At 11:46, you make good points.
However, when people are eating better (protein and fibers) and exercise more, they will most likely lose body fat. And, after losing this excess weight, their health and blood markers was indeed getting better.
Furthermore, recent studies are starting to use body fat %; those randomized controlled trial on humans showed people on both extremities of the spectrum are more likely to suffer from health problems. Being undersized or oversized isn't ideal neither on the long run.
Like you said, people need to adopt better life habits : eating whole food, quality sleep of 7 to 9h per night, physical activities and weight lifting, going outside more often, stress management.
I was a former obese myself with multiple heart issues, high blood pressure, joints pain, etc. Once I adopted and maintained good habits, I was able to get rid of those problems. But, it's a daily struggle, but worth every second of it.
I love that you are shedding light on this! I feel equally frustrated when people mis-understand HAES!!
I wish this was a part of the school curriculum so it was just common knowledge!
@@ParallelWellness Wow yeah that would be fantastic!!
â@@ParallelWellness that would save so many lives in both a literal and figurative sense.
Completely beside the point, but you look like autumn personified! You've got such a great style! â€
Oh my goodness, thank you!
you are well articulated, nice content
So what do you tell a man who says he is no longer attracted to his partner after she has a baby and the woman is having a tough time losing weight bc she's busy taking care of their baby. I mean he needs to change his thinking but how??
Iâm about to create a whole series on postpartum! Send me your questions/scenarios (DM me on instagram.com/parallelwellness)
But are not on a higher risk for a lot of chronic deseases, if you have a high body fat percentage?
Thanks for this!
Is there anything to it when people say joint pain can be decreased by weighing less?
I had gastric bypass surgery in 2021. I lost 80 pounds and now have to have both knees and both shoulders replaced.
Thatâs a tough question, but I think itâll be answered well in a video I have coming out in a few weeks about whether itâs actually heathy to follow HAES. The big takeaway is that engaging in healthful behaviours is what causes the health improvements not the weightloss.
@@njjen3953 Thank you for sharing this information. Was this the case before the gastric bypass, please? Or as a result of it?
@@ALinn-vr3nl It was a problem before the bypass. The weight loss is what has enabled me to get the surgeries. The orthopedist required me to lose weight before agreeing to do the surgeries.
Hi Kelly. Speaking as a man who was 60, 19 stone and 5'7" tall 3 years ago, and who is now 63, 13 stone and 5'7" tall, absolutely. And a thousand other benefits as well.
The 5,000 itu's of vitamin D3 I have been taking since Covid began, would appear to have completely changed my metabolism. How I wish I'd known this before doing the damage I did being overweight for so long.
Why âhealth at every sizeâ has anything to do with personality? I donât understand why you start with personality.
Is opting out of being weighed at annual health checkups a good way to practice HAES?
YES! I have a video on this coming up in a few weeks!
@@ParallelWellness As a physician I have to disagree. Noting trends in your body weight is a parameter that we look at to assess the overall health of our patients.
@@ChannelUmptyThree may I ask what information you gain about your patient's health by knowing their weight? What specific health conditions are indicated by one's weight, please?
â@ALinn-vr3nl Do you believe there is NO correlation between health and weight or that the correlation isn't enough to justify causation?
To note drastic drops and rises in your weight that could indicate hyper/hypothyroidism, diabetes (type 2 or 1), certain kinds of cancer, or sudden kidney or liver failure/disease. If they do figure out you have these issues without weighing you noticing that you've stopped or started gaining weight on a treatment plan could be part of them determining if the treatment is effective.
I've got a question for you in return. Should they guess your weight when putting you under anesthesia or dosing medicine?
Being obese alone does not mean you are unhealthy. However, being overweight increases the risk of being unhealthy.
That is hard to prove. However, people who are obese are less likely to get quality health care. Either they wonât go to the doctor because they donât want to be judged harshly. Or their complaints wonât be taken seriously because there doctor will assume their problem is that they are overweight. For example, the cancer that wasnât caught until too late because the patient was just told to lose weight.
Or they donât have health care because they are discriminated against in the hiring process for many good jobs with healthcare.
â@@CafeLubro, stop coping.
Thatâs why âhealth at every sizeâ is not taken seriously though.
Youâre trying to tackle on a much bigger issue: people judging other based off appearance. Which encompasses more than just âfatnessâ. Height. Face. Proportionality.
The other thing is-I feel like overweight women who are apart of this âmovementâ tend to understandably focus on themselves. You say being small and skinny is ideal? Then you have no idea what itâs like to be a man.
Nature is always going to be competitive. Thereâs always going to be a pecking order or hierarchy. At least âweâ can choose out circles. I just donât understand why you guys feel the need to âchange the worldâ.
If you are genuinely happy with yourself and body, then surround yourself with people who are likeminded. Why bother trying to tell the world that theyâre bullies who should play nice? Itâs nonsensical.
Did you even watch the video?
â@@Hannah-y2z Instead of a sarcastic vague response why don't you tell me where you disagree.
