The "chubby kid"
From young, many chubby kids get the message early on that they're fat.
The message gets spread through concerned adults when they ask the child to wear something a bit more flattering, while thinner peers are congratulated with looking "just darling."

Diets and Health
For half a century, doctors and researchers have known two things that could have improved, or saved, millions of lives:
- Diets do not work. Not just paleo or Atkins or Weight Watchers or Goop, but all diets.
- Being fat does not necessarily mean being unhealthy.
About Diets
- A 2016 study that followed participants for an average of 19 years found that unfit skinny people were twice as likely to get diabetes as fat people, who were relatively fit.
- Americans spend more on dieting every year than on video games or movies.

Why Body Positivity Is Important
The body positivity movement
Body positivity is the idea that all people deserve to have a positive body image, regardless of shape, size, and appearance.
The major goals of the body positivity mov...
History of the body positivity movement
The body positivity movement has its root in the fat acceptance movement of the 1960s. The body positivity movement began to emerge around 2012, first focusing on challenging unrealistic feminine beauty standards, but eventually shifting to the message that all bodies are beautiful.
Body positivity also means not beating yourself up over changes that happen naturally due to aging, pregnancy, or lifestyle choices.
Reasons for body positivity
The formation of body image starts early in life. Exposure to images of the "thin ideal" poses a danger. It develops the belief that beauty, success, and esteem are the result of thinness. When people internalize these ideas, they may experience body dissatisfaction, leading to depression, low self-esteem, and eating disorders.
Body positivity attempts to address these issues by helping people recognize the influences that promote a poor body image. They hope that people will adjust their body expectations and feel more positive and accepting of their own bodies.

The Ketogenesis process
It supplies energy under circumstances such as fasting or caloric restriction to certain organs (e.g. the brain, heart, and skeletal muscle).
In ketogenesis, our livers start to break down fat into a usable energy source called ketones. Ketones can stand in for glucose as fuel for the body when there’s a glucose shortage.
Once ketogenesis kicks in and ketone levels are elevated, the body is in a state called “ketosis,” during which it’s burning stored fat.
The Keto diet
That means eating mainly meats, eggs, cheese, fish, nuts, butter, oils, and vegetables while avoiding sugar, bread and other grains, beans, and even fruit.
