This Substack is created by an epidemiologist/biostatistician and a certified strength and conditioning coach. We believe that we do not need to deny and misrepresent scientific reality in order to pursue weight neutral care and respect. The goal of this Substack is to highlight the scientific misunderstandings that Maintenance Phase (MP) falls prey to. We need compassionate, reputable, knowledgeable voices advocating for fat acceptance, and while MP has compassion for the topic in spades, they are not able to accurately convey scientific reality.
