Guys - Do You Suffer from "Bigorexia"?
On the Absurdity of the Medical Establishment
Friends - you really can’t make this stuff up. This article came to my attention about 10 minutes ago. It was published by the moronic and ridiculous “HuffPost” that blasts out oodles of bullshit on a daily basis. The jews that control HuffPuss are even letting us know that this article is filled with bullshit by claiming the last name of its author is BOLOGNA!
Normally, I would just pass this kind of nonsense by, but I felt I had to comment on this because is it so RIDICULOUS and MORONIC and a true testament to the idiocracy we refer to as the medical establishment - especially the fields of psychology and psychiatry (totally controlled by jews).
Please note that, because jewish men tend to be flabby, lazy and weak, they have now decided to claim that well-built young man who exercise and eat consciously have a disorder.
I cannot help but laugh at what these creatures put forth as a “diagnosis”. Are people really so dumbed down that they will now claim someone they know has this “disease”? Are they also so stupid that they will agree to take toxic “medicine” filled with nanotechnology to “treat” this “disease”.
Below are some of the highlights of this laughable article:
“22% of adolescent boys [are] engaged in ‘muscularity-oriented disordered eating behaviors’”
these boys suffer from “muscle dysmorphia”, aka “bigorexia”
these boys tend toward “unhealthy” behaviors such as “obsessive exercise” and “eating to be as lean as possible”
“bodybuilders and other people who lift weights are at a higher risk than the general population”
So… to all you body builders out there, and men who exercise and watch their diet — STOP IT!!! If you want to be “healthy” (i.e., more like the jewish men who use “psychology” and “psychiatry” to try to control the minds of non-jewish youth), then please stop exercising and start gorging yourselves on all kinds of toxic GMO foods. And please also spend a whole lot of your time sitting around using your mental capacities to try figure out how to gain control over other people’s thoughts and behavior.

Parents today are generally aware of mental health conditions that relate to body image, including common disorders like anorexia. But experts warn a lesser-known issue is on the rise, particularly among boys: muscle dysmorphia, aka “bigorexia.”
“Bigorexia is a psychological condition and type of body dysmorphic disorder which involves a distorted self-image that focuses specifically on muscle size and physical appearance,” Kara Becker, a certified eating disorder therapist and national director of eating disorder programs at Newport Healthcare, told HuffPost.
With bigorexia, the afflicted person is obsessed with becoming more muscular and preoccupied with the idea that their body isn’t brawny enough ― even if they actually have the physique of a bodybuilder.
“Individuals may have an inaccurate view of their bodies, often believing they are smaller or less muscular,” said Amy Gooding, a clinical psychologist at Eating Recovery Center, Baltimore. “This belief and subsequent preoccupation can lead to unhealthy behaviors, including obsessive exercise, and may lead to changing one’s eating to be as lean as possible.”
Although muscle dysmorphia can affect anyone, it’s more common in males, and research suggests the disorder is on the rise. A 2019 study indicated that 22% of adolescent boys engaged in “muscularity-oriented disordered eating behaviors” in an attempt to bulk up or gain weight and found that supplements, dietary changes and even steroid use were common among young adult males.
“Eating disorders in boys are often under-recognized and under-diagnosed, said Jason Nagata, a pediatrician specializing in eating disorders in boys and men, who co-authored the study.
He noted that a recent Canadian study found that hospitalizations for eating disorders in male patients had risen dramatically since 2002.
“While there’s more awareness around eating disorders, muscle dysmorphia can be overlooked for several reasons ― one reason being that it can lead to behaviors often encouraged in the weight room,” Gooding said. “Lack of awareness of the disorder may lead to the disorder being missed in someone who is struggling, as this is one of the less well-known disorders. Those who struggle may hesitate to reach out for help due to shame, secrecy or the normalization of the behaviors in the community.”
What’s fueling the rise of bigorexia in kids and young adults?
“There are many potential causes and influences, including biological, psychological and sociocultural factors that can contribute to the development of this disorder,” Becker said. “A family history of mental health conditions, especially disorders related to body image or anxiety, may increase the chance of developing bigorexia. Likewise, people with low self-esteem, perfectionism or obsessive-compulsive tendencies are more vulnerable to developing this disorder.”
Trauma and bullying are potential risk factors for bigorexia as well.
“Bodybuilders and other people who lift weights are at a higher risk than the general population,” Nagata said. “Competitive athletes are more at risk than noncompetitive athletes. Athletes who lift weights to change the appearance of their bodies are at higher risk than those who focused on improving performance.”
The experts who spoke to HuffPost agreed that one of the biggest factors contributing to the rise of bigorexia is the proliferation of social media.
“Not only are young people consuming body ideals from the media, but they feel pressure to produce content and display their own bodies on social media,” Nagata said. “Men’s bodies are on display more than ever on social media, especially through influencer accounts. Constant comparisons to these idealized bodies may lead to body dissatisfaction and bigorexia.”
The overemphasis on an idealized physical appearance in media and advertising is particularly harmful for younger boys, who might not fully appreciate that influencers and celebrities actually make their livelihood off images of their bodies. It’s a different reality that is unattainable (not to mention undesirable) for most people.
