Body shaming is wrong but In the disguise of Body positivity, obesity shouldn't be promoted. This is a real and serious issue with the society, especially in the societies of developed nations.
@Anjana Rani Lizzo just has criticized one part of it i.e. commercialisation, but the things you and I are speaking is far from discussion in the mainstream.
@Anjana Rani Well you seem to not understand body positivity all together if this is the point you are raising. Even if a person is obese and feel good about his own self. Thats body positivity. A person should not be shamed for being obese by media or people because for some people it is also just health conditions. Pcos and Pcod are real. You should work on you body weight only if it poses you health risks or you are not happy with it. But ofcourse media and people take it otherwise. You may not have suffered through fat shaming to starve yourself, even if you are perfectly healthy.Your comment does depicts that. Also side note. If someone does loik fat it doesnt necessaruly mean he is unhealthy many skinny people are unhealthy body is much complex than just how big you look. Basic science, research it up.
@Anjana Rani Why is obesity not good if it isn't harmful to your body?If someone is cool with being obese who are you to judge if that body weight is "okay" or not. Yeah the explaination is still pretty vague and still depicts obesity "not okay". If you are 'morbidly obese' then thats a issue. Its in the term itself 'morbid' meaning 'lethal'.More some open mind and healthy thinking about others and considering obesity as human and "okay" is also part of being healthy individual. P.s vague explainations requires huge "syllabus". 😂Lol i don't even know what you mean by that but I presume long paragraghs which u still cant seem to understand. Anyway your statements are funny to read. Good entertatinment.

An obese person has more chance to get such problems and that's why the person should be made aware of.

Kumar Jay, Plus size women are at greater risk of diabetes, heart-attack, genital problems, spinal problems, arthritis, mental dieases etc. Men also have similar complications.

Why ladies think so much about their looks? They should rather concentrate on how much they earn or what they are going to do in life ? Forget size ... earn , drink, eat ... enjoy life . God bless.
What matters is to have a healthy body. In the guise of body positivity unhealthy habits and obesity are promoted. What matters is to pursue what is actually right and correct rather than having an insular non-existent feeling good mindset.
Usually women with naturally thin bodies, not by starving, tend to live longer and great during physical intimacy. They are good for rich old men because their weight is less. However, in my view, women with big natural curves tend to make strong and intelligent babies.
It's not about thin or fat. Positive or negative. It's about being healthy. Science will tell you what a healthy weight is. Crudely being excessively thin or fat is not healthy.
@ fitness should be priority of every human being. Nobody should eat more than need. According to me there should be a law against obese people.

