I once proved a point to my mother who was over a hundred pounds overweight. She always tried all these trend diets she found in magazines and they never worked. She also bought a gym membership and wasted money on a trainer (who was in idiot), and she gave up cause it was too hard. So I told her, here's what we're gonna do. I get to control your portion sizes for 3 months. We will still eat all the same foods (I cook at our house), but you have to let me get your plate, and pack your lunch for work, and you can't go back for more. I also told her that ANYTHING is exercise, moving is exercise. So I'd have her just do things like. Lift your legs off the floor from the couch, and hold them there for 10 seconds, then drop them, do that 5 times. Raise your arms up and swivel them for a set time. Get up, and sit down 10 times not using your hands. Stuff like that. And my last rule was she couldn't check her weight at all till the end of the 3 months. I started weighing her portions. And I'd just drop them by a couple of grams every day or so. We still all her faves. Breads, pasta, rice dishes, burgers all of it. "Do a lap around the house one time, and sit back down." So on, so on. At the end of the 3 months she'd lost 23 pounds, and just started crying, and hugged me. You don't have to starve, and be sore to lose weight. I hope everyone realizes that.

[@aliensoup2420]

" You don't have to starve, and be sore to lose weight." You just need to be responsible and disciplined. Weight control is a lifestyle, not a crash program. The only thing that requires a program is your brain. Every good thing you do for yourself must become a habit.

Now I have been told to never speak to her again about the issue. I'm broken and sad about not being able to be honest with her and the crap she is fed by Doctors who pander and give her more drugs.

He would eat salads at the chow hall but literally drowned his salads in ranch dressing and would clean the bowl (it literally looked like cereal). I told him you would probably be better off eating a cheeseburger with fries instead of that bowl of ranch. Many of these people are delusional.

Love how she brings up mental illness as an example of how visually you can't assess someone's health, as a mental health counsellor, we use visual cues to assess how our clients are doing all the time. someone's poor hygiene, change in dress, dramatic weight loss or gain, odd movements, can all be signs of poor mental health.

[@FuckTape222]

I was gonna say, even on an unprofessional level, I can tell when depression is getting the better of some of my friends by the way they look. Things like matted hair, unbrushed teeth, and weight change are some pretty blatant clues.

[@Tespri]

To be fair some mental illnesses can't be detected visually. However you're still mostly correct. Look can still tell a lot about person. Being bit chubby can be sign of just poor lifestyle choices. For example going out and partying every weekend easily builds up caloric intake. While being extremely obese is clear sign of someone using food for comfort due to mental issues.

[@lindz758]

@Tespri yes, of course some people can hide their mental health struggles quite well, I just take issue with what she said in the video and the attempt to make a broad brush statement about how you can't detect someone's health by looking at them and proceeds to give examples of mental health to make her point. Trained professionals can be quite good at detecting issues with health by looking at someone and making observations.

I've gotten weighed with relatives and friends WAY bigger than me to demonstrate this point, they almost always end up weighing less than me. So I wonder how much passive activity + the macro balance of your diet affects the composition of a person. I gained weight from overeating home cooked meals; real meat, real carbs and real veg.

​@@williambrinkmeier1772 I don't think it's genetic, the body will only build the muscle that's required to move when your that big. if he just walked until he was about to drop dead, he'd probably get more muscle and be able to move easier, but because he's that big, he tries to move as little as possible, worsening his predicament. If he were walking more, working out, and dieting, while still being fat, then it's genetics, but if you can do the work and get results, and you just don't want to, that's on you. Also I'm sure you're super fit, and idk what a no-workout version of you looks like, but in my mind, if anyone who doesn't work out(or doesn't have a physically demanding job) tries to squat 405 they are gonna get folded into oblivion.

I've worked at a hospital where some patients are so big that they have to be transported to different facilities to be weighed on large animal scales and put through large animal MRI machines. They actually ended up building a special room in the ER with double doors, more room space, and a crane for lifting heavy patients. We also didn't have many bariatric beds for larger patients and they had to be rented from special companies at large cost and required deep cleaning that we weren't even equipped to do.

Watching this video hit home. I’ve always been a big guy since I was a kid. After playing football I was 6’4 295lbs. I maintained that weight for a while but I fell into some rough times and the mix of depression, overeating and sleeping 10+ hours each day caused my weight to balloon up to 375 over the span of a year. Even though I didn’t feel too bad physically, the mental strain of feeling like I was going to young and knowing that I looked like a sloppy mess became too much to handle. Over the span of the last year I’ve lost 50 pounds by upping my activity levels and cutting the amount I was eating in half. Still being weighing over 300 pounds I know that I still have a ways to go but just knowing that I’ve been moving in the right direction has kept me motivated. I feel bad for the people in this video because they’re robbing themselves of the feeling of pride that they would get by taking control of their own life and knowing that they are truly trying their best to live the best life they possibly can.

