Being fat adds another layer of trauma to the existing mental health issues impacting today’s modern world. How did that impact the Fatsos? What have they done about it individually to emerge? Will they ever fully recover? How do they navigate the world with their learnings and demons? Ameya and Pallavi discuss some never-before shared personal experiences as they journey through their experience with mental health. And come to a realisation about oxygen masks and kindness.
Also, Ameya gets back to ranting, a few times!

Today, Ameya and Pallavi talk about two very important things: fatphobia and fat liberation. If you've ever felt that your very existence as a fatso made you... less, that you needed to apologise for it, to disappear, if you hate fat bodies and reject them even though you have one, you're dealing with fatphobia. Why do we hate fat bodies so much? And what can we do about it? Listen now to find out.

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.

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.

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!
