I have a long-standing policy of absolutely refusing to feed the diet industry, or let them make their money off my back. It's deeply political for me, even aside from the general uselessness of those approaches.
Yes, that. Absolutely. Agree with you 100%.
Wonderful review. Thank you for posting.
And I agree that all the stuff around type II diabetes is indeed cloudy. It frustrates me to no end that it is commonly believed that a) all fat people are going to get diabetes and b) only fat people get diabetes. It is even worse when discussing gestational diabetes. Nobody really knows why some women get GD and there are even debates about whether or not it is really a "disease". It is inaccurately, but commonly, believed that fat pregnant women get GD. Not true. So many skinny pregnany women get GD and so many fat pregnant women do not. Fat pregnant women are routinely bombarded with lies about the "risks" they ostebsibly face. It makes me so, so angry.