It makes me a bit sad because all my fat friends at school have problems in P.E class because they get exhausted after running for less then 2 minutes at a slow pace.

Hi, dermatologist here. I own my practice and treat many obese patients. I have lost quite a few patients as a result of their morbid obesity due to skin infections. When severe infections occur in the deep folds of skin and fat, it is a bacterial nightmare. It’s hot, sweaty, you have friction, and tearing of the skin coupled with poor hygiene. It is also very difficult to treat because there is no blood flow to the area, so antibiotics are not effective. The infection spreads, they become septic, and they die. It could all be avoided if they lost weight. In addition, some people refuse to acknowledge their weight as the root cause for their problems. Due to that, some will refuse treatment solely because the treatment is different for people of an average weight. This mindset infuriates me. I lost a young woman two years ago due to her refusal to acknowledge her weight problem. She weighed 550lbs, was barely able to walk, and truly believed and preached this health at every size, and fat acceptance nonsense. She was 32 when she died. These people need to wake up. Your weight will catch up to you.

I'm doing things now I never dreamed of doing.. and quicker then i ever could of dreamt.. I have mental disabilities and things that genuinely make it alot harder for me.. but plot twist.. my mental disabilities and health problems are all better due to living healthier and working on being a better person.. turns out being healthier is a natural and good way to help with mental illness and things.. better then any drug could.. only thing I would say is for people like myself, the first step to losing the weight is working on your lifestyle and the mentality you have towards life.. if you find a reason and a purpose that matters to you, then losing weight comes naturally.. for me I found out I really love exploring new places.. but I couldn't do it because of health problems.. which gave me the motivation and reason i needed to lose weight.. and now i feel the best I've ever felt in my life and i get to explore and go new places and actually enjoy it and love it.. anyway, I wish anyone and everyone the best with life, I hope you all stay positive and happy.. have a good day :)

What a great channel you have with very thoughtful reflections. And I like the lovely photos that is shown as well! Some about today's episode: The woman with the lipedema had also a couple episodes on her social media trying to blame medical fatphobia for her problems at the same she would not have gone to stage 4 of massive lipedema undetected unless she was so massively oversized. And the self treatment of daily massage and compression she didn't do for more than a few weeks because "who has got the time?!?!" The woman in the first clip in the "What I eat in a day", Jordyn (who perhaps was not a total FA because she sometimes seemed to mock reasoning and habits of fat people), recently went public with that she had been diagnosed with cancer that is one of those most common with obese people and changed her habits to lose the excess weight. I don't think she is even 30 years old. On medical fat phobia it probably can happen but my experience is the opposite, a couple of years I go I was diagnosed with depression (a few years later they saw I had hypothyroidism). I became overweight which I thought was the antidepressant, I was below BMI of 30 but was still concerned over what I thought was rapid weight gain which did not go away with significant amount of cardio and eating healthier (I did not eat much junkfood to begin with but high carb which is like a cultural thing for those engaged in endurance activities). But it was me who brought it up with the doctors and almost everyone shrugged it off with "But you're not even obese!" and that the negative physical aspect of it could be just a side effect of medication (which still did about nothing to improve my energy levels which was the reason to why I was prescribed it). So my personal experience is that the approach is one of avoidance at a stage where it better could be addressed, i.e. they may have perhaps been addressing it if I had gone to BMI of 30-35 or more?

[@kumoticc]

Man... I've been trapped in the opposite cult for 4 years too. A pro anorexic cult. I truly believed being like 70lbs and under was healthy and anything higher was fat and disgracious. Having the lowest BMI was a competition and we were all so insecure that we had to pretend we were better than the other because we were ''disciplined'' enough to not eat anything. We were all encouraging and influencing each other down a dark path on some websites and forums. After multiple health scares and realising that it was complete bullshit, I decided to start recovering (which was very recently). Everything you said sound so familiar but on the total opposite side of the spectrum. Now it's so hard to eat enough on a daily basis and, just like you said, not returning to old, bad habits. I don't know how people obviously see a problem with pro anorexics but not with those fat activists when it's the exact same thing, one extreme and the other! Your videos help me out a lot.

