Say no to body shaming, but make no mistake the body positive movement is harmful and unscientific!
After gaining a lot of weight in the early 2003 to 2006 due to my own lack of focus, for the last 15 years I have been totally focused on better health and its even a part of my leadership workshops.
Now I am in my 7th year of regular exercising, martial arts and good diet and have decided to get into my 50s (in another 11 months) in a better shape than ever before!
Of course, we can all meet with accidents or for example get cancer without any reason, but the idea is to try and live happy and fit till the last day! The truth is when you don’t smoke or drink you do reduce your chances of cancer hugely!
I have deducted salaries of overweight seniors in my organisation - who opted for the weight linked salary structure!!
At this point as well one of my colleagues has to send me a daily live location on WhatsApp while he does his 90 min walk and I can actually see him walking on the tracker. And cross check on video calls. At the end of his session he has to send me a snap shot of his fitness tracker with the time and distance covered!! His target is to lose 64kgs in the next 18 months!!!
Yes I love health conscious fit people.
My father was over weight and mostly fat throughout his life. I loved him more than I loved anyone else in this world!! A lot of my closest friends are fat and I love them today! So I am all for loving people irrespective of their religion, race, body shape. And BODY SHAMING is totally not acceptable.
But just like I have scientific reasons to believe that religious people are low IQ similarly I find the body positive movement uneducated, unscientific and outright illogical. It is pure and simple lazy living in denial of science. While body shaming is shameful, the opposite of it isn’t body positive. That’s irrational - however much it hurts.
That too specially since it’s carried out on social media to get acceptance!!
No doctor agrees with the body positive movement (a research showed that only 1.5% of them agreed). All research and scientific evidence points out to the undeniable fact that extra weight is the key reason behind Hypertension, Diabetes, Kidney issues and thus early death (apart from infertility of course)..
And most importantly it’s untrue that appreciating fitness is a social media learnt trait. Research has shown that even new borns react more positively towards fit people!!
So instead of living in denial. Get up. Get ready. Exercise before starting your day. And far more importantly eat good food - but less.
Really less.
>>>>> As the saying goes- eat your food like medicine today, unless you want to eat medicines like food tomorrow. <<<<<
Get fit for your own sake, get fit for the people you love and get fit to manage your finances better (because we earn for our whole life at the end of the day to spend on our hospitalisation expenses as we grow old)..
And yes appreciate every fit person around you. That fit body is a result of a lot of hard work, sincerity, focus and control over gluttony. It didn’t come by being lazy and eating fast food and accumulating cholesterol.
Cheers!!

  86% Indians fear losing their jobs due to the Pandemic as per a recent online survey. The fear has completely stopped economic activities and spending. We must remove the fear and start the economy. For that we need to guarantee everyone that jobs or no job, they will be economically secure through a minimum unemployment allowance (double of which should be the minimum wages). It requires a simple four step process: 1. Create an online database of job seekers based on their Adhaar Card number. 2. Make it totally illegal to employ anyone for any kind of job without registering his/her Aadhaar Card number. 3. The moment Adhaar Card number is fed in the list of employed, it gets automatically removed from the job seekers register and they stop getting unemployment allowance. 4. Everyone getting unemployment allowance will have to necessarily do 4 hours of social and community service as directed by the registry. Employers will also know who is seeking jobs where and their qualificat...

D ear Arvind Kejriwal, As my relatives, acquaintances and students die avoidable deaths; I am completely mad on the current regime at the centre. But for every death - in reality a MURDER - in Delhi, you have equal blood on your hands. You were sitting and spending 150cr advertising yourself just between Jan to March this year while the cases increased. You did nothing for the last one year when Delhi needed at least 20,000 extra ICU beds if not more. And each bed obviously means extra oxygen facility. You have no shame to say that PM CARES fund didn’t come. Didn’t you have calculations? You are from IIT. Didn’t you know that making a few oxygen plants cost nothing compared to your state budget and so called landmark health budget? And you are FOOLING EVEN TODAY by saying lies like tomorrow even if there are 30k cases per day Delhi is now going to be equipped. You are a congenital liar. In case your IIT brain can’t calculate properly, let me help you. For every reported case in Delhi, ...

No PM after being elected should ever again be allowed to abdicate his responsibilities and go missing during every crisis. To strengthen democracy in INDIA, the entire MEDIA should come together and demand a LAW which makes it mandatory forever for any PM of INDIA to interact with the media once every fortnight at least for 60 min, & take a minimum of 15 questions from different journalists - 5 each from leading print media, electronic media & online media - with top 20 media houses from each field getting minimum of one chance by rotation to ask questions every two months. This will permanently end the godi media fraud. We can never ever again let a leader of India be unanswerable to it’s people - who are represented by the media - or develop a cosy relationship with a few media houses and keep the people of the INDIA in dark.
