off you’re willing to make, cool. If being tremendously overweight but being able to eat whatever you want and move very little is the life you want to live, cool. But if that’s the case, don’t try to convince other people that your way is the way that things HAVE to be. It’s not.

[@vashposh]

7:41 aubrey gordon debunks body building…evidence “like we all know right” -basically social pressure (bullying)

[@asiasia]

her laugh... doesnt she see his fit body? or Michael's from her maintenance phase? they are making fool out of her

[@herefortheshrimp1469]

She’s tricked herself into thinking that she’s a special medical anomaly

[@RatEatRat]

it's like my mom talking to my grandmother with dementia about how her very dead husband will definitely be back from the store soon

[@julia-o8f9h]

7:10 “but also I run and count macros but it doesn’t do much.” That’s funny because when I started running everyday and counting my macros, my body comp changed dramatically 🙃 must have been magic tho, not the healthy diet and exercise

[@sueorosz8886]

There are NO shortcuts to health…. I promise you that… take it from a boomer! Our bodies are meant to move and rest and move and rest…not just rest. We are made to do hard work and lift heavy things and run and walk and swim and hike…your body will thank you later for the work you do today… and eat according to the work you do … it’s pretty simple ❤ but that doesn’t mean it’s easy 😢

[@hannah22766]

For Aubrey to talk about Adele like fat activists weren’t the ones giving her shit for having decided what to do with her own body is really ANNOYING.

[@expensivepink7]

I can’t imagine how miserable it would be for her to think about this stuff so often and then also still maintain a consistent surplus like mentally and physically exhausting omg

[@Inked_Latina13]

I was just listening at the gym and I thought the witch hat was out from the start lol

[@GraphicallyAlex]

🤣🤭

[@vlnow]

You need better lighting on your self cam. A desk lamp will times 10 the quality

[@GraphicallyAlex]

Ok

[@nygmasc]

8:50 and the witch is like "she's already dead but I'm gonna spit on her grave anyways"

[@emilitalokita]

Wow, exercise doesn’t do anything? I guess all the exercise I’ve done to lose 100lbs over the last few years was all in my imagination. Modifying my diet to be healthier was just something I did for shits and giggles. The way I ate before must have had nothing to do with why I was so unhealthy. Fascinating.

[@riley4028]

4:56 crazy, cause i can promise that i would not have lost the weight i have this year if i wasn’t exercising alongside my calorie deficit

[@mercurymay39]

Ugh, Aubrey is always so pleased with herself for no reason.

[@holli-tamara]

Colin Mockery’s Lipadema video and a witch hat video in the same day ? We are truly blessed ❤

[@ronni913]

11:10 HAHHAHA that disappointed dislike lmao

[@minirth.maggie]

Yes Audrey. Self control and a work ethic are values people appreciate. One look at you, everyone can see you have neither.

[@nataa88]

Gen Xer here and yeah we don’t like fat acceptance. 🤣👍 love your commentary

[@missano3856]

Is she the one who got into it with Dan Savage about his hilarious line "anyone who thinks there's no obesity epidemic has never been to a water park in Sioux Falls SD"?

[@melc-f7983]

I adore aubrey's laugh. It makes me smile everytime and it almost makes me look past the fact that I disagree. Otherwise, as someone who doesn't care or follow celebrity culture, it's so weird to hear this discussion. I never knew people were taking the tabloids so seriously. I care about the people in my life, but about what random rich and popular people think.

[@julia-o8f9h]

Alex, have you seen Colin mockery’s 3 hour long video on lipodema? It’s a really interesting case study as to how FA has made its way into the health care system!

[@Beebeeanka]

Also just want to add, ozempic has very real side effect and one is pancreatitis. As someone who has suffed with that before i wouldn't wish that pain on my worst enemy and nothing is worth the risk of that and alot of people understand that.

[@tinyleafs]

i love when they assume a lifestyle change has to be a "diet" that ends, no wonder it doesnt work for all of them. they kind of remind me of that flat-earther documentary where they all accidentally prove the earth is round

[@bigdude101ohyeah]

I had the gastric sleeve back in 2014, and TRM prompted so much imposter syndrome.

[@vashposh]

4:18 but if we point out a overweight person saying they “dont even eat that much” even though diets don’t work it’s compassion?

[@CelieSchae]

Yaaasss I’m seated w my coffee for this 🤭

[@sweettacular9899]

I swear it feels like literally every single thought that pops into Aubrey’s head about literally anything must, always, somehow, every single time, return back to whinging about the world being biased or unfair against her because she’s fat. I cannot imagine living in the world and going about my everyday things with this kind of mindset. Aubrey’s ability to connect anything and everything she talks about back to “anti-fat bias” proves just how all-encompassing and defining of a feature she perceives her weight to be. It’s integral to her very identity at this point.

[@mercurymay39]

40:00 she studiously ignores what her movement actually says.

[@DanielWilson-k2d]

I can't believe she just said "exercise isn't a major driver in weight". Wait; did she really just say that? lol

[@Marisa-qr4fw]

Ugh, I hate when people say “we” in such an abstract sense. I have the same response as you, Alex. 😂

[@doctafill77]

I get what you mean about stepping on toes sometimes. There are people who will say "be nice" as a way to control opinions they dislike. IMO, encouraging obesity and shutting down valid critique is what's not nice.

[@vashposh]

kortney has always been the small one also ozempic causes muscle loss so its not a great solution unless you need it for medical

[@Andrew_O]

Introspection and accountability an anathema to the FA community...

[@Alicia-Rene]

Get that hat!!! I’m here for the brat hat ❤

[@foop9]

Weeeeeee!

[@worlddictionary9954]

matt is so disingenuous i'm sick
