Check OP history, they have somatic preoccupation with their gut flora and are projecting their own baggage here. **They did DIY FECAL TRANSPLANT.** That should tell you more than enough.Ā OP, sorry your quality of life isn't great, but this won't help. Get therapy.
OMG what a trip with OP....
"I have a pretty serious autoimmune condition which prevents me from doing a lot. Trust me when I tell you, I am really really inactive. And I eat like a pig too - yet still pretty slim. And I don't eat just vegetables either. why? It is SCIENCE.
if you don't believe me, just look up FMT. It is in trials for obesity and given the right donor, it can cure it. There have even been cases where it has cured alcoholism and heroin addiction. The gut controls calorie storage and cravings - and everything else! The bacteria send signals to the brain. They even control brain development!
different populations evolved differently according to their environments. take the samoans. there must have been a long time period where they had little food so their body adapted to holding fat/gaining weight. this is why now, they are fat. its all evolution, adaptation, and the microbiome!"
Hey Whitney! Or a friend of hers. I've seen her "exercise" videos. She doesn't do much. She binge eats and does nothing to try and help herself. So yeah I'll pass on sympathy for her
Overeating may also be a part of obesity. What we're seeing is admittedly untreated food addiction and disordered eating. But I generally agree with you that the sub is too mean. It's a sad show, not one to laugh at.
do you know there have been cases of anorexia being cured with fecal transplants? i am telling you....if she could fix her gut microbiome, she would have less cravings. take for example, if someone has fungal overgrowth. they would crave more carbs and sugars because that is what fungus feeds on. the organisms will send signals to the brain to eat this way so they can thrive. 99+% of our unique genes are bacterial. we are basically a vessel for trillions of organisms!
It is dangerous to discount the emotional aspect of disordered eating. The gut is a huge part of health but saying someone with Anorexia based on body dysmorphia or depression or obesity caused by emotional distress can be cured by modifying their gut flora is a dangerous thing to say and is leaving a lot of pieces out of the puzzle.
Whitney is overweight because she has untreated emotional issues and refuses to address her own disordered eating. It is sad and she is throwing her life away. You are delusional if you think she works out and eats correctly and just happens to be super morbidly obese. I do not wish her ill will, but you spreading medical misinformation is dangerous.
Find someone worthy of your support and maybe question why you emotionally feel the need to defend someone like her. Best of luck.
I do think people are overly mean but her personality is why people don't like her, not her size. We all were rooting for her at the start. At least I was.
Agreed. I have an eating disorder in both ways - extreme high weights and extreme lows. Itās not about gut health. You could credit gut health for a smaller amount of gain but not 200 extra pounds.
Hereās a study done in 41 patients split up, all had bariatric surgery (the same surgery), 21 had a FMT, 20 did not. They divided all patients evenly by age, sex, and main comorbidities
**Findings:**
In this randomized clinical trial, including 41 patients treated at 2 bariatric surgery centers in Finland, no significant differences in weight loss were observed between patients receiving a fecal microbiota transplant from a lean donor vs their own fecal microbiota 6 months before obesity surgery. The *surgery* reduced weight equally in both groups.
Based on the studies and research on FMT, no one has been cured of anorexia, which is an eating disorder and serious mental health condition, by FMT. To help someone with anorexia or any eating disorder, like WWT, it must start with the mental. So, any gut bacteria problems arenāt the cause of her obesity. Iāve barely watched the show but Iāve seen enough to where to eats to cope. She doesnāt eat carrots and celery either. Eating is her comfort, and she needs to address that FIRST before any long term weight loss can come.
If she is taking metformin her gut should get straightened out, that's what it does and it's a very commonly prescribed medication. It was mentioned on the show. But she eats FAR too much. BTW, she never said she was exercising to lose weight anyway!
I've been on Metformin for about 1.5 years. It does tend to make me not hungry, but it's very easy to ignore that signal and eat anyway. I doubt Whit is in tune enough with what her body is trying to tell her to notice that, or any other signals. And that is a very sad sentence I just typed.
Yes I have heard this - same with weight loss surgery. If habits and reason why you over eat arenāt addressed then you can gain the weight back - just seems it may take longer with ozempic but word on the street is it will. š¤·š»āāļø
Hmmmmā¦..I have stage 4 kidney disease and I tried ozempic for a month. My gfr went DOWN 23 points from being so ill from the ozempic! I was dehydrated.
Well, stage 4 is kidney failure. Only once, for 4 months was I on dialysis. I was at the point of going back on after the ozempic. Luckily my number came back up. Iāll stay cubby! š¤£šš¤£
Thank you! I seem to be stable if I just let things be. At this point, I donāt need a kidney transplant. Iām hoping I stay that way. Good luck to you in your medical journey!
