Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonism - GLP-1, common in obesity medicines - is not essential to weight management, according to preclinical research led by Richard DiMarchi and Matthias Tschöp, with funding from their startup company Bluewater Biosciences.
If you are counting calories you aren’t doing it right in the first place. Fruits and vegetables are your friend, you can gorge endlessly on them, no one got fat off northern fruit, or vegetables (obviously excluding staples like corn and potatoes.)
Find a way to make vegetables palatable. The other big factor is your gut biome, which can be improved by eating raw veggies, some fruits, and by things like making your own pickled mixes, non distilled vinegar on raw cut veggies, like peppers, cabbage, garlic, onion, peppercorns, and the like. No salt needed if you ask me.
Then the excercize of course, if you can get into an activity, something you look forward to doing.
The biggest drivers of obesity are pop for starters, diet is even worse in other ways. But also all the processed garbage. Whole grains, whole foods in general. Good luck.
Also I should add, sugar propaganda has fobbed off harms on fat, which is important, you want healthy fats obviously, but the stomach doesn’t recognize being full until it has it’s portion of fat and you will overeat.
Unsolicited dieting advice. Cool. Thanks.
You know I’ve managed to go 41 years without ever hearing any of this, or incorporating any of it into my daily life.
Hard to believe, but I’ve spent all that time under a rock, eating pasta and donuts. A very large rock.
Who the fuck are you? Who the fuck do you think you’re talking to? Did you read a fucking word I said, or any of the parents above this?
Or do you just come here to fat shame under the guise of providing “advice” to people who have been hearing it from literally everybody in their life? Does that make you feel better about fat shaming? By thinking you’re doing a good thing?
You know what’s really fucked is I’ve talked the same way you do, when I’m at my lows. Goes to show how much self-loathing is involved in being fat.
Eat less, move more. It’s so simple. Why didn’t I think of that.
Even if you sincerely don’t think you’re fat-shaming, you are. The way you are speaking, is, ironically, belittling. Talking down to me like I’m an idiot. Sorry if that’s not the case, but fuck you regardless.
I’m not the person you’ve been responding to. You’re not wrong that it’s hard, but it really is simple. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.
People keep comparing it to drug addiction and that’s pretty a pretty good comparison. Telling a drug addict to stop using drugs is not usually productive on its own because doing so is extremely difficult. However, quitting or severely limiting usage is still the ultimate goal of any addiction treatment plan. The steps are simple but difficult to implement.
