Food for thought...

I’s like to point out that I think someone needs to educate authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman on a person’s healthy body weight when it comes to Raistlin Majere from Dragonlance.

According to his stats on page 22 of the 1984 D&D Module: DL 5-Dragons of Mystery, he’s 5′9″ weighing in at 135 pounds. They repeatedly hammer home how sickly, frail, and skeletal he his throughout the books like he’s something abhorrent to look at.

Well, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute’s BMI chart, our buddy Raistlin comes in at a 19.9 on the scale. On the lowish end of normal...

This leaves me to wonder how people viewed skinny people in the 80s with so many macho man bulgy muscle flicks like Conan the Barbarian and the like... Anyway, images as proof:

#dragonlance #raistlin #raistlin majere #healthy BMI #the dude is in the normal range leave him alone #these are the things that keep me up at night #I just thought I'd share

Is BMI the Best Tool to Determine Healthy Weight?

Body Mass Index is thus the ratio to body weight (measured in kilograms) to height (measured in meters). It is a simple numerical measurement that enables the classification of people on the basis of their body composition.

Understanding Your BMI: The Path to a Healthy You!

Maintaining a healthy body weight isn’t just about looking good on the beach (although that’s a nice perk!). It’s about nurturing a foundation for optimal health and longevity. One of the most common tools used to assess weight status is the Body Mass Index (BMI). But what exactly is a healthy BMI, why is it important, and how can we keep it in check?

my shirt that says "i don't have an eating disorder" has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

#text #(this is a reference to another tweet i dont have a shirt that says that)#ed tw #weight loss tw #talk about weight in general tw #like yes i eat the same thing almost every single day & have to force myself through every bite #no i dont have an eating disorder #i just have autism and anxiety and its making my life a little bit unliveable at the moment ❤️#i know i also have arfid which yes is an eating disorder but not like. in the way people probably think of if they look at me during #a meal and judge the way im eating and decide they think i have an ed (which i know is anxiety and nobody does that but still)#but i probably wouldnt get diagnosed bc im at a ''healthy weight''#even tho i know that for My Body it's not healthy . i was eating relatively well for a brief period of my senior year of high school #& very briefly my freshman year of college #and i got to around [number] both times #and they were both short periods of time so i still dont know what like. a healthy weight would be For Me and for My body #but i know a doctor would tell me my weight rn is Normal and Good and that if i gain weight thats Bad and Wrong #even though i am definitely not eating enough and not getting enough Fuel For My Body To Work Right #its such bullshit. also i hope whoever invented the bmi kills themself #Well anyway. swagever ive been eating one singular slice of pizza for half an hour so i gotta get back to that

I have something to say and it might be upsetting but

I'm really tired of this narrative that any attempt to deliberately lose weight is fatphobic and disordered

that counting calories or tracking macros or removing foods from your diet is automatically unhealthy and an eating disorder

I spent half a decade genuinely believing that "it's impossible to lose weight" and that "diets don't work" and steadily getting fatter. it made my life worse but I thought it was inevitable and there was nothing I could do about it. I thought that any attempt to examine my nutritional habits would be dangerous and so I just kept eating whatever I felt like eating or whatever seemed easiest and I kept feeling terrible and I kept gaining weight.

this spring something snapped in me and I decided I couldn't keep going on like this anymore. I was scared that I was doing something Wrong by attempting to lose weight, and I wasn't sure it was even possible but guess what, it totally is.

I started weighing myself regularly again and logging it on a graph.

I started writing down what I was eating in an app and looking at the patterns. I drifted back into a low-carb pattern of eating, as that's always been where my body feels best. For me, that looks like 50-80g of carbs most days, sometimes hovering closer to 20g/day or 100g/day for a week at a time.

If I genuinely want something, I eat it. But I discovered that sugar and sweets and pastries and even many complex carbs don't satiate me, but leave me wanting more and more until I feel physically stuffed but somehow still hungry and unsatisfied.

I also discovered that I don't actually need to force myself to eat if I'm not hungry. Spent years ignoring my hunger when I WAS hungry because I didn't want to put in the effort to get myself food, but also forcing myself to eat on days I WASN'T hungry because I thought skipping meals was bad and dangerous. Turns out my body is more resilient than I was giving it credit for. I have a whole lot of stored energy available, and I'm not going to starve if I'm genuinely uninterested in food and skip a meal.

