Chicken and Vegetable Plate ੈ✩‧₊˚

100g chicken breast (108)

20g corn (18)

1-2 tbsp hot sauce (11)

60g broccoli (20)

60g cauliflower (15)

Total calories = 172

.

.

.

--- Volume eating is such a savior omgggsss,,, it makes meals so much more satisfying !! ♡

For the chicken, season with salt and pepper, grease a pan with cooking spray (optional tbh) and bake at 200°C for 15 minutes or until it's cooked all the way through. I buy frozen corn so I defrosted it in the microwave and tossed it together with the chicken. Add any sauce you'd like (Sriracha, Nandos etc) and it's done ! I added sesame seeds just to make it look pretty ^-^

For the vegetables, chop up or break apart broccoli and cauliflower and steam it for 10 to 15 minutes. Add salt and black pepper on top! ₊˚⊹

This was filling and I absolutely love how quick it was to make ! If you'd like to make it more satisfying, add a base of rice <3

Helloooo and thank you to everyone who followed me recently,,, I really appreciate all the love ^-^ !! Please make sure to drink water and eat something today! You are all so very precious and I would truly bake you cookies just to make you smile ! ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა

Some good news! The AMA is getting on the right side of some important stuff this week:

I’m the first to bring out snide, “gender affirming care is GOOD?!?????” And “the BMI is racist, fatphobic junk science?!???? CALL THE PRESSES!!!!” comments but I’m taking a sec to acknowledge this is actually really, really good.

The AMA is the largest professional association of medical physicians and carries enormous sway and power. We need them to move the needle on this shit, even if it is frustrating they feel years behind.

Did you hear about the new healthcare and insurance guildlines that are supposed to replace BMI? Basically instead doctors are encouraged to "evaluate weight-related risks" by: Body Fat percentage, waist circumference, "measurements of visceral fat", body composition, genetic and metabolic factors, and in some cases bone density test. So now in order for doctors to tell us all our problems are because we're fat, we'll have to pay thousands more dollars in testing first.

My wife is a doctor and has told me many stories about the corruption, money-grubbing behavior, laziness, and outright incompetence among her fellow doctors. "All they need," she said, "is some sort of plausible deniability to treat their patients poorly."

Unfortunately, it is acceptable in the medical profession to blame everything on a patient's weight and effectively refuse care or provide a lower standard of care to fat people. Instead of treating with a high quality of care on the first visit, spend five minutes haranguing the patient about weight, sign them up for a barrage of tests, require they lose X lbs, then schedule another visit (with another consult fee) in Y months to "follow up" (that is, kick the can down the road again).

I just read my wife your submission. She said, "Money-grubbing lazy doctors dislike BMI because it's too simple to measure. But stuff like bone density requires consulting with a radiologist. And for doctors, referring every fat person to radiology is a nice kickback to your radiologist friend."

Everyone, but fat people in particular, should treat doctors with an abundance of skepticism and caution. Practice demanding care before pointless tests and behavioral interventions. Refuse getting your blood sugar tested for the umpteenth time if you're weight stable. My wife wants to add to this: Remind doctors that respect is not freely given, but earned.

Some of you have probably seen me write about issues with my weight and general body image before. It's something I've gotten a lot better at but there's still days when I feel like shite. Part of the problem with being a young athlete and then putting on weight as you get older is the complete misalignment of what your "ideal" weight should be. And one of the things that really pulled me out feeling really shite was just how fucking laughably wrong BMI can be. Like I think it's pretty common knowledge that BMI is utter dogshit, but in case any of you don't know that - BMI is such utter fucking nonsense that I find it hard to respect anyone who takes it seriously. Going off my BMI - My "standard healthy weight" is 53.5kg to 69kg. I weighed 69kg when I was 16 years old. If I was to weigh anywhere in that range just now I would look critically ill. I have naturally broad shoulders, big legs and a big arse. If I was aiming for what BMI deems a healthy weight I would look unbelievably silly.

(5) Large study shows high BMI not associated with serious top-surgery complications

A group of researchers at Johns Hopkins published a study on November 1 (Hassan et al, Association of High Body Mass Index With Postoperative Complications After Chest Masculinization Surgery) that looks at complication rates in transgender and nonbinary patients undergoing chest masculinization surgery (often called top surgery).

The conclusion was that “Chest masculinization surgery [CMS] remains a safe option for TGNB patients and may be safe to perform in patients with higher BMI.

[Uma thread informativa a todos! <3]

𝕄𝕒𝕔𝕣𝕠𝕤 𝕖 𝕄ú𝕤𝕔𝕦𝕝𝕠𝕤💪🏻

[A] Carboidratos:

Principal combustível utilizado pelo corpo como fonte de energia. É ele que vai te fazer aguentar correr, respirar, treinar e etc.

Ele pode ser divididos em dois tipos: carboidratos simples e carboidratos complexos.

— Carboidratos Simples:

São digeridos de forma rápida, produz a sensação de fome com facilidade. Elevam o índice glicemico (famoso pico de energia).

