This. The moment I tell myself I’m on a diet or counting calories or whatever, I freak out and go back to bad habits/BED. BUT as I’ve been making small slow sustainable changes that make me feel better (such as cutting out foods that spike my blood sugar/insulin, which makes me dizzy… eating lots of fruits and veggies… reducing “junk food” or foods I’m intolerant to because they make me feel so awful… going on walks or going dancing or doing yoga to relieve back pain and move my body…) I’ve naturally lost weight slowly and sustainably.

Right? I can say I tried fasting because I don’t eat in my sleep. When a “diet” lasts a couple days you haven’t tried and failed it. Exercise doesn’t make me lose weight if I go to the gym 3 times and quit. You can’t “try” things you have to change things. I am on WW and it has taught me not only what foods to eat but what foods are not worth the calories and what foods make me feel good/full, it is a lifestyle change not a “try”. Since starting WW the first week in July I have not had one spike or drop in my blood sugar that was happening several times a week before.

@@powderandpaint14exactly, I remember them saying they'd rather die than do keto. Granted it's important to be careful because a lot of folks don't follow a keto lifestyle properly and try to depend on all the "keto-friendly" junk food that now exists (and unfortunately, highly processed junk food is still highly processed junk food no matter what label you slap on it). But focusing on a diet of mostly whole foods with higher protein, healthy fats from whole food sources (not harmful industrial seed oils), no sugar, and low carbs WILL lower inflammation, reduce water retention (because it has diuretic effects on the body), and help a person start to lose fat. Supporting keto with strength training for just 30 minutes 2 to 3 times a week and daily walks of at least 30 minutes can seriously increase the fat loss. And for those who can safely do so, intermittent fasting or even just shifting to only eating twice a day can take that success even further. But it's a lifestyle change that a person has to be willing to make long-term, and really make a commitment to stay away from the "healthy" junk food. Doing keto properly there no way a person would gain 150 lbs, especially not in a short amount of time.

I mean behaviour like that usually comes from mental health issues. If the only solution you get is lose weight. You're not gonna change unhealthy coping mechanisms, you're not gonna adress the mental health issues causing them to eat like that. You as a doctor basically slap on a band aid and say, that's good enough. As a patient in that moment you're also not gonna feel heard. Because you eat out of distress over something and instead of adressing the distress they adress your weight. Imagine going in for a check up and you go I feel depressed. And the doctor says, its cause of your weight try losing it. When the depression existed before the overweight and even caused the overweight cause you only had food to self sooth. Just saying sugar gives you the happy hormone and if no one else provides comfort for you that's a common choice for kids to fall back on. Then as an adult being told to drop it with no alternative? And then all the negative comments reinforcing your low self image. Its no wonder they blame everyone else, give up on themselves and claim the doctors aren't listening or helping.

What's difficult is that people say they aren't getting core issues treated (which is completely fair), but those core issues are hard to find when so many negative symptoms are often directly tied to obesity. You can't just take a patient on their word, unfortunately. There has to be hard evidence to back up a diagnosis so a doctor can justify treating it and doesn't potentially get in legal trouble in the future. Losing weight may help treat the symptoms and, if it doesn't, a doctor has better grounds to give other treatments. It definitely suck, because it's hard to lose weight while one is suffering, but this is the world we live in.

You know there are Obesogenic medications right, it is a thing. Meaning meds that make you gain and make it impossible to lose weight. You do know Lipedema is a legit disease right. While she is fat and can lose some of the weight the Lipedema will not go away and she will never be a “normal” size. I cant stand the fat acceptance… but being formerly morbidly obese I empathize with them and those who struggle because its all a facade. None of them WANT to actually be obese, they give into it because its hard af to lose weight when your body is literally fighting you. Obesity is a legit disease as well. Its brain and metabolic dysfunction and the last form of discrimination that’s acceptable. Its scientifically proven that those with chronic obesity their bodies and brains do not function the same, yet people refuse to accept this because of fat bias and because it has to do with food and they keep thinking the move more eat less works so easily for everyone like every obese person hasnt tried that. Thats why the newer glp medications help so much, they help regulate hormones and help fix metabolic dysregulation while you put in the work. Obesity is a complex and multifaceted disease and I wish people would educate themselves on it. No one wants to be obese, many just give into it because they feel there is no hope. Trust me all these fat activists are putting on a facade, even Tess Holiday, they just need to get the proper help and put in the fucking work and not give up. Its hard af and we will have to fight the weight and the set point for the rest of our lives, but its not impossible.