I've gotten reacquainted with how hunger feels, and the ways meals tastes so much better when I'm a little hungry for them, and when they're the right macro balance that my body craves. Also it's incredible to not feel bloated and sleepy after every meal! I can eat enough to be energetic and refreshed but not feel lethargic and weighed down!

I've discovered that some foods I've been eating for years actually disagree with me quite strongly (looking at you, eggs).

I've lost almost forty pounds since May. I was obese class II and now I'm almost back down to only overweight. (Before you come at me about the BMI scale being flawed, the latest findings are apparently that it *underestimates* the number of people with unhealthy amounts of fat!)

I feel better in my skin. I feel lighter on my feet. I have more energy. I'm eating foods I like and that leave me feeling good. And yet every day on this accursed internet I see people saying that diets don't work and that trying to lose weight is fatphobic and that counting calories or weighing yourself is disordered.

I wish I hadn't listened to that for so long. It's probably going to take me another year to get back down to a healthy weight for my size, where I used to be. I wish I'd figured some of this out before I got so far away from that.

#diet culture #weight loss #bmi #obesity #macros #we live in a world full of ultraprocessed hyperpalatable foodstuffs that are literally engineered to override your internal signalling #in that context just eating whatever you feel like isnt gonna leave most people in a healthy place #some attention and intention are needed #rant #original post

saiki is my height but an entire eleven pounds lighter than me… even taking into consideration that he is a teenager, that is… small

#he needs to weigh at least eight more pounds to be considered quote unquote healthy on the bmi chart #not that that’s terribly accurate #but it does tell you how small he is #literally he is the size I was at 18 lol #114 lb almost 5’6 #i was underweight then whew

Society when my mother stops trying to lecture me, who’s on the underweight side of average, about watching what I eat

#if she categorises me as fat then it scares me to think about what she categorises as skinny tbh.#and its gotten to the stage where it just infuriates me rather than being hurtful #bc i know it's not true in any way shape or form #but i remember in high school i got this really nasty norovirus and lost a few pounds #bc i couldn't eat anything except for really light stuff for a few days #and i thought that was a good thing because it meant i lost weight without having to consciously do anything #AND GIRL #NO?????#FUCKING NO #LOSING WEIGHT FROM ILLNESS IS A B A D THING #me in high school: it's fine!! stuff she says doesn't affect me!!#me looking back now: oh. oh wow. holy shit #she told me the other day when i was eating a chocolate bar and i quote #“you're eating too many of those; your stomach is starting to hang out”#IM SORRY WHAT???? IF I FLEX MY ABDOMEN I CAN SEE MY FUCKING RIBS #IN WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE #please stop talking out of your arse and LISTEN FOR ONCE #and ofc she claims she’s just looking out for my health #but i have checked my bmi multiple times for this exact reason #and it’s healthy but it’s towards on the underweight end of healthy #and if i listen to you it ain’t gonna stay healthy for long let me tell you that #it’s insane it’s like she repeats words without even beginning to consider their meaning #and i’m so glad i can recognise that it’s bs and go on living my life #i spent the better part of my childhood not eating chocolate bc YOU made me paranoid #about even the ones that explicitly said they didn’t contain nuts #give me a fucking break.#she needs to realise that i live here out of choice. no longer out of obligation.#vent

Anyone else was extremely skinny all their life, but you started gaining weight very recently and now you have to constantly remind yourself that you can no longer lay on bed all day and eat whatever you want whenever you want like usual? Now you actually have to go to the gym like everybody else...

#I just experienced not being able to fit into old clothes for the first time ever and I did NOT like it #my bmi used to be around 16 until last year #now its 20 #which is completely healthy #but it happened so fast #and now I'm worried that it will continue rising and I will not be able to stop it #like I'm new to this whole diet and exercising thing #whelp I guess I had a good run #personal

So on a general mental health screening in Hungary if you're not in unhealthy underweight bmi territory they won't even ask you further anorexia diagnostic questions. Fucking outdated.

