There was a study done by the CDC and Kaiser Permanente investigating the link between adverse childhood experiences and poor health. The results of the study were so stunning that the man who presented the finding wept as he did so. The study came about as a result of the struggles a man had while running an obesity…

Once I've had an Aleve and the headache goes away, it's just this fuzzy feeling in my head. Also, food tastes amazing. I'm calmer because I can't really think clearly. What is even weirder is that I also feel this way about diarrhea so it's probably the dehydration making my head fuzzy. And I just love when my head feels…

Things I've given up: Vape/nicotine: It was a nightmare. It's was so hard. Hardest thing I've ever done. I don't even know the benefits aside from the known health ones because it took so long just to feel like a normal person again. All caffeine: For the first few days, I was sleeping as much as I could. I think I slept…

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how painful that must be. Have you read The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk? I do not know a single person with PTSD, myself included, who doesn't swear by that book. It is a game changer.

This is completely true. It's the source of that old mnemonic, "Steak before chicken, soon you'll sicken. Chicken before steak, we'll all die in an earthquake."

Mine is open but I'm very, very, very, very autistic seeming. It's not interesting. You'll be like, "Is this woman seriously eating that double spicy chicken dish every other day?" The answer is, yes, but that's only because my husband demands some variety.

Okay, I think a great many people do that. I bet it's very common. What i don't think many people do is have 6 meals, eat almost half the day's calories in one meal then spread the other half over the remaining 5 meals. That's what I'm calling odd. It would be pretty uncommon, I think. It seems to me like the author of…

You find eating like what simpler?

See, having half the day's calories in half the day's meals does make sense. That isn't what's happening here. You can speak for them because the whole day's menu is in the article. They have three meals and three snacks. Presumably this is over the course of the day. Doesn't seem like something you'd find people doing…

Why is this person spending almost half their daily calories on a chick pea curry and a pear? That's what confuses me.

Oh dear :/ That can't be fun.

My first thought was that this could be about the piriformis, not the sciatic nerve which runs through it. If your piriformis is inflamed, it may press on your sciatic nerve, causing pain. You may need to work on your running form. If you are mostly sitting when not running, that could be really bad for the piriformis.…

I'm with you as well. Sometimes, I'm equally hungry and thirsty and all I want is fruit. Because it's two birds, one stone.

What is kitten parenting? It's not the exact opposite,though, is it? It's the other side of the same coin. There is a great deal of overlap and careful differential diagnosis is necessary. Your friend needed a differential diagnosis and had a lot of trouble from not getting one. I had the same experience as your friend,…

I'm a bit flummoxed that so many people are jumping all over you for this, especially people with some personal experience with autism. What you have said here is correct. I thought I was ASD, myself. I did a massive amount of research on it. I fit so many of the criteria, I could be a poster child. The people in the…

This is just an infinite loop at this point. I have to break out of it.

I know addicts. They avoid situations where drugs are present and consider that a key factor in their continued sobriety. They also take full responsibility when they use. You can, and should, do both. We can, and should, talk about all aspects of the obesity epidemic.

No. You inferred that there is a concerted effort to make us fat. Since that idea isn't in the OP itself, that probably isn't what she was trying to say.

I don't think it is fair to assume she is talking about the 'secret plan' type of conspiracy. I think she is clearly talking the 'confluence of factors' type of conspiracy. Which is a valid usage of that word.

Nothing here disagrees with anything I have said. Food manufacturers spend billions of dollars figuring out how to get you to eat waaaaay more food than you would otherwise. Because that makes them more money. There are going to be loads of people who don't respond to the bliss point. There are also going to be people who…

They don't.

And I already explained the meaning of this. The way we evolved to survive and the way food manufacturers design food in order to maximize sales conspire to make (and keep us) fat.. That is true.

I did not read this whole thread but she did not say that in the OP.

I think this is equivocating. The conspiracy described by the OP is between food companies and evolution. So I don't think it is fair to assume she is talking about the 'secret plan' type of conspiracy. I think she is clearly talking the 'confluence of factors' type of conspiracy. Which is a valid usage of that word.

When everybody is disagreeing with a bunch of stuff the OP DIDN'T say, it doesn't seem like honest disagreement. It just looks like a bunch of people who desperately want to tell somebody she's wrong. Even is she isn't. And, when those people decide to disagree with stuff the OP didn't say by mocking the points she didn't…

Fish Taco. California Burrito.

This. Nailed it.
