It's time for your annual reminder that going on a diet come January 1st is one of the worst thing you could do for your health. 95% of you will gain back any weight that you lose and 2/3 will end up heavier but THAT IS NOT THE POINT 🧵
Consuming less energy (calories) than you need has a profound effect on the body. To begin with, you will start turning fat into energy, which is the whole point, right? Along with the fat you will also consume your own muscle which isn't ideal but supposedly it's worth it.
But after a VERY SHORT period of time your body starts to panic. It can handle starvation (that's another word for calorie deficit) for a few days but not long term. So it does what it has to do to keep you from wasting away (literally, your muscles are actually wasting)
Can someone explain to me the idea of syns when it comes to sw..... I'm sorry, I thought a sin was, you know, murder. Not eating a dam cookie. Stop labelling food good and bad. All food has nutritional value and is needed. Yes, ALL FOOD! #HAES @antidietriot #bodypos #ditchthediet
The conversation went like this
Friend. Oh I cant have it too many syns it's bad.
Me. The food is bad Why what did it do to make it bad? Rob a bank? Hold someone hostage? Ohhh was it a bigamist?
Friend. You know what I mean
Me. nope I really don't, a cookie can not syn.