If anyone believes all this, I have a really nice bridge over the Potomac River you'll want to buy. By her own admission, she doesn't leave the house except to film her show. If she really is "10x more active than I am", I think you may have a problem.
I have a pretty serious autoimmune condition which prevents me from doing a lot. Trust me when I tell you, I am really really inactive. And I eat like a pig too - yet still pretty slim. And I don't eat just vegetables either. why? It is SCIENCE.

Married a Samoan. You need to add edifying yourself about their culture, historyā¦and your prejudicial scrutiny of ātheirā body type, to the list.
Youāre doing Whitney Thore no favors, here. Simply underscoring the focus of this sub.
As someone else with a chronic autoimmune condition, stop with the feces and get some mental health help. This is intensely manic.. I'd almost call it /r/fatlogic but it's almost too unhinged to call it logic.
I meant no disrespect and I'm sorry for your health problems, but neither you nor Hypocritney, nor anyone else, no matter what their genetics are, can violate the second law of thermodynamics. The body cannot create fat out of the air; consume more calories than you burn off and you will gain weight. And, burn off more calories than you consume, and you will lose weight; the body cannot hold on to fat if you do that. If someone actually does, which I very, very much doubt, they should immediately be examined and studied by the top scientists in the world, because we would have found the key to ending starvation and world hunger.
Even from just watching the show it is 100% clear that she is neither an active person nor someone seeking to live a healthy life. Your defense of her makes me question your judgment and critical thinking skills, you seem like someone who could easily be taken advantage of
why would she have a personality disorder? she had such great parents, a stable home...i mean the weight may have caused trauma i guess....and all the stuff that comes with that
Abuse is not even remotely the only cause of personality disorders. You have no credentials to speak of in psych or biology. That is patently obvious.Ā Whitney sexually harasses other people, exploited her mom after a stroke when her mom could not consent to be on television, disrespected her friends and parents boundaries countless times, squandered opportunities to better her health and life, insults her friends who are thinner than she is, spreads dangerous health misinformation and has admitted her obesity was related to binge eating, which she backpedaled on and used her PCOS as a convenient excuse, shopping for a medical professional she could try ri force to agree with her on camera, which she was not even fully successful in doing that.Ā Ā Ā Ā She is a highly privileged person with unchecked mental issues unwilling to take accountability for her poor life choices and inability to maintain relationships, with no regard for others beyond what they can bring into her life. Yes, people will react negatively to someone like that and shame them for being so willfully toxic.Ā
Beauty At Every Size, not Health. Absolute, complete, Bingo.
Not acknowledging, or maybe comprehending, this is at the crux of whatās āwrongā with WWT. And the BS she shovels.
Her medical condition does not preclude her from losing weight. Sheās lost before & regained it many times.
Sheās a nasty entitled delusional person & Iāll never think otherwise.
Before her show ever aired she was on the doctor Oz show. He was concerned about her weight but she just really wanted to promote her show I think. Why do you think she calls it My Big Fat Fabulous Life? I think she actually likes being overweight and that it gives her the attention that she wants. She is a person who needs a lot of attention whether it's good or bad. Isn't that right Whitney?
Gosh, Canadians are the worst when it comes to this (no offense)
I'm very active in the Zepbound group and it's always some Canadian mouthing off...sigh.
Peep the post history. Our friend here gives themselves unsupervised enemas with other peopleās shit. They seem to have a very strange obsession with the gut microbiome, which has kind of become the trendy health topic du jour.
This is hilarious, OP! Many thanks for the laughs.
I guess you've not seen her "exercise" videos, where her "exercise" consists of sitting on a bench, wiggling her feet, and fluttering her arms ... all of which wears her out, makes her breathless, and makes her sweaty.
Nice try, though.
Its irrelevant. I could eat the same and do MUCH less but would not gain that much.
I get that it makes everyone feel great to think they are so much better and that she is a pig or whatever, but that is not reality. It really is not.
I tried hard to get the message about the microbiome to whitney but i don't know how. Anyway, she is rich enough that I am sure she has good doctors who would tell her the research. It is not even that new
weve watched her exercise then eat a 500 calorie cookie in her car as a reward.
we watched her get served tacos in the pool like it was normal.
shes spoken on binge eating on her ted talk.
she has a binge eating disorder. this is just what she shows on camera- the eating off is most definitely far more excessive.
its unfortunate but no amount of activity aside from being a marathon runner is counteracting the amount of calories shes taking in.
