The Body Positivity Debate
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 10. 2022
- Dr. Phil discusses the highly debated issue of whether or not the body positivity movement -- a belief system that embraces bodies of all shapes and sizes -- has gone too far. Since 2020, 36.5% of Americans have been considered overweight and 32.5% obese. Are we doing too much to celebrate the plus-sized? Not according to Lexi and her husband, Will, who say they’ve struggled with their body image their entire lives and have now found freedom in letting go of the need to control their weight and instead accepting themselves the way they are. Dr. Phil also meets CZcams personality John Glaude, who says he once believed in the body positivity movement until it almost killed him. Plus, Dr. Howard Liebowitz discusses the medical realities of being overweight, and nutritionist Kelsey Koehler offers tips to set practical goals for weight loss. (21015)

“People should love themselves, they should respect themselves, but they should not carry that into the science to where they’re denying the risk” he said it perfectly
Not only that, but if you love yourself, you’d take good care of yourself.
@@BeckBeckGo you're putting fat people into a box. Some have chronic health issues that cause weight gain, not CAUSED by weight gain
@@aviatrix7774 there are medical ways to fix that situation my cousin had the same issue he actually had to fixed medically
@@almercool5 I never say there wasn't. But it's not always that simple. Again let's not make generalizations. Not everyone can afford expensive procedures and often times there are no procedures to be done, depending on the ailment. Unfortunately the US healthcare system does not always allow for everyone to get the care they need. Such expenditures are seen as a luxury to those who can't afford it.
i read this comment the exact moment it was said in the video
"a study is a study" ah yes, fantastic. i went to my kitchen today and discovered that my floor was made of floor; i was shocked.
Yeah not the best choice of words
It’s like saying I can still smoke because I haven’t gotten cancer yet 🙄
exactly! my father smoked for almost 50 years and VERY luckily his lung scans came back all clear once he finally quit. but in no way did that give him motivation to start smoking again, if anything he felt like a miracle and should continue to not smoke so that he doesn’t risk his health anymore.
I hate that too. Like “my scans are fine”
Yes. But you’re taking a derivative of your health, while ignoring the accumulation of what will become the integral.
“I got punched in the face and suffered no brain damage!”
Cool. Do that all day every day for 10 years and then tell me your brain is fine, if you even can by then.
The idea is still loving yourself at every stage of your journey.
That lady went from smiling to glaring
What is the discussion here … being fat is a huge problem end of story episode over
Ok ... sigh. I am about 50 pounds overweight, which is due to me becoming pretty lazy these past two years with covid and stuff. I can attest to the fact that I feel more fatigued (even with good nights sleep), my knees hurt something fierce and my blood work as of late shows increased cholesterol and other crappy results. Yes, accept yourself and love yourself but do not think for one second that this conflates with "being fat doesn't cause health problems" B.S.! Being fat will do nothing but hurt you in many ways .... as I can show. Thankfully, I am working out and dieting and I am shedding good weight! Stay healthy people!
Well said. I could stand to lose around 20 pounds myself and can attest to much of what you said. I wish you well in your journey back to a healthier version of yourself. Stay strong.
keep going that’s amazing
Loving yourself no matter what doesn’t mean you think being fat is healthy! Nothing wrong with being body positive. I’m saying that as someone who is super skinny and has been super skinny my whole life. “Body positive” doesn’t mean you’re a moron and don’t know that obesity isn’t healthy. It means you know that you are ALWAYS valuable. You can lose weight because you value yourself, not in order to become valuable. If people want to love themselves then go ahead. We don’t need to twist their words and pretend they’re saying obesity is healthy or assume they’re morons. Just because they’re trying to perceive themselves as valuable.
We treat people who are over weight like they have no worth. We wouldn’t treat someone with cancer the same way that we treat someone who is overweight. We love people with cancer and tell them they’re beautiful even if they lost their hair. But if you’re over weight we say “you can’t be positive about your body. Fat isn’t beautiful it’s unhealthy.”
She literally said morbidly obese people are more likely to survive a heart attack. She was literally saying obesity is healthier than being fit.
thank you!! omg i made a similar point and waaayyy too many ppl came for me lmao
@@SS-jt4qi timestamp?
@@eliciagarcia3601 that is absolutely right because cancer happens to many people out of the blue, being overweight is just a lack off self control its ok to be overweight but its not ok to be overweight and think that its not affecting your health in many ways
I don't care if you're fat unless we're on an airplane.
Really
That's why everyone should embrace going to the gym 🏋️♂️ 💪🏽! Gym is self love
I wanna get a membership but im 14 😭
@@KVMGReal no membership needed just do some push ups and running 💪🏽
It's an antidepressant for me! (Along with my actual medication of course - but it definitely boosts my endorphins!)
