To me it almost seems like she thought losing weight would be easy and she would “do it the hard way” and when she realized the concept of losing weight may be simple but the execution is much harder, she took the first way out she found which was to be validated my the fat acceptance movement. Very sad
They are way too close to the camera. Chapstick recommended. They should not use sweeping statements about entire countries. These people act like they’re so horribly oppressed by absolutely everyone, but so many of them say really offensive things about other groups
@@ingridgallagher1029 Um. Are you thinking of the Holodomor? Because while I'm sure plenty of people starved to death in concentration camps, that isn't exactly the cause of death most associated with the Holocaust. It was probably a common one, particularly amongst those they weren't actively trying to genocide like political prisoners. But the gas chambers are what most people's minds jump to with the Holocaust. Whereas the Holodomor was an engineered starvation.
Why do they always say “thin and miserable”? They are so black and white: you’re either fat and eating all the tasty things or you are thin and you eat dry lettuce and ice cubes for every meal.
Right? You can lose weight and maintain a repertoire of food that you actually like to eat. One of my weight-loss tricks is to just make low-fat substitutions when I can. If I want a taco, I have it with low-fat cheese and low-fat sour cream. It really makes no difference taste-wise, but it does when it comes to calories. You can make a lot of low-effort healthy habits work if you try and still enjoy your food.
They speak as if to stay thin, all your food must taiste bad. I never stopped eating junkfood every day ( along with highly nutritious foods that taiste good ) and I'm 115lb.
It's projection. Most are miserable on several levels. Food becomes the only truly pleasurable thing and they mistake that for true happiness and contentment.
"I'd rather have diabetes than be miserable." Ah yes because having to inject insulin, getting kidney failure, heart disease and losing your feet is totally not going to make you miserable.
Diabetes has become so common that people forget how terrible it really is. My uncle lost his legs, one above the knee, to diabetes and it eventually killed him. The last 3 years of his life were spent in one room of his house because he could no longer use the stairs. He went 2 years without a real shower because of losing his legs. He fell into a deep depression before he died. He is part of the reason I am trying to lose weight and become healthier. I never want to lose my legs
I question whether or not a doctor should keep their medical license and right to practice medicine if they're denying a well known health issue even existing.
Harold Shipman directly killed his victims. She’s indirectly killing people with her bullshit advice. It’s fatal misinformation and I hope people are reporting her to the GMC
"I'd rather get diabetes than be miserable" Um, my stepmum has had diabetes nearly her whole life, she is now in her mid 40-s and is in full kidney failure, awaiting a dual pancreas & kidney transplant. Please do NOT minimise the severity of diabetes. People choosing to have it is such a vile concept. People like this are so dangerous.
Ridiculous. My husbands ex had diabetes. She lost a foot, her eyesight and died at 53. Why would anyone chose this? The misery goes away once you get away from the addictive foods.
Once my weight hit 257, my blood tasted sweet, I had eyesight issues(Blurry), I was constantly thirsty, sweating crazily, and unable to sleep. Now that I have lost 10 pounds(Mostly water), finally getting my calories in check due to me finally having a real reason to deal with it with trying to honor God with my body, the symptoms have gone away. Diabetes isn't a joke, and my grandpa with similar genetics died with it at 500 pounds, due to infections getting out of control because of it. I don't want to die young, and I want my body to be 18, instead of forty. It was so tough to deal with mentally in the week those symptoms appeared, and losing the weight compared to the negative consequences of staying on this road is far less stressful than knowing you are on the verge of breaking your body chemistry, and dying quickly. For anyone having Type 1 diabetes, I am so sorry there is no cure. For those who are Type 2, get off while you still can.
she didn’t actually get it revoked- she got a warning for spreading misinformation, got mad, and resigned via email in a very unprofessional way. what an OUTSTANDING doctor, huh? totally worth throwing away years of work that got put into becoming a doctor because you just couldn’t possibly be wrong about something…
Narcissism at it's finest. Her goal was to be a "world famous weight loss doctor" at the first day of her weight loss journey. She knew nothing about weight loss, but thought she has the potential to be "wold famous". Then she saw how much easier it is to get a lot of attention with fat activism, and going viral with nonsense, she just jumped ship. And it worked: now a lot of heath channels give her the attention she craves so much. :/
I agree, I don't think she was "taken in" by anything. I think this is nothing but a con artist at work. I've seen this type before in various media, they always choose the most controversial and outrageous "positions" guaranteed to get them the attention they crave. I don't think she believes any of it. But she got what she wanted. We are talking about her.
@@Nikki_the_G I thought the same thing, which to me is worse. It's one thing getting sucked in to false information and falling victim to a hopeful message. It's another thing entirely to spread that information to vulnerable people looking for confidence and acceptance. It takes a certain type of attention seeking evil to do that.
It was probably a combination of attention seeking and being reached out to in a vulnerable moment, maybe 3 months before she would still have been strong enough and too caring about her health to have taken the bait, but then she was struggling and would easily take the bait.
This instantly reminded me of my country's national traitor, Vidkun Quisling, who was at first helping people as a humanitarian (though it later turned out that he was opportunistic enough to steal from and take advantage of the people he was supposed to help), but jumped ship to support the nazi's invasion of our country during WW2. He simply chose which way to go6based on his narcissistic and opportunistic way of thought. Which way would get him money and prestige? He was the last man to be executed in my country.
Self discipline and accountability is the biggest threat to these advocates. It would mean their situation is changeable and their fault and instead they need to make it outside their control and use mental gymnastics to cope with their bad situation and act like it’s actually a good thing. It’s bascially obesity Stockholm syndrome
As a Brit I'd like to point out that a lot of us are ashamed of this doctor. I nearly spat my tea out when I saw them on TV one morning. How they still have their medical licence is beyond me.
@@dalkay dont worry, you also have some completely sane fact based doctors who aren't ideologically pro-vaccine nut jobs too. having a fact based approach to everything in medicine is what a good doctor should do. terms like "antivax" are propaganda bs.
@@mindingmybusiness3915 Tammy has lost over 100 pounds since season 3 ended. They've signed a contract, she can't just share updates on her weight loss every time her "fans" accuse her of not losing weight. Having said that, she's been in rehab the whole time so she doesn't actually have any control over her food or portion sizes, so hopefully the weight stays off once she goes home 🤷♀️
I love how she just definitively associates being fit with "being miserable". No, you can absolutely lose weight and eat great food and have a fun life. In fact my most miserable times in my life have been when I've been overweight, and having no energy and getting out of breath doing mundane things. THAT is miserable.
Exactly, I stress eat when I’m depressed and unhappy and gain weight fast. When things are good, I don’t really snack so I eat much less but I actually I enjoy my meals more because I’m actually hungry and not just trying to fill an emotional emptiness inside.
@@Stardrix16 If you're serious, it's because food gives instant gratification and takes your mind off what's bothering you. The problem is, it's very fleeting relief and usually leaves you worse than you were before. Though when I'm absolute rock bottom depressed (like no energy to even get out of bed) I do lose my appetite and food gives no pleasure.
She should have her medical license suspended or revoked entirely. Being a board certified doctor spreading fantastical lies about health to the masses has to be grounds for that.
It's so much easier to blame your issues on others then take accountability. And unfortunately with the internet people can be applauded for blaming others and end up in a toxic echo chamber
@Coach McDerp Tell me you don't know what you're talking about without tell me. Kiana is very open about her journey with weight loss and her experience being overweight. You're so out of touch.
It's dissapointing to see Kiana like this. This comment reeks of "you're fat cause you make bad choices". Things are not that black and white and by supporting this type of rhetoric, you are supporting the discrimination of fat people.
It's a slap in the face for me when she said she rather be fat with diabetes. I had to watch my grandma die in absolute misery due to diabetes. Diabetic gangrene and diabetic neuropathy. It was fucking awful listening to my late grandma scream in agony from the pain, and I was not able to do anything to help but give her morphine... end of life care. Then a week later her oldest son, my uncle, died too. Same condition.
My dad has diabetes, we have to take extra care of his diet, exercise, especially mouth and feet hygiene as his doctors say people with diabetes are the most prone to serious infections in their feet
I have diabetes, I've been diagnosed two years ago and this Lady can come get mine. Diabetes is misery, gotta watch my diet, can't enjoy the same things as my family and friends, gotta be careful of not hurting my feet or hands, and most of all feeling I feel absolutely awful all of the time. What is wrong with those people I swear
Yes. It's extremely insulting and straight-up insensitive. I am so sorry about your grandma. Her suffering sounded so agonizing and horrific. Diabetes is not a game. FatDoctor also said that they'd rather be happy and get diabetes. Happiness was also mentioned. Diabetes will NOT make you HAPPY. You will not stay happy. It didn't make your grandma happy. Amputation, blindness, organ failure, heart problems, neuropathy. NONE of that will keep anyone happy. These people in the Fat Acceptance movement are dangerous, and they shouldn't be promoting stuff like this. I have it, and I'm lucky to have medicine that controls it very well. The medicine has kept my A1C under 6.0. I still need to lose weight though.
You can tell the instant she speaks that she doesn’t believe anything she’s spews but knows that she can get “famous” and benefit by telling vulnerable people what they want to hear. She knows exactly what she’s doing.
There’s a quote from Seneca that says “some would rather reform the gods than reform themselves” that reminds me of these people. It’s easier to them to make videos about all doctors and researchers being wrong than it is to confront their own issues
It was me, I was the person taken in by fat acceptance! I remember seeing your video about toxic world of fat activism and I couldn't get through 10 mins of it. I now have high blood pressure at 33 and trying my hardest to lose weight. I think there are a lot of things that body positivity does for us, being fat is less stigmatized and the less people are ashamed of themselves the better. I had to learn to love my body before I am able to change it, and there was no where in the world outside of BP that gave me space to love it. But I feel like I was taken in by a conspiracy theory.
My childhood best friend died suddenly in January at 50, her husband died last year, he was 56. Both had numerous health complications and both were very obese. They were also lovely, funny, hardworking and kind people, who left 3 children in their late teens orphaned. Obesity is no joke, it is also not healthy, it kills.
"it is also not healthy, it kills." WRONG It was high insulin which killed them. Caused by eating sugar and processed foods. They were obese because of high insulin which also caused the other conditions. Not the other way around. Spreading this lie, that obesity is "causal" for other conditions just kills more innocent people, because no one cares about the REAL CAUSE. Obesity is not the cause, it is just one of the consequences. You need to treat the real cause...
@@btudrus Were you the pathologist who wrote their death certificates? She died of a massive heart attack and he died from complications after surgery. Obesity killed them.
@@abeautifulcountry9353 "Obesity killed them." COMPLETELY WRONG. Heart attack is CAUSED by eating sugar (and by high insulin induced by eating sugar). Which also causes obesity, NOT THE OTHER WAY! Obesity doesn't cause you having surgery or die from complications thereof. Eating sugar / being hyperinsulinaemic does, however. Stop repeating this bullshit about obesity. It is just a marker of a poor health, not a cause thereof. People are dying because of your stupid lie....
@Grungus Khan I think they heard the (N*zi term) "useless eaters" which was used to describe the first victims of systemic extermination, the disabled, and decided that was fatphobic. Then again, many FAs are trying to tie fat experience to disability when it suits them.
@Grungus Khan it's disgusting how many people who believe they're the ultimate, faultless and benign victim compare their struggles to one of the most horrific and evil events in history. Like, they MUST be living in such privilege and comfort that they can compare something to a pretty common negative experience for humans (feeling insecure etc) to, again, one of the most evil events in history. It's like she's never had to deal with any real hardship.
@Grungus Khan that evil event actually started with unlifing and punishment communists. That certain H man (I have to censor myself, thanks UA-cam) utterly despised them and they were his first target.
Right? Because being called fat and not being able to fit into a one-person seat is basically the same as being locked up, starved, forced to work, and then ultimately being put into a gas chamber and dying along with your loved ones (unless they died before you did, or you died before they did). 🙃
My dad had this exact same thought pattern as this "dr" until they had to amputate his left leg. My old man has been crying himself to sleep since then but I guess they don't talk about the consequences of disregarding your health for the long term
They do, they definitely do. They just don't want to take accountability for themselves and are perfectly content to emburden the rest of society and its healthcare. My mum is a nurse and the number of nurses who have injured themselves, because hospitals don't provide the right equipment for them, because these people are endless. Seriously though, when something is self inflicted like this they should be the last to receive treatment. Especially because they're taking up hospital beds that should go to sick people who had no choice in being sick. When I was in hospital I had to watch an unlifing cancer patient sit in a chair in the corridor of the hospital ward because these overweight people took up the beds and there weren't enough to go around. There were not enough beds and no chairs that were big enough for overweight people to use, so they got the beds instead.
@@fawnieee nah, man. Most of them cannot face the long term, it’s an unfortunate natural coping mechanism of the human mind. The issue continues when that denial is backed up by people like this which encourages them to continue being blind to their own reality. Comments like this help nobody, you’re just self-aggrandising.
Their rhetoric hurts fat people and that's the part that bothers me. Fat ppl deserve to make an informed decision on whether or not to lose weight. There is already so much hate/misinformation for people that are fat, so why as as a fat person, make it harder for other fat people??
Because her and other fat activists dont want to make that decision. They dont have the strength to decide to try and change so instead they just make it "wrong" to choose. That way they get rid of the cognitive dissonance, they can eat as much as they want without feeling guilty
My grandmother died of complications of long term out of control diabetes. She was morbidly obese for years. The last time I saw her she had both legs amputated to the hips. She died the next day. Talk about motivation.
Why do these people always insist that you must be unhappy if you are thin? Is it because they cannot think of anything worse than controlling your eating? Prime example of greed.
I was wondering about that too. Probably they identify happiness with food so the concept of being careful and not indulging yourself with anything you want, anytime you want it equals misery. Nobody seems to take into account other things in life that can bring us happiness or simply the fact that some people genuinely like and enjoy their healthy food.
I think for people like her and all the rest of the Body Positive movement it's more easy to be the VICTIMS, because if you are the victim you don't have to do anything but just crying and sobbing about your "fate". They forgot that obesity didn't come one day in the morning to our bodies , we did something every single day of our life to became fat and they hope they can loose weight in a couple of weeks or months or without effort ????
Im currently overweight. Again. And it's hard to lose weight , sure . But I've been eating like nobodies business after i lost weight last time. Cycling 10+ miles every day and some more on the weekend allows to eat a ton. I think they confuse the necessary deprivation during a diet for a permanent state. You can't go back to absurd portions if you don't do lots of sports but feeling kinda hungry slot of the time isn't forever
@@gur262 you don’t need to deprive yourself to lose weight. Eating low calorie foods that have a high volume and balancing macros will actually make you feel full. I’ve consistently lost 1.5-2lbs eating approximately 2k cal per day. I am also an avid cyclist and I do not feel deprived. I never cut out carbs, but did switch to a lower fat diet to accommodate dietary restrictions I have due to an illness I have. I eat a sorbet (45cal) or gelato bar (80cal) every single night; or perhaps some chocolate covered strawberries (45cal each). I am also AFAB & over 40. So the weight doesn’t always come off easily. But the main thing abt the idea of depriving yourself is that you will eventually not be able to sustain that. As your body weight goes down, you will have to work out more or eat less to continue to lose. They cut calories so much that they plateau & become hungry. Not depriving yourself makes you feel full and satisfied and less likely to overeat calorically dense foods. The only thing I restricted (nearly fully) was fried foods. I still eat almost everything else. I eat bread, cereal, starchy vegetables, etc. I just eat the processed stuff in controlled portions. It’s when you deprive yourself too much that you eventually break your self-imposed strict rules. If you allow yourself to have portioned controlled treats, it allows you to balance out your diet. I just hate this idea that we have to deprive ourselves to be healthy. In fact, I can have much larger portions now and I feel full, whereas calorically dense foods kept me hungry all the time.
“There are no academic articles that PROVE being fat is bad for your health” this is purely using wording to her advantage. She’s technically right, because nothing is ever proven in science. But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t overwhelming amounts of evidence in support of it.
@@kfkkfk7995 ok since you want to be technical, then the rate at which time moves forwards is faster closer to her than farther away. this causes objects to shrink asymmetrically and appear to 'accelerate' to where she is. this is due to her large mass and influence on spacetime
@@Blox117 yeah, but the effect is probably too little to measure it, and you'd have to prove that it wasn't, for example, the wind that moved whatever object moved towards her, so it remains unproven. She could literally say that it's not proven and it would be factually correct
Fat and happy VS thin and miserable reminds me of something one of my friends who was addicted to cocaine would say. Whenever I brought up his health he would go „I‘d rather be happy now and die at 30 than be miserable and kill myself within the next year.“ The scary thing is that he was convinced of that. He truly believed there was no way he could live without taking drugs and that he would feel so horrible without he had no other option than to commit. Also the whole „fat is my community“ thing is something he would also pull. His dealer was one of his friends, the people he got high with are his friends. They are the only ones who truly understand him, I as a person without an addiction could never understand what it’s like etc. etc. They have an addiction and they are in deep denial. Even worse: they push other people into denial as well.
Why do so many of these fat activists equate wanting to improve your overall health with not loving yourself? Like girl, I’m literally self-obsessed, that’s why I don’t wanna die at 30. 😂😂
It feels almost cult-like the way people in the fat positive community "reach out" to people when they're the most vulnerable. Really disgusting. I can't help but think what this woman is going to feel when (hopefully!) she snaps out of it and realises what she has been promoting. Off-topic though - you're looking absolutely gorgeous Kiera!
I think the key point is her admitting she had dreams of being a “famous weight loss doctor”. Clearly that didn’t work out due to her being unable to lose the weight. But fame can be found by going on tv and social media with an opposing view to main stream medical advice. Feed into the conspiracy narrative, be the outlier, act like a rebel as shows always want conflict as it gets ratings. Also, there’s no need to lose weight so minimal effort
I was literally going to come say this. They seem like a person who, when they don't immediately succeed at their lofty goals, just do a full 180 and embrace getting famous, or whatever their goal is, the easy way. "I believed I had to do it the hard way" is an immediate red flag for me of that type of person, btw. The mindset out of the gate is that whatever they're doing has to be done the hardest possible way to be valuable, or not at all. This kind of thinking has deep roots in insecurity and this self-exceptionalist idea that they'll somehow, through outlandish effort, eventually earn their place among the stars. But only if they do the thing "the hard way". More often than not, this means going in 120% and completely overdoing the effort, as if to rig the game against themselves from the beginning. They KNOW they will burn out, but because they went so hard for a while, they get to tell people it was impossible; they tried "everything" and it didn't work. Mundane, boring solutions that work without fanfare but require months and years of diligence, of teaching yourself new habits and learning to find joy in them, are beneath their notice. Too dull, too miserable, too unremarkable, and worst of all, too demonstrably successful. I may know a few too many people like this, and once upon a time, one of them lived in my mirror. Glad that person got his head out of his ass. :P
As someone who lost 20 kilos, I had people along the way asking whether I was miserable by eating less/healthy and exercising, but I never felt better. Funny how fuelling your body correctly and exercising regularly makes you feel better. A real head-scratcher.
Doesnt her whole stance actually fall under malpractice, where she should loose her licence to practice medicine? i mean if she tells her morbidly obese patients that they are completly fine and shouldnt loose any weight because you go girl,body positivity or whatever reason she gives... This truly is scary 😮
Only if she's telling it to her patients or giving individual medical treatment. General medical advice to non-patients is not legally regulated. If she had a patient in her office and said these things, she would have her license yaked out of her hands, but she's perfectly in her right to say it online. (whether it's a right she should be exerting, that's up to society to determine.)
@@ghostratsarah I don't doubt that she might not actually be saying this to patients, because she seems like an opportunistic grifter, who doesn't ACTUALLY believe any of that shit.
One thing to bear in mind is that she appears to be a GP who are privately hired by her surgery rather than being hired directly by the NHS. This means it’s just down to the owners of the surgery whether to keep her on or not. The UK tends to have a lot of GPS with really dodgy ideas. Hell we only stopped appearing GPs to advocate homeopathy as few years ago. That’s unfortunately how our system works
@@deanolium not entirely true. She still has to maintain registration to the GMC and they can strike her off the register. But she would need to be referred to them by fellow professionals or patients who’ve suffered due to her care. Re homeopathy; it was available in a lot of the NHS. I blame Prince Charles’s interference for a lot of that
She sounds like another emotional dysregulated grifter. They prey on vulnerable people desperate to hear a message that soothes their victim mentality.
I’ve been looking for this comment. Something about her eyes screams “listen to me, follow me!” It’s honestly so scary to see it so clearly. Especially the whole holocaust thing…. So gross
@@mysterylovescompany2657 Why use such things for someone who is clearly unstable, and hasn't gone to see a professional for such things a gender dysphoria? That's the equivalent of someone self-diagnosing that they're autistic and clinically depressed; all for attention. It does nothing but enable unhealthy behaviour. Even then, it is in no way someone else's problem if you get upset at being misgendered. Especially when you present yourself as more male or female.
@Baie des villes Because you dont need dysphoria to be cis. This person adopted the identity around the same time their shifts towards obesity changed and to me that sounds like someone emotionaly unstable found a radfem echo chamber.
I saw a man at a beach bar last summer. He was probably 5'7" and 350 pounds. My friend said "I envy him". Shocked, I asked why. He said "because he doesn't give a shit". That sums it up. After my divorce I gained 30 pounds. Then I started to give a shit. I ate healthy, I worked out. I lost 40 pounds and kept it off for 15 years. My blood work is nearly perfect, and at 67 years old, 5'3", 120 pounds, I feel fantastic. These fat activists are annoying.
@@Sheepcakezzz She's not wrong. To love yourself and your health is to "give a shit" about what you're putting in it. When I made the decision to get healthy, I started "giving a shit" about my body and my health, esp. my future health.
When my friend was on tik tok (and so was I for only a small period of time), there were so many posts spreading false information that obesity is a lie or that being fat is good for you and I am glad neither me or my friend had fallen into it, I couldn't imagine the damage it could have done to us, let alone the damage it does to the adults who might have irreversible long term chronic damage from these beliefs.
I don't understand how this person still has a platform and hasn't been banned from TikTok etc? Spreading extremely dangerous misinformation to vulnerable people should honestly be illegal.
This woman is not only scientifically incorrect about almost everything she claims as a doctor, but she seems to also use an avoidant personality as a shield whenever anything she says is refuted.
@@m4tta On the bright side, she's only a GP which means her job is to direct patients to the suitable doctors so she shouldn't do much harm. Imagine if she was a surgeon.... good lord 😳
I’ve been on a diet for 38 years without long term success. Now I don’t weigh myself, I go to the gym 4-5 days a week, and don’t freak out about food. After a few months, my jeans are super loose and my knees don’t hurt! I’ll slip into eating disorder behavior if I weigh myself and count calories. No pills. No shakes. No MLM. Just kindness to myself.
I both envy and respect you. I have to drink 1-2 protein shakes a day, because that's the only way I can get the protein I need. Early in my weight loss journey my upper arms got sore on a regular basis despite not exercising. I remembered hearing something about how your body will start eating away at protein after a long enough period of time. Once I started drinking protein shakes, my arms were fine again.
Intermittent fasting works for many. Basically, eat in an 8 hour window each day (likely two filling meals), and in a week or less, you won't feel hunger outside that time.
My morbidly obese grandmother had uncontrolled diabetes for years. After years of diabetic trips to the hospital and multiple surgical procedures, she died with both legs amputated to the hips. This all took years of misery. This woman is addicted to food, especially sugar, and stark raving mad.
Kiana, this woman made a video about you and just posted it. She points out immediately that you’re white, cis-gendered, and have zero medical knowledge. Of course she would, because your argument is correct and the only thing she can do is insult you about it. It makes me nauseous. Then she limits her comments and doesn’t accept messages from everyone. What a disaster.
@@AshtonGarland Wow, this was almost one year ago and you’re still mad about it? Care for it that much? I wrote that down because the fat activist used those reasons as to make Kiana look bad. Already, she shut down any kind of conversation to be made over the topic.

