i have never met a woman who hasn’t tried, even just for a day, starving herself

I have never met a guy who hasn’t tried, even just for a day, to exercise and stuff his face with protein products

Imagine thinking exercise and eating protein is as harmful as starvation

Imagine knowing so little about health issues that you make such a stupid claim.

Let‘s start out with HEALTH RISKS OF OVEREXERCISING: A research from the Australian sports journal Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics shows that intense physiological stress on the body can trigger Leaky Gut Syndrome – a condition in which the gut lining weakens, resulting in the passage of germs and toxins into the bloodstream. It’s believed that leakage of toxic waste is a primary cause of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Chronic Fatigue. Another result of overexercising could be abnormal heart rhythms. There’s a risk of causing permanent structural changes to heart muscles which scientists describe as ‘cardiotoxic’. Such changes are believed to predispose athletes to arrhythmia, making them more prone to sudden cardiac death. Studies released by the European Heart Journal in 2013 measured the heart rhythms of over 52,000 cross-country skiiers during a ten year period and found that the risk of arrhythmia is increased with every race completed, and was up to 30pc higher for those who competed year-on-year for a period of five years. Overexecising may also damage your immune system. Cortisol – a hormone emitted by the adrenal gland during periods of physical stress – stimulates gluconeogenesis (the production of new glucose) in the liver and increases protein breakdown in the muscles. Scientists recently came to the conclusion that the negative effects of cortisol can outweigh the benefits. Whilst cortisol can decrease the swelling and reddening prompted by serious injuries, its immunosuppressive effects mean that those who endure high and consistent cortisol levels are at more risk of falling ill. Another possibility are weakened bones. Not only are those who over-exercise more at risk of illness but they’re doubly as likely to end up bed-bound thanks to cortisol’s interference with bone-building. When cortisol is in the bloodstream, more bone tissue is broken down than is deposited. This means that exercise addicts, whose bodies remains in a chronic state of stress, put themselves at higher risk of fractures and breakage. The resultant loss in bone density can lead to serious conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis, which can haunt excessive exercisers in later life. Last but not least: Mental health issues. Studies into what is known as ‘Overtraining Syndrome’ show that those who over train portray the same biochemical markers as those with clinical depression – which is to say that the emission of serotonin and tryptophan are altered by both disorders. Behaviourally too, the clinically depressed and the over trained were perceived to share lowered motivation, insomnia and irritability. The Technical University of Munich found that young athletes who don’t leave enough time to recover from stress and injury are 20pc more likely to suffer from depression. Symptoms of overexecising range from individual to individual, including, but not being limited to: Lethargy, poor sleep (despite being tired), aching muscles, poor workout performance, inability to complete workouts, irritability, loss of appetite, loss of libido, poor co-ordination, swelling of lymph glands and abnormal heart rate.

Since you thought it was necessairy to bring eating disorders into this, I‘d like to mention a study by The Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research titled „Body Uneasiness, Eating Disorders, and Muscle Dysmorphia in Individuals Who Overexercise“. Similarly to patients with eating disorders (EDs), active individuals usually worry about their body shape, put special attention on their eating patterns, show exercise dependence, and have a perfectionism personality trait. Furthermore, considering themselves too frail and flaccid, male gym clients often spend many hours a day at the gymnasium engaging in strength training programs, undergo hyperproteic diets, assume food integrators and in worst cases anabolic drugs, and continuously monitor their muscle development and their body mass. Despite these attitudes that have not yet been defined and coded in psychiatric nosography, this body image disorder has been addressed as bigorexia, reverse anorexia, or muscle dysmorphia (MD). In particular, this disorder shares many characteristics with ED (i.e., persistent and rigid eating patterns for weight control), Obsessive-compulsive disorder (i.e., compulsory body monitoring and exercise dependence) and body dysmorphic disorder (i.e., body image disorder), with the individuals, nonchalant of positive and negative comments, completely concentrating on themselves, fearing of being imperfect, feeling ashamed of showing themselves, etc.

Another scientific paper I am going to link below talks about HEALTH RISKS OF PROTEIN OVERDOSES. 32 studies (21 experimental human studies and 11 reviews) were identified. The adverse effects associated with long-term high protein/high meat intake in humans were disorders of bone and calcium homeostasis, disorders of renal function, increased cancer risk, disorders of liver function, and precipitated progression of coronary artery disease. The findings of the present study suggest that there is currently no reasonable scientific basis in the literature to recommend protein consumption above the current RDA (high protein diet) for healthy adults due to its potential disease risks.

While inhaling all these informations keep in mind that male teenagers as young as 14 years old are already hitting the gym, lifting weights and exercising excessively. Steriods are not the only risk of this beauty ideal/lifestyle.

Men are pressured to look a certain way by society, just like women. Some men are willing to go to harmful extremes to meet those societal expectations, just like women. It’s not a gendered issue despite the fact that we treat it like one.

Wow. @inflammabilis got triggered af

It’s almost as if white people are privleged in some way???? 🤔

Yeah, but they got nothing on those Asians, amiright?!

White privilege doesn't exist. You are a moron.
