Autumn

This is more Schadenfreude than reportage per se* (though the information is factual, it’s editorialized), but it’s entertaining all the same:

*Just saying I am aware of the bias. The YouTuber never claimed to be impartial to my knowledge.

@autumn I highly recommend acquainting yourself https://youtu.be/GGfgmq3hrTQ although another great wealth of information besides Dr Joel Fuhrman is Dr Will Bulsciewicz, and his book “Fiber Fueled,” also see “Mastering Diabetes.” By Cyrus….(forget the last name).

I’ll try to give it a watch later in the week when I have some time.

Autumn,

Presumably they’re both capable of just reading my first post on the subject matter. I’d wager most people are.

I read your post too and you presume to tell agricultural producers how to do their work and to tell consumers how to eat. Sounds like the same food control freakery that starved millions throughout The…

My mom in her sixties was younger than I’ve been since I was a teenager. It was like her second childhood in many ways—better in that she had more money and autonomy. But rather than a serious notion that I plan to retire early, so-to-speak, it’s the idea that I could. I’ve given myself the license to say I’ve had enough if I really feel that’s t…[Read more]

There are a few people are less likely to get depending on diet. Vitamin D. Omega 3. Vitamin K, I think. One of the -siums (magnesium?). Some people are more prone to iron deficiency. And with a lot of people turning a way from iodized salt, it’s possible people don’t get enough iodine.

Then there are anti-nutrients. Oatmeal, for instance, has…[Read more]

this is also wrong autumn sorry, more lies and myths that have been circled in population for far too long. The truth is that if you have eaten a diet that is high in micro nutrients, you will not over eat. Period. It is physically impossible to eat more calories than your body needs when you have met adequate micro nutrient…

I disagree. I think by not telling people the whole and honest to God truth, they don’t fully understand what’s happening to their body and they are not able to live their best lives.

That’s not a disagreement. I’m not advocating downplaying potential health impacts of obesity. Far fewer people are doing this than you might bel…[Read more]

@autumn

Most people can get most of the micro nutrients they need without calculating daily values.

And you know this how? The truth is most people don’t get the micro nutrients they need. That’s why they over eat and constantly feel like they’re hungry when their body really does not need any more calories.

Because most of th…[Read more]

There are many necessary things from the body positive movement. It is a problem if the message downplays elevated health risks associated with obesity; however, a large part of the body positive movement exists to counteract harmful narratives. There is no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Unfortunately, this advice is often given to people who are overweight… And it’s wrong. There is so much wrong information out there it’s absolutely mind-boggling. No wonder nobody knows what to do!

It’s not really wrong; however, there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

I can’t really account for Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s work as I…[Read more]

We will soon be hearing much about Ozempic, an anti-diabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and long-term weight loss. I only heard about it last night at a meal in a friends house. He needs it for what it is intended for but it is short supply because so many people are using it for dieting.…

Here’s why vandals sprayed graffiti at Focus on the Family headquarters.

I’m not hopeful we’ll ever get a motive out of the perpetrator. It seems they’ve had a pretty fucked up life. While obviously that doesn’t excuse mass murder, it’s possible the crime didn’t have any motive as clearcut as hate/ bigotry/ i…[Read more]

World of Woo: GOLO for Weight Loss.

I’ve been looking at fitness and weight loss regimes a lot lately. Losing weight when you’ve gained can be quite challenging. Modern life in many parts of the world feels more conducive to obesity than healthier weight, yet many people for reasons such as health or aesthetics are…[Read more]