"I'd rather have diabetes than be miserable" - I am in shape and have diabetes and I can tell you that diabetes management takes a considerable amount of my time and energy everyday...
This is fucking wild. If she were my doctor, I would still be wheelchair bound. Losing weight not only helped me walk again, but it’s made a dramatic impact on my disease course in general. It’s easier to get past new disease attacks because I don’t have so much excess weight to carry around and can do more for myself to get through them. (I have MS)
I'm an actual male nurse and let me tell you, being fat and a medical professional, especially one as a nurse, it is not helpful OR good. My spine is in constant pain when I get overworked. My breathing pattern gets disturbed by overworking. My knees kills me from the amount of times I might not be able to sit down and relax. It really is a problem tbh. And I'm only 26.
At my local hospital, we joke that staff can identify each other in the wild through the "Hospital Walk" (incredibly fast speed walking). Keep fighting the good fight! You too have the power to become a lean, mean, speed-walking machine.
As a physical handicap, I literally could not get out of the wheelchair if I was without muscles and overweight, I simply would not be able to carry myself. With autoimmune diseases I can also say how strange I find it that a healthy person will dig her own grave that way.
No, no actually you're not handicapped at all, it`s all just a social construct like race and gender. You can walk just fine, but society hates you and doesn`t want you to do so....
Completely agree. I have ME/CFS and I put I put a huge amount of effort, time and money into being as healthy as I can be (which is still extremely ill) and I really struggle to understand these people who choose to make themselves sick.
@@caitlin8349 When something bad happens in my life or there is some struggle and I want to complain and feel sorry for my self, I have this mental exercise when I imagine waking up without my legs or arms that day.

