Two years ago I started losing weight by eliminating sugar and carbs. I also walk 6 miles a day at my job. Two months ago I switched over to a Carnivore way of eating and I feel better at 54yo than I ever did at 24yo. I've lost 110 lbs so far with 40lbs to hit my goal weight. I also fast for 21hrs per day. I feel great and will continue this WOE. I wish everyone nothing but the best on their weight loss journey.
They say carnivore is not for everyone, but it is definitely for me. I eat pasture raised beef and eggs every day, and my food costs are way less than they used to be because I waste absolutely nothing. My digestion has improved, my energy levels are great, my weight is good, I no longer have chronic wind, my skin and hair are better and I have other improvements. If carnivore works for you, I think you are lucky. But either way, sugar is terrible.
Well done I’m On same path, ozempic users miss out on the great mental and health benefits daily movement brings. Carnivore helped me drive a lifestyle change and recognise how addicted to certain foods I was /am. I’m 77 lbs lighter at 56 and putting on muscle with 10% body fat. It’s need state and will power, those on ozempic will never understand what they are really capable of. I feel in control because of me not because I’ve paid lots of money and made no change. If what you say makes someone obese feel bad and they have to reassess the decisions they make and how they treat food - you have done them a huge huge favour. If we keep telling people they’re great and fine when they’re not how is that kind? Authenticity and honesty is the key to helping people move forward. Don’t shame people but let them know the truth. They and their kids will die early if they don’t. Typical liberals fall over themselves to be kind but they’re actually creating something far far worse. Shelley finally found her need state, she wanted to live. Being obese may be stigmatised the reality is it will Kill you early. Better stigmatised than accepted by society as fine and normal and to be encouraged. This is what body positivity has moved into. If you love someone then learn to love yourself- you’ll then be able to do something about the stigma instead of ignoring it and staying with an unhealthy relationship to food, let alone the physical and mental Problems that go with obesity.

What we really need is a movement that helps people be confident in their own capability to solve and be accountable for their own problems. This needs character, resilience and determination. These are hard things to evolve and develop because they need you to put yourself through some hardship. It seems many people are willing not to have any hardship intheir life. If they do, they want to blame other people for it. We need to stop being so paranoid about everyone else’s feelings and help people to be more resilient, really understand how to apply themselves, and deal and overcome a hardship. Not blame everyone else for your issues and problems and see it as something society need to change for you.
It’s not cheating taking ozempic, it’s not solving the issue, what we eat and why we over eat. Yes the drugs can save people, people need saving, so the drugs are needed. But not for everyone. Some realise it’s partly the choices we make and understanding why and appreciating our bodies need their own right fuel to heal, drugs don’t do this. That’s why the ozempic path isn’t something I’d encourage, but it’s not my life.
As someone who has lost 110 lbs., I would recommend learning how to cook as the best method for losing weight. I swore off fast food, because it's more of a chemistry experiment than real food. I just pay attention to what I'm putting on my plate and balance my diet consciously. Losing weight is a decision, not a problem that's impossible to solve.
Back in the late 90s when I first started working towards weight loss by changing my diet, because being in your thirties and being told that your discs are starting to fold is kind of scary, once I dropped about 50 lbs my friends were asking me what did you take? They didn't like my answer, I took my ass off the couch and started moving.
I have yet to meet a single person that can’t lose weight if they reduce food intake and exercise. Way too many people these eat to fill a void and not just for nutrients
I have lost 110 lbs myself (260 lbs to 150 lbs at 5'9") and I had to restrict my food intake immensly while walking a lot (15K steps a day). For me the problem was never really what I eat, but how much of it. I never ate fast food. And guess what, to this day I have to watch everything I eat every day. If I loose sight of it, when life just happens, I still gain like crazy.
@@sanityshorror I took something called OMAD ( just one way of eating - not a diet ) and I lost 18 kgs / 39 lbs. My intake comprised of 60% fat and 20% each from carbs and Protein.