18:56 Doctors and other providers get understandably apprehensive when a 500 lb person walks in their door for several reasons… because getting to 500 lbs generally indicates an addiction to food and the accompanying denial/mental gymnastics (as demonstrated by Jordan), the weight presents a VASTLY higher risk of bad outcomes, and there are likely a whole bunch of comorbidities to treat/take into account. Also, specialized equipment is needed (scales, blood pressure cuffs, chairs, beds, wheelchairs, imaging equipment, etc). All of these are valid issues for medical providers.

Losing weight can lessen or even completely reverse some issues.

I’m 2 minutes in and she already said doctors were wrong and she was right because of her own opinions of health and her body. at that point I just have to stop listening side note: a pet peeve is when people say they’re “trying” or “on track” and then you watch Amberlynn and “on track” means you’re just merely thinking about getting better but not taking the steps at all. I don’t believe she was actually taking the necessary steps or eating the rights foods and still gained 150lbs. and then when she reached out the doctors, they tell her why and she ignores them because they didn’t tell her what she wants to hear, which is that she has some sort of rare condition and the gain is not her fault. I can’t.

I know someone who got really into Jordan Underwood and Maintenance Phase and they have at least doubled their body weight over the last three years. Their weight gain has accelerated over the last year. I am fat and I used to feel insecure standing next to them because they were half my size. Now they are bigger than me. It scares me how fast they have gained that amount of weight. My weight gain has been slow but steady my whole life (now losing weight and down 30lbs in 4 months!). It took me 20 years to get this big. they did it in 3. I really believe that Jordan Underwood and fat activism has influenced them and that they would not be gaining weight so rapidly without that influence. Gaining weight that fast is detrimental to your health and so hard to come back from.

Agreed. I also don't think you can suddenly gain 150lbs suddenly as lipeodema. Lipeodema seems to happen in periods of serious hormonal change, so puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. I know viceral fat does produce oestrogen, so gaining a certain amount of weight could potentially lead to lipoedema worsening, but 150lbs sounds a bit iffy - maybe if they developed lymphoedema along with it (because I don't doubt that they have lipoedema) then I can see both that massive weight gain and then quickly being able to shift it off with treatment being likely. I have signs that I have lipoedema though I'm not diagnosed, probably stage 1 or 2ish, got the painful legs, easy bruising, hypermobility of a few joints, realatively smaller upper body, looks like a genetic history etc, and I know, that it felt like I reach puberty and my legs doubled in size, but weight gain beyond that like you said, has been slow and gradual (3-5kg (6.6-11lbs) a year). And then when I have lost weight, either as a consequence of a lifestyles change or deliberately trying, I am perfectly capable of doing so (down 30+kgs (66lbs)). It doesn't move off my legs easily, but it does somewhat. And lipoedema really sucks, you reach one of those life periods, you quickly gain that relatively large amount of fat without lifestyle change on (mostly) your legs, and you get all that stigma and bullying which can wreck your self image (making you a perfect victim for HAES)- but FA people seem defeatist about it, saying it means you can't lose weight and you have no control over gaining it. And that's just not true, for most people with lipoedema they can prevent it from worsening by managing their diet - and you should want to prevent it from worsening because it will disable you. And now since lipoedema is becoming more recognised, we need to stop this narrative that if you have it, you're going to gain weight so you might as well just let it happen, and hopefully there will be more research into treatment especially for those people who do very quickly progress to stage 4 without gaining that viceral and stomach fat (which would suggest weight gain beyond that), I think there's one woman who exercises on tik tok with stage 4 and her upper body is tiny, but most of these obese people with stage 4 probably could've stopped it progressing taht far in the first place. ... I don't know about this EDS only showing up at 12 and not having had much effect especially as they've gotten larger. I guess if they've had the right tests, it's probably true, but they've gotten incredibly lucky not to be disabled from it at this size.

As someone with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome in the process of losing 20 lbs of post-op overweight I gained, plus an additional 20 lbs in order to minimize pressure on my knees and ankles, I cannot imagine how my body would feel at 500+ lbs. My highest weight was 172 lbs and I was so much more pain than when I was 130 lbs. But even though my exercise is limited, I've been losing 1-2 lbs a week with consistent PT, low-impact movement, counting calories, and cutting out added sugar. I can't change the fact that I have hEDS, but I can control what I do about it.

