I keep seeing all these inspiring reddit posts by people who lost weight by stopping smoking by no coca cola , by exercising, by eating good food
I have no bad habits to break and am still overweight,
maybe I eat too much healthy food.
CICO EOS.
Less carbs. More protein.
Iβve been having a break from alcohol for a bit (~2.5 months so far), and havenβt even lost a pound. Iβm so disappointed. Might have made up for it with alcohol-free beer & cider and extra timtams though, I guess
There really ought to be a website/app dedicated to recognising what exactly IS the healthy weight for a given age, height, bone structure and reproductive history. My suspicion is that the range of 'healthy' weight is really quite wide, a lot wider than the diet industry would have us believe.
My theory is that if one's organs are working fine, bone structure is fine, and you're not limited in your activity level, then you're healthy.
Hmm I'm not sure it's that simple. For instance you can have very unhealthy habits, and while the symptoms may not present themselves in the short term it will catch up with you eventually.
Count your calories for a month?

Limited supply due to weight loss without tears dieters - so limited that people who need it for diabetes and/or other life saving purposes CAN'T GET IT.
@Thornburywitch @wscholermann there are several other GLP-1 agonists available. They are just as effective for weight loss and actually work better for some people. Chemists are generally only filling ozempic scripts if they are not being prescribed off-label, at least until the shortage eases. There are also compounding pharmacies that can create bioidentical product during the shortage, but Novo don't like them.
The GLP-1 agonists are also proving very effective at helping people quit smoking, alcohol, and a whole range of addictions. They are truly an amazing class of drug and generics will be available in upcoming years, which will make them much more affordable.
