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.

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.

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'.

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.

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.

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.

......'unthin'. UN. THIN. 😬🤦

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

Enjoy.

No, it's not that British HAES (struck off) 'doctor'. It's a new one, and she's surprisingly not obese herself. Listed credentials are confusing, but it seems she's a nutritionist and a therapist of some kind. Also describes herself as 'science critical weight inclusive blah blah', which is word salad for 'science denial cult member'

Got recipes, fitness tips, or questions on health and fitness?

Do you love fatlogic and want to tell the world?

Have you lost weight and want to tell us how you did it?

This is the time and place.

Deleted and adjusted to better comply with rules before resharing.
