Dieting messes up your body in so many ways.
As someone who has no appetite this was a good reminder to up the intake
> So much chat about the dangers of eating too much and crickets when it comes to the long term impact of eating too little.
She is NOT WRONG.
i wish i still had the cite but in grad school (~2012) i saw a study that ffound men are less perturbed by being *over* BMI than under, despite what you’d think based on models and photoshop etc… basically if you’re X standard deviations *under*weight, you’re MORE likely to seem unattractive than being many more in the other direction… basically the standard of beauty pushed by maxim or whatever isn’t rooted in reality of what men want.
so dont starve yourself!
off to drink some water, i am *hammered*
Holy shit, wow. I developed osteopenia in my early 20s (!) and we discovered it was due to, of all things, a vitamin D deficiency. Caused me serious bone density issues for near on a decade before we really got it stable and I had to go on some wild medications to do it. Shit’s no joke! I wish her all the best. That’s so hard.
