Is Fat Acceptance Healthy? | Dr. Shawn Baker & Josh

Shawn asks Josh if obesity plays a role in what he sees in terms of muscular pathology. Josh mentions that it's a hard conversation to have with patients who are obese and have knee pain, and he encourages patients to prioritize their health first rather than just losing weight. Shawn talks about how it's technically harder to operate on obese people and how it's harder to manipulate them during adjustments. Josh agrees and mentions that most people in chiropractic school tend to be physically fit, with only around 10% of his graduating class being overweight. Shawn brings up the issue of physicians promoting obesity and fat acceptance, which he thinks is nonsense. He talks about how pharmaceutical companies often bring treats for the office staff, and Josh mentions that he prefers meat to pizza and donuts.

When you privilege feelings over facts, the outcome is never good. Look at the biography of any great person and one thing becomes apparent. At a low point in their life, they confronted the reality of the situation, and their complicity in it. Then they worked to change it to become the great person that we admire. They did not revel in some comforting myth. They did not redefine their problem as a source of pride. They sought to overcome it. The effort to redefine obesity as something to embrace prevents people from reaching their true potential. It asks them to relish what is objectively a state of physical failure.

Let me just start by saying that I have yet to watch a second of this video, so if the rest of my comment has been addressed in some way I'll come back and delete this once I've watched it.

With that out of the way I have been almost completely clean carnivore two years in August, and I was healthy keto 7 months prior to that, and about a year before that I cut out all grains, seed oils, processed foods, and added sugars. I'm female, 5'2, and I'm still fat. I started at 254, lost 49 lbs, and then stalled. I IF, I've played around with my fat, I've tried eating less, eating more. I exercise five days a week. Strength training, because I have a bad knee and it's hard to do full body cardio.

What I'm trying to say here is I'm trying to do everything right and still fat. Fully obese. I'm SOOO much healthier, but I'm still fat. I hope no one in this video is going to tell me that I'm not "acceptable" because I'm fat. Surely who I am as a person is much more important than the fat on my body.

Edit: I watched the video and it wasn't quite the fatty hating video I expected, but I still really take offence at the term "fat acceptance". Surely we can do better than that. But I guess "bad diet acceptance" doesn't quite roll off the tongue.

Signed,
Your Fellow Carnivore Fatty

Not mentioning seed oils in this conversation is literally a crime.