We are taking for granted what we already have and worrying about things that doesn`t mater in the long run. She will not care about her health until she loses it and then it can be to late...
I'm nowhere near as bad as you but suffer with my own chronic illnesses and absolutely share the same sentiment. I'm so envious of people who can just _do_ things, no thought or great effort into it. Or, they end up having little to no consequences for straining themselves.
As an obese class 3 person, I can actually understand where these women are coming from. Losing weight isn't easy, and denying the fact that you are unhealthy is a much easier route. Doesn't make it right but is still true
@@tektako yes but changing habits is never easy, people usually prefer to stay in their comfort zone (even if it proves to be more difficult in the long run, but they’re blinded to that)
@@babycakes84 life isn’t easy. Most people get up and do things every day that aren’t easy. Ease shouldn’t be the primary decision maker in good vs poor choices.
Cut out the refined/processed foods, no rice, potatoes or pasta, and it comes off fairly quick tbh. Speaking from experience after years of eating too many carbs and processed sugar.
@@Raya-ir4tm she isn't completely wrong, the medical categories of obesity are somewhat arbitrary. There is some association data behind them, but it's not like the hard limits of BMI > 30 where your health falls off. She is absolutely wrong about visceral fat though, which actually is a much more important metric than weight.
That “doctor” should lose her licence. You simply can not be spreading harmful rhetoric like this when you are a trusted medical professional. Opinions aren’t facts
Idk how things work in the UK but in the US there a plenty of doctors who run practices that are just "pill mills" and it takes a while for law enforcement or an ethics board to get involved since these doctors are unlikely to be sued by their own patients. With this doctor a similar thing may be at play.
@@redmaple1982 I dunno about US either but I do know doctors are paid bonuses by pharma companies to prescribe a certain medication over another. That’s a whole other ethics issue. This doctor is actively giving out advice that will negatively effect patients. This is a much more blatant ethics issue. You simply cannot say these thing without facts. Just like the “doctor” who said vaccines are linked to autism. She should lose her licence and be discredited just like him.
Oh I mean I agree that her advice is detrimental to her patients..my point in brining up pill mill doctos is that sadly there are a decent amount of people that maintain their licenses despite handing out harmful advice while violating the law..I'm thinking it more likely she will leave the NHS and opt for a less regulated job title like health coach
@@redmaple1982 in the UK you are adhering to a code of conduct and you are a professional first and foremost so if you are spreading false and harmful information it may well be against the code and subject to sanctions. But there's a process to even be reported, invited to a fitness to practice, let alone taken off the register... I'm not saying this is a regular practice but there are many cases where doctors did far worse things and did not lose their licence... so I don't have much hope.
@@Pisceswildfire sigh... yeah I was suspecting as much. What worries me the most is the fact that she does general medicine, maximum position to misinform people
I've had a friend since high school. She was a big girl then and got even bigger through our 20s and early 30s. Her health had tanked around the age of 35, and everything was linked to her being morbidly obese. She had Diabetes, a fatty liver, suffered chronic constipation, high blood pressure and cholesterol along with a bunch of others. She needed to have a gastric bypass ASAP but she had to lose a few pounds first, and she did it. After her gastric bypass, as is typical, she lost weight rapidly and got more exercise. Once she got down to around 20% of her targeted goal for someone her height, (she's 5'10" so quite tall) all of her obesity induced health problems cleared rather rapidly. The same result when it comes to health happens every single day whether the person has a gastric bypass or not. This, "Doctor" is just such a pathetic excuse and an embarrassment to the profession. Everyone who needlessly dies because they listened to HER and believed her BS about obesity not causing other conditions.... well, she has their blood on HER hands.
If she was happy she would just be happy and live her life and laugh at haters. But she is obviously deeply insecure and unhappy and envious of fitter people, and masks that by pretending to address others' supposed bigotry. Not working.
my wife who I love very much has always struggled with her weight. She has now gotten up to 250lbs. She has started snoring and stops breathing throughout the night. She has very painful joints and can only walk to the park with our kids but not play like she used too. Her large breast are pulling on her upper back muscles causing her to have muscle spasms. She cries because she feels powerless over her food addiction. This doctor is having some sort of break with reality and needs a well check pronto.
@Coach McDerp I did't get that vibe man. He said he loved his wife very much and she always struggled with her weight. I think he was getting at the fact that he's seen the really damaging effects food addiction and obesity can cause in someone he loves. To the OP: good on you for being a loving man. Food addiction and obesity--like you've described with your children--can affect marriage in a plethora of ways from her premature death or debilitation to increased medical costs and less satisfying sex life. I'm sure as a supporting and loving partner, you know that it's just as important for your relationship as it is her individual success to help her live healthily and feel confident in her body.
You both sound like lovely people and I hope she gets some help that works for her. I have no idea what types of foods she eats, but I've experienced really awful addictive feelings from eating super processed junk-type foods, and it's honestly so scary how they mess with your brain. I can really relate to that feeling of powerlessness, you mentioning that is why I wanted to comment. If those types of foods are something she struggles with, it's not her fault - they are designed to produce exactly that addictive response. Focusing on calorie density works super well to still eat a lot and feel full while losing weight. I hope she doesn't give up 💙
@@CapucineAbadie definitely. It is processed junk food. She's been learning from UA-cam about food addiction and hopefully there will be some progress in her diet. I've always helped her as much as I can but I can't make her choices for her. I can only support her.
@Coach McDerp We've been through it all. I support her as much as I can and yes I would never leave her. We are both happily married but I was just saying this doctor doesn't know what she is talking about. Obesity is debilitating and food addiction is real.
It's always weird to me that these people claim that the effects of obesity are due to weight stigma and weight cycling alone when we can just... look at animals. Your dog has no idea people think he's fat, but it still causes higher blood pressure, joint pain, cancer, and diabetes
I can't believe they are spewing that much misinformation. I'm only 10kg above my ideal weight and I get knee pain, can't imagine what that must feel like when you're severely overweight. Incredibly irresponsible, especially considering they are a doctor.
In college I remember a fat woman seeing a pizza box stapled to the wall in our lounge, and telling a Jewish woman in the room, "That pizza box is as oppressive to me as a swastika would be to you." That sense of persecution in some HAES community members is mind boggling.
The HAES people always say things that take me right back to being suicidally depressed and using opiates. I remember having a thought almost identical to Dr Larmie's at the beginnning of the video- I'd rather use until I die of an OD than be sober and miserable. Obesity is an addiction issue.
Exactly. At least society doesn’t pretend like being a smoker, alcoholic or drug addict is healthy. That is what makes this so terrible. Food addiction should be treated with the same alarm as any other addictions.
I actually was overweight I had you same thought on the addiction part of it. At some point I was like "I'd rather dig myself a hole rather than make any effort to get out of here". I got help, recovered from my binge eating disorder and food addiction, started a healthy diet and lost the excess weight, and I did that because at some point I was tired of sitting in that hole, and I had to break the cicle. The way they speak really sounds dangerous on so many levels, it enables addictions and makes it sounds a lot like "hurting yourself is your own right", which is something I always told myself when it comes to addictions
I love that your passion shines through in your videos. I love the way you edit and how straightforward and to the point you are! Just love your videos. Haven't seen a single one I haven't enjoyed.
My great aunt passed away in her late 40's from complications from type 1 diabetes. She had an infection in her toe and some stupid idiotic nurse who knew nothing about diabetes pulled off her toenail and then wrapped the toe up in bandages. As a result of this she got gangrene and had to have her leg amputated, only to die of it anyway. Anyone minimising just how dangerous diabetes is are disgusting, and the fact that a DOCTOR would minimise the effects of diabetes is even more disgusting. She should be stripped of her medical license and never allowed to work as a doctor again. As a person who has been through medical school and passed medical exams, she KNOWS she is lying, and is doing it deliberately and maliciously for her own gain, while disregarding the health of others, since there are many people out there who want desperately to believe that they can just sit around eating crap and packing on the pounds and still be healthy, and will take her word as gospel.
I went from the 270s to the 230s in my weight over the last few months, although I’m still obese and have a long way to go the, benefits of weight loss have been incredible. Things I didn’t think would happen like having more energy and getting better sleep have made my quality of life so much better.
Keep in mind. Being overweight but still eating properly, or at least keeping a high level of nutrition (and hopefully limiting sugars and vegetable oils) and staying active, does not mean being unhealthy... Stay close enough to that route and your lbs will keep dropping and u will b staying healthy 'enough'... Its about moving in the right direction and staying enough on that course
You say “benefits of weight loss”, but is the weight all that’s changed, or are you also eating a lot better and exercising more now..? Or did you somehow magically just lose weight without making literally any changes to your life? 🤔
@@Kessiebear81 Obviously she made SOME lifestyle changes, whether that be dietary or exercising, or both. Its all about calories in, calories out. Shes clearly putting in the work and cutting calories someway.
As someone in the medical field, this is just so infuriating. Basically, she's just telling people to give up on trying when she should know better by research of obesity. It does a lot of harm not only on herself but on others who will believe her just because she's a doctor. Straight up denialism here. Don't even get me start on "the whatever doing physical activity for the health" quote...
As a philosophy student who has to deal with the philosophy of science, this bothers me so much because the bar to "prove" something is unimaginably high, we have a lot of assumptions, we can create a model of best fit which we have yet to find anything that disproves it (because that is how science works, so technically we have never "proven" anything, we just have a lot of "yet to be disproven" statements). It's just so obtuse and it directly impacts actual health outcomes.
I studied more of the hard sciences and even then most everything we learn is only a theory because we don't know what we don't know. Evolution is a theory, relativity is a theory, but while those havent been proven they have a mountain of evidence behind them. Also as an engineer her comment about knee pain not being caused by extra weight had me rolling though.
I believe something if I see it with my own eyes, I see overweight people struggle (my 600-lb life) I was obese and struggled, I've seen autopsies with fat around the organs, and I've had family die from being obese.....so for me obesity being called healthy is the biggest pile of bulls*1t ever claimed.
@@RealityAlwaysWins like “sure I have knee pain and I also happen to be obese, but you can’t prove that it’s linked!” Well babe, you can’t prove that *not* losing all that extra weight will finally resolve your knee pan, now can ya? See for yourself.
I believe the reason they tend to use statements like, “Everybody is against fat people” is because this kind of thinking creates an isolating effect. When we start thinking “me against the world”, I think it creates this distorted sense of reality. I went through this because of bullying and I started thinking the negative thoughts in my head were things people have said, but no one was saying anything. I think they even confirm this later by saying something like, “Fat people are my community.” To someone who feels isolated, this is probably one of the most important things to them.
Or it could be because being fat is the only remaining acceptable (socially and legally) form of discrimination, that is a constant and incredibly harmful (both mentally and physically.. and also sexually in many cases) for those who live with it - but of course you don’t believe it exists if you’ve never lived it
I am a vet nurse. I work with animals. I am also a feeder and I love feeding animals. I have to discipline myself. Obesity is bad for their health. You know that if you work in medicine, because you see it. Even with animals. If you have ever been involved in surgery on an obese patient, risks escalate. They need more anesthesia. The organs are pushed out of the normal place, and are difficult to locate and then access with all of the fat... the organs are bigger too because they have to work harder, and everything is more slippery. It makes it a lot harder to do a prompt and straight forward surgery and it means the patient has to be under anesthesia longer and they are also already more prone to problems with anesthesia. This is one thing in medicine that is undeniably effected by weight, and there are hundreds. It is what it is. How can you work in medicine, see it all the time, and still deny it? Does fat phobia exist within medicine? Yes, definitely. Is obesity a major risk for your health? Yes, definitely.
My issue is with the manipulation of language. Simply attaching an arbitrary suffix like "phobic" or "ism" to a word doesn't insulate the topic from criticism. If fatphobia means overweight people not being treated with the dignity and respect afforded to every human by birthright, then of course anybody who isn't a sociopath would approve of that concept. But "fatphobia" as it's used by fat acceptance advocates is a blanket term that seeks to inoculate obesity from objective criticism and vilify their ideological opponents. Then it just devolves into jingoism and demagogy.
Well, if my options were "fat and happy" or "thin and miserable" I'd choose happy too. But my (and most people's) options were more like "overweight, sick, depressed and miserable" or "normal weight, healthy and happy".
Speaking from personal experience, I imagine a lot of the more extreme fat activists (especially morbidly obese ones) are likely entrenched in the “denial” phase of addiction-or at least it seems that way to me. While being obese is certainly not a moral failing, I view it being on par with smoking: smokers shouldn’t be harassed or neglected by the medical system-smoking is often a coping mechanism-it’s highly addictive but completely legal-though addictive, it's still a choice (at least to a certain extent)-and its effects on your health aren’t immediate or even 100% guaranteed. Ipso facto, I think the discussion around being significantly overweight should more frequently be framed from a perspective of addiction support rather than traditional health, wellness, and fitness. Because while I’m sure there are exceptions to the rule, in literally every case I’ve encountered (including mine), if you’re 50+ lbs over what’s normal for your height, age, and body composition, there’s some underlying dysfunction going on, because you can’t sustain that kind of weight unless you’re taking in a LOT of calories. Like many personal trainers say: you can’t out-exercise a bad diet.
completely agree, if someone is not addicted to food, they don’t feel the need to eat the calories to support an obese body, a body going on the recommended amount of calories can not be overweight. to me it sounds like drug addicts trying to explain why they need the drugs - the anger, blame and random explanations. i think it would be way healthier to address obesity as an addiction or mental health problem rather than a medical problem because more often than not unhealthy individuals have problems in other areas of life
I came here looking for this exact take! Thank you. Regarding the coping aspect, I fact, I think I heard somewhere that there is a really high correlation between morbid obesity and earlier childhood abuse.
As a Brit, I hate the way some brits talk in that arrogant, patronising, rude, facetious, saracastic way. It really is not becoming and makes this person even more unlikeable.
I'm a 4th year medical student, I spent the past year taking medical history from patients and even I can tell you that there's a clear difference between an average weight and an overweight/obese patient medically; they tend to have more diseases at younger ages (they mostly look older than their age too) and it's always them with worse prognosis and more post operative complications.
"It's a social construct" Funny how you measure all other social constructs with social science studies but you measure weight with a scientifically calibrated scale.
Someone recently said they would rather be fat and happy and not miserable like me. I told them reducing my food intake is not making miserable I was just as miserable due to health issues before as I am now but at least I’m doing something good for my body.

When I got my first puppy, I asked the animal hospital vet what one piece of advice he would give anyone who wants their dogs to live long happy lives, he said, "don't let your dog get fat." Though I was surprised to hear his response, it makes perfect sense.
Sort of a good example of how seemingly reasonable, educated people can absolutely become radicalized into belief systems based on community groupthink and echo chambers.
Unrelated but the whole conversation around the “obesity” paradox drives me insane. The “obesity” paradox actually means there is data to show that SLIGHTLY OVERWEIGHT people have lower mortality rates than other BMIs. There has literally never been data to support the idea that obesity is healthy.
The “obesity paradox” also tends to be more true for older adults. As in, older people who have A LITTLE extra weight far better than their thin or underweight peers. It has nothing to do with being obese or morbidly obese.
It makes me wonder whether the definition of “healthy weight” needs to be shifted a little. “Slightly overweight” now would be a BMI of 27 or 28. If people with this BMI have the lowest mortality rates, maybe the metric needs to shift to make the “healthy” or “normal” BMI range start at, say, 27. Mine is about 24/24.5 and I always feel like I’m too close to “overweight”. That’s not a good mindset.
@@sopyleecrypt6899 my doctor never said anything about my weight when I was in the 25-27 range. When I hit 30, we talked about weight loss and I got back down to 26. I feel a lot better, and my doctor is happy with that number… she didn’t tell me to go lower.
@@sopyleecrypt6899 I've definitly seen good research that says for seniors (over 65s) being slightly overweight is healthier, because having more muscle mass is crucial to avoiding frailty and staying healthy in this age group. For younger people, the 'obesity paradox' has been criticised on the basis that people who are dying due to conditions like chronic lung/kidney disease, AIDs, etc. are often underweight as a result of their condition, which then causes them to die, and this was not factored into the results. However, currently both people who are slightly overweight and slightly underweight are indeed misdiagnosed as 'unhealthy'. This is because scale being used to measure them (the BMI scale) wasn't created for individuals, it was intended to be used to measure large populations instead. Which means people just out of the 'average' either side (both slightly underweight and slightly overweight) are deemed unhealthy when they're not. I've had this also happen to me, just on the other side of the scale: despite eating 3 meals a day + snacks, and my family (mum, dad, sister) all being tall and thin, because I am very slightly 'under' on the BMI scale my doctor suggested I was unhealthy. I would have to be actively unhealthy to gain weight. So if you shifted the BMI scale up it would still be innacurate, just for a different set of people. Better to use the BMI just scale for what it was designed for (populations), and create another, more accurate system for individuals. Edit: TLDR: shifting the BMI scale won't fix it, the BMI scale shouldn't be used by Doctors full stop, as it wasn't created for this purpose.
Love your videos 💕 I’m not all that surprised. I always say a degree is just a piece of paper and just because someone took a few classes doesn’t mean they’re an excellent resource in their job/career. At the end of the day we’re all humans and there’s always going to be good/bad people in this world and in professions.
As a medical professional i am APPALLED Edit: i recently lost almost 60lbs and i do have an eating disorder currently for the past decade. And as someone who has been both severely malnourished and have health issues because of that to being obese. Lemme tell u. My knees and stamina is better when im not big.
I had no idea how much 40 pounds was truly affecting my health until I actually lost it and saw and felt for myself the difference. There is a very real aspect of it that involves rejecting reality and therefore responsibility.
What's with privileged people's obsession with comparing every little hardship or push-back they have to the holocaust? This person had a downswing on their diet. I have depression. Downswings happen. Progress isn't linear, life isn't linear. A downswing is not an excuse to rationalize and promote self-destructive behaviors to the masses just to not feel bad about having one.
UGH! My weight has been up and down all my life. It is SOOO annoying when people tell your how to lose weight, naming everything you've tried and keep trying. And also- "tough love" doesn't work. Respect and encouragement does.