Dexatrim exploded my sister's heart at the age of 18 in 1980. Those dexatrim commercials were a mainstream media staple that killed a hell of a lot of people and the company didn't flick a cent in our direction to help with the costly funeral and burial. Not even a penny. Not one.
Sorry man. Unfortunately that’s the nature of the system, we need some way to hold these people accountable that’ll stick. I’m thinking something much more permanent.
I'm a diabetic, this is NOT a diet for me. I have to eat this way FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. My endocrinologist had me try FIVE drugs other than insulin and I can't physically tolerate them so I'm back on insulin. I have to eat low carb FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE to keep my blood sugar in the normal range.
I’m such a weirdo, during the pandemic everything was closed. I would go up to a trail in the woods and run every Saturday. The world was shut down. There was nothing to do. I figured being alone in the woods jogging would be a good idea. It got to the point where I was running 20 miles every Saturday. In 2022 I ran my first marathon.
I have a co-worker that had an extreme reaction to Ozempic that ruined his life. Basically, it gave him a stroke. His speech is slurry and slow and he has fine motor control issues. About one month ago, he and his wife came into the office. Unfortunately they were only there to pack his things up as he is now unable to work. He is a great guy. I wish him the best and I hope there is a possibility that he can sue and get some money out of this to take care of himself and his family.
@sookibeulah9331 it's just not a side effect. Highly doubtful this guy shot up ozempic and had a stroke. That's like saying the gas you put in your car made your tire go flat
@@behindthen0thing525 did you not hear Hari say they don’t know how this drug works? If the makers and doctors don’t know how this works how do you know that this individual did not have an untypical reaction? The body is complex and putting stresses on one symptom can cause unexpected impact on another system. Furthermore, it can take time for side effects of drugs to become known. I’ve just discovered the ADHD medication I’ve been prescribed is causing me acne for the first time ever at aged 52. I learnt this not because the specialist Drs told me (they said it was my skincare) but because two weeks ago I randomly met the mother of the young woman who was recently written up in medical journals as the test case for this medication causing acne.
I was overweight since I was born (seriously). At 40 I got gastric bypass and went from 350 to 135 lbs. I felt GREAT! But the drastic change in how people treated me was incredibly hard to deal with. At 135 lbs, people liked me, treated me kindly, with respect. At 350 ANY illness that sent me to the doctor was written off as me being fat. Having been fat my whole life, it was normal to me how the world perceived me. But when I was at a normal weight, I had to accept how horribly I had been treated every day of my life. I’m the same person at 135 as 350, yet only at 135 am I treated well. Honestly, it made me pretty distrustful, because I now know that I am liked/respected for my outside, not who I am, and people will just as easily reject me should my outside change again. It’s superficial…not real. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not at all for the “fat pride” movement, because my fat made me miserable, it’s painful, exhausting, deadly. But all people should realize that the truth of all people has nothing to do with their bodies. One day we all shed our bodies…who will you be on that day?
Trust me your inside is reflected in your outsides and you can determine a lot by someone’s outsides. People respect people in shape because it inspires and if your overweight it doesn’t trust me there is more to it and it’s for your health for your good it’s a miss read from trauma of that life so long.
I can understand why doctors would talk to you about your weight for health reason. Accept your better off going to a professional who has experience in nutrition. Lots of help with online free video’s. I got healthy that way and practiced Keto advice and then Carnivore as it was the only diet that made my Psoriasis and Rosacea go away. Doctors only gave me steroid creams to treat symptoms and only worked if I used a lot of it daily and that medication has side affect.
