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.
Also if you have basically an addiction to food, this is like telling a drug addict “just use less heroin!” And the survival rate of withdrawals from stopping cold turkey with food is approximately 0%. So you will be managing that addiction for your entire life.
Withour a doubt.
Addicted to alcohol? Stop drinking. You can’t control an addiction so you have to completely stop.
Addicted to cigarettes? Stop smoking. You can’t control an addiction so you have to completely stop.
Addicted to crack? Stop smoking crack. You can’t control an addiction so you have to completely stop.
Addicted to food? Must be your fault for being weak-willed. Just don’t consume so much of that thing that you’re addicted to. You can control your addiction. Just stop being a loser…
The literal solution to every addiction is stop it, cold turkey. One Day At A Time. But you can’t stop eating food.
Well at least part of the “addictive” part of food addiction is sugar, and that you can absolutely ditch.
It’s possible to cut out sugar, yes. But also keep in mind sugar is literally everywhere and the cheapest easiest food substance to access. It’s on every menu, it’s at the check out counter of every store, it’s offered for free by coworkers bringing in treats or birthday cakes, offered in bowls at the exit from some restaurants or other businesses, it’s thrown out at parades, given away on Halloween, etc. It’s possible to avoid eating sugar, but avoiding temptation is basically impossible if you have a habit of leaving your home to work or shop. If you are addicted to sugar, it’s a constant struggle.
Do you mean added sugar? Because cutting out fruit and veg from your diet is pretty unhealthy.
I’m addicted to Tostito’s queso. Of course I know it’s horrible for me. At least it’ll be a queso OD, instead of “horse”.
