Ppl automatically associate our bodies with laziness and stuffing our face constantly like gluttons. turns out it’s more effective health wise to target healthy sustainable behaviors like regular movement and nutrient density vs hating yourself into restriction and thinness. Who would have thought

It’s bc of the inaccuracy of the BMI scale. It is only used to measure weight by height and “average” and it doesn’t include muscle, bone density, body type, etc. there is a different scale that can be used but doctors stick to bmi bc it is easier to calculate. But also fat is a perception thing, I swim a lot and have big arms bc of it and I don’t go on cal deficit very often bc of my ED. People perceive a 2% body fat as healthy and fat as something bad all bc of beauty standards and just assume

I gained weight from one of my mental health meds. I had always been stick thin my whole life. But unfortunately it happens. Fatness can be caused by a lot of things like medications in my case or certain health problems. Also they never mention how unhealthy it is to be underweight or how it’s not usually good if you drop a lot of weight quickly.

No, that’s the caloric need for any adult who isn’t super tiny 😭 male or female. Like maybe a naturally slim 4”11 woman would need a little less. You can achieve a small moderate deficit with just some daily walking. You don’t want to be in a deficit more than a couple hundred calories if you’re looking for sustainability and don’t want to risk the development of an eating disorder Yes clearly it varies that’s what I said AT LEAST 1800 calories for 95% of the adult population 😭