@@ginadean5696 I’m not overweight anymore. What I was talking about is going to the doctor for strep throat, or a broken thumb, or a bladder infection and instead of getting any testing or treatment being told to lose weight and treated with disgust. At 135 lbs (5’8”) doctors treat me with respect and actually take what I say seriously. At 350 lbs they treated me just like you did…go to a nutritionist. A nutritionist doesn’t set broken bones, prescribe antibiotics, or order simple labs or X-rays to diagnose anything. Fat or skinny, all people deserve medical care. And fat people are not more likely to become skinny people by being treated like they are stupid, lazy, and worthless, nor by having their medical conditions ignored. Every person who commented here exactly proved my point. Imagine someone judging me to be untrustworthy at 350 lbs but trustworthy at 135 lbs when I’m the exact same person at both weights. If anything I had far more motivation to be the best possible person I could be at 350 as so few people wanted to know me or love me, but at 135 I have my pick of both friends and boyfriends.
@@pmcfearson9453 Exactly why men marry beautiful on the outside women and a few years later crying about how evil women are. And then they do it all over again. But keep believing a person’s worth and integrity are connected to their body’s attractiveness and weight.
Obesity is typically a side effect of metabolic disorder. Ozempic may address the obesity, but it's not clear to me that it improves metabolic disorder. Better to improve your metabolism and drop the pounds by choosing a low carb diet.
@@dutchbiker4825?? I think the carnivore diet can fix around 85-90% of our health issues. Far better to do this first if possible and then address the other issues then.
Why is their metabolic disorder? because humans dont eat whole foods meant for their bodies Why dont humans eat whole foods meant for their bodies? Because companies study ways to get people addicted on cheap processed food. Why do we let companies get people addicted cheap processed food? "Freedom" justified greed.
I was diagnosed with diabetes and was prescribed ozempic and Metformin. 3 months ago and not much weight loss despite diatery changes, I experienced all the symptoms and even took away my desired to drink and drink water. Like I would force myself to drink at least 30-40 ounces of water. Went back to my Endocrinologist and like never in my life my kidneys levels were high. Despite her saying stay on and she was very closed to give me high blood pressure medication to preserve my kidneys, I stopped ozempic! It was ozempic all along, never in my life like why? By the time I went to her I went down to pre diabetic again. Scared the crap out of me, I don't want to lose my kidneys and she nonchalantly wanted me to stay and ruin my kidneys, unbelievable!!!! Let's see when I go back in another 3 months. I am losing weight much faster than when I was, I am in a low carb diet, no sugar, and I drink 64 oz of water a day besides working out. It truky scared me, ozempic wasn't for me, although it gave me a push to eat better. Bottom line, just cut the crap and do the hard work! 😩😩😩😮💨😮💨😮💨
You go girl I lost 60 pounds with keto still have another 20 or so. I’ve been moving more carnivore and started HITT training Now that I can run a little bit. I’m 66. Walking ch dr Jason Fung. Nephrologist
Make your own beef jerky with a dehydrator. Use that when your snacky. It's important to have things available that are no carb. Same with maybe pork rinds. Bodies are very powerful and the problems definitely are with what we are putting in. These drugs included.
Best of luck! I'm so glad you were wise and listened to your gut feeling. Apparently type 2 diabetes can be reversed, google Dr Chris van Tulleken, and listen to what he says about food. But even if not reversed, it can be well controlled, my mum will be 80 this year and has lived with diabetes for decades, thankfully in good health otherwise. She's been taking Metformin and being reasonable with her diet.
Psychologically part of what you have to learn to do if you want to lose weight without drugs is to accept the physical feeling of hunger and resist it. Learn to feel hungry for hours a day and enjoy it. Then, eat with portion control.
Jordan, I'm afraid you made a mistake about UPFs (Ultra Processed Food). They are made in factories, but they aren't made out of "fat and protein". UPF's are all concocted from manipulating Sugar, Salt, Wheat Flour and Seed/Bean Oils to create a bliss point where you "just can't stop eating 'em". Fat is from animals. There are no animal fats in UPFs... it is poisonous industrially processed seed and bean oils.