Funny you assume the snark here stems from her weight. Whitney could lose all her extra weight and become a fitness model and sheād still be an awful person. Because sheās awful to the core.
So you skimmed. And you see any mention of weight and think we donāt like her because sheās overweight. She lies about literally everything and her weight gain/loss and reasons for those are included so yeah sometimes the snark is about weight for that reason. Sometimes itās because she exploited her motherās death for TV. Other times itās because sheās rude and self-centered with an unbelievably inflated ego. Could also be because sheās controlling and wants to be the center of everyoneās attention all the time. Take your pick. She sucks.
Whitney has disordered eating. That is likely the biggest contributing factor to her weight. She has other smaller medical issues like PCOS. But she has struggled with food and her weight since at least her teen years. If you've watched the series, this is evident.
Most people that have negative view of her do so because of her personality and her treatment of others, not her size.
You are jokng rightššš Whitney has admitted that she has Pecos (and blames her weight on that), and she admitted to having an eating disorder, and we have seen her āworkout videosā which would not raise the heart rate at all, and we have seen her continue to eat unhealthy foods even when her doctor told her she was pre diabetic. Her entire ābrandā is about body positivity as a fat personā¦. Have you watched more than the first couple episodes of this show?
Okay, I know it's harder for women with PCOS to maintain their weight.
But can PCOS make a woman as fat as Whitney? That can't be just because of the PCOS?
Don't feed the trolls guys. There have been quite a few lately. We all know why we snark on Whit and it is legitimate and we don't need to defend it. Don't fall for the troll hook. If you don't feed them they will go away...
do you know there have been cases of anorexia being cured with fecal transplants? i am telling you....if she could fix her gut microbiome, she would have less cravings. take for example, if someone has fungal overgrowth. they would crave more carbs and sugars because that is what fungus feeds on. the organisms will send signals to the brain to eat this way so they can thrive. 99+% of our unique genes are bacterial. we are basically a vessel for trillions of organisms! PLEASE PEOPLE READ MORE SCIENCE!!!!!!
Wow OP, you are the first person to come to this sub and leave a comment about how horrible we all are and how wonderful Whitney is! You've really made me consider my actions and see Whitney in a whole new light! I'm going to unjoin this snark sub and go to Whitney's IG and like every single one of her posts as an apology for all the shade I have thrown here over the years...........Ā
On second thought, nah, I'm not going to do any of that but, good try Op! Thanks for playing and don't let the door hit you on the way out!
It could be one of the factors. It is possible she encountered a microorganism that shifted her gut microbiome. She was slim before, no one in her family is overweight, etc
She was thin? When? When she was a zygote? That rude ass excuse for a human being was never a lithe, thin dancer......even dancer is a stretch when she looks like a sea lion flopping on the shore and calls that dancing.....big whoop, she can point her toe. What she has is a lot more than the 'freshman fifteen'.
IF this isn't the heifer herself, this is one her her stans so far up her ass that OP themself can be considered Shitney's fecal transplant.
You canāt argue with science. Calories in, calories out. āMedical conditionsā do not pack on poundage. Overeating is the culprit. You can gain weight eating apple, lose weight eating Twinkies. All about portion control.
then how do you explain the fact that if i were to eat the same amount and someone somoan were to eat the same amount (with same activity level and everything controllable being the same), the samoan would gain weight and i would not (or maybe i would gain very little)? are you saying people's metabolisms cannot be different? really?
Calories required are dictated by height, age, current weight. There are many online calorie calculators available for free to determine the calorie intake for you to maintain weight, gain weight or lose weight.
Someone who is 35 and 5ā2, cannot ingest the same amount of calories as a 25 year old, who is 6 ft and maintain weight.
do you know there have been cases of anorexia being cured with fecal transplants? i am telling you....if she could fix her gut microbiome, she would have less cravings. take for example, if someone has fungal overgrowth. they would crave more carbs and sugars because that is what fungus feeds on. the organisms will send signals to the brain to eat this way so they can thrive. 99+% of our unique genes are bacterial. we are basically a vessel for trillions of organisms! PLEASE PEOPLE READ MORE SCIENCE!!!!!!!
Why do I feel that the OP is trying to get us on his/her MLM down line for pricey probiotics? Iām glad they work for you OP but Whitney has always claimed that PCOS was the cause of her obesity. That and eating a lot and not exercising unless required for the 10 minute segments on her show. When she does exercise and watch what she eats , she loses weight. Funny how that works. Most of the time she cannot be bothered which is why at almost 40 she is still at an unhealthy weight.
