Fat. So?

In this final episode of season 10, the fatsos tackle the biggest themes of all: relationships. How does being fat affect your relationship, with friends, lovers, family? Listen to hear about Pallavi's family drama and witness Ameya have a couple of epiphanies--live!

It's finally here! The episode where Pallavi and Ameya get to rant (a LOT) about chairs. And other things, of course. They talk about all the ways in which the world is physically hostile to fatsos, how they've felt while navigating it, and how they have found some peace at last. Plus, rants! Yes, even Pallavi!

Sex - that exciting, taboo, controversial, fun thang that almost everyone thinks of, wants, craves and desires. However, are there enough conversations around it and especially sex for fat people. As Ameya shares her liberated views, Pallavi has a darker journey to the fun times. Things we discuss in this episode :  Big Big Love by Hanne Blank Unbuttoned, the podcast

Moving your body is just the most natural thing, but when you are fat it gets layered with the need for it to result in weight loss. In addition the “exercise industry” which shows fit people get fitter and is not inclusive to larger sizes. As Ameya rants about gyms and waxes lyrical about boxing, Pallavi shares some research on exercise and weight loss as well as her own struggle with finding a movement that works for her.  Things we discuss in this episode: Linda Bacon's Health at Every Size Jason Fung's The Obesity Code Inspiring people we follow - liftlikegaya3 on Instagram Movement suggestions that work for us - Rejuvenation Fitness Group Sivananda Yoga Metabolic Renewal by Jade Theta Figure 8 by Jaana

Food! Can't live with it; can't live without it. Jokes apart, our love for food is only biology, but the love-hate relationship we have with it is all society. We're bombarded by information and "science", and every 2 years the forbidden foods change. In this episode, listen to Pallavi talk some food and metabolism science, while Ameya discusses the age-old fat is bad for you theory. Plus: potatoes, pizza, fasting, feasting and more!
