Since I started taking Victoza rather than Lantus my weight has dropped 77 pounds. That’s far more than 14%.

“For the first time, people can achieve through drugs what was only possible through weight-loss surgery.”

Many people lose weight without weight-loss surgery. In fact, that is the overwhelming way people lose weight — by not putting it in in the first place. Furthermore, it is noted that carbohydrates particularly leads to obesity — as well as the diabetic process of insulin resistance triggered by the consumption of carbohydrates.

However, the dietary advice given is to consume as many carbohydrates as possible — as often as possible. Maybe that has something to do with the epidemic of obesity — making people particularly susceptible to all kinds of further infections and diseases?

Best current way to lose weight is to purchase all your groceries and other eats using those $1400 checks from dear leader Premier Harris-Biden...

I have a tendency to put on weight. That tendency involves anything sweet, starchy, chocolate, and any and all combinations of food and drink that I know full well will put on the pounds that I do not need. I have tried every diet, and some pills, as well as fasting, and it all work until I relapsed into former bad habits. I finally accepted that I could not overeat and had to limit the sweet stuff if I wanted to maintain my preferred weight. I have always liked to walk and swim etc. but overeating still put weight on. I realized that I never had to be hungry but I simply had to eat a nutritious meal and limit the high calorie stuff. It is a matter of discipline and forethought and I have a few things, like weighing every morning, that remind me of when I am headed in the wrong direction. Everybody has to work out their own method, and routine, of staying fit and healthy and it is not all that hard. For me, overeating is definetly the reason I put on weight. Sigh!

As a Medical Underwriter, I’ve also seen the rise of Metformin for weight loss over the last couple years.

Game changer. That and keto. If I could have my 30 years back of struggle, things would have been so much better and a hell of lot happier.

Do a line of cocaine and crushed Viagra. You're good to go brother.

Great, that gives him a heart attack with a boner. Hope the mortician isn't into necrophilia.

“No matter what (kooky) medical procedure”

Used by mainstream medicine as a cure for c diff

“ it is impossible for someone to gain weight while burning more calories than they consume.”

You assume every calorie is treated identically by the body, regardless of type/source

You assume gut bacteria composition is identical in all humans

Neither is a valid assumption and each affects weight.

There are some products out there that that can help. They are diabetic friendly, keto friendly snacks that if you are in a pinch and need something sweet, they won’t spike your blood sugar which can trigger more cravings.

I agree, about working out. That has been a life saving for me, mentally and physically.

“Weight loss is simple math. If you take in more calories than you burn you will gain weight. If you take in less calories than you burn, you will lose weight. Simplified: Eat less and get your butt off the couch!”

Not quiet that simple, but very close. I went on a diet of 1400 calories per day and swimming for a half hour every morning. Because of my size at the time I was burning over 600 calories in my morning swim. I lost 20lbs and the weight loss stopped dead. Three weeks of sitting on almost exactly the same weight was beyond frustrating and started making Pizza look like a good idea again.

Research brought me to a surprising conclusion: I wasn't eating enough. I increased my calorie intake to 2000 a day and the weight started dropping off again. I lost 65lbs overall and I'm maintaining it now. As soon as it warms up I plan to lose another 20 and keep it at 190.

Or like we did in the seventies take speed. 😏

I never knew the human body can create mass from nothing. Interesting.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

You’ve reduce this to a two dimensional machine.

I’ve attempted to show you it is more complex.

[ConservaTexan]

I’ve attempted to show you it is more complex.

One can only assume that creating/destroying matter is complex. I thought it could only change forms. Who knew?

Good question every man wonders about have stinger no worky.
