Magic Mike

 I went and saw Magic Mike on Sunday night with a few girlfriends.  I love this movie, it was surely one of the most exciting movies for me to watch.  It had quite a bit of male posterior nudity.  (Big Smile spreading across my face.) It was refreshing to see a movie that for once objectified the male body.  There are quite a few movies that objectify women, and although I feel that the way our society objectifies women is completely over done, I do believe a little bit of objectification is completely okay, as it is appreciating the human body and all it has to offer.  Especially when people take good care of their bodies by providing it with nutrition and adequate exercise. 

However the objectification that is of the "ideal" body for females is ridiculous.  I point this out to a lot of women that have a healthy looking body and claim that they need to go on a diet. 
I am very passionate that dieting is one of the worst things that you can do to your body, especially with the restriction of Carbohydrates (my science friends and I write this CHO to represent the Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen that make up the molecule).  One thing I want EVERYONE in the entire world to know is that Carbohydrates are our number one source of energy.  Everything thereafter just isn't able to create ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate) which is the currency that you body uses to do anything! 

Think about it this way, have you ever gone on a low carb, or no carb diet?  Think about the mood that you were in.  Almost guarenteed (unless you have some weird supernatural powers) you were anywhere from irritable, extremely irritable, to irrational.  This is your body telling you that it NEEDS Carbohydrates.

One of the other things that bothers me is the fear that pregnant women have over gaining any weight during pregnancy.  Mind you, you can gain TOO much weight with the crazy notion that you need to "Eat for Two"  (BullShniky!) But you do need to gain some weight, because that weight is what helps the baby grow.  Otherwise that baby is going to steal the weight from you, and run your own body down, which is not healthy for the mother, and the baby will not get the necessary nutrients that it needs to grow inside a womb.  Who wants to have an unhealthy pregnancy and deliver a sick child (To my Outlander friends, a changeling.) Because as common sense will tell us, there are no fairies that will come down and switch our sick babies out for healthy ones.  It's all science.  Which is why I love it so much.  Nutrition. . . Key part

(Wow I went from a movie into nutrition, just a great example of how my mind works.)