[@AlvinKazu]

That's so sad. I've heard it's this way in many parts of Japan, and the girls there are very fat conscious and are thin. I think that certain videos talking about how disgusting fat people are, will cause you to have a trigger that makes you go down the anorexic path, because you don't want to be fat. Watching all these videos, scared and nervous of being fat... Then boom, a traumatic incident and then it happens, the darkness. The thing is, we need to be kind and positive to people. Sure, it's not okay to be at either extreme, but don't treat the people like they are trash, because then it's going to make them double down on their path and the mental illness involved. DO PEOPLE THINK THAT AN OBESE PERSON DOESN'T KNOW THEY ARE OBESE AND THERE IS AN ISSUE? Only a small portion of people (pretty much only f-ist left-ist, lib women are this way). It's the same with the anorexic group you speak about, because they are only a small portion of very thin/anorexic people. I would think that many of these people need soft kindness; however, many in here posted how "toughness" changed them. I think that "toughness" can make someone change, because they don't want to be made fun of, or treated like an outcast.... But then you're just a follower, following others on someone else's path... Not going down your own path, with the help and support of others. That's the difference to me. ---------------- My suggestion to you is to find a local dairy farm and start drinking farm fresh milk that isn't heated at all. That will help you in all sorts of ways including putting on weight and getting you a ton of extremely beneficial nutrients, as well as fixing your gut microbiome which most likely was damaged with what you were doing. I personally have fasted by not eating for 3 days at a time, but I weighed 300lbs and had the fat stores to do this. I also assume your group didn't follow fasting protocols, and people were probably still eating during the day... but tiny amounts... Right? Not eating will allow the body to heal and do a lot of good things if it has the fat storage, but if you don't have the fat storage, and you're just eating tiny amounts... That's going to be bad.

Thankfully for me, I'm very money motivated and healthy food is extremely cheap in comparison to fast food and processed food (despite what they'll tell you), and this has been my secret weapon to keep the weight off.

I have a very similar story to Ethan. All my life I've been told these vague things about how it's all about what you eat, counting calories is just going to make you quit, just eat when you feel like it. And all my life I've basically never made even a good dent in my obesity (and I've been obese since like grade school). Weight loss became this vague impossible thing that just did not seem like something that can happen to me. I'm eating all the right things, but nothing is happening (it sure won't if you keep eating it by the armful, no matter how healthy it theoretically is), something must be wrong with me. Now I'm over 30, suffering from various health conditions and just done with the idea that food will ever actually help me. It's ruined my body and solved none of my problems. I wanted to stop. And I really just figured, finally, that it can't be some magical thing, it's just thermodynamics: energy comes in, energy is used, excess is stored. So I started a notebook on my phone, and I mark down every meal, every calorie, I eat, and have daily quotas. It's made all the difference, in many ways. For one, it makes me realize how much I was eating previously, and how much calories things have. For two, it dispels all vagueness around what I eat and how much. And finally, it's the first time in my life I've actually managed to start losing weight in a way that feels like I'm actually controlling it. I'm checking my notes, I'm making a chart of my weight loss, I see exactly how everything is working. No magic, no vagueness. There are no "just a bit won't hurt" mouthfuls. That piece of chocolate was nearly a 100 calories, it ain't nothing. (And it also means I can actually give myself a break and eat something "unhealthy" without feeling like shit, since I write it down and see exactly how much it is and what that implies for other food I eat that day. Before I'd feel so goddamn bad for eating any snack because it felt like a failing. Now I can actually work with it.) People who give advice like "Don't think about the calories, just eat the proper things and only when you're hungry" etc are often people who have no idea what a lifetime of obesity does to someone's sense of these things. Last year, I literally could not tell you what is a "normal" amount of something to eat, or how often is normal to eat. If you tell me to eat only when I feel like I need to, I'm eating all the time. I'm not coming into this with a lifetime of learning healthy eating habits, my normals are eating a lot, and often. People say counting calories is a hassle. For me, it is just taking all the stress, vagueness and woo out of all this. I feel so much better knowing how much I ate and that it is according to my deficit goals. I can look at my calorie diaries and know that I'm actually doing this. And it's the first time ever I feel like I can actually do this. I'm sure it won't work for everyone, but many other methods sure don't seem to be working either, so I really think it's worth a shot at least.

