Date: 2023-01-09 01:55 am (UTC)Yeah, the diet industry is shit. Like most fat people, I've dieted off and on and diets don't work. [Diets also flare my OCD and turn into a full-blown eating disorder, so I refuse to diet anymore.] I have so many rants about diets and the bad science that goes into them, and yet doctors still prescribe them and a lot of doctors are still hung up on BMI as opposed to looking at other facets of a person's health, and weight gets used as an excuse to not treat various health problems [including severe menstrual problems, I've been told "lose 50 pounds and your periods will get better" to my face by doctors when I had this kind of bleeding/pain when I was much thinner]. I'll get off my soapbox because I know I'm preaching to the choir, but I'm glad in 2023 people are starting to take it seriously that dieting is a big fucking scam.