Exemplos = qualquer fast food, açúcares, doces em geral, bolos, massas, etc.

— Carboidrato Complexo:

São absorvidos mais lentamente, promovem sensação maior de saciedade, ajuda o organismo a processar melhor as vitaminas e proteínas. Ricos em nutrientes.

Exemplos = batata doce, arroz integral, vegetais em geral, aveia, feijões, ervilhas, lentilhas, etc.

[B] Proteínas:

Repõe a energia que foi gasta, aumenta e reconstrói o tecido muscular.

Proteína após o treino sempre! Quando você treina, seus músculos ficam "machucados" pelas contrações, a proteína ajudar a "sarar" o seu corpinho pós treino.

Mas, lembrem-se: nem toda proteína é limpa!

A proteína será considerada "suja": quando vier acompanhada de muito sódio e gordura saturada. Evite a proteína que vem de embutidos!

Exemplos: salsichas, nuggets, carnes fritas, e etc.

— Proteína limpa: peito de frango, atum, tilapia, soja, ovo, grão de bico e etc.

[C] Gorduras:

Fonte importante de energia (dá um gás para a contração muscular), promovem saciedade, produção de ácido biliar (essencial na digestão), ajuda na produção de hormônios.

Evitem passar de 15g de gordura saturada por dia, pois, assim como o carboidrato, nem toda gordura é boa!

— Gorduras limpas: oleaginosas, ovo, peixes, abacate, coco, chocolate amargo e etc.

— Gorduras saturadas: todas as porcarias que você imaginar ☠️ manteiga, miojo, salsicha, pastel, nutella, sorvetes e etc.

-----------------------------------------------

• O que leva a perda de músculos?

Simples, dietas altamente restritivas e o porquê disso é simples:

Poucas proteínas provocam perda de massa muscular!!

Como expliquei antes, é a proteína que ajuda na construção e manutenção dos músculos, logo, a falta de proteína reflete diretamente na perca dos mesmos!

Aliás, a restrição total de carboidratos também contribuem pra essa perda!!

Mesmo que o carboidrato não ajude no tecido muscular, ele é a principal fonte de energia do corpo, logo, se você consome pouco ou nada, o corpo vai buscar energia em outras fontes, consequentemente queimará músculo.

-----------------------------------------------

• Já respondendo uma outra pergunta que muitos fazem: Academia não vai te fazer crescer!!

É simplesmente IMPOSSÍVEL ganhar músculo com você fazendo alta restrição.

Você vai no máximo desmaiar por não comer carboidratos suficiente e não ter energia pra terminar uma sequência de exercícios!!

• E respondendo a mesma pergunta só que ao contrário: Você não vai hipertrofiar (ganhar músculo) comendo tão pouco!!

Multiplica seu peso por 1,6-2g e o total é a quantidade de proteína, em gramas, que você tem que consumir por dia pra ter PELO MENOS uma definição.

Pra ganhar músculo mesmo (hipertrofiar) é de 1,8-2,4g de proteína por quilo. Tem que comer a mais que a TMB e fazer musculação. Faz o cálculo que com o resultado você verá o porquê eu digo que é impossível ganhar músculo comendo 500 kcal!!

Scientific articles and official health websites talk about lactose intolerance the same way they talk about fatness.

This is how the National Institutes of Health describes it: "Lactose intolerance is a clinical syndrome that manifests with characteristic signs and symptoms upon consuming food substances containing lactose, a disaccharide." "Lactose intolerance is a common disease; however, it is rare in children younger than 5. It is most often seen in adolescents and young adults."

It's a syndrome. A disease. A medical problem with symptoms and signs.

And then...

"On average, 65% of the world's population is lactose intolerant. The prevalence of lactose intolerance is variable among different ethnicities. It is most common in African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and Asians and least prevalent in people of European descent."

Wait wait wait, hold up. It's in 65% of the world population??? 65% of all humans are lactose intolerant??? 65% of the world is diseased and has such a serious health condition?

Then you start learning more about it outside of these medical articles and organizations. You learn that other animals can't digest lactose past infancy either. Not even cats, even though we all believe they love milk. Animals, including humans, have a special enzyme as infants that allows babies to drink breastmilk. And after a child stops drinking that milk, the enzyme goes away, leaving the child unable to digest milk anymore.

In the 300,000 years that humans have existed, drinking milk past infancy did not start happening until about 10,000 years ago. It wasn't until ancient populations in Europe who were pastoralists, and thus raised cows as livestock, forced their bodies to drink milk and caused it to slowly became a genetic mutation that spread throughout different human populations over thousands of years.

You realize that the ability to drink lactose is not the norm. It's not the default body at all. The ability to digest lactose is a human adaptation that only some humans have, like missing wisdom teeth, blue eyes, and red hair. Lactose intolerance isn't abnormal. It's what human bodies were designed to do in the first place! No wonder it's "rare in children younger than 5." That's when babies still have the ability to drink breastmilk!