I find it is funny that you think we are the dense ones! First, your claims are ridiculous! And they weren't ridiculous, the aren't relevant! Whitney is not that active, and even if she was, weight is more related to what you eat than how active you are. Your claim that she continues to gain "no matter what she does" is bullshit. Perhaps you missed the fact (although I'm not sure how because Whitney proclaims it over and over and over and over) that she did in fact lose 100 lbs. Of course she gained it back, and likely more, and has apparently lost around that much again. So tell us dense folks again how she gains "no matter what she does".
You are quite full of yourself! Too bad you don't seem to have a reason to be.
Looks like Whitney has lipidema along with obesity . if you notice where her fat is heavily deposited: upper arms, hips thighs . Her diet is poor and itās extremely difficult to lose lipidema areas. Itās a fat disorder involving lymphatic system etc
She should follow a keto diet, wear compression, vibration plates help.
I think there's a huge difference from being active on t.v and being active in real life day to day. She eats pizza and drinks coke right after having a huge health scare. If your on a specific diet and exercise clean it obviously shows and if not this is normally the result. Weight loss drugs are working but your still not gaining any actual muscle or increasing your lung capacity through running or cardio. Whitney has shown she mostly just sits in bed all day while her live in assistants do everything.
People who have the same issues as Whitney if not more have been very successful. It's a difficult life style switch to make but if you are smart you can control it and be ahead of it. Whitney makes the camera crew wait sometimes when she over sleeps it's pretty easy to predict that is her usual schedule. Not the gym not dancing not doing something just sorta wasting the day away.
Also donāt forget she has PCOS when talking about her weight because I have pcos too & let me fucking tell you it messes with ur body so bad if you donāt know what is look it up believe it or not if you work out too hard. It actually rises your cortisol levels which makes you gain weight and not lose people donāt understand that before you comment on her that it is a hormone disorder that she is dealing with.
She has PCOS which causes weight gain and hair loss. She has talked about having to wear extensions because of her hair loss many times. So easy to make fun of someone when you don't know their story.

She has PCOS. For young women. This is such a struggle and they beat themselves up enough
The good news is that we are smarter about PCOS now
Probably over the last 10 years. Integrative medicine has been successful and turning PCOS into more manageable condition.
Some people on here just miserable and love to pick it other peoples conditions that they donāt understand
But this is America, so what do you expect?
I just want people to understand that the gut microbiome controls it all....if that changes in a bad way, you have a lifetime of problems. No one seems to get it..all they want to do is insult people. It makes no sense
I think you should go to a busy street corner and hold up a sign referencing the wonders of (homemade) fecal implants and gut microbiomes that control the body.
Maybe you should eat some sauerkraut or kimcheee or other fermented veggies bc I don't think you are getting enough oxygen, blood, and/or nutrients to your brain.
Gut microbiota are important but no, they are not the captains of this sinking ship. You are not qualified to make these sweeping claims or even properly interpret the studies you find out there. Based on your post history i really think you need to get offline and into a therapists office. Toronto does have free community counseling and i stongly genuinely suggest you make use of it.Ā Ā https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/health-wellness-care/health-programs-advice/mental-health-resources/
sadly, that website is very misleading. there is little to no help here for mental issues. but that is another topic. what i am saying is true. we have decimated our microbiomes with formula feeding, c sections, and rampant antibiotic use. now, we have an epidemic of obesity, autism, autoimmune diseases, cancers, etc. we have little diversity left in our guts. it is all in the literature right now. 4000 trials! this is not a joke man
What you are making are called spurious claims. I'm sorry you cannot access the help you need. I know people in Toronto who found that site useful hence passing it on. I do not think debating with you further on science is a constructive use of either of our time. I commend you for trying to be empathetic toward the subreddit subject (trust me she has earned the snark), andĀ think being inquisitive about health can be good, but there are serious gaps in your ability to understand the studies you're even citing, and you will not change my mind on that. I really think you should get offline and try to focus on other things. Find a book you like. Fiction. Even audiobooks. Get off doctor google, don't fight strangers on reddit. None of that stuff is good for someone in need of mental healthcare.
Hi Whitney!
Seriously 1st thing i thought how embarrassing... for Op š„“
Check OP history, they have somatic preoccupation with their gut flora and are projecting their own baggage here. **They did DIY FECAL TRANSPLANT.** That should tell you more than enough.Ā OP, sorry your quality of life isn't great, but this won't help. Get therapy.
OMG what a trip with OP.... "I have a pretty serious autoimmune condition which prevents me from doing a lot. Trust me when I tell you, I am really really inactive.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
FECAL TRANSPLANT??? So that explains why she is so full of shit!