Nah. Find something you love instead. I hate gym, weight lifting all that, but I'm a avid ballet dancer, and go to class every week. I burn around 300 in each class, and it doesn't feel like something I have to do cause I enjoy it so much. Find something you'll love, and you'll stick with it.
@@elmore707 Become like Gigachad and Dr. Livesey
She got completely destroyed man I pray for her mind set
why are they so offended by the truth/// being obese will never be a healthy choice ! you can decide to stay obese but dont tell people its healthy cuz its not
Her boyfriend is spineless won't say anything she doesn't agree with. I could only imagine how much BS he puts up with from her.
The truth is a bitter pill to swallow
Maybe I'm wrong. Yet I know I am compassionate. I was told by my father that I was "fat" for many years---the most I've ever weighed is 135 pounds and that was the day before I gave birth to my son. The emotional trauma of being "fat," whether true or not, is very real. I'm now body positive because of years of work. Thanks to my own work after countless useless diets, etc, I feel good about my body. I'm old and didn't have the enormous amount of information available now. There's a lot of pain in all of our lives' journeys and we all choose our own paths. I don't see this as a conflict:. We now ALL have access to information so that we can make choices. Science shows, and--god forfend--insurance companies know that obesity is cost prohibitive but people have freedom to do as they wish. I have thin friends and over weight friends. It's not an issue. It is an individual issue, of course, solvable only by an individual's choice
You’re nuts, being obese isn’t good no matter how you spin it, being called fat shouldn’t mess you up this much
Th fact is far people are more likely to have complications. There’s nothing offensive about it. During covid everyone was claiming they wore masks to protect their and other peoples health yet those same people won’t tell their fat friends to lose weight
And many people who were overweight passed away from covid as a result of their weak immune system. Should've lay low on that fried chicken
Her "man" is the woman, sad. 😔
Full episode please?
Love watching obese to beast . sit there staring at the floor 😂
BMI is the worst indicator of General physical preparedness for example most contact sport athletes are morbidly obese but continue to perform at an elite level of athleticism.
General population ain't no damn NFL players. BMI is a solid general guideline, and this dumb athlete deflection is tired asl. When you look at the people the US, you see mostly obese people who are carrying excess visceral fat. Sit down.
Only people who complain about BMI are the people with crappy BMIs
@@savysteve123 true my bmi is morbidly obese but my body fat is 19% which is in the healthy spectrum. Again the bmi fails to take into account the density of increased muscle mass to which my body composition registers 42.8%. There are other factors where bmi fails such as bone density. For example Polynesian genetics dictate thicker and stronger structural integrity probably due to the fact that there ancestors were of a stronger athletic nature through natural selection.
@@nathanmcfall1022 nobody's skeleton is inherently obese lmao your logic is wild
Elite level athletes with morbidly obese BMIs are still not healthy they are too heavy it doesnt matter wether its muscle or fat. Thats why so many pro bodybuilders die of strokes. ( its also because they take insanes amounts of steroids) Also taking elite level athletes as an example doesnt make any sense since thats a very small minority of people. For most average People BMI is pretty good indicator.
I mean she really has a pretty face. It might not be healthy, but all fat people should be treated with dignity and respect.
Saying middle age white men in a negative connotation is not respectful. You give respect and you'll get respect. I don't have to respect a rude, nasty attitude narcissist.
Will spent that moment kiss butt to try to get them to agree with him and put down the education system etc It was fully deflecting, defensive and arrogant.
Please do a follow up every year on these two. I think they will get worse.
My plantar facitis has completely gone away post 120lbs down
did dude really say that weight discrimination leads to things like heart disease and diabetes? did I hear that right?
I'm not trying to be rude but he should have asked that lady and that guy that lost the weight to both walk to one side of the room and then back and see who's out of breath
Honestly...If you want to be/stay fat, go ahead idc.
Being over weight is not ok. You can love yourself and still want to be better
That is literally the point of body positivity
In better health and just better are different things
Being overweight is not okay? Go worry about yourself. Come back when you actually care about those who are struggling
@@DreamDear I do. That's why I'm telling the truth. If I didn't care I'd be like the rest of you and tell you it's fine. If you truly care about someone you'd tell them the truth about themselves so they can be self aware and fix it. And not lie to them just to avoid hurting their feelings.
@@DreamDear It’s also a struggle to watch your weight. And diet.
Young people manage being overweight. That is the thing she doesn't seem to understand. Older fat people definitely deteriorate much quicker.
I see a lot of overweight mother/daughter duos, and the mom is never moving quite like they daughter is able to... like how does daughter not see her mother and get a clue to lose a few pounds...
They need to stop with the victim mentality of marginalization and blah blah blah like shut up
Sure a study is not significant to that trans-guy but a meta-analysis in the health literatures provides better set of information verses this person's opinion
Dr Phil with glasses on 🤣
Blabbering about body positivity and then saying 'middle aged white man' in a derogatory manner. This is why I don't believe these people. They preach love but spit out hate. Its repulsive
Thank you!!!
