not to be that guy who is constantly recommending maintenance phase but they have a pretty good breakdown of the research around fatness and health in the episode ‘is being fat bad for you?’ (the summary is that fatness is extremely well established to be inherently healthier than thinness or even what the bmi scale problematically considers a normal weight)
#ALSO tbc its abelist to demand someone be healthy before you respect them#u can also read research papers directly about this which like tbc i have prior to listening to this episode#this isnt michael hobbes worship lmao it’s just genuinely a really good breakdown of the research which is readily available#most pop sources are terrible at presenting this information#if your ‘research’ into fatness comes from#magazines and newspapers and pop books u literally do not know what you are talking about#the well is poisoned#even otherwise good pop sources (ex healthline) present this information very poorly#you also tbc cant read just ONE paper and get an idea of the body of research