I am always trying to be alert to my activity lvls and food because some days I can't really get out of bed so I have to be aware of that. I definitely think we need a more open approach in the medical system because seeing someone overweight and immediately assuming that is the only problem they have is dangerous and flawed. However, people also need to understand that they do have some control over their health and there isn't always a medical solution that explains everything either. Sometimes it's just bad eating or exercise habits and that's okay but don't pretend it's all out of your hands.

After i ate nearly a killogram of chocolate and only stoped because i ran out of it one day, i was justnhorryfied and stoped,because that was worse than the depressions. I refused to take those pills again, even if my doctor reccomanded to try it longer, but i was already in rhe higher end of healthy weight. I had so many doctors try to vonvince me, that weight gain was "the lesser evil". And i have met a lot of people, who gained 30 to 50kg on those pills.

I interpret their dislike for weight loss drugs or surgeries as a fear of realizing that they have agency; the mantra seems to be that weight is totally out of their control, meaning no one can judge them for it, but admitting that a calorie deficit actually works takes away their defense of "it's all out of our control". Imagine someone with anorexia saying that they're not losing weight because they don't eat enough and that there's nothing they can do about it; would the FA's agree and say that it's perfectly normal and healthy?

I think there’s reason to be wary of weight loss drugs because they are very new and we don’t know everything about them yet. But at the end of the day losing the weight is more important for their health than whatever side effects result from the medication. I also think people misunderstand obesity. Food is an addiction and it’s difficult to tell an addict they need to stop using or that they need to go to rehab. Usually the person needs to acknowledge and accept that themselves. And I think that’s what you’re seeing here. They have not accepted they have a problem yet. Denial is strong in any kind of addict.

Doctors don't just hesitate to do surgery on people Jordan's size because it might be a little bit risky. It is extremely risky. Class 3 obesity patients have much higher postoperative infection rates, poor wound healing, and more anesthesia complications. Often their bodies just cannot tolerate the effects of anesthesia or bodily manipulation due to the massive amount of weight on their chests if in reverse trendelenburg (with your head lower than your feet). Not to mention, it is physically harder to do surgery with that much tissue between the surgical site and the surgeon. Your intestines/reproductive organs stay the same size whether you have 10lbs abdominal fat or 250lbs abdominal fat.

What does she think EDS is? I have it. It doesn't cause weight gain. It means that you are hyper-flexible and your joints deteriorate quickly. People claim other things are related to it, but that's what the condition is. If you have the vascular type, your arteries can also tear open. Weight gain isn't a symptom. Pain is. Keeping my weight down has been very helpful in controlling my EDS. If your joints tear easily, putting less stress on them is a priority. When I realized I wouldn't be able to do intense physical activity anymore, I decreased my calorie intake. It sucks, but it is absolutely doable. Being able to walk is a higher priority to me than ice cream, and you have no idea how much I love ice cream. What do you want the most? It sucks that some of us have to make choices that other people don't, but that's life. It's not fair.

People always complain about the side effects of WL drugs, no concern with the side effects of being obese. If a WL drug said a side effect was possible heart attack people would shit themselves yet being obese gives you that side effect plus many more. Leading cause of death in America is complications of obesity. People are like no it’s heart disease, stroke etc yes…..these are complications of obesity.

Chronic illness makes it rly easy to gain weight. I have had eosinophilic asthma since birth and I spent like half of my childhood laid up and unable to walk without having an asthma attack. Steroids also make me ravenous. It has been a lifelong battle to keep to a semi-reasonable weight. My highest was at my sickest which was 227. Im down to 198. i have to acknowledge my specific challenges or I could die, but it is still MY responsible to do what I can. This is the body I got. I have to keep it functioning best I can. When I eat too much and gain, its still my fault. I try to give myself some grace and keep on keepin on. Its called being an adult

I don't mind the obesity discussion being political instead of focusing on individuals. If the discussion only focuses in blaming individuals for not being accountable of their own health, that absolves the food industry that intentionally raises mono culture plants and feeds us cheap crappy food that makes us sick. It's easier to be disguested by they than think that a common burger bun has over 1 ounce of sugar.