@@ingridgallagher1029 Um. Are you thinking of the Holodomor? Because while I'm sure plenty of people starved to death in concentration camps, that isn't exactly the cause of death most associated with the Holocaust.

But the gas chambers are what most people's minds jump to with the Holocaust. Whereas the Holodomor was an engineered starvation.

Why do they always say “thin and miserable”? They are so black and white: you’re either fat and eating all the tasty things or you are thin and you eat dry lettuce and ice cubes for every meal.
Right? You can lose weight and maintain a repertoire of food that you actually like to eat. One of my weight-loss tricks is to just make low-fat substitutions when I can. If I want a taco, I have it with low-fat cheese and low-fat sour cream. It really makes no difference taste-wise, but it does when it comes to calories. You can make a lot of low-effort healthy habits work if you try and still enjoy your food.

Ah yes because having to inject insulin, getting kidney failure, heart disease and losing your feet is totally not going to make you miserable.
Diabetes has become so common that people forget how terrible it really is. My uncle lost his legs, one above the knee, to diabetes and it eventually killed him. The last 3 years of his life were spent in one room of his house because he could no longer use the stairs. He went 2 years without a real shower because of losing his legs. He fell into a deep depression before he died. He is part of the reason I am trying to lose weight and become healthier. I never want to lose my legs

@@RedSonja41
Not to mention that you CAN eat fast food once in a while if you moderate it. It's all about the balance.
Once my weight hit 257, my blood tasted sweet, I had eyesight issues(Blurry), I was constantly thirsty, sweating crazily, and unable to sleep. Now that I have lost 10 pounds(Mostly water), finally getting my calories in check due to me finally having a real reason to deal with it with trying to honor God with my body, the symptoms have gone away. Diabetes isn't a joke, and my grandpa with similar genetics died with it at 500 pounds, due to infections getting out of control because of it. I don't want to die young, and I want my body to be 18, instead of forty. It was so tough to deal with mentally in the week those symptoms appeared, and losing the weight compared to the negative consequences of staying on this road is far less stressful than knowing you are on the verge of breaking your body chemistry, and dying quickly. For anyone having Type 1 diabetes, I am so sorry there is no cure. For those who are Type 2, get off while you still can.

Narcissism at it's finest. Her goal was to be a "world famous weight loss doctor" at the first day of her weight loss journey. She knew nothing about weight loss, but thought she has the potential to be "wold famous".
Then she saw how much easier it is to get a lot of attention with fat activism, and going viral with nonsense, she just jumped ship. And it worked: now a lot of heath channels give her the attention she craves so much. :/
I agree, I don't think she was "taken in" by anything. I think this is nothing but a con artist at work. I've seen this type before in various media, they always choose the most controversial and outrageous "positions" guaranteed to get them the attention they crave. I don't think she believes any of it. But she got what she wanted. We are talking about her.
@@Nikki_the_G I thought the same thing, which to me is worse. It's one thing getting sucked in to false information and falling victim to a hopeful message. It's another thing entirely to spread that information to vulnerable people looking for confidence and acceptance. It takes a certain type of attention seeking evil to do that.
that's a really good point
It was probably a combination of attention seeking and being reached out to in a vulnerable moment, maybe 3 months before she would still have been strong enough and too caring about her health to have taken the bait, but then she was struggling and would easily take the bait.
This instantly reminded me of my country's national traitor, Vidkun Quisling, who was at first helping people as a humanitarian (though it later turned out that he was opportunistic enough to steal from and take advantage of the people he was supposed to help), but jumped ship to support the nazi's invasion of our country during WW2.
He simply chose which way to go6based on his narcissistic and opportunistic way of thought. Which way would get him money and prestige?
He was the last man to be executed in my country.

Why would you start eating because of your feelings, that is so weird to me
@@Stardrix16 If you're serious, it's because food gives instant gratification and takes your mind off what's bothering you. The problem is, it's very fleeting relief and usually leaves you worse than you were before.
Though when I'm absolute rock bottom depressed (like no energy to even get out of bed) I do lose my appetite and food gives no pleasure.
workouts = serotonin = being happy 💓
She should have her medical license suspended or revoked entirely. Being a board certified doctor spreading fantastical lies about health to the masses has to be grounds for that.

@Coach McDerp Not sure how your comment contradicts what Matt said at all.
It's dissapointing to see Kiana like this. This comment reeks of "you're fat cause you make bad choices". Things are not that black and white and by supporting this type of rhetoric, you are supporting the discrimination of fat people.
@@200kristena It literally doesn't reek of that at all.
@Wicker 2 Accurate.
It's a slap in the face for me when she said she rather be fat with diabetes. I had to watch my grandma die in absolute misery due to diabetes. Diabetic gangrene and diabetic neuropathy. It was fucking awful listening to my late grandma scream in agony from the pain, and I was not able to do anything to help but give her morphine... end of life care. Then a week later her oldest son, my uncle, died too. Same condition.
I agree, as someone with diabetes I guarantee they would be miserable with it so anything you can do to prevent it is doing your future self a favour!
Living with diabetes is a bicth and it is gd awful
My dad has diabetes, we have to take extra care of his diet, exercise, especially mouth and feet hygiene as his doctors say people with diabetes are the most prone to serious infections in their feet
I have diabetes, I've been diagnosed two years ago and this Lady can come get mine. Diabetes is misery, gotta watch my diet, can't enjoy the same things as my family and friends, gotta be careful of not hurting my feet or hands, and most of all feeling I feel absolutely awful all of the time. What is wrong with those people I swear
Yes. It's extremely insulting and straight-up insensitive. I am so sorry about your grandma. Her suffering sounded so agonizing and horrific.
Diabetes is not a game. FatDoctor also said that they'd rather be happy and get diabetes. Happiness was also mentioned. Diabetes will NOT make you HAPPY. You will not stay happy. It didn't make your grandma happy. Amputation, blindness, organ failure, heart problems, neuropathy. NONE of that will keep anyone happy. These people in the Fat Acceptance movement are dangerous, and they shouldn't be promoting stuff like this.
I have it, and I'm lucky to have medicine that controls it very well. The medicine has kept my A1C under 6.0. I still need to lose weight though.
You can tell the instant she speaks that she doesn’t believe anything she’s spews but knows that she can get “famous” and benefit by telling vulnerable people what they want to hear. She knows exactly what she’s doing.
Not to mention she knows it pisses people off and gets views and comments
There’s a quote from Seneca that says “some would rather reform the gods than reform themselves” that reminds me of these people. It’s easier to them to make videos about all doctors and researchers being wrong than it is to confront their own issues
You should definitely reform the gods or rather destroy them.

