The BBC reports that cases of eating disorders among men are skyrocketing in Britain, and that 'bigorexia' is becoming more prevalent. Link: bbc.co.uk
How do you avoid developing body dysmorphia when you're constantly exposed to imagery of extremely unusual, top 0.01% physiques and faces?
>he's balding
kek, the british are weak
By eating eggs.
Explain how that helps?
Is it really body dismorphia if you actually are small, fat and weak?
>Experts are also noticing a condition called "bigorexia," that is becoming increasingly common among boys and young men, influencing an obsession with muscle definition and body shape.
wow people wanting to look healthy and attractive gotta put a stop to that
Watch this and you'll understand.
Fuck off that's far too long a video to watch. Explain it to me in two sentences max

>tfw pretty sure my brother has 'bigorexia'
i DON'T know what to do. He is obsessed with having what he calls 'Perfect Muscular Skelatinous Structularity'. He thinks his body has to have a perfect ratio of bone to muscle and no fat can be tolerated
>Spends 5 hours a day working out
>Has hundreds of images of muscular men arranged in order of 'ratio' on his wall with lights highlighting the best ones for his goals
>incredibly autistic anorexic tier diet routine
>has measurements for every muscle in his body including hand and foot muscles that he takes everyday
>once broke down crying at the gym and had a panic attack because a muscle on his left hand had gotten unexpectedly smaller
>if you ask to see his big muscles he gets really defensive and starts saying 'haha i don't have big muscles yet need more workouts' and always goes to work out extra hard
>once told him he had rock hard abs as a joke and he started going outside and compulsively picking up rocks and smashing them into his stomach to prove me wrong
how do I help him
>(((BBC))) reports
Britain is fucked
I honestly cant believe any of this is true desu
Avoid? Body dysmorphia is your brain helping you make it
Is your brother actually you in this story? Get some help.
>Jack's now 20
>20
Imagine ageing that badly.

Be mentally healthy. Don't have such epic self hatred that you can be compelled by advertisers to nuke your own health or waste money in favor of moderately improving your size/attractiveness.
obviously keep pushing yourself, but at your core you need to be sure that you're doing this for you and no one else.
Men used to be immune to this type of media/self-induced mental illness. Why would men be vulnerable to it now? (don't go conspiracy theory on this question just think about personality traits that are encouraged by the modern world that weren't even fifteen years ago).
Whatever that change is, don't make it.
Just tell him there is a skeleton inside him right now and it will always be there, be careful though, as he might collapse into a singularity.
You should just read the thread desu
Goblina youtuber Brittany venti tells her DYEL bf that he should eat more for max gains.
He has body dysmorphia so he spergs out by making some revenge eggs and angrily eats them in front of her to prove a point.
She says he's not proving any point and tells him he looked better a year ago.
He slams the revenge eggs on the floor, and headbutts the wall.
Proceeds to loudly cry on the floor about how he used to look good a year ago while she records it.
That might backfire and end up boning him, though.
omg is that really Žydrūnas? He looks fantastic WTF the same shit happened to Brian Shawn. Nice, I hope in the future strongman is more about being strong than being a blob of fat
>fat fucks telling everybody that being obese is okay
>wanting to stay in shape is reported like it's the end of the world
how the fuck can anybody not start beleiving what Jow Forums says
this is some 1984 tier nightmare
>"obsession"
Most fit people aren't obsessed with how they look, opponents of fitness try to characterize fit people as obsessed to excuse their own weakness.
lanklets, when will they learn?
>>obsession
"yeah i'd like to get some muscles you know, maybe one day lift something super heavy"
>user you're obssesed you need profetional help
meanwhile look at the shit that gets posted in /fph/ threads to see what fatties are doing
first of all get him on diet that will make some gains
tell him that he can eat as much as what he eats now but he won't grow big
second, go to gym with him, teach him basics etc
and also teach him that he doesn't have to measure everything everyday becasue he will get frustarted
tell him to just stick to diet and workout and one day he will look in the mirror and see that he makes progress
then let him take measurements
tell him that lifting should be his hobby not his entire way of living