[@rosestar1324]

This is good for me to hear. Last time I weighed myself, I was in my early 300s. I don't have a scale at home so idk how much I weigh right now, but since the beginning of the month, I've been dedicated to lose weight and get healthier. I was told that 130 mins of exercise a week is a good start so I started going to the gym 5 days a week and using the exercise bike. My minimum is 30 minutes on the bike a day and I also had already been cutting my calorie in-take before I started going back to the gym. I try to push myself and do at least 35 minutes of exercise or more if I can push myself but since losing weight, I've been feeling like I have more energy and I sometimes go over my daily minimum. Before I started, my stomach was bigger than my chest and now my stomach is smaller than my chest. I probably haven't lost much weight but the little weight I did lose has made me feel a lot better. It also has helped my posture. I think I had an issue with slouching cuz my stomach was too big, and now I'm able to consistently walk comfortably with my shoulders back. When I started a few weeks ago, I struggled to keep up 60 rotations per min on the bike and now I can more easily do 70 rotations per min on the bike. I'm no where near ready to stop this, but I'm just feeling really proud of myself and hopeful that I'll be in a much better spot by the holidays if I keep this up. And btw, I also don't eat 100% healthy. I can't afford healthy grocery food cuz I don't have my snap card rn, so I have eaten a little bit of fast food (not much cuz it makes me sick.) But I will sometimes eat 1 or 2 things from the dollar menu and then I'll be full. But I definitely decreased my overall calories cuz I don't eat 3 meals a day anymore. I eat a small breakfast and then a medium sized/small dinner which is mostly stuff i cook at hime like soups and chili. I eat slowly and when my body says I'm full I stop eating, I don't over eat anymore. It's all a mind game basically. If your mind tells you it's too hard then your body will give up. You gotta have an end goal in mind and keep picturing that goal whenever you're tempted to quit. For me, it's wearing certain clothes like crop tops confidently. I don't want my belly hanging out for everyone to see, so I'll just need to lose weight so I won't feel bad.

I was living with a sjw that was a victim 3x (weight, mental health and lesbian). It was close to impossible to have any kind of conversation without her pulling out one of her victim cards. Anyhow, my bloodwork came back as pre-diabetic, which of course I found concerning. She comes home one day and I mention to her that I'm pre-diabetic and really need to get more broccoli into my life. She completely freaks out on me! How dare I mention "diet" (I didn't, just broccoli)! Her girlfrind was on psych meds that were causing her to gain weight and the mention of diet harmed her mental health. I sat in stunned silence. The girlfriend in question wasn't even in the house. The following day she pranced into the house, girlfriend in tow, each sucking down a huge fattening, sugary frozen shake-like drink. Not only was she enabling her girlfriend to deepen her weight-related self-esteem issues, she was flaunting something that could, theoretically, be highly triggering to me (this happened 6 years ago and I only now realized the irony).

[@flavoracid]

I support this channel, usually thumb up content, leave a comment to help algorithm, etc, and I don't think I've ever left a negative comment, but there was one piece of commentary I disagreed with. That dietician (or whatever) in the first half of the video talking about there's a maintenance weight your body wants to stay at, I believe, is absolutely true. I work out, have been for over a decade. Dabbled in body building, transitioned to power lifting - properly maintaining a caloric surplus, then shed over 40lbs switching to HIIT, and back to a modified balance of cardio and weight training. No matter what I did, my body always felt like it was pulling me to about 205 lbs. When I got up to 230 at peak of PL, I had to force food in my face like a zombie to maintain my strength, and when I started sprinting and doing HIIT, cutting in a deficit, I became absolutely ravenous when I dipped below 195. When I fell into the 180 range it took extreme discipline to maintain that weight. No matter what I did, how i trained, or how I ate, my body likes being 205. Now, what the dietician was saying was more "what her body is telling her to weigh is broken", so it's like.. my body says 205, but that obese woman's body is telling her 350. Do I agree with that..? Idk. Idk how ghrelin, insulin, and the brain work. I just don't. But is the doctor technically correct that there *is* a setpoint for a person's body? Yes. Can that setpoint be broken or disrupted by hormones and brain chemistry? ...maybe? but again, right or wrong, there is, in fact, a setpoint the brain tries to communicate to the body to maintain through hormones. That's all. I love the content. Keep it up.

But I'm not gonna blame the food or the pregnancy or anyone else. I over ate, then had my son and ate because I was overwhelmed. And now I am trying to get back on track. Your message of blaming no one other than yourself is so refreshing. It's why people didn't agree with what I was doing when I originally started loosing weight. People saw me eating things like bread, butter, the occasional pizza and scoffed at my 'diet' even though the results were easy to seem. It's so easy to blame food for your weight, but that weight doesn't come off untill you realise that it is you that is the problem.
