Imagine paying extra for a drug because you can't control yourself.
Fasting is free.
Free.
Free free free.
Agreed. http://archive.today/2024.07.08-100822/https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/intermittent-fasting-outperforms-diabetes-drugs-in-new-study-5672138
Link above from Epoch times archive.is--study shows intermittent fasting outperforms diabetes medication. Also, they lost a total of 21lbs average from the intermittent fasting in comparison to about 12lbs with diabetes medicine.
Dr. Jason Fung, author of the Obesity Code and the Diabetes Code, talks about how to permanently get rid of obesity and diabetes. He incorporates intermittent fasting.
I've done extended fasts, two weeks at a time with no food. It is free, you save a ton of money, you lose a bunch of weight, you gain a ton of energy, and you have so much more time to pray and reflect on life. So much of your time is spent on eating, obtaining, and cooking food. I gained hours of my life daily by simply not eating. And yes, I did lose a bunch of weight, about 60lbs total from fasting cumulatively over the years.
Your body, does what it can to keep itself in balance; but as someone who was morbidly obese 5 years ago, drugs like these - were very helpful to a great many people not only lose weight, but re-adjust their body to the new weight. No surgery - but saw a MD and had regularly scheduled blood tests - I'm talking 17 vials to monitor liver, kidney, testosterone, and many other hormone levels.
85 lbs down, and those dropped in the first year. The last 20 lbs have taken 2 years; but I'm off the injections and the weight is slowly dropping down to my goal of 195lbs. The change is not designed to be a temporary diet, it's not for those who are 20-30 lbs overweight. It's for those who are DIABETIC, and morbidly obese. Nobody wants to be 315lbs. And once there, and diabetic - things are difficult. Given a choice of being on a reptile venom for a few years; or being dead - it's your call. And I would expect you respect their choice, as they respect yours. Intermittent Fasting is a great way to drop the last bit, but I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone who can drop that when they are morbidly obese (you are starving all the time) - it takes a lot of calories just to maintain that weight - and your hormone levels are out of control.
First, you get those hormones into line; and the weight will come off fast. You don't want it to come off too fast; as you need your skin to shrink as well - so you don't have lose skin that will require surgical steps - painful and expensive. At 230 and with intermittent fasting, the skin connective tissue remains, while the fat is consumed. I give a great deal of credit to the MD, who checks in on diet, blood work, and strategies every 4-6 weeks. Time and effort worth every penny. Again, this is year #6 of slowly dropping; this isn't a yo-yo diet.
Hi, I lost 90lbs on my own. I did see a weight loss nutritionist who very half-assedly in 2016 tried to put me on a keto diet, knowing it was going to fail because she didn't give me all the facts to be successful. She tried to convince me to get my stomach stapled. I said no. Then I started my weight loss journey. It has taken me 5 years also, heaviest at 240lbs (which doesn't seem like a lot, but I am really short) now down to 143lbs, and I had a pregnancy in that time frame. I did do extended fasts of no eating for two weeks multiple times before I got pregnant. This helped the most and I had the most energy during those times.
Maybe taking semaglutides is a good idea for some; I argue not, because if you look at all the risks of it, is it really worth it? I've almost lost two good people in my life to ozimpec and wegovy side effects. One is almost all recovered, but the other is still not doing very well and might need surgery due to stomach blockages.
Also, this class of medications is available to ALL, not just diabetics.
I personally think crack cocaine would be safer than Ozimpec or Wegovy, especially if it "were monitored by a doctor". Why don't they use safer drugs for weight loss assistance? I think the main side effects of crack cocaine is selling magazines and smoking cheese. Good drugs make your dick small. Bad drugs cause stomach necrosis.
I personally know a doctor who was, until these past few months, was pro-Covid shots. He was against semaglutides from the get-go, but all in for the mRNA death shots. He still refuses to prescribe semaglutides.
I'm not saying anything negatively towards you and your weight loss journey; congratulations. What I am saying is that your argument that it is impossible to lose weight on their own, without any medical assistance, is not true. Also, you have some facts wrong regarding losing weight.
If you want to get rid of your diabetes permanently, I suggest you look at Dr. Jason Fung's book, the Diabetes Code, and for weight loss, his book, the Obesity Code. He tells you how to get rid of both issues without drugs via diet and fasting.
I'm living proof that it does work, and it has helped many others.
Isn't it amazing how getting the facts, makes a difference? Those 17 vials of blood were explained to me, in layman's terms. I am not medically trained, but the cause and effect were explained to me, in such a way as it made sense.
Then, knowing that the weight didn't come on all at once; it was impractical to expect it to come off. But cutting carbs was easier than I had imagined. Being a steak and potatoes guy - learning to use Cauliflower in the Instant Pot, then adding cream cheese, butter and pepper - that we made was as good, or better than mashed potatoes. And best of all - I wasn't starving all the time.
Going ot look at Dr. Jason Fung's book, as you suggest. We are fighting a huge sugar industry - and the damage they have done to all of us, has but one punishment. And congratulations on the weight loss. It's not easy but being able to buy "normal" clothes again, being able to walk without being exhausted - it's so worth it.
My MD was against the vaccine and signed my medical exemption. He is based, and I sent 4 co-workers to see him. It's hard to find a based MD, who is truly more interested in their patient's health, than cash. They are rare, but they do exist..
Wishing you the best on your health journey--the fun part of it is learning how to thrive in a creative way. Cooking is my favorite thing to do now, because I create all these great flavors in the kitchen. My cooking is way yummier than all the junk fast food out there and convenient "healthy" meals I was eating when I was morbidly obese. I agree with you--it is great being a normal and healthy weight, and not to have so much aches and pains and all the difficulties that come with being morbidly obese. You're right--it is extremely tiring to just walk around. Cheers!
This is how I lost the “baby weight”. Nothing crazy, just limited overeating, bumped protein and did some light workouts. I’m down 30 pounds since Feb (:
