Colpi di perdita di peso non abbastanza per affrontare l’obesità, avvertendo i medici

Theyre a start. Like if you cannot bring yourself to swallow food in excess it really does help. Being lighter let’s you get fit without mad joint pain and that embarrassment from being all wobbly.

It is true though that without backing it with learning to eat the right foods (not the wrong foods, just less) and a lifestyle change to increased activity you’ll not see the big public health changes you really want to see.

Youll just have malnourished sedentary people, dying of rickets and shit.

You can take my fat, but you’ll never take my sugar loaded drinks!

Unironically, if we put serious effort into reducing poverty, obesity rates would fall as a result. Not just because schemes that address poverty, like free school meals, also improve people’s diets, but because, as many studies have found, poverty reduces people’s access to healthy food and exercise.

Charging people more for unhealthy food isnt going to stop the obesity issue, people will just spend more as the crap food is more filling.

People have less time to spend making dinner and people have to adapt.

Can’t wait for some genius mention buying porridge and making a years worth of meals..

Save the NHS money.. eat less, move more. Problem solved.

Probably dosnt help that for the cost of one small packet of fatty mince beef, I can get a rustlers burger and an entire bag of frozen chips. Yeah the food sucks but the cost of making healthy food from scratch has ballooned whilst cheap shit food is everywhere

I love how these medications lay bare the sheer nastiness in some people’s hearts – who just want to moralise at fat people and feel superior

fascinating

These are not weight loss jabs, the use of them for weight loss is off label and they need to stop being reported that way

Genuinely can’t understand people who are against fat loss meds, like genuinely cannot understand.

I would like to see there being a change in the social acceptability of bringing cakes and sweets in to work. Once upon a time people smoked in their offices and we have now changed that, with great effect. Nowadays no-one would consider offering a cigarette to someone who was trying to quit. I would like to see workplaces being asked to keep unhealthy snacks in places that people can easily avoid them if they wish. I don’t want to police what my colleagues bring for their lunch, but if they are going to bring in boxes of biscuits and leave them on the desk next to me all day it’s a problem. They should keep them in their drawer.

It is the only thing that’s worked – we’ve had decades of policy interventions to raise prices, do advertising bans, improve food quality in schools, adjust the recipes of ready meals, shrink portion sizes in fast food, etc – literally none of it had any negative impact on the growth of obesity anywhere in the world – but Ozempic has seen the US’s obesity rate reduce for the first time ever. It addresses the weight gain, but it also addresses the addictive behaviour that drives it.

I think liberals just hate that social problems can in fact be solved technologically, they’ve been increasingly pushing social-only solutions to problems like crime or climate change and attacking anything else.

Of course it won’t. The food environment we have is poor and focuses too much on junk and convenience food over healthy foods, then there is our food culture that focuses on almost every social event being centred around that sort of food. Weight loss jabs are like taking methadone for heroin addicts: you need to tackle the underlying behaviour and the environment that causes people to over-eat.

Who does the food shopping for people who are taking this medication ?