Isn’t that the American way? Instead of fixing the underlying issue, go for the magic pill despite the potential for long term ill effects. Who the hell knows what this stuff will do to a person years down the line…cancer? heart problems? kidney or liver failure? I’m speaking as an obese person who’s done it all to lose the weight. The only thing that has worked for me is working on fixing my metabolic disorder through a carnivore lifestyle. I’m not a carnivore apologist or prophet. This is just what works best for ME. But any successful weight loss strategy for a person with metabolic disease has to incorporate a low carb higher fat approach. I chose carnivore because it’s super simple. Not easy but simple. Have lost 45 lbs in 8 months but the best part is how I feel which is great. A1C has gone from 6 (pre-diabetic) to 5.4 And I don’t have Ozempic face, thank heavens
You hit the nail on the head when you said "magic pill." My Mother suffered from that. She got obsessed with buying the magic combination of supplements that would make her healthy and extend her life. Unfortunately, she was dodging dealing with her food addictions. She wanted to swallow the magic supplements that would allow her to avoid the consequences of eating crap. It didn't work. She had painful arthritis, obesity, autoimmune conditions and died of heart disease at 78. My Grandma who also died of heart disease and was a T2 Diabetic was a gardener and stayed active. She cooked from scratch and only went to restaurants 4-6x a month and lived to be 90. My mother didn't stay active and didn't cook at home. She took herself out to eat everyday.
Since Big Pharma took over yes it is the way unfortunately. They cant profit as much from people being healthier. Its wild how people cant see the conflict of interest built into the system.
Also my aunt told me that a friends of hers was hospitalized because she got so malnourished because she had no desire to eat or anything she wind up in the hospital. Her son took her and she needed electrolytes among other things. I should ask my aunt how she is doing now..
I have heard you reference the "picture of the beach in the 1970s" more than once. You are right in almost every observation of that time, but there is one factor you have overlooked. If you were even slightly overweight in those days you were embarrassed to be seen in a bathing suit. Many people who would feel comfortable on the beach today were body shamed to such a degree that they would avoid public swimming.
@@MiddlePath33 It is and it isn't. Back then people did crazy things...like eat a ton of protein and whole foods. If you look at the average calories consumed in the 1950's, '60's and '70's (we don't really have great tracking data before 1950 outside of the military unfortunately) it was far, far higher. 3200 for women and around 4100 for men. People walked. A lot. Even desk jobs were pretty physical when compared to today. People simply moved far, far more. Children played outside in neighborhoods with a dozen other children their age and two dozen more within 6 years in either direction. So to get fat back then, you almost had to try *AND* be pretty darn lazy. If you never have a stint with being overweight as a kid, the odds of being *obese* as an adult are pretty _slim._ Now we have over 42% of US kids in the obese category. Not all are, I mean I'm 5lbs away from being considered obese and I can do front handsprings across my front yard, squat over 300lbs, deadlift over 400, military press (strict) 175lbs, bench 250 or so...and I'm almost 50 but you can see my abs. So the BMI chart is, as a million people have said, useless for active people (I also walk/jog between 12K and 25K steps per day, or 5-12 miles)...and if I chug a gallon of water I'm showing up as obese on a BMI chart at 5'11"/215lbs. So the chart is stupid. Going with bf% is a far better method of determining whether or not someone is obese. Over 30% in men/37% in women sounds about right. If you're fat now though, though it is *_your_* fault, we f our kids big time. Career almost always comes before family now. Somehow sitting a kid down with an iPad is acceptable when all the parents in the neighborhood should have their kids outside together a few hours a day after school. Parents feeding their kids frozen pre-digested food or worse, take-out from garbage fast food restaurants set our children up to be fat as hell adults. Cooking takes time. Not much, but god forbid a parent spends 15 chopping and 15 minutes cooking wtv they made. Being a fat child, at any point before adolescence makes being in shape as an adult so much harder than it should be. The kid has to learn to cook, stop eating fast food all the time, make themselves get in 10K or so steps per day, and do something that speeds the heart way up, gives it a break, slows it back down etc. for at least 30 minutes a few times per