    people will do anything to avoid eating a healthy diet and exercising. I lost 120lbs in just over 2 years from walking and eating low carb real food.

      Once again, carbs are not the problem. Italian and French people eat tons of carbs and are way healthier than Americans

        Yes, but there is a difference between grains and refined sugar and high glucose corn syrup.

          I agree. I don’t think my homemade bread with 4 ingredients is a problem

      Congrats! It’s not easy! I dropped 60 lbs the same way. It’s the only thing that works long term since you have to retrain your body and mind, learn new habits, and build interest in maintaining it.

      That’s sort of what Ozempic does though. It reduces the desire to eat large amounts of unhealthy food.

      I lost 0lbs from not being fat. (I’m sorry I don’t think you’re fat but I had to write this all out, it’s a disease of the mind)

      If those things reduced people’s weight in a reasonable time frame then they would do that.

      Don’t expect slaves to have the time, money, and energy to spend hundreds of hours to be an attractive weight.
