   it's amazing how you can instantly tell which celebrities take ozempic because it just wrecks you so hard, I understand the appeal of just quickly getting rid of weight if you're a massive lardass but it can't be healthy

     @druid even 1kg/week sounds pretty scary to me, I would like to get like blood tests and shit at that point
     
     it's fascinating to me how that happens. I've been a little pudgy in the past but it was just because of the nerd lifestyle, I've never viewed eating as a masturbatory activity. now that I've been exercising diligently it's actually a huge pain in the ass to eat enough. I've also noticed how little people actually know about something as essential as nutrition, I've done a bit of research to make sure I eat in a somewhat optimal way and I can literally read a paragraph from the most cited paper on a topic and the people I'm bothering with this at lunch will be like "lol that's not in the food pyramid"

     @sampo It's absolutely not healthy. Obesity is a spiral and a mindset: the fatter you get, the hungrier you get. This means nobody confronts it until they hit some kind of breaking point, and then they just went a quick solution - they want to expend willpower for a brief burst, like doing a uni assignment, instead of making the habitual changes needed to conquer overeating.
     
     Even most people who lose weight "normally" fall into this trap. They go for bullshit fad diets and when people who understand nutrition try to educate them, they view it as naysaying and block it out. Losing 1 kg/week is pretty much the safe limit, yet you'll still see people flex about how they lost weight three or four times that fast (for a brief period) before inevitably crashing / backsliding.
     
     Celebs could easily afford nutritionists and personal trainers. It's all mindset.

     @sampo Yep, just like knowledge of psychology, most people aren't really interested. Nutrition really only takes a week or two to learn to a decent standard for losing weight too.
     
     I have been everything from beyond morbidly obese to underweight. My weight has fluctuated a lot in my life, in part due to shit like trucking, but really, it all comes down to traumatic response. I was a healthy kid until my dad died when I was 8, then I started overeating. It's as you say, it turns eating into a masturbatory activity. The problem is that your stomach expands and feels empty all the time.

     @sampo @druid Yeah, food pyramid is essentially a fucking ad disguising as information.
