“This is one of the best and most comprehensive looks at why weight loss must be individualized and nuanced. It’s also a warning call that diets that proclaim to “work for everyone” are inherently bunk. My only qualm is that when looking back at the history of society’s expectation for weight, there was a brief narrative sentence that gave me pause about flappers coming into style when women were working during WWII which was also around the time women go the right to vote. It’s the second time I’ve heard a podcast conflate the period between 1919 - 1945 as being sort of one moment in history, and it made me wonder about the veracity of the history in the entire episode. It’s possible it was simply the way it was worded, and I’ve no doubt that the history of beauty standards could likely be its own in-depth podcast, but it did plant a little red flag of doubt in my brain about how some of the science may have been summarized and presented, which is unfortunate because I think it’s likely presented very well!”
