  • I hear this, but don’t think it applies for people who get into sports. My story is not common, but I get annoyed when people talk about how a non athlete could never make a significant difference in their caloric output.

    I fell in love with dancing, started doing it fourteen hours a week, lost thirty pounds without really trying, and had to start eating a lot just to maintain.

    If you’re young, not overweight enough to seriously tax your joints, and that sounds fun to you, see if there’s a kind of cardio that’s enjoyable for you. If you do end up getting into it, check with your doctor, because heading straight into ten plus hours of cardio a week can cause injury.















  • I don’t see it assuming scientists are all men. Women are just as capable of internalized misogyny and just as capable of being dense as men.

    With the willendorf Venus, it wasn’t until a woman who had already had children worked with it, that they suspected it might be a pregnancy self portrait. There had been women already there, but none who knew what a pregnant person looks like from that perspective.



  • I cut out dairy as a lifelong vegetarian a little over a year ago, and the biggest difference is my shits (I can’t digest animal fat very well, but didn’t realize that I also can’t digest animal based fats well either, so YMMV). I have clean, fast, effortless shits every time, and they’re huge (maybe you’re an adult, but there’s something satisfying about taking a giant shit for me).