#doesn't affect me much because i don't think i'm anorexic #but like... an overweight person can also develop anorexia and might die before loosing enough weight for their bmi to be too low #and i even mentioned to them before that i go longer periods without eating enough to maintain basic cognitive functioning #so uh... that should've at least made them ask?#like that's one of the deadliest fucking mental illnesses and you will completely skip the diagnostic questions??#and my bmi is the lower end of still healthy even so...#anyway i'm not mad they aren't diagnosing me with anorexia cuz clearly i'm not anorexic #but they don't know that!#rambling

anyway yeah now that i’m thinking about it i have made a lot of improvements surrounding my own body image. proud of me lol look at me go

#talking about food and exercise stuff past this point #honestly it is a miracle my relationship with food isn’t weirder than it was all things considered #but i still remember paraphrased convo i had with a nutritionist a few years back when i talked about my weight #she straight up asked me if the number was the issue or if i would care less about the number on the scale if i knew i was being active #and like damn. literally so true #didn’t fix everything but it has changed that relationship with myself a bit #i have the body type that i will likely never fall into the ‘healthy’ bmi range #(fuck bmi but that’s a different rant and tangent’#so definitely it would be sooo unsustainable and miserable if i focused on numbers #instead getting involved in sword club and fun sports classes has been much more beneficial #my weight is roughly the same but i don’t get as tired when swinging around a longsword #and that’s way cooler than trying to force my square body into a circle hole. you know #does this make sense is this coherent #anyway. hope this can maybe help others who are in similar spots #your body isn’t for other people it’s for you to do what you want with it #uriel posting

Can you just let me be “unhealthy” in peace? Am i not allowed to exist as an unhealthy person? Am i undeserving of love and medical attention because of that?

Like fuck, you really hate anybody that isn’t super thin or athletic for someone who says they are just “caring about my health”

#fatphobia #mini rant #im just sick of people posting online about the fucking bmi and saying all this crap about healthy vs unhealthy #and they literally ONLY every focus on body shape #if i tell you that counting calories makes me not want to eat At All THAT IS NOT A GOOD THING #Why is mental health and even ACTUAL physical health(the thing you supposedly care about)#given a back seat just so we can be healthy aka thin?#for fucks sake!

Little achievement: I am currently working on gaining weight with the help of a dietician (because I dropped back to 41kg in the last few months), and I gained 1,6kg within a month, and that is quite an achievement for me 🤭.

#I still have a long road to go #A healthy bmi is around 50kg for me #I just dislike eating #I always did #so while there is improvement it is still a challenge for me to keep this up #Underweight #Weight Gain

Fast And Simple Weight Gain Tips - Continued Part 2

This article is a continuation of my previous post on weight gain tips. If you missed that here is the link.

Here are 5 more weight gain tips to help you with your weight gain goals.

Weight Gain Tip 6 — Plan Ahead

To see results when gaining weight requires patience. If you are following the correct ways to gain weight healthily then you will see a gradual increase in weight.

You should try eating every 2 to 3 hours. However if you are unsure what to eat for your next meal you may go too long without eating.

So plan and make a list of nutrient and calorie dense foods or meals.

Weight Gain Tip 7 — Gradually Increase Your Calorie Intake

If you don’t eat enough then your body will not be used to eating a lot of food. So take your time as you begin to increase the size of your meals.

Take for example a toast. If you are having one slice for breakfast then try two slices next time.

Eating one egg then try two eggs next time

It’s all about small changes now adding up to huge changes later.

Weight Gain Tip 8 — Eat More Protein-Rich Foods

Productive weight gain comes from increases in muscle mass.

But to do that, you need to supply your body with plenty of protein — the macronutrient which provides you with the building blocks you need for muscle and every other kind of lean tissue in the body

A protein powder supplement is also a convenient way of adding more protein to your diet.

Weight Gain Tip 9 — Eat More Than Your Body Burns

Did you know that every time your body makes any movements, it loses calories? Of course this also depends on the lifestyle you are living and how active you are.

If you are living a busy and hectic lifestyle then your body is burning lots of calories.

For example, if you ate 1,000 calories and, then went to the gym and burnt 1,000 calories then you are back at square one.

Yes that means nothing.

If you are not gaining weight then you might be eating less than your body is burning.

Weight Gain Tip 10 — Exercise

The fundamental thing you need to keep in mind is that if you want to get bigger, you need to get stronger. Some exercises are better suited to help you achieve that than others.

As an underweight individual just starting out at the gym, focus on compound exercises such as:-

Barbell rows Bench press Deadlifts Pull-ups Overhead press Squats

These exercises should make the majority of your training, and your goal should be to get stronger on them progressively

You will be sure to stimulate muscle growth, and, by extension, healthy weight gain

Of course, good nutrition is essential for weight gain, and you can’t disregard it on your journey of getting bigger.