It was me, I was the person taken in by fat acceptance! I remember seeing your video about toxic world of fat activism and I couldn't get through 10 mins of it. I now have high blood pressure at 33 and trying my hardest to lose weight.
I think there are a lot of things that body positivity does for us, being fat is less stigmatized and the less people are ashamed of themselves the better. I had to learn to love my body before I am able to change it, and there was no where in the world outside of BP that gave me space to love it.
But I feel like I was taken in by a conspiracy theory.
My childhood best friend died suddenly in January at 50, her husband died last year, he was 56. Both had numerous health complications and both were very obese. They were also lovely, funny, hardworking and kind people, who left 3 children in their late teens orphaned. Obesity is no joke, it is also not healthy, it kills.
"it is also not healthy, it kills." WRONG
It was high insulin which killed them. Caused by eating sugar and processed foods.
They were obese because of high insulin which also caused the other conditions. Not the other way around.
Spreading this lie, that obesity is "causal" for other conditions just kills more innocent people, because no one cares about the REAL CAUSE. Obesity is not the cause, it is just one of the consequences. You need to treat the real cause...
@@btudrus Were you the pathologist who wrote their death certificates? She died of a massive heart attack and he died from complications after surgery. Obesity killed them.
@@abeautifulcountry9353 "Obesity killed them." COMPLETELY WRONG.
Heart attack is CAUSED by eating sugar (and by high insulin induced by eating sugar). Which also causes obesity, NOT THE OTHER WAY!
Obesity doesn't cause you having surgery or die from complications thereof. Eating sugar / being hyperinsulinaemic does, however.
Stop repeating this bullshit about obesity. It is just a marker of a poor health, not a cause thereof. People are dying because of your stupid lie....
I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.
The holocost comparison had me shaking with RAGE. how dare this person...
Seriously made me see red.
@Grungus Khan I think they heard the (N*zi term) "useless eaters" which was used to describe the first victims of systemic extermination, the disabled, and decided that was fatphobic. Then again, many FAs are trying to tie fat experience to disability when it suits them.
@Grungus Khan it's disgusting how many people who believe they're the ultimate, faultless and benign victim compare their struggles to one of the most horrific and evil events in history.
Like, they MUST be living in such privilege and comfort that they can compare something to a pretty common negative experience for humans (feeling insecure etc) to, again, one of the most evil events in history. It's like she's never had to deal with any real hardship.
@Grungus Khan that evil event actually started with unlifing and punishment communists. That certain H man (I have to censor myself, thanks UA-cam) utterly despised them and they were his first target.
Right? Because being called fat and not being able to fit into a one-person seat is basically the same as being locked up, starved, forced to work, and then ultimately being put into a gas chamber and dying along with your loved ones (unless they died before you did, or you died before they did). 🙃
My dad had this exact same thought pattern as this "dr" until they had to amputate his left leg. My old man has been crying himself to sleep since then but I guess they don't talk about the consequences of disregarding your health for the long term
They do, they definitely do. They just don't want to take accountability for themselves and are perfectly content to emburden the rest of society and its healthcare. My mum is a nurse and the number of nurses who have injured themselves, because hospitals don't provide the right equipment for them, because these people are endless. Seriously though, when something is self inflicted like this they should be the last to receive treatment. Especially because they're taking up hospital beds that should go to sick people who had no choice in being sick.
When I was in hospital I had to watch an unlifing cancer patient sit in a chair in the corridor of the hospital ward because these overweight people took up the beds and there weren't enough to go around. There were not enough beds and no chairs that were big enough for overweight people to use, so they got the beds instead.
@@fawnieee nah, man. Most of them cannot face the long term, it’s an unfortunate natural coping mechanism of the human mind.

9/10 this angle is used so you can't see how big they are.
The angle game works both ways; can make you look better, can make you look worse.
Their rhetoric hurts fat people and that's the part that bothers me. Fat ppl deserve to make an informed decision on whether or not to lose weight. There is already so much hate/misinformation for people that are fat, so why as as a fat person, make it harder for other fat people??
Good point
Because her and other fat activists dont want to make that decision.
They dont have the strength to decide to try and change so instead they just make it "wrong" to choose. That way they get rid of the cognitive dissonance, they can eat as much as they want without feeling guilty
Because she wants other people to be miserable with her. Misery loves company.
i agree with everything you ssaid, just wanted to remind you that they are non binary
@@berg_ahorn thank u for correcting me
My grandmother died of complications of long term out of control diabetes. She was morbidly obese for years.
The last time I saw her she had both legs amputated to the hips. She died the next day.
Talk about motivation.
Similar for me concerning alcohol. Cirrhosis killed my father at 58.
Why do these people always insist that you must be unhappy if you are thin? Is it because they cannot think of anything worse than controlling your eating? Prime example of greed.
I was wondering about that too. Probably they identify happiness with food so the concept of being careful and not indulging yourself with anything you want, anytime you want it equals misery.
Nobody seems to take into account other things in life that can bring us happiness or simply the fact that some people genuinely like and enjoy their healthy food.
I think for people like her and all the rest of the Body Positive movement it's more easy to be the VICTIMS, because if you are the victim you don't have to do anything but just crying and sobbing about your "fate". They forgot that obesity didn't come one day in the morning to our bodies , we did something every single day of our life to became fat and they hope they can loose weight in a couple of weeks or months or without effort ????
Im currently overweight. Again. And it's hard to lose weight , sure . But I've been eating like nobodies business after i lost weight last time. Cycling 10+ miles every day and some more on the weekend allows to eat a ton. I think they confuse the necessary deprivation during a diet for a permanent state. You can't go back to absurd portions if you don't do lots of sports but feeling kinda hungry slot of the time isn't forever
It’s the same way they insist if you are fat you are also unhappy. Our society equates happiness with body type.
@@gur262 you don’t need to deprive yourself to lose weight. Eating low calorie foods that have a high volume and balancing macros will actually make you feel full. I’ve consistently lost 1.5-2lbs eating approximately 2k cal per day. I am also an avid cyclist and I do not feel deprived. I never cut out carbs, but did switch to a lower fat diet to accommodate dietary restrictions I have due to an illness I have. I eat a sorbet (45cal) or gelato bar (80cal) every single night; or perhaps some chocolate covered strawberries (45cal each). I am also AFAB & over 40. So the weight doesn’t always come off easily. But the main thing abt the idea of depriving yourself is that you will eventually not be able to sustain that. As your body weight goes down, you will have to work out more or eat less to continue to lose. They cut calories so much that they plateau & become hungry. Not depriving yourself makes you feel full and satisfied and less likely to overeat calorically dense foods. The only thing I restricted (nearly fully) was fried foods. I still eat almost everything else. I eat bread, cereal, starchy vegetables, etc. I just eat the processed stuff in controlled portions. It’s when you deprive yourself too much that you eventually break your self-imposed strict rules. If you allow yourself to have portioned controlled treats, it allows you to balance out your diet. I just hate this idea that we have to deprive ourselves to be healthy. In fact, I can have much larger portions now and I feel full, whereas calorically dense foods kept me hungry all the time.
“There are no academic articles that PROVE being fat is bad for your health” this is purely using wording to her advantage. She’s technically right, because nothing is ever proven in science. But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t overwhelming amounts of evidence in support of it.
its proven that her gravitational attraction is higher than that of normal people
@@Blox117 not really "proven" just factually right because of basic physics. But I could tell you that it's not proven and I would be right
@@kfkkfk7995 if you measure the force, then it is proven
@@kfkkfk7995 ok since you want to be technical, then the rate at which time moves forwards is faster closer to her than farther away. this causes objects to shrink asymmetrically and appear to 'accelerate' to where she is.
this is due to her large mass and influence on spacetime
@@Blox117 yeah, but the effect is probably too little to measure it, and you'd have to prove that it wasn't, for example, the wind that moved whatever object moved towards her, so it remains unproven. She could literally say that it's not proven and it would be factually correct
Fat and happy VS thin and miserable reminds me of something one of my friends who was addicted to cocaine would say.
Whenever I brought up his health he would go „I‘d rather be happy now and die at 30 than be miserable and kill myself within the next year.“
The scary thing is that he was convinced of that.
He truly believed there was no way he could live without taking drugs and that he would feel so horrible without he had no other option than to commit.
Also the whole „fat is my community“ thing is something he would also pull. His dealer was one of his friends, the people he got high with are his friends. They are the only ones who truly understand him, I as a person without an addiction could never understand what it’s like etc. etc.
They have an addiction and they are in deep denial. Even worse: they push other people into denial as well.
“I would never compare the holocaust…” as she’s literally doing just that. Wild.
And to that, I say to her F*off.

Off-topic though - you're looking absolutely gorgeous Kiera!

@@stina9659 trail of breadcrumbs?
it’s like they want people to be as miserable as them
It's also disgusting how the diet industry preys on people in larger bodies.
I think the key point is her admitting she had dreams of being a “famous weight loss doctor”. Clearly that didn’t work out due to her being unable to lose the weight. But fame can be found by going on tv and social media with an opposing view to main stream medical advice. Feed into the conspiracy narrative, be the outlier, act like a rebel as shows always want conflict as it gets ratings. Also, there’s no need to lose weight so minimal effort
I was literally going to come say this. They seem like a person who, when they don't immediately succeed at their lofty goals, just do a full 180 and embrace getting famous, or whatever their goal is, the easy way.
"I believed I had to do it the hard way" is an immediate red flag for me of that type of person, btw. The mindset out of the gate is that whatever they're doing has to be done the hardest possible way to be valuable, or not at all. This kind of thinking has deep roots in insecurity and this self-exceptionalist idea that they'll somehow, through outlandish effort, eventually earn their place among the stars. But only if they do the thing "the hard way".
More often than not, this means going in 120% and completely overdoing the effort, as if to rig the game against themselves from the beginning. They KNOW they will burn out, but because they went so hard for a while, they get to tell people it was impossible; they tried "everything" and it didn't work.
Mundane, boring solutions that work without fanfare but require months and years of diligence, of teaching yourself new habits and learning to find joy in them, are beneath their notice. Too dull, too miserable, too unremarkable, and worst of all, too demonstrably successful.
I may know a few too many people like this, and once upon a time, one of them lived in my mirror. Glad that person got his head out of his ass. :P

Ya that definitely should be malpractice
Only if she's telling it to her patients or giving individual medical treatment. General medical advice to non-patients is not legally regulated.

@@ghostratsarah I don't doubt that she might not actually be saying this to patients, because she seems like an opportunistic grifter, who doesn't ACTUALLY believe any of that shit.
One thing to bear in mind is that she appears to be a GP who are privately hired by her surgery rather than being hired directly by the NHS. This means it’s just down to the owners of the surgery whether to keep her on or not.

