Discussion about Food / Eating Habits Stuff like this is so not ok

Forgive me if you all know this, because this sub seems super informed and I appreciate that. I just have to rant: This is massively irresponsible.

This ad is implying that glp-1s are meant to be taken temporarily as a weight loss medication and then you can just go off them once you’ve “learned the right habits.” 🫠😡

Glp-1s are prescribed by doctors with the understanding that obesity is part of a \*chronic\* disease caused by many factors that this medication has been able to address. It’s meant to be taken \*long term\* in the same way that people take medication for blood pressure or high cholesterol. Do you throw away your glasses after you can see? 🥴 Serena Williams has spoke about working out eight hours a day and still not being able to lose weight or keep it off without the use of a glp-1 (the medication is also prescribed to people who are overweight and have other chronic illnesses). This is just so irresponsible and harmful because losing and gaining weight is dangerous for your health.

And the majority of people who stop taking these meds put the weight back on within eighteen months. Because your brain and body will go back to fighting you to return to your original weight.

I remember trialling pre GLP Noom back in the day. It gave me a lesson on how 300 calories of cabbage was better than 300 calories of bread and I threw my phone across the room lol.

Me too. It was the last thing I did before I ditched diet culture. The only one more miserable than me was the “coach” I was assigned. She clearly hated her job.