@@BaBaBoi-DoYouKnowTheWay I hv seen fat PPL eating like normal PPL and slim PPL eating everything and more than normal too not being exercise or fitness freaks and still not gaining weight sometimes coz of metabolism and sometimes because of body condition ( which can keep a person obese too) . I currently eat more but am reducing it with time I still may not loose weight my ideal bmi says weight of 65-75 kgs I am 98.9 now I will never go lower than 83-85 kg( but would eat more or even lesser ) would do occassional walking in the park if I want too . A taunt, comment ,rude behaviour ( for beauty and sexual purpose) are insult to one's family ,the person himself/herself . Over entitlement by one group in society and not just a choice . Like it is projected by the we don't care badass ,we can't be proper or the you get hurt and offended easily kinda groups in society. They can't be forgiven for what they have done over the years .
@@BaBaBoi-DoYouKnowTheWay Obesity is a much more nuanced and difficult issue to solve than just making sure "nobody should eat more than need." Obesity is influenced by several factors like mental health, stress, class, and genetics.
It's not wise to be comfortable with an unhealthy body. I put on around 60 pounds over the last couple of years and feel terrible. I tire quickly, I get short of breath easier, I'm less agile and the added weight has started to strain and hurt my knees. The only body images that the media and fashion industry should be promoting are the healthy ones. This of course does not mean a narrowly defined set of weight to height requirements, because of course everyone is different. But when you find that your low body weight is also making you weaker, or your extra body weight is making average activities more difficult, then you need to deal with these as a critically thinking person, and not from some place of denial.
Body positive was embarrassed by my wife, she stopped exercising started gaining weight rapidly, it had an impact on our lives and her health. She wouldn't go for walks with me and no longer wanted to participate in any activities because i could see that she was uncomfortable, it escalated to the point of being in a unhappy marriage. End result is now we're going through a divorce. I hope she'll find her happiness.
This is not just girls, boys too. Viewing women as humans and not as a collection of "sizes". The markets should size themselves according to the people, not the other way round.
@Tiny Boy When did I say u shouldn't factor in healthy. U can be into whoever u want to. This is not about you. It's about people treating people as humans first ⚡and I did say, "not just girls". It's not girls guys thing. People includes both. 👍🏻
Thing is that Americans are actually deluding themselves when it comes to sizes. Simply take a tape and measure yourself (bust, hips etc) and then look at the sizing. It is rather fascinating. Where I am from, I am either M or S. In the US I would be size zero....I am really not size zero. I have curves and hips. Please be more honest with yourself. Also, body positivity may sound great but plus size ladies and gents usually also battle serious health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure etc which is being swept under the rug. Accepting weight such as this is not being positive about your weight. This is dangerous. To accept that one does not look like a super model and being okay with it is good but don't try to hide your weight problem behind so called body positivity. If you are are xxl (because that is what size 14 means) then you actually have a gigantic problem and it is probably already biting your ass.
I hope all the plus size people understand what is “visceral fat” and how it damages health. My life is so good at lighter weight, most of my plus size friends got menstrual and many other health problem. Not all plus size is unhealthy but the chance is very high, I’d say 90%.
I think as long as your own body is not causing health problems for example obesity, we should accept our body. Body positivity should encourage things like being happy with your body inspite of being disabled, or some conditions you are born with ,something that you can't change and have to live with your whole different. People shouldn't shame those who are fat(excessive)but it is for those people to decide whether they want to lose weight or just be prone to problems that are caused because of their obesity.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. some ppl like small ladies some like big ladies.. I like both big and small women are gorgeous in all shapes and sizes. Youre beautiful as you are ladies 😍
You are the most sensible, unbiased journalist I have come across with and enjoy watching your show. The clarity in your communication and the content that you present are only added bonus to your show.
What a diplomatic approach! Please if you can’t guide people to be better, live better, please don’t confuse them with this kind of approach, educate people according to height what should be their average weight and accordingly people can work on themselves for better well-being.
Best statement: "..and that you do not let fashion brands dictate your body image" Aside from that, the topic of the public's generally worsening health seemed to be avoided. A symptom of the this decline is the increased number of overweight children and adults. At the end of the day, I don't know anyone that would prefer having a gut than a six-pack.
i am a stanford graduate. when i showed graphs in college campus and outside and told how fashion industry benefits (from body +vity which is a business) people bashed me. FB banned me. but everyone is now seeing palki and saying "she is right on face value". and i showed graphs (proof). whats wrong with this world? nobody listens to people with credibility. but if you listen to her and change your ways. better late than never.

A big shout-out to all the people in the comment section who shared this rare information that 'obesity is not healthy'. Nobody is perfectly healthy all the time. I am a so called healthy weight person but I am terribly unhealthy and guess what it really helps when people say it my face that I am not healthy. So thank you genius.
What body positivity was : this is my body and don't do body shaming on it. Body positivity now : I am plus size and I am going to normalise fatty unhealthy body.
Good job in taking on this sensitive topic! Women from patriarchal societies like in India are now coming out more and are having discussions on topics like this. They still have a long way to go since there are very few feeble voices in the political space in the country about similar issues since mostly men control the narrative!

