@csh97 I agree that it’s totally okay and often is belly fat, but roughly 80% of women have uterine fibroids (not to mention endo and aedno). The result of my fibroids is that I have a uterus the size of a six month pregnancy. I can feel/see the largest one protruding from my lower abdomen, so my uterus definitely sticks out and so do many other women’s.
Just for fun: what’s everyone’s favorite fitness/health “fact” that’s been debunked?

@notaperfectchristian The idea that sweat clears out toxins.

@notaperfectchristian My move was to just lay there and apologize to my liver
@jamsie I'm going to be a bit of an outlier on this one... With my eczema, certain foods cause a lot of rashes. When I work out when I'm a flare, I do get a full body rash and then much more calm skin within a couple of days instead of 7-8 days if I don't work out/sweat.
Am I just helping it metabolize differently? I honestly thought the sweat was helping move the things I'm personally sensitive to, out.

@notaperfectchristian I'm still on the fence about organic anything.

@youshaa I love @foodsciencebabe on Instagram for debunking a lot of fear mongering ideals we’ve become so accustomed to. I’ve definitely fallen victim for much of my 20s and still am trying to undo that conditioning as I am in my mid-30s now. I’m linking some clips and hope you find them helpful!

@notaperfectchristian That “1200 calories is equivalent to what a toddler eats, an adult eating that would be starving themself!”
It’s almost like toddlers are small people rapidly growing, and ideally someone eating 1200 is a small person trying to be smaller. Ofc non-petite / lightly-active+ people try 1200 and it does not turn out well for them. But a 1200 calories a day weight loss plan was never intended for those kinds of people.
The vast majority of people cannot sustain healthy weight lost at 1200 — hell, I’m 5’0” on a good day, and it’s too low for me (granted, I am active). And I don’t think any teenagers should be eating that low at all. But for someone like a sedentary 65 year old who is 5’0”, 1200 might be the margin they need to shed pounds. But don’t tell that to the people who are online toddler nutritionists.

@jaz2001 This one always upset me. In junior high i remember this poster with the various body types on it in our gym locker room! We were 12-13, even those of us with boobs hardly had a defined shape yet. And I distinctly remember one shape was considered the desired body shape. That shit was straight up harmful to young teens in the late 80s/early 90s.
@startupchristian I was a teen in the 90s and I’m glad I never saw that!