And what does such a serious disease as lactose intolerance require?

Not consuming dairy.

That's it.

This "disease" requires avoiding lactose and taking a pill to help you digest it if you need to in a given situation. And if you don't? The awful consequence of this disease is DEATH—oh, wait, that was a typo. I meant diarrhea. Dairy products like butter and some cheese have very low levels of lactose compared to straight up milk and can sometimes even be eaten without any pills for lactose intolerance at all.

So then why do health organizations and scientific articles consider this a "disease" when it's just genetic diversity? Well, you were already given the answer.

The people most able to digest lactose? White people. Europe. America. Canada. Australia. Groups so often considered the default. The quotes I gave are from the American government itself, as described by the organization's website: "Founded in 1887, the National Institutes of Health today is one of the world's foremost medical research centers, and the Federal focal point for medical research in the United States. The NIH, comprising 27 separate Institutes and Centers, is one of eight health agencies of the Public Health Service which, in turn, is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services."

It's also important to recognize that the US government extremely subsidizes dairy. There are underground caves of billions of pounds of cheese surplus that the government has stockpiled. Billions upon billions of dollars have been spent on keeping the dairy industry afloat, no pun intended, to the point that everything from those "Got milk?" advertisements to milk in school-provided lunches to Taco Bell's double steak quesadillas were funded by federal tax dollars put into some cheesy goodness propaganda. Federal tax dollars were even used after the 2010 recession to bail out Domino's and keep the cheese uh-flowing.

So in a country where most people can digest lactose, most of the people who can't do so have bodies that are not viewed as the default already, and the government is extremely invested in getting people to eat dairy products, it becomes clear why that country—that government—believes lactose intolerance to be a disease.

Then when you consider:

how fat people are not viewed as the default body either and face immense oppression

how the facts of fatness being incredibly genetic and intentional weight loss not being sustainable in the slightest are kept under the radar from the public

how weight is not actually equal to health when you take all context into account beyond stereotypes and studies with horrendous methodology

how the BMI was created by a statistician (who was never a doctor in the first place and whose work was later used to support eugenics) during the 1800s in order to figure out which body was the average, not the healthiest, in select populations of white European men in the 19th century (and thus which body was the "default," the "norm," superior)

how the population measuring tool that is the BMI, never meant or designed to be used on an individual scale, was not commonly used as a measurement of "health" until insurance companies wanted a way to fabricate reasons for charging people more money

how the weight loss industry makes hundreds of billions of dollars every year off of pretending fatness is inherently bad and selling a "cure" that doesn't work while blaming consumer error to keep people buying said "cure"

and how creating a weight-based social hierarchy benefits the people on top who have power over the rest

...you start to understand why fatness is medicalized.

It's even a common talking point of people and companies obsessed with dieting that humans have evolved to hold onto fat and refuse to lose it in case of potential starvation. In fact, facing starvation even changes your body to want to hold onto body fat even more than it did previously, which includes when you diet since dieting is just self-inflicted starvation. When you face starvation, your descendants are more likely to have genetics that prefer fatness too. And there's evidence of fatness in human populations going back tens of thousands of years despite diet culture wanting people to believe fatness is a new trend due to people's "lifestyle choices." The Venus of Willendorf, an ancient figurine of a fat woman, is estimated to have been created around 30,000 years ago, and there are numerous other Venus figurines of fat women from that era too.

It's human diversity, but people who aren't fat and who pedal diet culture can make so much money and obtain such powerful positions by pretending fatness is abnormal, inhuman, and wrong. Why give up an easy money-making punching bag or admit that your body is not the only "correct" human body when you have no reason not to and so many incentives for keeping the status quo?

As a side note, one of the best examples of diet culture is how you can find countless news articles about whether milk is "good" or "bad" for you despite humans having consumed milk for the past 10,000 years. I think by year one thousand we would have learned if milk was "bad" for us, but the headline "Milk still okay" doesn't get a news website any clicks.

It's actually really messed up of the AAP to issue such a controversial guideline when almost half of the family physicians and pediatricians participating in an American study stated that they would never refer an obese adolescent for bariatric surgery. This is a really informative thread on the medical ethics issues with severe obesity interventions that I just felt a little soapboxy on.

The drug that was referenced in the CBS article, Wegovy, also doesn't reduce pounds past 5% of your total weight about 22% of the time. You regain nearly all the weight you lost when you go off it, so you kind of have to be on it indefinitely if you want to stay that size.

There's even a petition on the AAP guideline that was made recently following the announcement.

In all seriousness to the thread, it's really messed up the American Academy of Pediatrics is recommending a drug that costs $1350/mo. without insurance to youth struggling with obesity.

So I did a bit of a research rabbit hole to see the medication Wegovy that was being mentioned in the article as this sort of near cure-all in other articles. It's not even an obesity drug, it was a diabetes medication that is now also being used to treat severe obesity thanks to new findings.

There's just so many issues, and at a time when 1 in 5 American youths are obese, this couldn't have come at a worse time!