Kumar Jay, Plus size women are at greater risk of diabetes, heart-attack, genital problems, spinal problems, arthritis, mental dieases etc. Men also have similar complications. I can empathize with them but then many tend to be poor performers on jobs or in married life. Being over-weight is a disease and must be treated as such kindly without any stigma or any harrassment.
Kumar Jay - I think is matters if the body is healthy to begin with!
among starving people they don't usually have the same concerns as you.
Oh man we need to talk about Petite too..living in North America..petite clothing is rare to find and always way more priced than normal.
It's hard to fine clothes that fit even in india now. I don't understand why they model clothes on 5'10 mannequins when average height in india is 5'1
Same in the US. Americans tend to be short and overweight but yet so much of the clothing is made for very thin tall women.
@@psuryadarshini5110 Give them back , dnt let anyone tell you anything like that, or turn deaf to them coz who cares. I only hate to pay so much for clothing because I dnt fit in the normal standard.
@@redwoodtrail I agree, I see a lot of petite women specially Asian and its disheartening to like piece of clothings which you can't get in your size.

There's a reason why women's cosmetics and "plus sized" clothes cost more.
What?
@@incaseyoumissedit9253 Many of them are vulnerable to being body-shamed and for "not being looking good enough". Usually men don't care about those things. We worry more about monthly bills and salary.

To me the most important thing is are you healthy. A healthy body comes from a healthy mind and hopefully a healthy attitude follows.
I was like 100 kilos in the past ... and yeah I was very positive and not shy or worried about myself .... until I went to a small jog with my cousin and realised that I have hit the danger spot ... then I got leaner with strict diet and strict workout plan for an year and came down to 65 kilos ... after that I felt so better active and alive to be frank ... if anyone of you is reading this ... just remember that you are beautiful but also check your physical capabilities ... there is no need to be a superman or a Wonder Woman atleast try to be fit enough so that you won’t be exhausted even for small physical activities you are doing ...
100% true palkiji behaviour is more important then body..
Body can affect behavior, stupid.
Plus is their new target segment now!
Thanks for sharing facts.
No body positivity, its dirty business.
Visibly thin women really ..... Any idea how people who are "thin" are treated ???? ...we face equal shaming coz we apparently aren't women enough ..... What about that ??? ...is it only plus that should be a part of discussion
Exactly!!
Spot on..

A lady called me scrawny the other day and told me it was a compliment.. I eat healthy and can't help that I was born skinny .. it's not my fault .. 😢
@@annaverano5843 I understand after a while you'll get resistant to all of it ...n start accepting the way you are
But the point that people shame everyone around needs to stop
I am all for people accepting and loving themselves. I am not for people putting each other down for being big or small. I am also against larger people shaming people who prefer to focus on health and keeping obesity at bay.
She always comes up with the right topics, even if they seem controvertial.
Why ladies think so much about their looks? They should rather concentrate on how much they earn or what they are going to do in life ? Forget size ... earn , drink, eat ... enjoy life . God bless.
Girls don't think that much, society force them to do so...

What matters is to have a healthy body. In the guise of body positivity unhealthy habits and obesity are promoted. What matters is to pursue what is actually right and correct rather than having an insular non-existent feeling good mindset.
Smt. Palki is great magician She hypnotize every one with her positivity and truth . How lucky are those people who are in friend circle of Palki .

The beauty standards are set by Caucasian men in the fashion industry who want female models with the bodies of teenage boys.
Usually women with naturally thin bodies, not by starving, tend to live longer and great during physical intimacy. They are good for rich old men because their weight is less. However, in my view, women with big natural curves tend to make strong and intelligent babies.

This wat spot on thank you! I run a travel website for plus size people, and I speak of the fashion industry all the time in my meetings with brands
Plus size is ok until the "health card" is put into play. Then body positivity comes flying right off the window.

