Nutritionists are without exception evil, cheating, lying, scamming quacks.

it’s a simple tank suit with a built in shelf bra (which doesn’t do a thing to hold up the girls but keeps them squished at least).The bottom is a lovely cobalt blue, which shades up into a pretty tealy-blue, with bronze-colored studs in various sizes of circles and rings.

“There’s no interaction between BMI and obesity…”

should be

“There’s no interaction between BMI and exercise level…”

I read the study itself, and while not qualified enough to understand it in full, it seems they did/found some interesting things:

- Self reported, obviously an issue.
- Seems they used only the originally reported information for diet and exercise and did not account for changes over time.
- They used categories for exercise and BMI rather than linear data to make it easier to formulate policy and to manage.
- No increase seen in some heart conditions (MI) for active obese people.
- Looks like they found that normal weight active people in some cases increased their risks by exercising in certain bands.
- They didn’t look at anything beyond the recommended level of exercise e.g. what if people did twice as much (as seems to be required to “maintain” weight loss in some other studies).
- When they didn’t get the results expected/wanted, they claimed the study was “underpowered” for that data.
- The overwhelming result seems to be that doing some exercise is highly beneficial for obese & overweight folk.
- There’s no interaction between BMI and obesity (I think that means that they found that exercise does not reduce BMI??)
- They postulate only one causal theory for why obesity would increase cardiac risk factors, but not many possible other such as:

— perhaps obese women are likely to attempt repeated dieting, which itself is harmful to cardiac health
– perhaps obese women suffer increased cardiac risks due to chronic stress arising from fat phobia in society.

Anyway, I’ll be really interested to see what JFS says.

1. Have programs that teach kids how to exercise and be healthy, without thin being the ultimate goal.

2. Not teach children that bullying other fat children is helping them to be healthier. If hate made people thin nobody would be fat.

3. You realize that people come in all shapes and sizes, that’s reality. That until people come to your door with a funnel and a tube connected to a barrel of foodstuffs, you do not know what it’s like to be persecuted for your natural body size.

a) Promote eating healthy foods (not mentioned how they define those)
b) Promote increasing activity
c)Critique the idea that being thin leads to happiness

Leads to a lower risk for young women in the next three years of both developing eating disorders and becoming obese.

The release particularly specifies that it’s the first such intervention to have good results. It’s from a specialist in ED, not an obesity researcher, so perhaps that’s why it’s more sensible than the CI/CA type of things so many programs cultivate.

So, if you do two things from HAES, critique the thinness ideal and get more exercise, it’s good for young women.

Who’d'a thunk it?
