My experience

My name is Jasmine, and this project is a response to an ongoing struggle I face today. For a while, I was only eating ~1300 calories per day, which is about 38% of the 3400 calories my body needs to stay alive.

This led me to lose about 5 lbs (2.2kg) per week. This number is insane considering the CDC recommends that you loose 1-2lbs. While I've improved in realizing this issue I'm still only eating ~1700 calories per day, which is a huge jump, but still only 50% of my bodies needs.

Physique inflation

This is Arnold Schwarzenegger on a ton of steroids in the 1970s. He looks huge, but in 2024, his physique is considered mid-tier.

Physique inflation

This is a natural bodybuilder who won the MCR bodybuilding competition. He is the best of the best when it comes to natural bodybuilding. His physique is completely unachievable due to insane genetics. Nobody can recreate this physique through simply hard work.

Consequences

This amount of insane physiques that are simply unachievable but still shown to hundreds of millions of teenagers.

This leads many to go onto fat loss diets and aggressive mass gain diets. Neither of these options is healthy, and neither of them will get you any closer to a roided-out bodybuilder with godlike genetics.

Aggressive fat loss

Agressive fat loss can have have a lot of consequences, including dizziness, fatigue, abnormal heart rhythm, low blood pressure, and feeling cold all the time. Agressive fat loss phases can also lead to an eating disorder.
