Another big misleading talk! Ozempic has already made big money by establishing obesity a disease. This time the pharma think tank has come up with a complex idea of proving that the cause of Obesity is Malfunctioning Fat Tissue
Body fat, particularly fat under the skin, known as subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), plays a crucial role in energy regulation and metabolic health.
When fat accumulates, SAT malfunctions. This seemingly adds to excessive fat storage in organs like the liver and muscles, increasing the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
This study proves that obesity is rather a cause of "condition rooted in complex metabolic science" than just a personal choice.
Yeah, they'll prove it and a big pharma will start selling some treatment and make money..
Millions of people have been misled by the myth that self-control can cure obesity. Seeing obesity as a chronic metabolic disease rather than a moral one is a way forward for effective remedies.
But in reality..."Personalized medicine is a potential replacement."
Yah all bodies are different but we can also understand our bodies by ourselves.
There are certainly ways by which we can recognise what is best for our bodies and what choices we require to make to keeping fit and healthy.
Don't believe me. I've a story of a 70 year old who became so far that he couldn't even wipe his bum one day and realised his faulty choices. May his experience improve the general understanding about obesity.
I retired from a job where I was reasonably active and always busy. I had to keep regular hours and be reasonably fit and mentally alert all the time. When I retired, I went from being busy to being a bit of a couch potato. I watched daytime TV and had regular cups of tea and slices of toast. I started to put on a bit of weight, but hardly noticed it.
The months passed and my weight crept up … and so it continued. Before I knew it I was getting puffed out going upstairs. Eventually, I became so fat that it was becoming difficult to reach to wipe my bum. And then one day I just couldn’t reach at all. not from the front nor the back.
What did it for me was inactivity and snacking.
Luckily, the not being able to clean myself shocked me into action and I lost the extra flab. I’m now back to a reasonable weight and stay active.
I think that many people simply put on weight bit by bit and find workarounds for the difficulties they face. I suppose I could have started using a soft brush on a stick or something to clean myself and just continued to pile on the weight. I’m thankful that I turned my life around in time.
You see, I’m in my 70s now. How many fat 80-year-old men do you know? Probably very few because they died in their 70s. I want to live a long and healthy life, so losing weight was essential.
So, I'm not buying any crap of research that says it's a medical (biological) condition. I'll personally choose to say (you can oppose) obesity is the consequence of cumulative poor personal choices
I think some people do suffer from metabolic issues that makes it extremely hard to keep the weight off. Maybe they can only eat 1k calories a day to maintain or lose weight without any physical activity.
But most of the time people are just addicted to food. Since we aren’t able to shame people who are it just goes on unchecked.

Yes, I agree but the percentage of such people is very very less. My point is that everyone knows about the type of body he has and what's best for him, what lifestyle is healthier, what's to eat and drink. But most people (even those with metabolic issues) don't follow their body types. For example if my friends are drinking cole and they offer me I'll not deny even when I know it's harming my body.

Yeah sugar addiction is real. Diabetes type two runs rampant in the world and destroys kidneys.
When I visited Mexico I was shocked how much they love coke. The drink it like water
reply
Not only Mexico people in India are drinking it like water these days. No party is complete without it. And the best part is that even the uneducated know how harmful it is!

Have you noticed that the body positivity movement is dying off now that the famous people are taking the easy way to fat lose through these drugs
