The Rise of Fat Positive Doctors & Therapists |

i think that the people and doctors who are against diets and exercising are lowkey really jealous about those who can move freely and actually support their own weight. Seeing how this doctor went through a diet to lose weight and couldn’t keep it... it makes me think they're all faking till they belive it 😂 or maybe till they encounter reality.

Watching this while enjoying my avocado and omelette ☺️

I was craving Doritos so I'm so glad the chip segment came up when it did 😭😭😭

thats a wide margin if they are part of it tho

They just want to take others down with them!

As someone who had a best Friend struggling with weight for all his life it's really appalling to say fat is healthy. No matter how we supported him with a healthy intake of calories, he couldn't stay on any diet. His favorite were sodas and processed food. To show him how much calories he had a day we added all the food of one day : 8000 calories. He was shocked, because he always said he wasn't eating much. It wasn't really the food, it was the drinks. Anyway, he is full in a depression and gets fatter every day.

These people are delusional and don’t want to hear anything that says they need to stop with the fried foods. I used to be 300 pounds and always sick and depressed and tired now I’m 155 pounds and 300 pound me feels like a completely different person

For someone who claims to be happy, they sure do present themselves as angry, raging buckets of woe.

A lot of people who cannot lose weight might have an underlying health issue. Don’t make them hurt themselves.

I lose weight recently and it’s been difficult to not feel more defensive and unsafe. Fat can make you feel more protected. That’s the idea.

There’s no evidence that being a heroin addict causes health problems. See how stupid that sounds? It’s just addicts in denial.

The fat doctor is helping with overpopulation ❤❤❤ rooting for her <3

Honestly I just think there's issues with western medicine overall..... I'm not fat and they discriminate against me all the time😅😅 I do also think that in some of these cases But I know one person whose Had this happened to them.... Even she though lost weight too LO. L.😅😅😅😅

Exercise is so good for you i dont understand im literally watching this while getting ready for my morning skate. The only risk I've ever had happen during working out was a broken ankle. But it was my own damn fault for not getting new skates.🤣

Exercise decreases risks of depression and makes you feel better about yourself. Plus its good for you all around that mixed with eating healthy.

One of the first people I knew who died when I was a child was my mom's best friend Judy. She had diabetes, and her doctor told her she had to watch her diet, lose weight, and try to live healthier. She refused to listen because she didn't care. And mom lost a best friend.

"You can change your behaviour, you can't change your weight" was WILD 💀

how is that a doctor

That "doctor" has the most malicious looking eyes. She genuinely scares.

I’m not fat phobic, at all. But I have horses. Weight limits for horse riding, are for welfare only. So you don’t hurt them. If you don’t agree. Swap places with the horse. Let him ride around on your back for an hour. See how you feel next day.

Love luffs to your pug. She should be featured on her own videos! ❤

Nah i went to the doctor last week, i was STOKED to step on that scale and show them i had lost 124 lbs. They actually thought aomething was horribly wrong losing a significant amount of weight i just said i worked really hard. (It was over an entire year)

The thing is that being fat wouldn't make you sick if you were fat by eating healthy food. The thing that makes you sick is the yunk food. You can be skinny and have diabetes and heart disease a s high cholesterol from eating junk food. But really, can you be OBESE by Not eating junk food? Not likely lol so thats why being fat does make you sick, because its the junk food doing it, it makes you fat and sick. Its not that hard to comprehend. Those people are delusional.

Sometimes I watch these videos because it tells me I'm still a step ahead from people who are not trying. Still positivity in a way :)

I'm younger and originally at age 12 I was 165, miserable and sad. Now I'm 13 and 125 and so much happier, life couldn't be better and I have a lot going for me. People just can't give up

DYE...YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

Absolutely breathtaking! This content is top-notch. I recently discovered similar material, and it was mind-blowing. "Your Body Your Temple" by Sophia Wintergreen

Its very hard to believe anything they say when they start with "fat women" as if there arent fat man with the same problems. Also if youre scared that the doctor mentions your weight to meadure what wrong with you then lose weight. I guess they naver gave 1 thought in the direction that doctors dont ask thin ppl about their weight because their weight is healthy. And i dont mean being underweight with slim i am talking about being in a weight where youre like with a little fat but still appear thin.

I would love my doctor to tell me to lose weight or ask if I wanted help with weight loss. Instead what I get is, "Well, it's not always weight that's the problem" or "Only lose weight if you want to". I know I need to lose weight, my knees and feet tell me after a long work day. I would love a doctor to just be up front and not seem like they're pushing drugs.