@@deanolium not entirely true. She still has to maintain registration to the GMC and they can strike her off the register. But she would need to be referred to them by fellow professionals or patients who’ve suffered due to her care.

She sounds like another emotional dysregulated grifter. They prey on vulnerable people desperate to hear a message that soothes their victim mentality.

I’ve been on a diet for 38 years without long term success. Now I don’t weigh myself, I go to the gym 4-5 days a week, and don’t freak out about food. After a few months, my jeans are super loose and my knees don’t hurt! I’ll slip into eating disorder behavior if I weigh myself and count calories. No pills. No shakes. No MLM. Just kindness to myself.
I both envy and respect you. I have to drink 1-2 protein shakes a day, because that's the only way I can get the protein I need.

This is fucking wild. If she were my doctor, I would still be wheelchair bound.
Losing weight not only helped me walk again, but it’s made a dramatic impact on my disease course in general. It’s easier to get past new disease attacks because I don’t have so much excess weight to carry around and can do more for myself to get through them. (I have MS)
I'm an actual male nurse and let me tell you, being fat and a medical professional, especially one as a nurse, it is not helpful OR good. My spine is in constant pain when I get overworked. My breathing pattern gets disturbed by overworking. My knees kills me from the amount of times I might not be able to sit down and relax. It really is a problem tbh. And I'm only 26.
At my local hospital, we joke that staff can identify each other in the wild through the "Hospital Walk" (incredibly fast speed walking). Keep fighting the good fight! You too have the power to become a lean, mean, speed-walking machine.

That “doctor” should lose her licence. You simply can not be spreading harmful rhetoric like this when you are a trusted medical professional. Opinions aren’t facts
Idk how things work in the UK but in the US there a plenty of doctors who run practices that are just "pill mills" and it takes a while for law enforcement or an ethics board to get involved since these doctors are unlikely to be sued by their own patients. With this doctor a similar thing may be at play.
@@redmaple1982 I dunno about US either but I do know doctors are paid bonuses by pharma companies to prescribe a certain medication over another. That’s a whole other ethics issue. This doctor is actively giving out advice that will negatively effect patients. This is a much more blatant ethics issue. You simply cannot say these thing without facts. Just like the “doctor” who said vaccines are linked to autism. She should lose her licence and be discredited just like him.
Oh I mean I agree that her advice is detrimental to her patients..my point in brining up pill mill doctos is that sadly there are a decent amount of people that maintain their licenses despite handing out harmful advice while violating the law..I'm thinking it more likely she will leave the NHS and opt for a less regulated job title like health coach
@@redmaple1982 in the UK you are adhering to a code of conduct and you are a professional first and foremost so if you are spreading false and harmful information it may well be against the code and subject to sanctions.

I've had a friend since high school. She was a big girl then and got even bigger through our 20s and early 30s. Her health had tanked around the age of 35, and everything was linked to her being morbidly obese. She had Diabetes, a fatty liver, suffered chronic constipation, high blood pressure and cholesterol along with a bunch of others. She needed to have a gastric bypass ASAP but she had to lose a few pounds first, and she did it. After her gastric bypass, as is typical, she lost weight rapidly and got more exercise. Once she got down to around 20% of her targeted goal for someone her height, (she's 5'10" so quite tall) all of her obesity induced health problems cleared rather rapidly. The same result when it comes to health happens every single day whether the person has a gastric bypass or not. This, "Doctor" is just such a pathetic excuse and an embarrassment to the profession. Everyone who needlessly dies because they listened to HER and believed her BS about obesity not causing other conditions.... well, she has their blood on HER hands.
If she was happy she would just be happy and live her life and laugh at haters. But she is obviously deeply insecure and unhappy and envious of fitter people, and masks that by pretending to address others' supposed bigotry. Not working.
my wife who I love very much has always struggled with her weight. She has now gotten up to 250lbs. She has started snoring and stops breathing throughout the night. She has very painful joints and can only walk to the park with our kids but not play like she used too. Her large breast are pulling on her upper back muscles causing her to have muscle spasms. She cries because she feels powerless over her food addiction.
This doctor is having some sort of break with reality and needs a well check pronto.
@Coach McDerp I did't get that vibe man. He said he loved his wife very much and she always struggled with her weight. I think he was getting at the fact that he's seen the really damaging effects food addiction and obesity can cause in someone he loves.
To the OP: good on you for being a loving man. Food addiction and obesity--like you've described with your children--can affect marriage in a plethora of ways from her premature death or debilitation to increased medical costs and less satisfying sex life. I'm sure as a supporting and loving partner, you know that it's just as important for your relationship as it is her individual success to help her live healthily and feel confident in her body.
You both sound like lovely people and I hope she gets some help that works for her. I have no idea what types of foods she eats, but I've experienced really awful addictive feelings from eating super processed junk-type foods, and it's honestly so scary how they mess with your brain. I can really relate to that feeling of powerlessness, you mentioning that is why I wanted to comment.
If those types of foods are something she struggles with, it's not her fault - they are designed to produce exactly that addictive response. Focusing on calorie density works super well to still eat a lot and feel full while losing weight. I hope she doesn't give up 💙
@@chriss1686 yes. thank you. sometimes I'm not very good at explaining myself. I'm not very good with words.
@@CapucineAbadie definitely. It is processed junk food. She's been learning from UA-cam about food addiction and hopefully there will be some progress in her diet. I've always helped her as much as I can but I can't make her choices for her. I can only support her.
@Coach McDerp We've been through it all. I support her as much as I can and yes I would never leave her. We are both happily married but I was just saying this doctor doesn't know what she is talking about. Obesity is debilitating and food addiction is real.
It's always weird to me that these people claim that the effects of obesity are due to weight stigma and weight cycling alone when we can just... look at animals. Your dog has no idea people think he's fat, but it still causes higher blood pressure, joint pain, cancer, and diabetes
I can't believe they are spewing that much misinformation. I'm only 10kg above my ideal weight and I get knee pain, can't imagine what that must feel like when you're severely overweight. Incredibly irresponsible, especially considering they are a doctor.
Who are they?
As someone from the UK, if she ended up as my doctor I would be seriously worried about her competence
It only takes a few minutes to raise a concern on the general medical council website. All you need is their name and gmc number shown at 2:43
It's better that people like this out themselves so we can avoid them
In college I remember a fat woman seeing a pizza box stapled to the wall in our lounge, and telling a Jewish woman in the room, "That pizza box is as oppressive to me as a swastika would be to you." That sense of persecution in some HAES community members is mind boggling.
Well swastikas aren’t really oppressive to anyone anymore so I guess the box analogy is pretty accurate.
I ironic thing is, is that when people try to make themselves dumber than they really are they often succeed.
I'm so glad people like you and Michelle McDaniel have growing platforms to combat this bullshit.
The HAES people always say things that take me right back to being suicidally depressed and using opiates. I remember having a thought almost identical to Dr Larmie's at the beginnning of the video- I'd rather use until I die of an OD than be sober and miserable.
Obesity is an addiction issue.
Exactly. At least society doesn’t pretend like being a smoker, alcoholic or drug addict is healthy. That is what makes this so terrible. Food addiction should be treated with the same alarm as any other addictions.
I actually was overweight I had you same thought on the addiction part of it.
At some point I was like "I'd rather dig myself a hole rather than make any effort to get out of here".
I got help, recovered from my binge eating disorder and food addiction, started a healthy diet and lost the excess weight, and I did that because at some point I was tired of sitting in that hole, and I had to break the cicle.
The way they speak really sounds dangerous on so many levels, it enables addictions and makes it sounds a lot like "hurting yourself is your own right", which is something I always told myself when it comes to addictions
What?! How is it an addiction issue, when there are so many different reasons people are fat..?
I love that your passion shines through in your videos. I love the way you edit and how straightforward and to the point you are! Just love your videos. Haven't seen a single one I haven't enjoyed.
so sweet
My great aunt passed away in her late 40's from complications from type 1 diabetes. She had an infection in her toe and some stupid idiotic nurse who knew nothing about diabetes pulled off her toenail and then wrapped the toe up in bandages. As a result of this she got gangrene and had to have her leg amputated, only to die of it anyway. Anyone minimising just how dangerous diabetes is are disgusting, and the fact that a DOCTOR would minimise the effects of diabetes is even more disgusting. She should be stripped of her medical license and never allowed to work as a doctor again. As a person who has been through medical school and passed medical exams, she KNOWS she is lying, and is doing it deliberately and maliciously for her own gain, while disregarding the health of others, since there are many people out there who want desperately to believe that they can just sit around eating crap and packing on the pounds and still be healthy, and will take her word as gospel.
I am extremely against any form of extreme closeup vlogging activism and camera-3-inches-from-my-face positivism. This has to stop!
Thank you for the video! I cant believe that person calls themselves a doctor.....
This so called doctor is out of their mind. I weigh 125 kg and trying to lose weight, I know the dangers if I get way heavier.
I went from the 270s to the 230s in my weight over the last few months, although I’m still obese and have a long way to go the, benefits of weight loss have been incredible. Things I didn’t think would happen like having more energy and getting better sleep have made my quality of life so much better.
Keep in mind. Being overweight but still eating properly, or at least keeping a high level of nutrition (and hopefully limiting sugars and vegetable oils) and staying active, does not mean being unhealthy... Stay close enough to that route and your lbs will keep dropping and u will b staying healthy 'enough'... Its about moving in the right direction and staying enough on that course
You say “benefits of weight loss”, but is the weight all that’s changed, or are you also eating a lot better and exercising more now..?
Or did you somehow magically just lose weight without making literally any changes to your life? 🤔
@@Kessiebear81 Obviously she made SOME lifestyle changes, whether that be dietary or exercising, or both. Its all about calories in, calories out. Shes clearly putting in the work and cutting calories someway.
i literally just saw them on my fyp and then tried to escape them on yt and this is the first video that i get suggested.. I CANT ESCAPE THEMMM
As someone in the medical field, this is just so infuriating. Basically, she's just telling people to give up on trying when she should know better by research of obesity. It does a lot of harm not only on herself but on others who will believe her just because she's a doctor. Straight up denialism here. Don't even get me start on "the whatever doing physical activity for the health" quote...
As a philosophy student who has to deal with the philosophy of science, this bothers me so much because the bar to "prove" something is unimaginably high, we have a lot of assumptions, we can create a model of best fit which we have yet to find anything that disproves it (because that is how science works, so technically we have never "proven" anything, we just have a lot of "yet to be disproven" statements).
It's just so obtuse and it directly impacts actual health outcomes.
I studied more of the hard sciences and even then most everything we learn is only a theory because we don't know what we don't know. Evolution is a theory, relativity is a theory, but while those havent been proven they have a mountain of evidence behind them. Also as an engineer her comment about knee pain not being caused by extra weight had me rolling though.
we can easily prove that she can clear out a fridge in under 5 minutes
I believe something if I see it with my own eyes, I see overweight people struggle (my 600-lb life) I was obese and struggled, I've seen autopsies with fat around the organs, and I've had family die from being obese.....so for me obesity being called healthy is the biggest pile of bulls*1t ever claimed.
@@RealityAlwaysWins like “sure I have knee pain and I also happen to be obese, but you can’t prove that it’s linked!” Well babe, you can’t prove that *not* losing all that extra weight will finally resolve your knee pan, now can ya? See for yourself.
@@minisn3066 mmmm except obesity wears out joins because it crushes the connective tissues, proven.
I believe the reason they tend to use statements like, “Everybody is against fat people” is because this kind of thinking creates an isolating effect. When we start thinking “me against the world”, I think it creates this distorted sense of reality. I went through this because of bullying and I started thinking the negative thoughts in my head were things people have said, but no one was saying anything. I think they even confirm this later by saying something like, “Fat people are my community.” To someone who feels isolated, this is probably one of the most important things to them.
Or it could be because being fat is the only remaining acceptable (socially and legally) form of discrimination, that is a constant and incredibly harmful (both mentally and physically.. and also sexually in many cases) for those who live with it - but of course you don’t believe it exists if you’ve never lived it
Welcome to the VICTIVISM movement . More easy than doing things for and by yourself, let's just blame society about our issues
I am a vet nurse. I work with animals.
I am also a feeder and I love feeding animals. I have to discipline myself.
Obesity is bad for their health. You know that if you work in medicine, because you see it. Even with animals.
If you have ever been involved in surgery on an obese patient, risks escalate. They need more anesthesia. The organs are pushed out of the normal place, and are difficult to locate and then access with all of the fat... the organs are bigger too because they have to work harder, and everything is more slippery. It makes it a lot harder to do a prompt and straight forward surgery and it means the patient has to be under anesthesia longer and they are also already more prone to problems with anesthesia. This is one thing in medicine that is undeniably effected by weight, and there are hundreds. It is what it is. How can you work in medicine, see it all the time, and still deny it?
Does fat phobia exist within medicine? Yes, definitely. Is obesity a major risk for your health? Yes, definitely.
My issue is with the manipulation of language. Simply attaching an arbitrary suffix like "phobic" or "ism" to a word doesn't insulate the topic from criticism. If fatphobia means overweight people not being treated with the dignity and respect afforded to every human by birthright, then of course anybody who isn't a sociopath would approve of that concept. But "fatphobia" as it's used by fat acceptance advocates is a blanket term that seeks to inoculate obesity from objective criticism and vilify their ideological opponents. Then it just devolves into jingoism and demagogy.
Well, if my options were "fat and happy" or "thin and miserable" I'd choose happy too. But my (and most people's) options were more like "overweight, sick, depressed and miserable" or "normal weight, healthy and happy".
These people became tragic jokes. Now we can't take them seriously anymore. We can only mourn the situation in silence.
worst is they take the spotlight from people who actually need the body positivity movement, like disfigured people and amputees
Speaking from personal experience, I imagine a lot of the more extreme fat activists (especially morbidly obese ones) are likely entrenched in the “denial” phase of addiction-or at least it seems that way to me. While being obese is certainly not a moral failing, I view it being on par with smoking: smokers shouldn’t be harassed or neglected by the medical system-smoking is often a coping mechanism-it’s highly addictive but completely legal-though addictive, it's still a choice (at least to a certain extent)-and its effects on your health aren’t immediate or even 100% guaranteed. Ipso facto, I think the discussion around being significantly overweight should more frequently be framed from a perspective of addiction support rather than traditional health, wellness, and fitness. Because while I’m sure there are exceptions to the rule, in literally every case I’ve encountered (including mine), if you’re 50+ lbs over what’s normal for your height, age, and body composition, there’s some underlying dysfunction going on, because you can’t sustain that kind of weight unless you’re taking in a LOT of calories. Like many personal trainers say: you can’t out-exercise a bad diet.
This is a really astute observation
completely agree, if someone is not addicted to food, they don’t feel the need to eat the calories to support an obese body, a body going on the recommended amount of calories can not be overweight. to me it sounds like drug addicts trying to explain why they need the drugs - the anger, blame and random explanations. i think it would be way healthier to address obesity as an addiction or mental health problem rather than a medical problem because more often than not unhealthy individuals have problems in other areas of life
I came here looking for this exact take! Thank you. Regarding the coping aspect, I fact, I think I heard somewhere that there is a really high correlation between morbid obesity and earlier childhood abuse.
As a Brit, I hate the way some brits talk in that arrogant, patronising, rude, facetious, saracastic way. It really is not becoming and makes this person even more unlikeable.
I'm a 4th year medical student, I spent the past year taking medical history from patients and even I can tell you that there's a clear difference between an average weight and an overweight/obese patient medically; they tend to have more diseases at younger ages (they mostly look older than their age too) and it's always them with worse prognosis and more post operative complications.
"It's a social construct"
Funny how you measure all other social constructs with social science studies but you measure weight with a scientifically calibrated scale.
Someone recently said they would rather be fat and happy and not miserable like me. I told them reducing my food intake is not making miserable I was just as miserable due to health issues before as I am now but at least I’m doing something good for my body.
Attention is one hell of a drug, and social media is it' s dealer.
Yup
How did she get a medical license? More shocking; how does she still have one?