Why diss Adele? She wanted to be healthy for herself and be comfortable in her own skin. What is wrong in that
Being healthy is objective.
It doesn't depend on perception.
She didn't say anything about Adele... She pointed out how people called it "beauty transformation"
@@soniadsilva0505 bhootni transformation 😂
What a subject, what a vision, felt the same, but your team articulated it in a straight way...
This applies to boys also now a days .

It's not about thin or fat. Positive or negative. It's about being healthy. Science will tell you what a healthy weight is. Crudely being excessively thin or fat is not healthy.
Someone talking facts. Thank you for bringing this truth out!
Hello WION, Their Are Some Indian Bots Down!
Please Block Them!
Stay fit this body positive moment can disturb the health states.
The point is to stop shaming , taunting fitness is fine .
@ fitness should be priority of every human being. Nobody should eat more than need. According to me there should be a law against obese people.
@@BaBaBoi-DoYouKnowTheWay I hv seen fat PPL eating like normal PPL and slim PPL eating everything and more than normal too not being exercise or fitness freaks and still not gaining weight sometimes coz of metabolism and sometimes because of body condition ( which can keep a person obese too) . I currently eat more but am reducing it with time I still may not loose weight my ideal bmi says weight of 65-75 kgs I am 98.9 now I will never go lower than 83-85 kg( but would eat more or even lesser ) would do occassional walking in the park if I want too . A taunt, comment ,rude behaviour ( for beauty and sexual purpose) are insult to one's family ,the person himself/herself . Over entitlement by one group in society and not just a choice . Like it is projected by the we don't care badass ,we can't be proper or the you get hurt and offended easily kinda groups in society. They can't be forgiven for what they have done over the years .
@@BaBaBoi-DoYouKnowTheWay Obesity is a much more nuanced and difficult issue to solve than just making sure "nobody should eat more than need." Obesity is influenced by several factors like mental health, stress, class, and genetics.
Great Segment. But I have to admit that i am in love with Palki. It’s her brain and beauty!
It's not wise to be comfortable with an unhealthy body. I put on around 60 pounds over the last couple of years and feel terrible. I tire quickly, I get short of breath easier, I'm less agile and the added weight has started to strain and hurt my knees. The only body images that the media and fashion industry should be promoting are the healthy ones. This of course does not mean a narrowly defined set of weight to height requirements, because of course everyone is different. But when you find that your low body weight is also making you weaker, or your extra body weight is making average activities more difficult, then you need to deal with these as a critically thinking person, and not from some place of denial.
Gravitas is #1,Palki Sharma really makes you open your eyes, the best in the industry.
Advertisement industry in biggest racist...
Showing women body with every product , shows their cheap standard
Body positive was embarrassed by my wife, she stopped exercising started gaining weight rapidly, it had an impact on our lives and her health. She wouldn't go for walks with me and no longer wanted to participate in any activities because i could see that she was uncomfortable, it escalated to the point of being in a unhappy marriage.
End result is now we're going through a divorce. I hope she'll find her happiness.
You can share this video with her! Wish you guys all the best
This is not just girls, boys too. Viewing women as humans and not as a collection of "sizes". The markets should size themselves according to the people, not the other way round.
@Tiny Boy When did I say u shouldn't factor in healthy. U can be into whoever u want to. This is not about you. It's about people treating people as humans first ⚡and I did say, "not just girls". It's not girls guys thing. People includes both. 👍🏻
@Tiny Boy yes. That's brain washing
Indian dress is so comfy not like tight jeans women feel so uncomfortable in tight clothes Muslim clothes are so comfy as well brilliant ❤️❤️❤️
Fashion brands are about making money, no concern for women's health, physical or mental. Be a vigilant and intentional fashion consumer.