I usually don't comment on videos but I have in this one because I just can't deal with this... I am doing a degree in Biomedical Science and, to me, it seems like this woman has never taken an Anatomy class or a Physiology class in her life! It irks me how someone who supposedly is a doctor and has a degree in Medicine can say stuff like this. I swear, I am doing my course and you hear of scary things... It was what I needed to start fighting again against my BED. And I am not giving up again because I am doing this for future me, and future me is going to be thankful. You can avoid, reduce the risk, or better your chances of cure for so many illnesses by just having a healthy lifestyle (balanced eating, exercising, getting some sunlight, a good sleep routine) and being on a healthy weight and body fat percentage. If you can give a better card deck to your future, why don't do it?
On my first day of class, when I started, my professor said the following: "Too much weight puts too much pressure on your joints, leading to early damage of the articular disks, elevating the risk for other conditions in the future". FIRST.FUCKING.CLASS! or, for example, "obesity is a state of permanent inflammation that disturbs the body's homeostasis (balance), elevating the risk for mutations to happen, potentially leading to cancer".
And I just want to lean in a bit on the cardiac remodelation thing. Cardiac remodeling is defined as a group of molecular, cellular, and interstitial changes that manifest clinically as changes in size, mass, geometry, and function of the heart. Basically, changes in the heart. The heart is a muscle. The reason for cardiac remodeling in athletes is that they put themselves under situations of physical stress that make the heart pump faster. Do this for a long time, and the heart starts changing, causing, most of the time, some hypertrophy of the left ventricle (the one that pumps blood for the whole body). This is what makes athletes have a slow resting rate because now the heart doesn't have to make as much effort as before to be able to pump the necessary blood. And you don't need to be a competitive athlete. Someone who exercises regularly tends to see this effect on themselves. Basically, your heart transforms itself in a way that it is no longer under so much stress while you exercise (one of the many wonderful things your body can do).
And I want to say that no one considers top athletes (I'm talking people like Usain Bolt, Eliud Kipchoge, Brigid Jepscheschir Kosgei, Nadia Comăneci, professional bodybuilders, competitive swimmers, etc) the example of health. They are people who put their bodies under an extreme amount of conditioning to be able to make those records and to be able to perform at the top ability for their sport. High-level sport is not considered healthy. Exercising is healthy, moving your body is healthy. Go for a walk, do a dance class, cycle to work, run a bit...
Obesity also puts a strain on the heart and causes cardiac remodeling. Excess weight causes cardiac remodeling because your heart has to make more effort to pump the same amount of blood. The difference between these two: an athlete's heart isn't under pressure 24/7 and an obese person's heart is.
And health is very easy to define: a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.

P.S. I'm sorry about the rant but I was almost dying inside hearing that "doctor"

As a type 1 diabetic that has no choice but to have it for the rest of my life, I couldn't imagine willingly being diabetic(type 2) from obesity. Diabetes fucking sucks.

40kg loss in one year is almost impossible if youre using healthy methods. I lost 20kg in 11 months and i was following a diet plan, did weight training 3 times a week and cardio 3 times a week to better my health and the effects were amazing. And they will last! Because i started alowly and build the routine from 0. No one can just jump in the middle of it and start doing everything at full volume immediately. That will burn anyone out and make them hate working out. It would never last. For the first month, all i had to do at the gym was to GET TO THE GYM. No matter what i would do there, it was enough just to get there. Next week i started to do some light lifting. Ect. Its all about building up the routines.

Those "Fat Positive" doctors should have their licenses revoked. They're violating the "Do No Harm" part of they Hippocratic oath - by spreading the lie that being fat is healthy and okay and won't harm anyone's health, they are harming their patients and anyone else that listens to their absolute nonsense. They should have their licenses revoked and have to put a disclaimer that they had their license removed for spreading misinformation on every video and post they make.

"I'm in danger because I'm oppressed by not having food and housing because I'm fat!"

Is fat. In a house. Clearly having internet access and the ability to make and edit videos. Yeah uh...no one's buying that. No one is buying that you can't get housing or food because you're fat, especially when you clearly have housing and are - y'know - fat. So food is obviously something you have access to. Yes, I am aware that it's highly likely for poorer people to have problems with obesity because of the quality of food available for cheaper and how processed it is - I live below the poverty line myself - but if she's a doctor the way she claims and taking care of so many patients, I doubt that's an issue for her.

As a doctor in internal medicine I can tell you that obesity is related to so many! medical conditions, that “doctor “ in the UK is delutional or does not know how to read a medical paper. There’s people that is obese and don’t have health problems NOW but no doubt overtime they have higher risk of diabetes, hypertension, cancer, joint problems etc etc.

My dad was just diagnosed with diabetes and my whole family is horrified, especially my boyfriend who’s very close with my dad and had lost several close family members to the disease. Their comments are extremely insensitive and rooted in complete delusion. Diabetes is absolutely no joke.

Im a baker, fast food isnt the villain, its the 12 god damned croissants i made on saturday. Having croissants in every meal is the future.

I mean ive been dealing with about 4-5 drs ober the past 3 years when i first broke my abkle. Also had 3 surgeries. Never was my weight mentioned and im around 190 so im definitely chubby. One of the drs i seen is actually fat too lol

You know what else leads to the death as well as the exercising? Air.

I was recently diagnosed with PCOS at 22 and I was both relieved and distraught to finally have a diagnosis for my body. I love my gynecologist and shes super sweet but I hate that she kept telling me it was basically impossible to lose weight so I shoukdnt try or worry too much. I've been overweight my whole life andsomething snapped. At that doctors appointment i was down 15lbs and I was staring at her and feeling slightly betrayed that she would say that 😂😂

I'm now almost 20lbs down with 35lbs to go!

I have chronic health issues. For the first time, my doctor mentioned that my weight is making it worse. He seemed almost scared to bring it up. But Jesus dude, it’s true and I needed to hear it. It’s a sad world when a DOCTOR is scared to give health advice

Fat UK Doc literally says “there is no proof weight gain is correlated to diabetes or any other conditions” then say she “doesn’t care if she gets diabetes or heart disease from being obese because eating healthy food causes her misery.” This is a human starburst a true dramatic contradiction.

There should be a way to check & see if she still has her license. There should also be a website to file complaints,if both of those are true & she still has a medical license we need to file as many complaints as possible. She’s literally promoting death & spreading horrid misinformation!!
Edit:(I’m taking abt the “fat doctor” person)

The only thing I trust with the cutefatqueer counselor is that she is able to do good lips makeup 💄

"The Fat Doctor" - after she lost some weight - looks a lot like Super Nanny!

I will never believe a TikTok doctor ever again, I’m pretty sure most of them didn’t even go to school period… which wouldn’t be an issue if they weren’t pretending to be giving medical advice

where did this doctor get their degree from though? xD

weight is not a behaviour, eating is just like smoking
