You're just full of opinions today, aren't you?


Nasty ones, mostly.

 He is probably alluding to your filth in the CTAM: Count to a million and be the first forum to do it thread you made today. Come on, try to keep it classy.

3. “Health at every size” seems physically impossible.

A big part of the Fat Acceptance Movement seems to be the idea of Health At Every Size

 

LOL it's hilarious that you linked to this website.  I took a nutrition class several years ago with Prof Linda Bacon and she was full of shit.  Her textbook for the class was filled with non-objective, verbose garbage that preached on and on about how obese people are naturally that way and we should accept it and not "punish people for the way they look".  She disliked anyone who tried to argue with her (a good professor would always be up for a challenge) and especially gave a nasty attitude to any students who were skinny.

 

As someone who loves science, I wanted more scientific research backing up her claims, not personal philosophies.

 

She was very hypocritical as well, she said fat people shouldn't try to lose weight and should focus on accepting themselves, while bragging about how she used to be fat while younger and managed to lose weight. No one cared about her personal life, but she sure loved interjecting her anecdotes into lectures.

 

"We've lost the war on obesity. Fighting fat hasn't made the fat go away. "

 

This quote pisses me off so much because my cousins children all have diabetes and HUGE weight issues.  They live in Los Angeles and their mother (my cousin) constantly goes through drive-thrus and feeds them shit daily.  Apparently parents feeding their kids healthier food is pointless because "we're already losing the war".

Proof you can be healthy at any BMI as long as you meet proper nutrient quotas, do some light exercise, control drinking, and don't smoke.

Proof that as long as you take care of yourself (i.e. don't develop diabetes or high blood pressure or high cholesterol), overweight people are at NO greater risk of developing a heart condition.

BMI is bullshit.

Proof that obesity only affects your health when you reach stage 2 or 3 obesity -- but this study can be said to be relatively flawed since it relies on the BMI scale.

Fat athletes who are still more athletic than you.

I have no idea what exactly you're trying to argue, but you certainly haven't proven that one can be healthy and obese (which is my main argument and the reason I created this thread).

The authors of this paper did NOT come to that conclusion, only that adopting healthier habits is beneficial for people of any weight...

Again, where do the authors of this paper come to such a conclusion? The paper literally does not mention weight.

 
 
BMI is flawed, for sure, but what makes you think NFL players are healthy?

"Relative to normal weight, obesity (all grades) and grades 2 and 3 obesity were both associated with significantly higher all-cause mortality. Grade 1 obesity was not associated with higher mortality, suggesting that the excess mortality in obesity may predominantly be due to elevated mortality at higher BMI levels. "

 

So...obesity is deadly.

Ok.

One cannot be sustainable both obese and healthy.

Ya, all cause mortality is dramtically decreased the further over 30 and under 17.5 you go. BMI is total garbage, but weight is still an important factor. It is more telling by itself than most other indicators. Especially because it often goes hand in hand with hyperglycemia/hypercholesterolemia.

When your body looks like a chicken nugget you need to reevaluate your life.

Thanks! I hope I don't lose too much of them in the weight loss process.
