My Response To Fatphobia Claims

I was scrolling through reddit today and came across this post saying I have “fatphobic tendencies”. This was really hard for me to read and caused me to take a critical look back at my previous comments regarding obesity, bariatric treatments, and diet recommendations (Keto, intermittent fasting, vegan, etc.) Our culture demonizes people for their weight, from rogue marketing pushing “ideal bodies” in media to a lack of representation for large bodied people on stage and on screen. That being said, I am a doctor, and my job is to help people live longer, healthier lives, and often those results can be achieved through a variety of tactics that will reduce the weight of people who suffer from obesity. It’s a fine line between helping my patients and making sure they don’t feel judged or criticized for the way they look, and I’m working hard to get it right.

Keto, IF, etc. are all diets which that subreddit - a subreddit for many people recovering from eating disorders - was against. The fact that he tried these diets is a supporting point in the post because it can be triggering for people recovering from eating disorders, many of whom would hope that a doctor wouldn't advertise them. I'm not taking a stance against Doctor Mike, but the feelings the poster had were valid considering the location of the post and the mention of those videos didn't weaken the argument at all.

@Hi_Im_Akward 2 месяца назад

There is a small group of people in the body positivity movement who legitimately think there is nothing unhealthy with being fat. I've seen it go as far as shaming people for losing fat for their health. But body positivity isn't about saying being fat is healthy, it's about recognizing that fat people are people with value and worth. And yes, you can be, by all measures healthy and overweight... But all the evidence points towards the fact that it causes stress in all the systems in the body and eventually leads to disease.

Yes although that’s not what they said. I wholeheartedly disagree with what they said but they used the term fat phobic not fat shaming. The difference is that fat phobic is the notion that one fears fat people so to them they shouldn’t be a thing, i can see why this vision could be attributed to health professionals as doctors would normally never advise one to be overweight or stay overweight for obvious health reasons but i mean that’s the point of their profession, no one should blame them for promoting a healthy lifestyle with healthy life goals and them doing so doesn’t mean they are judgemental either so their stance on the matter is just stupid to me.

It's bc of the pressure society puts onto people to achieve the desired body or "body goals" and it's talking abt appearance. Loving yourself genuinely imo is taking good care of yourself, eating what's best for you, getting exercise and sleep and just listening to your body's needs in general.

I just think there’s a possibility that this person just took it personally because maybe they’ve heard it before from people who aren’t actually knowledgeable and since he’s not their doctor, they felt like he made blanket statements (which may or may not be true, I haven’t seen many of his lifestyle type videos).

I’m on the fence with this. Do I find it okay for random people to be telling a doctor they’re wrong? No, not really. But does this mean the doctor is always right? No. The last time I was seen by a doctor, he asked me when my last period was. I’m obese and have irregular periods. Usually, I get a period once or twice a year. Been that way for a long time and no other doctor I saw didn’t find it alarming. But this guy, a professional doctor, told me if I was pregnant and kept pushing that thought on me. “Are you sure you’re not pregnant?” No, sir. I’m a Virgin and have never even kissed a guy, let alone touch one sexually. I was nineteen at the time and so many people find it alarming to see someone my age not sexually active... on top of that, I’ve had doctors put their own opinion on me. Whenever I get sick and cough really bad, I use the Z pack which helps and generally takes it away within a week. One doctor I saw told me that it doesn’t work and prescribed me a bunch of medicine that took three times as long to heal. And finally, my sister has a heart condition and was seen by over a dozen doctors who took every test in the beginning. She couldn’t walk or stand, threw up every five minutes, and she fainted like three times a day. For a whole year, none of the doctors at the hospital knew what to do and told her that’s it’s all in her head and she should stop stressing out and take aspirin. She moved to another state and her boyfriend took her to another hospital where a year later after all that, they found out what was wrong with her and treated her correctly. So yeah... some doctors shouldn’t be in the medical field.

And my obgyn refused to give me any form of contraception unless I lose weigh. She said that straight to my face. Literally the first thing she said to me, even before any form of check-up. And while I know all medications are counted per 1kg of body weigh and too much can hurt, or just simply be ineffective... Well she could use at least different language. Cuz I knew that and I was hoping that as a medical proffesional she could see more about me and help me find a solution. It was my first visit there years ago and I am very much afraid to go anywhere else again just to hear the same thing. I am struggling with that weighloss process and those comments are not helping.

I mean the whole point of the checkup is to talk about my overall condition. But I don't want to talk about my weight when I'm there with something acute that is not related to my weight when I know the doctor already. So if I'm there because I have an infected wound I don't want an assessment of my weight but if I'm at the gyno and they tell me I have high blood pressure than yeah absolutely do, that's the doctor's job. Just show a little compassion. So I don't get this criticism here either because as an obese person I never felt doctor Mike being fatphobic. I also don't get what's wrong with intermittent fasting.

Why do some people act like having a high amount of fat isn't a detriment to your health? He just wants people to be healthy.

@consultantadanemarca2132 3 года назад

Because of political correctness. I am fat, I don't like it, but I do not mind if someone points it out. If there is someone who says that fat is healthy....get your facts in order. I don't sleep well, I can not move well, i get tired very quickly and I am "just" 10-12 kg overweight. In some more years doctors won't be allowed to tell you that you have cancer, because it will hurt your feelings.

