avidbiologist.bsky.social @avidbiologist.bsky.social · 08/10/2026If you have questions about nutrition and/or movement, again in a way that isn’t rooted in diet culture, I also suggest you consider seeing a HAES aligned dietitian! There’s a lot of misinformation out there! 010
avidbiologist.bsky.social @avidbiologist.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Oh wait one more thing: if you are in a larger body and you want to try and find healthcare providers who won’t try and suggest you lose weight before accessing healthcare, this listing is one way to find options: asdah.org/listing/asdah.orgHealth at Every Size® Healthcare Provider Listing – ASDAH 110
avidbiologist.bsky.social @avidbiologist.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I’m not here to judge anyone for anything except for people shilling diets and supplements but I just will probably occasionally yell about how long term weight loss (outside of the body’s normal range) isn’t evidence based bc I don’t understand why this isn’t more widely accepted and shared!!!! 140
avidbiologist.bsky.social @avidbiologist.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Doing things like moving your body more or eating a wider variety of foods can help people feel better and have improved health markers without promising something that is statistically unlikely and when it is not achieved will cause the person to stop the behaviors! 120
avidbiologist.bsky.social @avidbiologist.bsky.social · 08/10/2026While this is the overwhelming evidence of the scientific literature, for some reason people (including health professionals) still think suggesting people pursue weight loss intentionally is a good idea, when IMO the better option is behavioral changes that CAN lead to improved health without WL. 130
avidbiologist.bsky.social @avidbiologist.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Our bodies EVOLVED to deal with periods of less food and there’s a lot that happens to ensure that we don’t starve to death, often times including getting additional fat stores because “close call! we can’t let that happen again!” 120
avidbiologist.bsky.social @avidbiologist.bsky.social · 08/10/2026tw: weight, diet/weight loss I’m going to get on my soapbox because this isn’t widely spread despite being very evidence based: generally speaking, people’s bodies are genetically predispositioned to a weight range. Dieting behavior is a predictor of future weight gain, not sustainable loss. 130

avidbiologist.bsky.social @avidbiologist.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Food nerd answer- One reason is bc foods have lots of other compounds that we haven’t studied as much or are in the process of studying and they can work together in ways that we also don’t really understand! Also iron is just such a jerk about being absorbed 140

avidbiologist.bsky.social @avidbiologist.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Also to say that the heat pumps install for us was like, have contractors come for estimate (1 day per estimate) and because we had forced air heat already we didn’t need anything wild so I think it was only 1, 2 days for install? Just so you have the info! I know stubborn moms will stubborn mom 010
avidbiologist.bsky.social @avidbiologist.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Ahh got it. Fwiw the heat pumps use a fair amt of energy on really cold days so when we changed over from 2023 to 2024 it wasn’t like a huge savings, BUT I know oil prices have changed and also our energy company had something about if you have a heat pump you get a discount on energy in winter 110
avidbiologist.bsky.social @avidbiologist.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Ugh I’m sorry about the disinterest re: heat pumps! Have you had a Mass saves assessment? They can help pay for them (we had to get our house insulated first, which they also paid for). 110
