    So the problem is a lack of knowledge? Because we have a ton of available knowledge out there all a person has to do is acknowledge that they have a problem and choose to fix it. Almost all goods are required to have calories listed on the side as well so while you might not feel full eating an entire family size bag of Doritos if you acknowledged that you were an unhealthy weight and had any desire to change it you could quickly see that the bag of Doritos is more than 2000 kcal.

    I personally believe the real problem is a lack of will power, as information is very readily available. Now some medical conditions can require significantly more will power to lose weight such as people who feel lightheaded while still consuming excess calories but all semiglutides do is make it so you don’t need as much will power. I still think that’s a great option for people who have a desire to lose weight but they need a desire to lose weight first



  • I acknowledged that shame doesn’t help with weight loss and that legitimate medical conditions can cause you to gain weight. But at the end of the day we have something called the conservation of energy if you like I can drop a link explaining it but if a person doesn’t consume energy then the energy level in their body can’t go up. Fat is a form of stored chemical energy. Therefore the single way that people end up fat is overconsumption of calories.

    I explained several of the medical reasons why a person might be more likely to over consume calories even though many of them are very rare but if you can find a single reliable source that shows a person consuming less calories than they burn and managing sustained weight gain (ignoring water weight transients) I will backtrack on everything I said and acknowledge I am wrong


  • It’s iron clad in the literal sense that cladding something clad with iron still is heavily susceptible to corrosion.

    At the end of the day being fat is a choice, you can have a metabolic disorder that causes you to gain weight if you eat 1/8th the calories of the average person but you are still choosing to eat more than you need. You can have abnormal signaling pathways that make you feel hungry or even lightheaded that causes you to overeat but again you are choosing to give in to a feeling that you know is bad for you. You can be disabled/poor and struggle to prepare food so you only eat cheap unhealthy food but you are still choosing to eat more of it than you need. Making fun of people for being fat might not help them lose weight but it’s not like you are making fun of a person because of something they can’t change like their race, sexual orientation, or even height, it is something that they can 100% change and the picture isn’t of someone whose 10-20 pounds overweight but instead well over 100lbs more than they should be.

    It might be an unpopular opinion but a person should feel bad when they are that glutinous that they have consumed 500k calories above their required weight
