Just exercise and don’t snack. It’s doable.

A couple of women in town weighed well into the 300’s and for lunch, they would br8ng in a cake apiece and sit and eat it all- after a huge lunch. Eventually they began walking and dieting, and did really well. Not sure if they ever relapsed or not though.

Simple math really... the less calories you take in, the more weight you will lose. I cznt even imagine ehzt their calorie load was when they were eating enough food for 3 people.

The world’s strongest man contests have contestsnts that eat tremendous amounts of calories per day, but they are working a lof of that off, and they need that many to keep their bulk up to turn to muscle. But these are folks that dead-lift cars for fun.

I have a hard time gaining weight. Hard to relate to taking a drug to loose weight.

for some who by various reasons, get their body chemistry really wacky, “just exercise and don’t eat snacks” is not always that answer. Thyroid issues play in as well as other medical, time of eating, or genetic things can play in.

Eating less, but eating it late in the day (even if healthier foods) can signal the body to store as fat and burn muscle to fulfill adequate nutrient needs to maintain life. a person may lose weight but not in the way that is healthy for a body.

I agree. Too many people are undisciplined, weak, and lazy.

Beat me to it! Portion control and move - don’t have to run, walking is great. Although aerobic exercise burns off calories more quickly. So once these folks have lost the desired weight and gone off the drug, then they do not have the proper lifestyle to maintain the weight.

Exercise? Don’t snack? Impossible. You may as well tell me to stop drinking.