She's a doctor, she has plenty of access to resources and seems resolute to ignore them
When you say "but" it literally cancels whatever you said before it
For someone who claims to be happy she doesn't seem very happy nor content with her life
When I got my first puppy, I asked the animal hospital vet what one piece of advice he would give anyone who wants their dogs to live long happy lives, he said, "don't let your dog get fat." Though I was surprised to hear his response, it makes perfect sense.
There's no way she can spread lies like these and still have a medical license. This directly violates the Hippocratic oath
Sort of a good example of how seemingly reasonable, educated people can absolutely become radicalized into belief systems based on community groupthink and echo chambers.
Unrelated but the whole conversation around the “obesity” paradox drives me insane. The “obesity” paradox actually means there is data to show that SLIGHTLY OVERWEIGHT people have lower mortality rates than other BMIs. There has literally never been data to support the idea that obesity is healthy.
The “obesity paradox” also tends to be more true for older adults. As in, older people who have A LITTLE extra weight far better than their thin or underweight peers. It has nothing to do with being obese or morbidly obese.
It makes me wonder whether the definition of “healthy weight” needs to be shifted a little. “Slightly overweight” now would be a BMI of 27 or 28. If people with this BMI have the lowest mortality rates, maybe the metric needs to shift to make the “healthy” or “normal” BMI range start at, say, 27. Mine is about 24/24.5 and I always feel like I’m too close to “overweight”. That’s not a good mindset.
@@sopyleecrypt6899 my doctor never said anything about my weight when I was in the 25-27 range. When I hit 30, we talked about weight loss and I got back down to 26. I feel a lot better, and my doctor is happy with that number… she didn’t tell me to go lower.
@@TextbookCommittee it's funny because I've seen studies that said slightly underweight individuals lived the longest 😭😂
@@sopyleecrypt6899 I've definitly seen good research that says for seniors (over 65s) being slightly overweight is healthier, because having more muscle mass is crucial to avoiding frailty and staying healthy in this age group.
For younger people, the 'obesity paradox' has been criticised on the basis that people who are dying due to conditions like chronic lung/kidney disease, AIDs, etc. are often underweight as a result of their condition, which then causes them to die, and this was not factored into the results.
However, currently both people who are slightly overweight and slightly underweight are indeed misdiagnosed as 'unhealthy'. This is because scale being used to measure them (the BMI scale) wasn't created for individuals, it was intended to be used to measure large populations instead. Which means people just out of the 'average' either side (both slightly underweight and slightly overweight) are deemed unhealthy when they're not.
I've had this also happen to me, just on the other side of the scale: despite eating 3 meals a day + snacks, and my family (mum, dad, sister) all being tall and thin, because I am very slightly 'under' on the BMI scale my doctor suggested I was unhealthy. I would have to be actively unhealthy to gain weight.
So if you shifted the BMI scale up it would still be innacurate, just for a different set of people.
Better to use the BMI just scale for what it was designed for (populations), and create another, more accurate system for individuals.
Edit: TLDR: shifting the BMI scale won't fix it, the BMI scale shouldn't be used by Doctors full stop, as it wasn't created for this purpose.
Love your videos 💕
I’m not all that surprised. I always say a degree is just a piece of paper and just because someone took a few classes doesn’t mean they’re an excellent resource in their job/career.
At the end of the day we’re all humans and there’s always going to be good/bad people in this world and in professions.
As a medical professional i am APPALLED
Edit: i recently lost almost 60lbs and i do have an eating disorder currently for the past decade. And as someone who has been both severely malnourished and have health issues because of that to being obese. Lemme tell u. My knees and stamina is better when im not big.
I had no idea how much 40 pounds was truly affecting my health until I actually lost it and saw and felt for myself the difference. There is a very real aspect of it that involves rejecting reality and therefore responsibility.
Doctors promoting misinformation about obesity needs to be stripped of their medical license
What's with privileged people's obsession with comparing every little hardship or push-back they have to the holocaust? This person had a downswing on their diet. I have depression. Downswings happen. Progress isn't linear, life isn't linear. A downswing is not an excuse to rationalize and promote self-destructive behaviors to the masses just to not feel bad about having one.
We love fresh new Kiana content ❤️
you know something is wrong when they equate eating healthy with being miserable.
they’re food addicts and will do anything to protect their addiction
UGH! My weight has been up and down all my life. It is SOOO annoying when people tell your how to lose weight, naming everything you've tried and keep trying. And also- "tough love" doesn't work. Respect and encouragement does.