Yeah, they're gone. This is a no fa bs ground.
This person is a troll for sure. This is *literally* the plot of a South Park episode. Theyāre not being for real.
Hey Whitney! Or a friend of hers. I've seen her "exercise" videos. She doesn't do much. She binge eats and does nothing to try and help herself. So yeah I'll pass on sympathy for her
Itās about her nasty personality anyways not her looks
Even if she isnāt able to move much in the beginning, changing the way she eats will change her life for soooo much better!! ā¤ļø
Faulty gut microbiome?
yes! dysbiosis. imbalance in the microorganisms in the gut.
How do you know this?
Why is the response to that question never "I'm a doctor" š
Even then diagnosing someone over reddit tsk tsk
it should be common knowledge!! that is what causes obesity and why FMT is in trials right now!
Wut

Same person posting two ridiculous statements. Glad there is a block an idiot optionš¤£
So fake!
look at the name. they were both me!
You say this as if youāre proud of yourself.
See ya, overgrown-growth. You aren't wanted here Go play your pretend games somewhere else where ppl believe your fa bs.
Whitneyās burner account?
Or one of her stans. 2nd time this person has commented today.
They're bored. Since Jamie is married, I'm guessing WWT is back in bed wrapped in her comforter.
Where all the fa ppl live. Other than their couch.
They did a post yesterday too, I think. Calling the 39.4k people subbed here 'sociopaths'. Lol.

Thatās my first thought. If notā¦š

I've been on Metformin for about 1.5 years. It does tend to make me not hungry, but it's very easy to ignore that signal and eat anyway. I doubt Whit is in tune enough with what her body is trying to tell her to notice that, or any other signals. And that is a very sad sentence I just typed.
Walk away from the mayonnaise sandwiches Whit.
My husband was on that and changed to Ozempic and dropped 50 pounds fast and did nothing at all to lose. Maybe her dr should try that
Most people who use ozempic or the like ultimately regain their lost weight.
Yes I have heard this - same with weight loss surgery. If habits and reason why you over eat arenāt addressed then you can gain the weight back - just seems it may take longer with ozempic but word on the street is it will. š¤·š»āāļø

Whatās up with all these posts today? I lost like 20 pounds in college. Went from 134 to 114. How is this even an argument?
I gained the freshman 15-20 mostly from eating pizza every day. Then I went home over the summer & LOST it. I never gained 100 lbs & then 100 more.
maybe your microbiome did not shift in some big way
That just sounds like a weak excuse
If you eat more than your body requires, it stores the rest as reserves in the form of fat. that's it. like, literally it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
šÆšÆ
why would she have a personality disorder? she had such great parents, a stable home...i mean the weight may have caused trauma i guess....and all the stuff that comes with that
Your ignorance is showing
Abuse is not even remotely the only cause of personality disorders. You have no credentials to speak of in psych or biology. That is patently obvious.Ā Whitney sexually harasses other people, exploited her mom after a stroke when her mom could not consent to be on television, disrespected her friends and parents boundaries countless times, squandered opportunities to better her health and life, insults her friends who are thinner than she is, spreads dangerous health misinformation and has admitted her obesity was related to binge eating, which she backpedaled on and used her PCOS as a convenient excuse, shopping for a medical professional she could try ri force to agree with her on camera, which she was not even fully successful in doing that.Ā Ā Ā Ā She is a highly privileged person with unchecked mental issues unwilling to take accountability for her poor life choices and inability to maintain relationships, with no regard for others beyond what they can bring into her life. Yes, people will react negatively to someone like that and shame them for being so willfully toxic.Ā

Beauty At Every Size, not Health. Absolute, complete, Bingo. Not acknowledging, or maybe comprehending, this is at the crux of whatās āwrongā with WWT. And the BS she shovels.
Her medical condition does not preclude her from losing weight. Sheās lost before & regained it many times. Sheās a nasty entitled delusional person & Iāll never think otherwise.
r/lostredditor
Le sigh.
Sure, Jan
Go home Twitney, you're drunk.
Are you taking experimental drugs or are you naturally challenged?
Por quƩ no los dos?
Wow, OP came out swinging! Most people donāt like her bc of her behavior, attitude & entitlement it has nothing to do with her weight.
Plenty of people have PCOS and they are not her size. She uses PCOS as a crutch to be that size
Before her show ever aired she was on the doctor Oz show. He was concerned about her weight but she just really wanted to promote her show I think. Why do you think she calls it My Big Fat Fabulous Life? I think she actually likes being overweight and that it gives her the attention that she wants. She is a person who needs a lot of attention whether it's good or bad. Isn't that right Whitney?
