When I had CFS I gained about 45 pounds for no reason. (Like, eating 1500 calories a day no reason). I got better, and 40 pounds dropped straight off again. The last 5 have settled in for good. So yes, effortless weight loss is out there. You just need to contract a mysterious metabolism-sapping disease and feel like crap for 3 years before it will work for you. littlem:

She's going to gain it back. ESPECIALLY if she's having blood sugar issues. (Diabetes runs in my family too, so I know a little about this.) Working out adjusts your body's glycogen balance because that's what muscles use for fuel. If you lose weight without working out, of course you've lost some muscle tissue, which is going to exacerbate any blood sugar fluctuation problems you may have, not solve them.

Um, luck? “It’s not really very ranty, but she lists a lot of reasons why she “shouldn’t” have been able to lose weight (like genetics, carbohydrates, pregnancy, and a hatred of exercise) but says she did it anyway.”

I think she has chosen to silence the debate on size/body acceptance in her blog.

But, while I respect her reasons for losing weight, I am troubled by her dismissal of the Joy Nash of Fat Rant's message -- she is fat. Oh, no, says the other Joy Nash, she isn't THAT fat. Which just reinforces "fat" as a Bad Word from which people want to distance themselves. Her reasons for her own weight loss are fine and dandy -- she is welcome to do as she pleases with her own body. But she is totally missing the point.

I think both Joy Nashes are great for thinking that fat does not equal ugly or bad. Do I have to choose? I think both Joy Nashes are great for thinking that fat does not equal ugly or bad.
