  • That sucks, so if american doctors are anti-fat which tbh i assumed anyway and say keto is healthy because of that, I don’t understand why you pushed back at me when I said it was unhealthy? I mean it sounds like we are both agreeing keto and fad diets to encourage weight loss due to body standards is bad so I’m not sure where the disconnect is happening.

    Edit: im guessing it’s because you see intermittent fasting as the same as keto or in the same vein, I don’t and my friends and bf who do it like it because it works for them (nothing to do with weight loss) and I think just deciding on your own vibe check that it’s a fad because of fat-phobic broken American healthcare isn’t very fair especially when america isnt the center of the planet. Different folks different strokes I guess.

    Edit to your previous messages edit i guess: people have been doing intermittent fasting for decades, it it literally not the definition of a fad like keto, also please stop bringing up only one side of eating disorders to make your points, like multiple comments now and your just rooting the argument around your personal experience, I’m trying to give examples from people around me for variety. What you have going on clearly sucks and i will listen to you vent all you want but stop vibe checking stuff thats fine for others just because it doesnt sit with you. Finally I’ve been bulemic and I’m at a good point now and I’m on the border of doing intermittent fasting (I have no hard rules like you insist apart from trting to not eat 6 hours before sleep) and I feel a lot better and it has helped me. Unlike fasting I like to have three meals out of habit/ritual/what other do and now and I’m not throwing them up. It annoys me how eating disorder discourse online is always centered around weight loss and fat-phobia from doctors and never about weight gain. Loosely following intermittent fasting for me gave me MORE freedom as long as I made sure to have two full meals. That’s how I got to eating and retaining food, by having structure but also the freedom to eat when I wanted. I don’t even consider it fasting, just ways I’ve tricked myself to eat and I’m now just below my heaviest ever hence I don’t really have any hard rules. Sorry if that sounds harsh i think i got a bit triggered, clearly I’m very privileged to have found the diamond in the rough doctor and I do acknowledge that and other stuff. I hope you are okay and I’m sorry if I’ve triggered you.






  • See you’ve described the keto diet there but I’ve known people practising intermittent fasting of just skipping breakfast or having a yoghurt drink and saying they feel great.

    Doctors say it’s fine and unlike keto it provides consistent results provided you keep up with it vs dropping weight and then gaining it straight like most fad diets do.

    I think intermittent fasting feels more a dietary routine/choice vs a intentional diet focused on specifically losing weight and I certainly don’t think it’s a fad just cos some infulencers jumped on it.









  • Multiple people in this thread my dude. This is what happens when extremism isn’t shut down.

    Edit: I was so harsh earlier, I want to say sorry. This whole thread was horrific to read and genuinely terrifying. Watching men decide for me or other women that we owe our abusers time to reform them and we are the problem for pushing back. It’s a lot. Its scary, it shows men haven’t learn the basic lesson we’ve being screaming for centuries “stop making decisions for us and taking away our agency”. A key lesson a lot of people in this thread could do with internalising imo.

    I think what you are doing to help big brother these peeps is great honestly.

    I just worry that without condemning it as the extremism it is, we get comments making a serious suggestion for sex coaches for incels in a supposed safe space for leftists. How does that happen?