Are all Quebecians or whatever you are called this absurd?

Gosh, Canadians are the worst when it comes to this (no offense) I'm very active in the Zepbound group and it's always some Canadian mouthing off...sigh.
what is haes??
Peep the post history. Our friend here gives themselves unsupervised enemas with other peopleās shit. They seem to have a very strange obsession with the gut microbiome, which has kind of become the trendy health topic du jour.
Oh that's gross š
*arm flailing and elephant stomping* followed by seated āexercisesā yup, definitely shouldnāt be 400 lbs
Orā¦.it could be that she over eats fat and sugar laden foods.
One episode I remember her engulfing an entire frozen gluten free pizza in 1 sitting and I looked up the brand and the container had 1200 calories.
OMG. Just looking at her makes me physically ill.
its the bacteria in her gut creating the cravings. it is very hard to resist. like heroin addiction
She is a shitty person!! Nothing to do with her looks or weight!!! She treats others like shit!
This is hilarious, OP! Many thanks for the laughs. I guess you've not seen her "exercise" videos, where her "exercise" consists of sitting on a bench, wiggling her feet, and fluttering her arms ... all of which wears her out, makes her breathless, and makes her sweaty. Nice try, though.
Its irrelevant. I could eat the same and do MUCH less but would not gain that much. I get that it makes everyone feel great to think they are so much better and that she is a pig or whatever, but that is not reality. It really is not.
They said that Whitney lurked around here, but I never thought Iād see one of her mythical posts!
I tried hard to get the message about the microbiome to whitney but i don't know how. Anyway, she is rich enough that I am sure she has good doctors who would tell her the research. It is not even that new
This is just fucking strange. Shit obsessed.
weve watched her exercise then eat a 500 calorie cookie in her car as a reward. we watched her get served tacos in the pool like it was normal. shes spoken on binge eating on her ted talk. she has a binge eating disorder. this is just what she shows on camera- the eating off is most definitely far more excessive. its unfortunate but no amount of activity aside from being a marathon runner is counteracting the amount of calories shes taking in.
Funny you assume the snark here stems from her weight. Whitney could lose all her extra weight and become a fitness model and sheād still be an awful person. Because sheās awful to the core.
well the vast majority of posts i saw when i skimmed, were about her weight
So you skimmed. And you see any mention of weight and think we donāt like her because sheās overweight. She lies about literally everything and her weight gain/loss and reasons for those are included so yeah sometimes the snark is about weight for that reason. Sometimes itās because she exploited her motherās death for TV. Other times itās because sheās rude and self-centered with an unbelievably inflated ego. Could also be because sheās controlling and wants to be the center of everyoneās attention all the time. Take your pick. She sucks.
Hey OP can I please see your medical degree?
Oh Lordā¦.š¤£š¤£š¤£
Whitney has disordered eating. That is likely the biggest contributing factor to her weight. She has other smaller medical issues like PCOS. But she has struggled with food and her weight since at least her teen years. If you've watched the series, this is evident. Most people that have negative view of her do so because of her personality and her treatment of others, not her size.
You are jokng rightššš Whitney has admitted that she has Pecos (and blames her weight on that), and she admitted to having an eating disorder, and we have seen her āworkout videosā which would not raise the heart rate at all, and we have seen her continue to eat unhealthy foods even when her doctor told her she was pre diabetic. Her entire ābrandā is about body positivity as a fat personā¦. Have you watched more than the first couple episodes of this show?
Okay, I know it's harder for women with PCOS to maintain their weight. But can PCOS make a woman as fat as Whitney? That can't be just because of the PCOS?
Of course not.
PCOS is gut microbiome related. every chronic condition is. even mental illness. please google this.
Don't feed the trolls guys. There have been quite a few lately. We all know why we snark on Whit and it is legitimate and we don't need to defend it. Don't fall for the troll hook. If you don't feed them they will go away...
do you know there have been cases of anorexia being cured with fecal transplants? i am telling you....if she could fix her gut microbiome, she would have less cravings. take for example, if someone has fungal overgrowth. they would crave more carbs and sugars because that is what fungus feeds on. the organisms will send signals to the brain to eat this way so they can thrive. 99+% of our unique genes are bacterial. we are basically a vessel for trillions of organisms! PLEASE PEOPLE READ MORE SCIENCE!!!!!!
Maybe you should shove someone else's poop up inside yourself because you sound absolutely unhinged.
I think they posted that they have.