Now that I've been looking through historical medical data for my program so much, I will say that BMI is a really easy way to make an assessment about a population from decade to decade. We shouldn't be using it with patients, but just collecting the data (and making sure we get it from everyone in every demographic) is extremely uaeful for health and medical science.
@gleebybooer
Ай бұрын
@@JoeyKlu Thank you! I am also in a nutrition program (Health and Wellness concentration) and his part at 13:55 was definitely off. BMI has very specific uses (often used as a casual/rule of thumb metric because its just an equation you can do at home) and the downsides/gaps in it as a metric were explained to us in like 4 separate classes. People act like the BMI scale is some collective delusion the medical community holds lnto when in reality the amount of individuals that BMI does not account for are far less than what the internet would believe you to be. It should be visually obvious if the BMI scale does not apply to an individual (such as a very muscular individual with a higher weight but with lack of adipose tissue).
@InaStanley83
Ай бұрын
@@gleebybooertrue, but the issue is that many health professionals will still use BMI as an indicator of health even in individuals for whom using that metric doesn't make sense. I'm also concerned that some health professionals use BMI as a way to not treat patients with the individuality every patient deserves. Here's a personal example. For my height, I *should* be around 120 lbs - 125 lbs to be within my "appropriate" BMI range. A year or so after going to college, after having that drilled into my head by my doctor and others, I worked to get down to that weight. I was also a little "heavy" as a kid, but by my teen years some of that was obviously and noticeably muscle. You could SEE the muscle definition. I was very active (took multiple dance classes including ballet, African dance and Modern dance for several years, played basketball every chance I got, and literally walked everywhere because I didn't have a car or endless funds for cabs and hated public transportation). At the point where I looked and felt the healthiest and strongest and had the best stamina, I was about 147 lbs, but that was considered overweight. So I started walking for longer periods, cutting calories etc. to lose the weight. When I got down to 135 lbs, I felt the worst I'd ever felt in my own body. My strength and stamina suffered. I felt almost like my bones were rubbing together. When my dad first saw me at that weight, he thought I was either sick or on drugs...and that was with me still not being at the goal weight yet. I made the decision then to stop listening to my PCP. I felt myself spiralling into disordered eating (which I hadn't had an issue with before then) trying to reach a weight that didn't even feel normal or natural for my body. I started eating more normally and I cut back a bit on the amount of exercise I was doing. I started focusing on building muscle again. By the time I reached 145 I was feeling MUCH better. My strength and stamina were back. Moving my body felt normal again. I didn't look sickly. Not saying all or even most of the weight was lean muscle mass, but there was definitely enough muscle to affect my body comp (again, you could SEE it). That kind of confirmed for me that my body likes to be around 145 lbs with a decent amount of that weight being muscle. That's where I look, feel, and perform best. But to this day I have not met a PCP that will acknowledge that. I've had to shift over to working with a Functional Medicine doc that offers body comp scans in addition to the other typical metrics to ensure I get a more personalized approach to my healthcare. BMI does have its uses but I'm just concerned that too many PCPs still rely on it almost exclusively when discussing weight. And unfortunately not every patient will know what other scans and tests to ask for or seek out to get the more personalized info they need to make informed decisions about diet and health.

@@InaStanley83 Thanks for the reply - First off I am glad you are at a place where you feel good in your personal health journey and the strides you made to accomplish that are awesome. I really disagree with the thought that “doctors use bmi as a way to not treat patients individually” I think you are putting malice onto people’s intentions when it isn’t there. The medical system is completely overloaded and you simply can’t afford to run every single test on every person - there’s bound to be mistakes, which is why we use BMI in relation to populations and merely a rule of thumb in the context of individuals. In my personal experience, I often find my doctors, as professionals, know the limitations of the measurements they use. Body composition is one of the pitfalls of BMI I mentioned in my other comments on this vid, and most practitioners are aware of that. I am glad you are feeling healthy, but I really don’t think that doctors are completely uninterested in their patients or don’t care about them as individuals, I think it’s easy to get that perception if you have a bad experience - but I think the truth is most doctors are overworked and stressed in our overloaded system, and it’s only going to get worse since no one wants to be a doctor nowadays.
@gleebybooer
Ай бұрын
in addition, part of the reason you may have felt poorly is how you lost the weight and the changes you made to lose the weight - it may be the case for you personally but it’s very unlikely in most people that a 10 lb different (135-145) would make them go from “bones scraping together” to completely healthy- you may want to see if you have any other health issues as well.

Yes, to be diagnosed with hEDS, they would be held to the Beighton Scale test. This tests your hypermobility. You also need a family history. I was diagnosed in 2019 when I was 29 by a geneticist. It wasn't easy to prove because it's not an easy subcategory of EDS to diagnose. I cannot believe they are going to hide behind this, of all conditions. It's not directly correlated with weight gain and in fact, more weight on the joints will be much worse for the instability.
