natashaloder Problem, why do people always have to resort to drugs to solve a problem? Eat healthy, exercise & cut out junk foods & other unhealthy, sugar loaded, zero nutritional food & lower alcohol & sugary drinks intake.
natashaloder Uh have we tried diet and exercise yet?
natashaloder Read some information about these drugs and conjunction with fat you also lose lean muscle mass. I’m seriously obese people that’s a worthy trade off. For overweight people that potentially causes more impacts than the benefits
natashaloder Or maybe change the food industry...
natashaloder No, but self control can. Put down the fork, fat.
natashaloder With this, ChatGPT, and UBI, no one will have to think, work, or have self-discipline. Everyone will be completely self-serving and self-indulgent peasants.
natashaloder Diet exercise and portion control.
DoctorChrisVT ucl People need to stop being obese. Be better. You're embarrassing yourself and your family.
sguyenet KcrEquity this speaks to the $LLY and Novo stocks.
sguyenet Very disappointing reporting this time -- not a single mention of BMI's racist history, no attempt to unpick causality from correlation, and unclear whether you are suggesting that all these postcolonial island residents need to be constantly drugged
sguyenet If it's a neurobiology issue, why was income positively correlated with BMI until 1990 in the United States? You will find that the poor drink lots of soda, smoke lots of cigarettes, and get a lot of payday loans.
sguyenet Put down the fork and push away from the table, fatties
sguyenet Maybe, just, 'a new generation'
sguyenet yikes

WorldObesity Unbelievable. Eat less food. This isn't rocket science.
WorldObesity And will have a life expectancy of over 80 years. Really tiring reading these boring news.
WorldObesity And the other half of the world is starving....
WorldObesity 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WorldObesity No, but diet and exercise can
alokjha Check out beach photos from the 1970s, no obese people! What changed? Their DNA? Don’t think so!
alokjha How about lifestyle change and proper education on health. But I guess The Economist is now a shill for big pharma now (OR has always been).
alokjha No! Go outside and exercise!
alokjha No just eat less and exercise more. Eat less processed foods and include hemp seeds (de- hulled are nicest) and oil.
alokjha
alokjha It’s not that complicated just get off your arse and do something every day.
alokjha You should read the letters to the editor in the current issue of The Economist on this topic.
alokjha No. If you ingest more calories than you burn, you will put on weight. If you don’t, you won’t. There is not a single human who generates calories from fresh air. Pretending this is complicated is simply untrue.
alokjha Self control, and exercise
alokjha It’s TACOS AND BURRITOS.
alokjha natashaloder Will obese MAGA take the jab?
alokjha natashaloder
alokjha natashaloder Try smacking yourselves in the head with them. All of those vaccines contain a form of N-ditetradecylacetamide, and if you smack it against your head like that with one, the contact isn’t insignificant, and it can have anti-inflammatory effects, and it isn’t counteracted by the
What about walk 30min/1h everyday and stop eating industrial food all the time ?
Another lazy, ill-informed 'fix'. Ten ton Tessie laying in her bed surrounded by pizza et-al but she's good cos she's had a jab. Pathetic
Lockdowns
Let’s hope so. Eating and drinking whatever and whenever has it’s consequences.
When the headline is a question the answer is always “no.”
It helps if you're willing to also change your diet and exercise. Only then do you see the big changes. ALSO, these companies are pushing off label use to make billions, pushing these types of ideas in unpaid media. Making it much more difficult for diabetics to get.
The anwer is no. So do some burpees
