      If only wed thought of that before, wed have no obesity epidemic. Thanks for the amazing insight. Now, if only we could let everyone know.

      Generally people have tried eating less and moving more but not enough. Clearly its not just a motivation or time or diet issue given it occurs everywhere worldwide, even places like Japan and Greek islands with the worlds healthiest diets.

        I’ve lost count of the arguments I’ve gotten into where someone repeats the “eat less and move” refrain, and refuses to accept that people who actually research this stuff and control for those variables have concluded “it’s way more complicated than that.”

      Not saying you’re wrong but sugar addiction is a thing and we’re all part of it. One day we’ll treat sugar the right way, it’s far worse than other drugs.

      How dare you suggest a sane and healthy way to manage weight that requires a modicum of self-control and determination instead of using a pharmaceutical shortcut that alters biochemistry with poorly understood consequences. Its like you don’t even care about the shareholders.

        Maybe you should read the labels of food and see exactly how much corn syrup is in dam near everything. There’s no feasible way to escape it and maintain a healthy diet.

          Don’t eat processed food. If it comes in box or plastic, it is likely processed.

          Produce, meat and carbs do need prep tho most of the time.
