      Not saying you’re wrong but sugar addiction is a thing and we’re all part of it. One day we’ll treat sugar the right way, it’s far worse than other drugs.

      If only wed thought of that before, wed have no obesity epidemic. Thanks for the amazing insight. Now, if only we could let everyone know.

      Generally people have tried eating less and moving more but not enough. Clearly its not just a motivation or time or diet issue given it occurs everywhere worldwide, even places like Japan and Greek islands with the worlds healthiest diets.

        I’ve lost count of the arguments I’ve gotten into where someone repeats the “eat less and move” refrain, and refuses to accept that people who actually research this stuff and control for those variables have concluded “it’s way more complicated than that.”

      Though this comes off as flippant, it is relevant.

      Via the use of these drugs, patients may gain the ability to change their perception on food, as well as achieve greater mobility by losing weight.

      It’s not a sure thing, but the chance to pilot a healthier body in a healthier lifestyle may be significantly motivating, such that patients can independently maintain new goals

      How dare you suggest a sane and healthy way to manage weight that requires a modicum of self-control and determination instead of using a pharmaceutical shortcut that alters biochemistry with poorly understood consequences. Its like you don’t even care about the shareholders.

        A modicum? It sounds like you have absolutely no idea what addiction is like.

        Maybe you should read the labels of food and see exactly how much corn syrup is in damn near everything. There’s no feasible way to escape it and maintain a healthy diet.

          You must eat a crazy amount of processed and artificially sweetened food if you think HFCS is unavoidable.

          Regardless, you don’t get fatter in a calorie deficit and that is just a fact of science. Eat less or do more, pick one to start losing weight but both together are fastest.

          Don’t eat processed food. If it comes in box or plastic, it is likely processed.

          Produce, meat and carbs do need prep tho most of the time.

            You should really see just how much processing goes into the meats, produce and carbs.

            Factory farming predominantly uses nutritionally deficient grain and corn to quickly fatten up the livestock quickly, before slaughter and often quite extensive processing to keep the meat looking pretty and last longer.

            Produce is picked long before its ripe, and forced to ripen, which as a process, doesn’t let the produce develop the full capability of nutrition.

            As for grains all the nutritionally useful stuff is ground away for the nice white grains and flours we use.
