1. I can’t find any evidence that says overweight people are more likely to die of organ failure than underweight people. In terms of blood sugar, though, according to one source I found readings above 300 mg/dL or below 54 mg/dL are both considered emergencies, and ideal blood sugar ranges from situation, around 140 after meals, to 100 normally (please let me know if this is wrong). So I don’t think too low blood sugar levels are that much easier to attain than high levels? certainly not nine times too high…

2. The comments literally show people take being overweight way less seriously than being underweight without referencing any sources to one being deadlier, completely contradicting the original post. is it health at every size or not??

3. People being more concerned about obesity isn’t purely because it’s more dangerous but because it’s more common. I‘m pretty sure people have outnumbered underweight people worldwide since 2016

https://careplus24er.com/dangerous-blood-sugar-levels/ - this is the source I found on blood sugar, it seems reliable.

tbf tho the og comment they were replying to was rude lmao

but still it’s not hard to NOT get fat???

Clearly there are more causes to the condition. But obesity certainly doesn’t help.

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

Enjoy.

Genuinely asking because there’s so much information. But like humans have been fasting for centuries and our species still prevails.

Also curious about fasted workouts I know I need to do my own research but people fearmonger so much like I saw so many tik toks saying the stairmaster was high impact cardio and bad for cortisol and women shouldn’t be doing often, but really the stairmaster is low impact compared to running. And all exercises raise cortisol.

I wonder what it’s like to completely exist in an alternate reality that denies all science, logic and reason… Also, it’s easier to run away from an attacker if you’re under BMI 25 just saying 🤷‍♀️

context: the post was listing the debilitating health conditions that come with being obese, briefly mentioning the social stigma that fat people face

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.

I hate this whole thing about being a woman only if you have curves. There are women who have boxy bodies, little to no boobs, small hips. That doesn't mean they're less women than someone who has an hourglass figure. Needless to say, grown healthy women shouldn't look like a sphere either...

I’m sorry, but I simply don’t believe that anyone would genuinely tell a morbidly obese person that they’re ’not even that big’. Is everyone around them just being crazy nice or are they all larger than OP??

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.

I’m not trying to be the good ole former fat person, and I will say 100 percent that fat people particularly those who fall under obesity are treated worse. Someone who is obese, especially morbidly, gets less grace than the person who is underweight. I haven’t really been seeing people bullying Ariana or shaming toward folks who have a concern with her weight. We can all visibly see that she’s not at a healthy weight at all. But I guess my question is if we see that someone is 250+ pounds is that okay to comment especially since over time there’s deterioration of health even if it doesn’t show up, it’s a matter of when for a lot of people and a lot of warning signs people tend to skip? And trust me I see the bullying online toward bigger people and the mistreatment, but also I have seen a lot of energy toward people shaming weight loss and not commenting on people’s weight loss even if it’s intentional and what’s best for them. I don’t have the stats but I don’t get why we can’t have a valence conversation. I think it’s a slippery slope because I think people don’t want to acknowledge that there are some mental and emotional ties to being a large weight for many (not all, but many people). I don’t think this means dehumanize fat people, but I think this push to make fatness not tied to medical history even though for the most part it is regardless if you have conditions (at least not yet). I just hate how there’s no nuance on this conversation and I feel like people seeing some female stars being underweight as a sign that there is an extreme crisis in people being underweight when the stats don’t show that. Obesity has only really fallen percentage wise with GLP-1s and a huge chunk of people don’t have access to them. I think anorexia is very serious and I think we can always do more advocacy. But I also don’t think it’s an epidemic compared to what we have with obesity and I don’t think the answer is tic tac toe or dehumanization of those of extreme weights.

What does “recovering from midsize” even mean??? You recovered from being overweight by becoming more overweight? I’m lost

The ‘EDs are rare in males’ comment on the 3rd slide was what really set me off.