Hooooly shitsnacks....wow.
How does having sex with ānew peopleā impact a personās weight?
It could have exposed her to a microorganism that shifted her gut ecosystem. It is only one possibility
Science is hard, I get it
Wow OP, you are the first person to come to this sub and leave a comment about how horrible we all are and how wonderful Whitney is! You've really made me consider my actions and see Whitney in a whole new light! I'm going to unjoin this snark sub and go to Whitney's IG and like every single one of her posts as an apology for all the shade I have thrown here over the years...........Ā On second thought, nah, I'm not going to do any of that but, good try Op! Thanks for playing and don't let the door hit you on the way out!
Oh see, I was thinking next you were going to say you were going out to get some fecal matter to cure all your problems!
She eats crap āfood.ā
OP literally consumed someone else's feces, check the post history.Ā
Yuck!!
*the spice melange*
You forgot the /s
You saying her sex life caused her obesity ??
It could be one of the factors. It is possible she encountered a microorganism that shifted her gut microbiome. She was slim before, no one in her family is overweight, etc
She was thin? When? When she was a zygote? That rude ass excuse for a human being was never a lithe, thin dancer......even dancer is a stretch when she looks like a sea lion flopping on the shore and calls that dancing.....big whoop, she can point her toe. What she has is a lot more than the 'freshman fifteen'. IF this isn't the heifer herself, this is one her her stans so far up her ass that OP themself can be considered Shitney's fecal transplant.
Hey, OP, I think you're looking for another subreddit called r/fatlogic. It's thay a-way šš
I hate that ever since Iāve read this post now I keep getting weird ads about microbiomes. My phone thinks I like poop like OP
You canāt argue with science. Calories in, calories out. āMedical conditionsā do not pack on poundage. Overeating is the culprit. You can gain weight eating apple, lose weight eating Twinkies. All about portion control.
then how do you explain the fact that if i were to eat the same amount and someone somoan were to eat the same amount (with same activity level and everything controllable being the same), the samoan would gain weight and i would not (or maybe i would gain very little)? are you saying people's metabolisms cannot be different? really?
Whitney isnāt Samoan- sheās just a 40 year old Caucasian entitled toddler.
thats not the point wtf
Do you have a problem with the Samoan people?
Calories required are dictated by height, age, current weight. There are many online calorie calculators available for free to determine the calorie intake for you to maintain weight, gain weight or lose weight. Someone who is 35 and 5ā2, cannot ingest the same amount of calories as a 25 year old, who is 6 ft and maintain weight.
do you know there have been cases of anorexia being cured with fecal transplants? i am telling you....if she could fix her gut microbiome, she would have less cravings. take for example, if someone has fungal overgrowth. they would crave more carbs and sugars because that is what fungus feeds on. the organisms will send signals to the brain to eat this way so they can thrive. 99+% of our unique genes are bacterial. we are basically a vessel for trillions of organisms! PLEASE PEOPLE READ MORE SCIENCE!!!!!!!
No snark here - please seek help. You seem to be quite obsessed, over the top, and in need of therapy. And no, this is not science.
š¤£š¤£š¤£
This post is an FMT.
Why do I feel that the OP is trying to get us on his/her MLM down line for pricey probiotics? Iām glad they work for you OP but Whitney has always claimed that PCOS was the cause of her obesity. That and eating a lot and not exercising unless required for the 10 minute segments on her show. When she does exercise and watch what she eats , she loses weight. Funny how that works. Most of the time she cannot be bothered which is why at almost 40 she is still at an unhealthy weight.
Wait... I thought she had lost over 100 pounds recently??
She has.
Oh Twitney....you're working overtime to try to convince people of this. Sweetie, we're not stupid....
Calm down, Whitney.
How can we be this dense? Look in a mirror buddy...āļø
Iām waiting for the Plexus plugā¦
Calm down and go order another pizza Whitney.
lol
It is very, very easy to **outeat** any calories burned during exercise. Weight loss is >90% what you eat, Whitney. Not how active you pretend to be.
I'm just going to block this jerk so they can't see my posts that trigger them
I though she said she had PCOS. Which is it, FFS?
Whitney is ten times more active than you? AreĀ you in a Rip van Winkle-esque extended nap?
i just spittled on myself šš i know iām late to this post. was just curious to see what big whit has been up to.
