@distelfliege What do you have on hand? And do you want protein or is that unimportant? Cause I can make some recommendations for a very delicious version.

@Sparrow No wonder East Coasters feel like conquering Vikings when they go out there.

@Sparrow If New York Januaries weren't so horrifyingly cold, I would say that they're screwing themselves, but... well... we almost always have like 3 weeks of absolute nightmare weather here, so I think they're hip to what they're doing.

*looks at weather*
*looks at date*

Oh, so THAT's why this dance studio that normally charges $34 / class offers unlimited January classes for $139.

@ryusei Exactly. And our focus should not be on eating for appearance reasons, but eating for nutrients, energy, and (I believe) joy.

@ryusei And gaslighting! The information that they hand out is just straight up LIES, proven by multiple scientific studies.

I'm trying to find an article that's not full of other weight loss tips that references a study that completely refutes Coca Cola's claim that you can drink all the soda you want and just exercise to lose weight (because, uh, you can't), but they are straight up LYING to people!

"So why, then, are we so deeply invested in treatments that not only fail to do what they’re supposed to—make people thinner and healthier—but often actively makes people fatter, sicker, and more miserable?"

SPOILER: Because it's profitable to make everyone hate their body! $$$$$

The Weight of the Evidence
It’s time to stop telling fat people to become thin.

"Studies... repeatedly find the lowest mortality rates among people whose body mass index puts them in the “overweight” and 'mildly obese' categories. And recent research suggests that losing weight doesn’t actually improve health biomarkers such as blood pressure, fasting glucose, or triglyceride levels for most people."

"One of the principles driving the $61 billion weight-loss industries is the notion that fat is inherently unhealthy and that it’s better, health-wise, to be thin, no matter what you have to do to get there. But a growing body of research is beginning to question this paradigm."

"97 percent of dieters regain everything they lost and then some within three years. Obesity research fails to reflect this truth because it rarely follows people for more than 18 months. This makes most weight-loss studies disingenuous at best and downright deceptive at worst."

As the diet industry is (finally) taking a hit for how unhealthy and ineffective it really is, companies and brands are fighting back by repackaging their products as health food.

Don't buy it, it's just a diet! #NoDietJanuary

Diet Foods Are Tanking. So The Diet Industry Is Now Selling 'Health'

@cryptovexillologist I know exactly what you mean. I always feel like I *was* in the Inner Circle and then got left behind, even though I always leave the Inner Circle because I feel like I don't really fit there or I'm not really a part of it, even while I am. (I'm bad at believing I belong.)

@Sparrow Mermaid! I love that color. Go for the mermaid.
