I truly believe the only true choice we get in life is what we choose to eat. Unfortunately, like anything in life the best choice is usually the hardest choice. Eating healthy is very expensive, and does require a lot of preparation and effort.
It’s all a vicious cycle eat bad food, low energy levels, feel bad, eat bad food. Awful night sleep, eat bad food etc.
Very much believe in the 1% belief of trying to improve by 1% every single day. I stopped drinking in my house during Covid and probably best decision I made.
But the eat less move more crowd…. You bastards haven’t met the menopause!!
Totally get that. Its the same with people with mental health issues and they are given tranquillisers which I'm told kill every bit of energy in your body. My brother has put a huge amount of weight on over the years due to this. He's just been given Mounjaro on the NHS because of his obesity, high BP and Sleep Apnoea.
im currently 17 st mrs is on the jabs and a pal also seen a few side effects upset stomachs most days etc but the results are showing. since ive moved to an office role my eating habits are awful my daily lunch is a sainsburys meal deal and something from the hot counter with a dinner of a ready meal, have curbed midweek drinking but weekends ill average 6/7 pints friday and 9/10 on a saturday if a match day.
The trouble is unless a person changes their lifestyle ie what they eat and how much they move/exercise most people pile it all back on when they stop taking the jabs.
So to my mind it's pointless taking the jabs unless you are going to permanently change your lifestyle.
I have 4 friends here that all used semaglutade and saw remarkable results and their behaviour changed as a result of the jabs, so I’m not sure what you say is entirely true due to how the jabs chemically change your appetite.
I said a person needs to change what they eat and how much they move/exercise. You say their behaviour changed as a result of the jabs. So we are in agreement.
We are, clearly people all over the world struggle with these habits, obesity if out of control, it blows my mind when I go back home and I’m no stick insect!
Like someone else said, the future savings alone to the NHS make these medications worth using, things can’t carry on as they are. Although having just watched Dopesick, I’m a little sceptical we should be trusting anything these pharma companies say, they’re scum of the highest order.
Like Chunes, I think the real solution is education and regulation, but that’s unlikely to happen!

Haven't touched peanut butter in months
It's a cost but worth it.