I hate their victim food
i feel this is all very important information, but given recent history should always be given with a grain of salt. almost everyone does things that are unhealthy. almost everyone makes choices that shortens their lives, and it’s up to everyone individually if they want to change that. i think it should be said this woman is still absolutely beautiful, as with any woman who is clinically obese. it’s such a sensitive topic, i feel the harder facts should always be given with a little more support and understanding that she’s still beautiful and she can do as she pleases, these are just the risks.
You have a strange definition of beautiful.
Beauty is subjective, that's why the best way to test how beautiful someone is the opinion of other. Not one or two people but large amounts. So it's fine to tell yourself that your are beautiful but do not expect others to support that ideal. As someone who used to be morbidly obese it was all on me to make a change, so I agree with you there. At the same time though only women are told they're beautiful no matter what, I guess if I were a woman I'd buy into that as well 🤷🏿♂️
Beautiful loool I think you guys are the worst telling people it’s ok to be like this. When she dies 10 years premature Ittl be on your guys hands
Katie when you are told you are beautiful, you react differently depending on who is telling you this information...
Did you just say any woman who is obese is beautiful? LMAO
I am lazy and you have to help me to be that way.. that's all thay saying
I dont care if you are fat or not, but if you are morbidly obese (like I currently am) you are not healthy.
...SO...is that last dude trying to say that if there was no discrimination to cause them stress related risks then obese people wouldn't have health risks?
Because from what I understand not only do they have the health risks that come discrimination(aka stress) but also the extra health risks that come being obese...
Body possitivity was never about fat people, it was supposed to be for those that due to genetic birth defects or accident/surgery related injuries or scars had their body malformed in some way...
Not knowing when to put the fork down is not such an accident...
I am all for body possitivity but glorifying extreme unhealthy eating habits and will never be acceptable in my book.
Im obese and i have never been bullied so i don't see why anyone would pretend they are discriminated
honnetement elle a juste lair dans le denis total. C'est vrmnt triste.
Fast food shortens your life
This season is so boring
I think it’s rather irresponsible to have a nutritionist speaking about “the science” of inflammation and “data” when the field is unregulated in most countries. A dietician or true health professional would have been better. Also I think she missed a lot about the difference between causation and correlation. For example, there are many diseases that actually make weight loss difficult or actually cause weight gain. PCOS for example (which I have) or hypothyroidism to name a few. I think the point should be made that sometimes it’s not as simple as “being obese causes health issues” sometimes the health issues can cause the weight gain.
Which health issues directly cause a person to become fat? There are several which can hinder mobility or increase hunger but nothing stops your body from burning calories. You'd have to be dead for that to happen.
@@xenondoro8573 thats simply not true. There are many diseases that alter your bodies ability to burn calories, not just “hindering mobility or increasing hunger”. Like I mentioned…..diseases like PCOS and Hypothyroidism slow your metabolism. Someone with these diseases could eat the exact same as someone without and still gain weight while their counterpart stays neutral.
@@kaleighkiwixoxo None of those cause people to become fat or stop burning calories. Like you said, they might slow your metabolism. Calories in, calories out still applies.
Flat earther logic lol
Hey Lexi .... How many 400 pound 86 year old.women at 5 ft havs you seen ? Oh none ..but I see millions at 135-150 ponds ..weird
So she thinks thay obsese people who have not had a health issue yet (yet being the key word here) proves that its healthy. This woman is insane and should not be given a platform or an ability to spread their dangerous message.
Overweight ducks
Healthy fat ppl…
Can't believe they actually had this chick on here smh 💀
The blonde lady Kelsey seems like a pompous AH. And the older man seems like a AH as well. John(obese to beast) seems so kind and humble and is so supportive, and the man Cameron seems so kind on how he approaches the couple with his facts. That’s what people need is compassion.
That blonde woman is such a hack talking about fat is an organ!
Truth is always considered "mean" to perpetual victims.
Bro don't even bother arguing this 😂
I'm Skinny but I still am unhealthy. It has nothing to do with weight.
Of course skinny ppl can be unhealthy too....but just being obese in and of itself is unhealthy
Routinely driving home drunk safely doesn't exclude the statistics against doing so.
Non-smokers get cancer too. So you're saying smoking has nothing to do with cancer risk?
you're awful dr phil
Well love yourselves as much as you want but if you are fat then you are fat and it is not an insult like to say that someone is black. They are other words for fat people that are mean and it is not OK to use them. It is really not that hard to move a little and not much fast food every day? People are not born with six packs and cute buts. They earned those by doing something and I am not gonna celebrate someone who eat all day and cannot walk 5 stairs up. Your choice but do not force to thing you are beautiful. Do you know that with sweat comes a smell?