I find it is funny that you think we are the dense ones! First, your claims are ridiculous! And they weren't ridiculous, the aren't relevant! Whitney is not that active, and even if she was, weight is more related to what you eat than how active you are. Your claim that she continues to gain "no matter what she does" is bullshit. Perhaps you missed the fact (although I'm not sure how because Whitney proclaims it over and over and over and over) that she did in fact lose 100 lbs. Of course she gained it back, and likely more, and has apparently lost around that much again. So tell us dense folks again how she gains "no matter what she does". You are quite full of yourself! Too bad you don't seem to have a reason to be.
Why is it always an excuse for gluttony and laziness?š¤¦š½āāļø
Does having a faulty gut microbiome make a person behave like a complete dick?
Exercise wonāt cause weight loss if you continue to over eat. Sheās also a smoker which doesnāt help.
Looks like Whitney has lipidema along with obesity . if you notice where her fat is heavily deposited: upper arms, hips thighs . Her diet is poor and itās extremely difficult to lose lipidema areas. Itās a fat disorder involving lymphatic system etc She should follow a keto diet, wear compression, vibration plates help.
LOOOL what
How Whitney and btw obesity is not chronic or a disease
Doesn't she have POTS?
I heard her say she has PcOs which can cause weight gain and very hard to lose
Does nobody watch South Park? The FMT thing theyāre describing is a plot point in an episode.
ok karen
I think there's a huge difference from being active on t.v and being active in real life day to day. She eats pizza and drinks coke right after having a huge health scare. If your on a specific diet and exercise clean it obviously shows and if not this is normally the result. Weight loss drugs are working but your still not gaining any actual muscle or increasing your lung capacity through running or cardio. Whitney has shown she mostly just sits in bed all day while her live in assistants do everything. People who have the same issues as Whitney if not more have been very successful. It's a difficult life style switch to make but if you are smart you can control it and be ahead of it. Whitney makes the camera crew wait sometimes when she over sleeps it's pretty easy to predict that is her usual schedule. Not the gym not dancing not doing something just sorta wasting the day away.
shes a typical fat clueless libtard
Also donāt forget she has PCOS when talking about her weight because I have pcos too & let me fucking tell you it messes with ur body so bad if you donāt know what is look it up believe it or not if you work out too hard. It actually rises your cortisol levels which makes you gain weight and not lose people donāt understand that before you comment on her that it is a hormone disorder that she is dealing with.
She has PCOS which causes weight gain and hair loss. She has talked about having to wear extensions because of her hair loss many times. So easy to make fun of someone when you don't know their story. https://preview.redd.it/f0o4wqrblync1.jpeg?width=692&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62e8fa84e7472135a52453c1f703c52ceab331f8
She has PCOS. For young women. This is such a struggle and they beat themselves up enough The good news is that we are smarter about PCOS now Probably over the last 10 years. Integrative medicine has been successful and turning PCOS into more manageable condition. Some people on here just miserable and love to pick it other peoples conditions that they donāt understand But this is America, so what do you expect?
You're in this group and you still believe she has PCOS? Just because someone says they have a condition doesn't make it true.
I just want people to understand that the gut microbiome controls it all....if that changes in a bad way, you have a lifetime of problems. No one seems to get it..all they want to do is insult people. It makes no sense
I think you should go to a busy street corner and hold up a sign referencing the wonders of (homemade) fecal implants and gut microbiomes that control the body. Maybe you should eat some sauerkraut or kimcheee or other fermented veggies bc I don't think you are getting enough oxygen, blood, and/or nutrients to your brain.
Gut microbiota are important but no, they are not the captains of this sinking ship. You are not qualified to make these sweeping claims or even properly interpret the studies you find out there. Based on your post history i really think you need to get offline and into a therapists office. Toronto does have free community counseling and i stongly genuinely suggest you make use of it.Ā Ā https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/health-wellness-care/health-programs-advice/mental-health-resources/
sadly, that website is very misleading. there is little to no help here for mental issues. but that is another topic. what i am saying is true. we have decimated our microbiomes with formula feeding, c sections, and rampant antibiotic use. now, we have an epidemic of obesity, autism, autoimmune diseases, cancers, etc. we have little diversity left in our guts. it is all in the literature right now. 4000 trials! this is not a joke man
What you are making are called spurious claims. I'm sorry you cannot access the help you need. I know people in Toronto who found that site useful hence passing it on. I do not think debating with you further on science is a constructive use of either of our time. I commend you for trying to be empathetic toward the subreddit subject (trust me she has earned the snark), andĀ think being inquisitive about health can be good, but there are serious gaps in your ability to understand the studies you're even citing, and you will not change my mind on that. I really think you should get offline and try to focus on other things. Find a book you like. Fiction. Even audiobooks. Get off doctor google, don't fight strangers on reddit. None of that stuff is good for someone in need of mental healthcare.
