This whole trend of gut health being the new weightloss is reminding me of the whole hesitancy to say you want to lose weight for esthetic reasons, it is all about health nowadays. I mean dont get me wrong, health should be a big reason but why did it become bad to want to look good.

Goodness yes. “I feel bloated” is (generally) the new “I feel fat.” It’s all about selling bs to people and trendy marketing. Man, I wish I could go back 15 years and tell myself not to listen to all the crap put out into the world about “health.” Thanks for another great video! ❤️

I believed for a while on the bloated thing, just because I'm "skinny" but my belly is "bigger than it should be". And I think you're absolutely right about it. I never feel like I needed to lost weight, but when bloating started to come up it had my undivided attention. Good think my attention window is not that wide, so after I start adding strengh training i kinda forget about the whole bloated thing.

I just realised this is true for me too. I've never been concerned about my belly in the past, but realised in the last months I've been complaining about being "bloated" at the beginning of the week or before my period a lot. But hey. It's always been like that, I just never thought it was important so didn't even notice it. What I find super interesting, though, is that I only follow body positive/neutral influencers with a focus on intuitive eating and scientific thinking. So the debunking that they do in their videos made me probably realise that other women have this issue and then I subconsciously subconsciously wonder if I should have this problem too. Haha, such a damned if you do and damned if you don't social media problem 🙈😅

In 2018, there were a LOT of "decrease bloating"/"low FODMAP diets"/"inflammation prevention" before it swung around to skinny girls calling themselves body positive for clout (nothing against skinny people being body positive, but being celebrated because you love your body in spite of a tiny bit of fat feels like a low bar to clear). Now it looks like we're back to inflammation, gut health, and keto. It's like time doesn't exist

I was just thinking about the bloating thing the other day. 15 years ago you could say you wanted to lose your belly fat but now that is "fatphobic" so now we have to change our verbage to "I just dont want to be bloated" but we all know, we want the same results. It is right up there with the fact we are being pushed to fix our gut health. Yes, gut health is important, but they have now made everyone freaked out and obsessed with something that probably wasn't a problem in the first place.

@darcyferrigno 2 жыл бұрын

Sidenote: I went over to a friends house awhile back and she has so many freaking supplements on her kitchen counter it was unbelievable. First, it would take me all day to take them all and secondly the money spent every month. I mean how bad could her gut health be to require that level of supplementation?

Can we talk more about that bellypooch and female anatomy though... I have a belly pooch and I never thought it was a problem until media made it so. I realized that it won't go away with diet and exercise pretty fast, my weight is on the low end and my musclemass decent - and I had a tummy tuck operation, so it's not just skin. So far, I have concluded that: 1. I'm short, 165cm (5'4). 2. I have proportionally long legs and a shorter upper body... But by far the most important part: 3. I HAVE A UTERUS! NO amount of 'dead bug' or 'plank' will remove that?! I hate the focus on the 'belly pooch' so much, because from my point of view, it is just another way to shame one of the most crazy amazing organs in the world. Great video (again) Justina!

@__Tiziana__ 2 жыл бұрын

I don't think having an uterus has anything to do with "belly pooch", otherwise all women would have a little bit of a tummy and that's definitely not the case. Also, if you're 1.65 m tall, you're not short at all, unless you live in one of those Northern Europe countries where the average stature is very high. And lastly, I'm sure you look amazing! Very jealous of your long legs! Don't worry about a thing, I'm willing to bet you're perfectly fine. Have a beautiful day!

@JustinaErcole 2 жыл бұрын

I think the key thing to remember here is that we're all built differently. So some women will have a flat stomach. Some women will have a little pooch because of where their uterus sits. And some women will have a pooch just because they store fat in that area. The more we can focus on how our bodies move and feel, the less we have to worry about these (mostly) unattainable aesthetic goals :)

@@MadMadMandy Okay, first of all: hello fellow European, from an Italian friend! : ) I totally understand now why you can feel a little uncomfortable from time to time, but please, remember that: 1) you're not short; 2) being short is fine; 3) if you want to spend a few days living as a really tall person, come visit my region (I'm almost 10 cm less than you and I'm actually considered average/on the taller side where I live), you'd be my guest! : ) Seriously! I'll repeat myself over the last few things: ignore this belly pooch social media stigma, because it's stupid, and focus more on the many beautiful qualities that you definitely have. Oh, and listen to Justina too! : ) I want to be honest, I didn't think the uterus thing was real! I thought that everyone had roughly the same size of the organ and that it didn't affect your physical appearance at all. I was clearly wrong! I want to apologize for being this ignorant.

Hey! Is it just a stomach vacuum that you perform for a minute? Stomach vacuums are believed to be a way to strengthen the TVA, which is the muscle in charge of "drawing in" in the midsection.
