Virgie Tovar is great and you have a right to remain fat is a fab little book and would really recommend it to anyone, I’m not fat and loved it and gained from reading it. Diet culture is unhealthy, there’s tons of scientific studies that show no one keeps weight off they regain plus some, and how bad it is for you.
But that doesn’t mean that everyone should be as large as grace and constantly breathless on YouTube, there’s far more nuance to it than that. There’s a variety of body shapes & sizes that people will find themselves naturally landing at, and Virgie’s message is not starving / depriving yourself to fit the Eurocentric beauty ideal of skinniness/being lean if that is not how your body is. I think it’s obvious that actively gaining significant amounts of weight quickly (or becoming so huge it’s not possible to live properly) is of concern to medical professionals and needs acknowledging, if you’re a 10 who shoots up to a 16 there is something that needs checking out but that’s not to say being a 10 or a 16 alone is worrying. Same with depriving yourself of a nutritious mixture of food, that needs sorting. It sounds like the YT video was purposefully reductive if it suggested Virgie advocates for you just getting unwell as she doesn’t.
Your pregnancy folder carry case literally tells you you don’t need more food when pregnant, in your third trimester you need 200 additional calories a day which is like what, 3 bananas??
