ᛑᛗᛛ The Queen 👑 :
if it was as simple as "just eat less, move more, and have better discipline" taking a hormone wouldn't be helping millions of people.

Like Michael Hobbes said: CICO is like saying to win in basketball you just have to score more points. It takes away all of the complexity of how to get there.

USA will never adopt these findings. The obesity hate is real here.

Insulin resistance, leptine levels, ghreline levels, inflammation, pcos, food noise, genetics... there's so many factors to obesity...

Some of us don’t eat more than anyone else or even less and still stay obese

I hope people will keep researching. I recently found out I have Lipodystrophy and even though I’ve had gastric bypass, am on a GLP-1, and barely eat - I can’t lose weight. My partner started a GLP-1 and immediately lost 50 lbs

food noise alone changes everything. All the "have more willpower" folks have never had the neverending food noise.

You can explain this a million times and ppl’s takeaway will still be: “fat people have no discipline”

yes we’re supposed to eat less but we clearly aren’t able to do this (hence obesity epidemic), so science should really understand what the hell is going on

Also it's not just about energy. Metabolic disorders change how the body is able to use the calories that are put in. When my Hashimoto's was unmedicated and I was basically not producing thyroid hormones, I would barely eat, because I was so exhausted constantly, I chose sleep over eating. I have memory loss from that year. I also gained 20kg. My body was unable to convert food into energy, and could only store it. So my body was starving while gaining weight.

I have multiple medical conditions that impact my weight and have been overweight all my life. I decided to stop worrying about it and focus on my health, then actually got medicated for several of those conditions (including ADHD and PMOS). Immediately started losing weight. Turned out I had literally been fighting against my own biology for 30+ years. 🤦 Thank you for this informative, judgement free video!

This is why I have been saying medical professionals have been saying obesity is a disease, when honestly obesity is a SYMPTOM. We need to expand our ideas of what is at the root cause of weight gain beyond "eat well and exercise", bc it's usually so much more complex than that.

Isn't this idea challenged by the success of Ozempic?

xrising_phoenix :
ive always found it really crazy when people blame it solely on food, and same with exercise. i heard this cool saying thats really changed my outlook and perspective: if everyone ate the same food in the same amount and exercised the same amount, we'd still all have different weights, body types, health conditions, etc.

If it was calories in calories out 99% of the population would be in perfect health (or at least the majority of the population)

I tell people 2 things to try to get them to understand. 1) Our metabolism is not a closed chemical reaction. Several factors affect it. 2) Trying not to eat when my body is screaming at me to is like telling some one to keep their resting breath rate the same when they’re running. You can’t. You have to breathe more. It’s not willpower, it’s like we’re always running (which I can’t do anymore because of the toll weight took on my body, but that’s an aside). Most won’t understand because they don’t want to. I’m very glad to hear that experts are looking deeper.

Motzie :
the two things that are consistent every time I lose weight (roughly 15-30 pounds over the course of 2-4 months) is that I have more money and I'm less stressed. More money because I'm able to buy healthier food more consistently as opposed to money saving food during harder months. Less stress because I tend to stress eat but also less money obviously means more stress. It's never the exercise I do or how much food I eat; it's the food I can afford and whether I'm feeling bad, because even when I'm exercising consistently I don't lose weight (PCOS).

my brother is obese because of childhood trauma and because of the fear of not getting enough food

SoggyWhiteBread :
When you see someone (usually a gym bro or wellness coach of some type) fall back to "calories in, calories out", it's usually because they lack the knowledge and nuance to help someone who is struggling and they have to project that as a failure on that person's fault (lAcK oF wIlLpOwEr)

Sarahaha :
The YEARS of shame and self disgust and embarrassment that came to an end when I started a GLP-1 five years ago. It was never my fault, I literally could not make my brain do the thing, and then, with a medication, I could. People whose brains can just do the thing and don’t struggle with weight and appetite have no idea what they’re talking about when they go on about willpower and putting down the fork.
