re: Obesity is down 2%, but everyone is lying about why

I'm no longer obese but I used intermittent fasting and cut out alcohol, twas a glorious day when I could see my pp again.

confess I didn’t even change my diet or exercise and still lost 32 pounds pretty easily

So people are still staying unhealthy

I could stand to lose 15-20 pounds, but I'm not paying a king's ransom for an eating disorder

Define “eating disorder”. May not be as applicable in your case, but anyone obese has a disorder related to eating. Semi-glutides arent eating bone density and muscle. Those issues are a side effect of a poor diet/lack of exercise. At least these drugs give the obese person a better shot at getting their formerly fat arse off the couch and into some sort of exercise regimen.

Edit: if it wasn’t clear… I am on Ozempic.

I just speak for myself. Ozempic is a cheat code for lazy people who don’t feel like cooking right or who get random sugar cravings at 2 am

I’m finally eating healthier now, but I lost 32 pounds not changing anything. I probably have 8 pounds to go but I’m in no rush. I’m literally only eating healthier to be healthy. But I wouldn’t have to change a thing if I wanted to go the rest of the way. It may just take longer.

But anyone who says you still have to eat healthy on Ozempic to lose weight is completely full of shite. It’s the ultimate cheat code. You don’t have to change a damn thing about your life. You just eat what you would normally eat, difference is you stay full longer.

That’s why fat people have literally no excuse anymore.

I thought you were going to say, "It's all the skinny Mexicans".

How do you know? Have you ever been on it? You sounds like someone that struggled with weight if you’re having to work to lose a toddler’s worth of fat. Why were you such a fat frick? You’re pathetic and should be ashamed of yourself for getting so fat you slob. Do you have no self control? Just eating your way through life. Oh but now you’re Mr mcjudgemental. You’re still a dirty fatty and you always will be. Embrace it.

Artificially suppressing appetite, often to the point of malnourishment

And Advil artificially suppresses swelling. Everything you put in your body comes with a trade-off. And again,, this drug isn't causing malnourishment, the eating disorder is the root cause. The same eating disorder that the drug has shown unprecedented success in helping correct. I agree there is no magic pill, but if a person is severely overweight and the worst side effect we can come up with is losing too much weight, I think the reward trumps that risk every time.
