I've lost 17 lbs since getting home from Uni but I still have another 10 to go before I'm in the healthy range 😅 But I have confidence in you, dad! And I'm really glad you've already made big progress.

Interdimensional Observer Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 (edited) Sometime in the early ninth century AD in the Mayan city of Ucanal, capital of the K'anwitznal Kingdom, King Papmalil (r. ~810-859 AD) held a public ceremony. He disinterred the remains of previous K'anwitznal royalty, burial decorations intact, set them on a pyre, and burned them at temperatures approaching 1500F/815C. He then threw the soot, cracked & warped bones, and stones & bead accessories, in a filler deposit between structural stones used in a temple. There are no written records of this event, but archaeologists sound pretty confident that is what happened. And that the desecration of the dead was to provide a dramatic announcement- New Regime In Charge, The Old One Is Gone. Papmalil's exact origins are unclear, but evidence indicates he was a foreigner to the Mayan home region. Despite his vindictive start, he seems to have been a very good king, more egalitarian too. In the ninth century, most of classical Mayan civilization was collapsing, yet Ucanal under Papmalil and his successors was flourishing. K'anwitznal was once a tributary kingdom to Caracol, now, Caracol paid tribute to K'anwitznal. 🤓 Why I'd feel like sharing this? Well, we have a scorching hot modern political climate, I suppose I found an faint echo of poli-heat in this.😛 5 hours ago, Armagon said: About two months ago I was clocking in 200 pounds.

I've lost 17 lbs since getting home from Uni but I still have another 10 to go before I'm in the healthy range 😅 Good for all three of you.😃 ...I fell off the wagon months ago.😐 You're both well aware enough of how I'm already inconsistent with the things I enjoy, exercising I do not.😑 The most I did in the past few months was read in Smithsonian about this lady.: Lulu Hunt Peters. The woman whose Diet and Health With Key to the Calories in 1918, was responsible for America (and thus the world's) obsession with calorie-counting. She was also vociferous and unapologetic in her fat-shaming, righteously and evangelically so (she herself lost 70 pounds).🤨 Prior to Mrs. Peters, calories had been considered in nutrition solely as a good thing- to help the hunger and malnourished. -Although the concept of calories was invented in the 1820s by a French chemist named Nicholas Clement, who used the Latin calor- "heat" as the term for the measure of heat that could be converted into energy. Clement's focus was on how to measure the steam energy needed to power steam engines, coal & machines, not food & bodies. Sine Germans physiologists began applying the calorie to food, and in the late 1860s and 80s, an American named Wilbur O. Atwater the "Father of American Nutrition Science", visited Germany and picked up on the calorie science. Atwater in the 1890s invented the original formulae by which the calories in food could be calculated, and while his calculations have been replaced, Wilbur Atwater is the man whose analytical work is indirectly responsible for the nutrition labels found on food packaging today. Atwater is the one who extolled the calorie as a good thing, and that focusing on the calorie to make sure Americans are well-fed and thus productive citizens. The United States Department of Agriculture published his nutritional guides -they first they ever did- in 1894 ...and soon corporations were advertising how positively rich in calories their products were.😐 Atwater died in 1907, and then those eleven years later, Lulu Hunt Peters (who held a doctorate of medicine from the University of California) inverted the message- The Calorie Is Bad, Restrict Them. By 1922 her aforementioned book was on the best-seller list and stayed there for four years, and she remained as she had in the decade prior, constant in her crusade against calories and the chubby. During World War I, she accused fat people -assumed to be hoarding food the war effort needs- of being unmoral/unpatriotic/treasonous, and claimed fat people were always a joke. She even proposed the idea of having wartime neighborhood watch groups that would monitor the weights of the overweight. An idea, which long after she died and without the involuntary patriotic spin, would be resurrected and used by Weight Watchers starting in the 1960s. If you want someone to blame for every product on store shelves that advertise their low/reduced calories, it's her. ...Unfortunately, despite calorie-counting for weight loss & general health becoming ingrained in modern minds, Mrs. Peters had it wrong.🤨 Nutritionist conferences have apparently become contentious nowadays over the role -or lack thereof- of the calorie in weight loss and health. Despite the generations of calorie-counting, the obesity rate in the USA has gone up from 13.4% in 1962, to 42% presently. The simple biological problem- humans are not steam engines, food isn't coal. Cutting calories and the burning of calories are interlinked, reducing caloric intake will trigger reactions that make it more difficult to lose weight. Hormones, metabolism, the microbiomes in our digestive tracts, the complicated chemical composition of foods themselves ("good fat" vs. "bad fat", certain (unnamed in the article) nuts have less calories in practice than lab tests indicate, raw food has less calories than cooked). All these complications were unknown a little over 100 years ago when the calorie became the villain. Although, Lulu Hunt Peters herself would've realized her messianic message was flawed- she yearned to reach 150 pounds, but despite a highly restrictive daily 1200 calorie diet + exercise, she never reached her personal goal. (If daily calories spent > daily calories added was factually all that mattered, it simply should've been a matter of time before she her hit target.) TL;DR I'm jealous of you three, and parroted pages of printed text to excuse my own lack of health-related willpower by saying "WEIGHT LOSS IS COMPLICATED!". And now I'll go grab some dessert to make myself feel better.😝 Edited July 23 by Interdimensional Observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
