Thread 🚨

2 years ago I was in a car accident that caused near paralysis of my right arm
Prior to that I had loved to exercise.

Throughout my life actually I love to exercise even at 350lbs
After my surgery I faced a complication, I had a collection and a possible infection

I was unable to move my arm to my head level for about 4 months after my surgery, I was finally able to move hand above my head one year later (about 16 months ago)…
I had to pivot around my disability…

I bought an assault bike and basically cut my routine to 4 15 minute sessions per week
Luckily my diet has kept me from massive weight regain

Yes I’ve had ups and downs

And yes my body composition isn’t prime time but im proud of myself
I continue to workout at home and now my kids join me as I’ve slowly expanded our home gym from just that lonely assault bike 2 years ago!
And my lifelong battle with obesity continues … now with 3-4 littles ones cheering me on

 Most people don’t know the real results of the Minnesota Starvation Study…

Yes, the men lost weight.
But they also developed anxiety, depression, binge eating, low libido, cold intolerance, and obsession with food.

Caloric restriction isn’t benign.
Let’s dig deeper… Image

 A new review in Nature Reviews Endocrinology exposes what calorie restriction really does to the body.