Thing is that Americans are actually deluding themselves when it comes to sizes. Simply take a tape and measure yourself (bust, hips etc) and then look at the sizing. It is rather fascinating. Where I am from, I am either M or S. In the US I would be size zero....I am really not size zero. I have curves and hips. Please be more honest with yourself. Also, body positivity may sound great but plus size ladies and gents usually also battle serious health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure etc which is being swept under the rug. Accepting weight such as this is not being positive about your weight. This is dangerous. To accept that one does not look like a super model and being okay with it is good but don't try to hide your weight problem behind so called body positivity. If you are are xxl (because that is what size 14 means) then you actually have a gigantic problem and it is probably already biting your ass.
I hope all the plus size people understand what is “visceral fat” and how it damages health. My life is so good at lighter weight, most of my plus size friends got menstrual and many other health problem. Not all plus size is unhealthy but the chance is very high, I’d say 90%.
Your last sentence was just amazing ❤️❤️
...IN A WORD, PROFIT!... THESE ARE WOMEN, NOT GIRLS!!!...DAMN
This is seriously a really good report. 👏👏
I think as long as your own body is not causing health problems for example obesity, we should accept our body.
Body positivity should encourage things like being happy with your body inspite of being disabled, or some conditions you are born with ,something that you can't change and have to live with your whole different.
People shouldn't shame those who are fat(excessive)but it is for those people to decide whether they want to lose weight or just be prone to problems that are caused because of their obesity.
I saw ur 1 video...and I started loving journalism......this is pure journalism 💜👌
Thanks for showing us the real picture behind all this, appreciate your work.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. some ppl like small ladies some like big ladies.. I like both big and small women are gorgeous in all shapes and sizes. Youre beautiful as you are ladies 😍
💝💝💝... love for gravitas plus segment
You are the most sensible, unbiased journalist I have come across with and enjoy watching your show. The clarity in your communication and the content that you present are only added bonus to your show.
What a diplomatic approach! Please if you can’t guide people to be better, live better, please don’t confuse them with this kind of approach, educate people according to height what should be their average weight and accordingly people can work on themselves for better well-being.
Maybe you could do in the obsession of fair skin in Indian beauty standards too🍊
Let’s be ok by different sizes. Not everyone over eats.
I really enjoy your journalism. Thank you!!
Best statement: "..and that you do not let fashion brands dictate your body image"
Aside from that, the topic of the public's generally worsening health seemed to be avoided. A symptom of the this decline is the increased number of overweight children and adults. At the end of the day, I don't know anyone that would prefer having a gut than a six-pack.
i am a stanford graduate. when i showed graphs in college campus and outside and told how fashion industry benefits (from body +vity which is a business) people bashed me. FB banned me. but everyone is now seeing palki and saying "she is right on face value". and i showed graphs (proof). whats wrong with this world? nobody listens to people with credibility. but if you listen to her and change your ways. better late than never.
Looks credible
Looks Indian
Looks confident
Looks gutsy
Looks an empowered woman
Looks like having thousands of people backing her up
Looks like a conventional pretty feminine
Looks well groomed
Looks good in communicating
Looks clean and professional
Looks better if compared to her peers.
Looks established in her field of choice
Looks talking something important and necessary even if not from the industry the topic is from
Looks polished and sophisticated but also looks cultured and traditional
Looks respectful, trustworthy and the content too looks well hyped.
Looks looks looks and looks.
Package your product well for the masses. Even if it is not a product. Nobody is looking for honesty and Truth. Mostly are looking at how you are presenting it.
Atleast you know and you tried to bring to light your research. Don't give up. Learn and move on. Would definitely like to read your research. Could you give the link for it?
Be happy with your body, but hit the gym too. Gyms aren’t just for losing weight or gaining weight.

A big shout-out to all the people in the comment section who shared this rare information that 'obesity is not healthy'. Nobody is perfectly healthy all the time. I am a so called healthy weight person but I am terribly unhealthy and guess what it really helps when people say it my face that I am not healthy. So thank you genius.

Good job in taking on this sensitive topic! Women from patriarchal societies like in India are now coming out more and are having discussions on topics like this. They still have a long way to go since there are very few feeble voices in the political space in the country about similar issues since mostly men control the narrative!
