Hi Mastodon! I’m Ferdousi 👋
A #health educator fighting #weightloss myths.

👉 What’s your biggest health frustration?
(PS: My profile has a free guide on this!)

When the pandemic hit, I put on a ton of weight. It's been a long journey, but since summer 2022 (when I was at my heaviest around 320 pounds), I've lost over 80 pounds!

For a man of 6'3", I'm actually approaching what I'd consider a healthy weight.

I was able to lose the weight thanks to Noom. It set me on the right path, taught my healthy habits, and held me accountable. Not sponsored, btw.

“Am I the last fat person in America?” asks @damemagazine’s Kate Bernyk. She writes about the rise of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, the message that delivers to fat people — ”Your body is a mistake, and now there’s finally a way to fix it,” — and why she doesn’t want to take medication to change her size. “The idea of eliminating any kind of body should terrify us — not just because it’s wrong, but because it’s unimaginative,” she writes.

Dame Magazine - · Am I the Last Fat Person in America? - Dame MagazineWhat if I were the last fat person, walking through a world where my body is an anomaly, a relic of an era long past? Billboards and magazine covers show only one kind of figure—streamlined, uniform, medically perfected. Store racks are lined with clothes that will never fit me, because the industry has deemed bodies

A perk to losing weight that I didn't realize until recently -

Your shoes last longer.

I still walked a ton when I was about twice as much as I was a waiter, and stress walked when I wasn't at work.

I don't usually have a lot of shoes. I get one or two I like and replace them when they start falling apart.

A pair would last me about three months.

It's more like 5-6 months now.

Which makes sense - you put less force on your shoes if you weigh less.

Meghan Rosen: A shadowy market for weight-loss drugs has emerged online. Shortages and big price tags have driven patients to unconventional sources of GLP-1 drugs

"As of February 28, the FDA has received nearly 800 reports of adverse events linked to compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide. These reports aren’t proof of causation, but it’s possible some adverse events may be due to dosing errors. …"

Scientists may have identified a way to naturally regulate blood sugar levels and sugar cravings in a similar fashion to drugs like Ozempic. By increasing the abundance of a gut microbe in diabetic mice, researchers in China showed they can "orchestrate the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1),” a hormone that is naturally produced by the body and helps regulate blood sugar levels and feelings of fullness. @ScienceAlert has more:
