Stop Threatening Weight Gain
Let me start by acknowledging the privilege I hold in the weight-inclusive space. I am a thin person, and up to this current date I have always been a thin person. While I have had my own struggles with a disordered relationship with my body and food, I have never at any point had a provider make a comment about my weight, a store not have my size or go to a location that could not accommodate my body. I cannot truly speak to the experience of all bodies, especially the most marginalized, because I have never lived those experiences and there’s a possibility that I never will. It is my hope, as a weight-inclusive and non-diet provider, to make space for individuals to process the harms of diet culture and fatphobia and move towards a lifestyle that nourishes them physically, mentally and emotionally.

The Fat Cell 9: Enter Insulin
After a meal is eaten, glucose rides around the bloodstream. Upon reaching the pancreas, the spongy fish-shaped organ, nestled behind the stomach, kicks out a hormone, insulin. Now both glucose and insulin are cruising around. The insulin alerts the muscles that it has arrived - like the doorbell signaling that lunch is on the doorstep. The muscle cell captures the glucose with a GLUT 4 molecule and uses the glucose for immediate projects.

What You Need to Know Before Starting a Keto Diet
Image Source: FreeImages What Is a Keto Diet? A ketogenic diet is a very low-carb diet that changes the metabolism of your body. The goal is to get your body to use fat as its main source of energy instead of glucose (sugar) from carbohydrates. This process is called ketosis, and it happens when your body is starved of carbohydrates and glycogen (the main source of energy for muscles and the brain). The body then releases chemicals that break down fat and make it usable as energy. Basically, your body turns fat into fuel.