@Lindseyisloony 3 года назад

It's because some people only achieve body positivity through denial. That is the #1 reason right there. A lot of fat people are completely aware of the very real health risks that come with being over weight and for some of them that makes it really hard not go through life hating that extra weight. Some fat people want so badly to feel good about their bodies that they strive for body positivity in the most mentally (and physically) unhealthy way possible, which is denial. This denial is a process that usually starts by looking for other fat people who have already achieved some level of body positivity. They observe these people and weed out the ones that take the "body positive while working to be healthier" approach because having to address the health aspect gets in the way of the goal. They then start focusing on fellow fat people who adamantly insist that they are perfectly healthy and who tend to cite bogus medical articles as their justification. Body positivity without denial DOES exist but only when people have psychologically healthy reasons behind it. People who just want to be told that they aren't actually unhealthy so that they can feel good about what they see in the mirror are the people who throw around "fatphobic" and insist that anybody who claims to care about their health is a liar who just hates fat people. Their friends and family can have been expressing concern for their health for years but as soon as they achieve unhealthy "body positivity" through denial they suddenly accuse those friends and family of just hating fat people. It's a really big problem that's becoming more and more common as more and more false information is spread. It's very unfortunate that this problem has also started to fuel the misconception that all fat people are in denial and just don't care about their health when that's not true at all.

My friend has already had a heart attack, but I'm scared to tell him to eat better because he'll think I'm judging him. I live in obese state so I'm actually seen as pretentious for caring about my own health in the first place.

3 года назад

@@consultantadanemarca2132 that has nothing to do with political correctness. they just are feeling shitty about their size in society and the body positive movement is an excuse to give up and not try anymore and since it has gotten so much popularity they stay reinforced with their believes. no political supports obesity. this isn't political. just idiots who don't want to admit they need help or feel like it won't change how other people see them.

I have new found respect for this doctor. He didn't back away or apologize. He stuck to his guns in what he believes. Good for him. It's not easy to stick to what you believe in especially today where you can be so easily labeled as a bad person.

@goldengryphon 4 года назад

@@jessrigby3750 While I was being treated for a whole bunch of autoimmune and mental problems, I had to go see a new to me OBGYN. I was used to some doctors being down on me because I was heavy. ( I ate to give myself some "protective" layers and to make myself less attractive because PTSD always makes sense and has logic behind it.) I walk in to the exam room and the doctor announces I can't have a certain heart condition because his daughter has that same heart condition and she's a very active 16 year old. Then he launched into this whole :You're too fat for me to exam, There's no way you're a "Well Woman"." I just started crying. My husband come in and helped me leave, and my PC gave me a quick exam. There are doctors that fat shame. And it can be awful to have to deal with one. That guy announced his "retirement" within the month. I think I was just the last straw for other doctors in the clinic. In good news, I was eventually able to go through PTSD therapy and deal with all the emotional stuff. I'm not as triggered and can operate in normal society. I've also lost over 100 pounds, am testing for my black belt in karate, and am a firm proponent of the Slow Food movement, "Eat less, but better quality food. Move more and in ways that matter." Physical Training movement, and have survived two cancers since that awful doctor. - The heart condition that triggered him has been "inactive" for the past few years, though I will never be considered free of it. I have met and worked more good doctors than I can shake a stick at. There have only been one Bad Doctor, and two Episodically Bad Doctor-centric incidents. They do exist. Thankfully, they aren't anywhere close to the norm.

Calling a doctor fatphobic for telling you that being obese is bad for your health and could lead to an early death is like calling a mechanic speedphobic for telling you that heavily worn brake pads are bad for your car and could lead to a fatal accident.

@koalamanda8299 2 месяца назад

I feel like with senoritakatalina's comment, the nuance there is the doctors who treat a patient's weight as just one aspect of their health while taking a holistic approach, vs the doctors who immediately jump to "you're overweight, go lose weight" and either completely dismiss a patient's symptoms/issues (such as pain) as being due to their weight or refuse to hear about or address the patient's symptoms/issues specifically because they're overweight and therefore 'unhealthy'.

@JLynnEchelon 4 года назад

To be honest, I don't see it either. I haven't seen every video, but my one issue is that not everyone coming in is looking for a holistic assessment of their health. To use the smoker example, yes, it's a huge health risk, but if a smoker comes in with a broken leg and the first thing the doctor wants to talk about is how many cigarettes the person smokes per day, it's just adding insult to injury. Can we deal with the immediate concern first?

The one that picked my interest more is the comment about doctors mentioning your weight on a medical checkout. I mean what do you expect! it's not like a doctor approached you on the street to say you're fat, you came to the doctor to ask what is wrong with you AND YOU PAID FOR IT!. It's like going to a restaurant, paying for the meal and then the restaurant ghosts you and never give you your meal, it would be stealing if the doctor didn't say what your health issues are.

Wow. This was incredibly based and I seriously believe that you're doing some insanely remarkable work here, Doc. My dad was obese for a long time. What has been helping him remarkably is a keto diet and working out, and it's helped him sleep better. He doesn't suffer from insomnia and sleep apnea in the way he used to anymore. He's the healthiest and happiest I've ever seen him. My stepmom is incredible with natural and holistic health matters and she is the healthiest person I know. She has changed my dad's life for the better and I cannot thank her enough. This all goes to say that keto isn't for everyone! And that's okay. Just in my dads experience, he's gained back so many years of his life. Overall, I'm sharing this story because it proves that people are different and different things work for different people. And as for Mike, I appreciate that you are as unbiased as you are because that is so incredibly hard to do these days without potentially receiving backlash.

I am obese and I had few conversations about it with doctors. And yeah, it is uncomfortable but it is a truth you need to hear. Because it is not about your appearance or making you feel bad but this is a health care and obesity is a disease wether we like it or not. So I understand it can be difficult to have this conversation but I think the doctor who is having this conversation with a patient with sensitivity but also the truth about risk - it is a really good doctor