week...Oh, and they should also force themselves to pick up something heavy an hour/day 3-5 times per week to boot. Now I don't think this is some big privilege in the US or Canada. There are very few real food deserts. Almost none. People can walk almost anywhere in the US, and that is by far the most important thing for general health _imo._ People can do pushups, jumping jacks, crunches etc. almost anywhere as well. Anyone who says _"Fresh Food is too expensive"_ obviously doesn't shop for groceries and cook meals. I can make dinner for 6 for $30 bucks. Or 6 meals for myself. A 900 calorie healthy meal with around 35-40 grams of protein. For $5/serving. So yeah, it's fine to be a little hard on adults for being overweight, but if you're the parent of a fat kid, that's on you, and the kids don't really deserve the fat shaming (of course telling a child that they need to lose weight for their health isn't fat shaming, it's the decent thing to do, and as the adult you have to let them know that it is your fault, not theirs'). As for the current _"BoPo/HaaS"_ movements, I am going with the _"Cut the shit and be honest with yourself and everyone else. It takes 5 minutes to fry chicken breast, throw some chopped bell peppers, garlic, salt and pepper on it and eat that instead of a Big Mac Meal with 3 cheeseburgers."_ Go for a walk an hour per day instead of playing Candy Crush for 6. And my gosh, we never have to encourage it. Anything that isn't _"Oh, being fat is great, you should get a free extra seat on the airplane."_ isn't an insult...they are legit crazy and *that* I have no problem shaming. If you're in a cult that encourages you to die 20 to 30 years early while telling kids it's fine, whelp then I can't really feel bad for you because I'll be too busy making sure the people I care about don't believe you. Just because the truth doesn't make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside doesn't mean it is wrong, and that, well that is absolutely worth shaming. Even if it was someone I cared about and they decided I was such a jerk they didn't want to talk to me anymore, if it saves their life, whelp I'd rather have them alive and pissed at me than dead.
there even was no bath suit they could wear, I remember that sometimes they just had to find some quiet place and wear normal underwear, white bras etc.
@@yentavegan8823 My pediatrician smoked. I remember him telling my mother to roll down the window in the car if I was in it as he diagnosed me with pneumonia and flicked an ash into a cup with water at the bottom. Darn examination room was like a bar 1990's. Even as a kid I recall thinking _"I wish there was a window in here _*_you_*_ could open because this sucks."_ as I coughed up a lung. I also remember flying to Florida in...1984 I believe, to visit my grandparents over April vacation. The guy sitting next to me smoked brown *cigar*ettes and it made me puke. I *love* flying, always have, but that trip from Boston to Ft. Lauderdale was not fun at all. I ended up smoking as a teen/adult, but was never a fan of smoking in places without decent air circulation and cannot, to this day, understand how people can smoke and eat at the same time. Though I'm fine with people smoking in bars or outdoor events, restaurants, airplanes, and fricken doctor's offices? I'm glad they got rid of that option for people as if it bothered me while I was an active smoker, I can't imagine how much it must drive people who don't smoke out of their minds. Of course it seems like everyone vapes now so idk...they're still getting bigger regardless of the appetite suppression qualities of nicotine. People are just lazier now, plain and simple.

There is thin body shamming, too. I’m 64 year old mother of six adult, married children and grandmother of 12. I’ve suffered pain through autoimmune disease and pretty conservative person and I managed the pain always my whole life since I was eating through keeping my weight low which is about 115-125 lbs Forget, after my first husband died I was a widow left with two children under 20 months old I dropped down to about 110 which was not terribly bad for me, but I remember coming to a wedding and sitting down next to my sister-in-law who has been obese her entire life to this day. And she in her loud outgoing way went oh my God you look “so sick and so thin are you OK? “ and I remember looking around the table as everyone stared at me to respond, thinking I can’t believe that this is acceptable absolutely socially acceptable. I’ve never once said anything about this woman’s weight my entire life of knowing her.. so because we don’t have the relationship that warrants that conversation, and I would never hurt her feelings. I think it all stems to yes, thinking about where people have come from and the struggles they have to get them to where they’re at perhaps praying for them and if you’re so fortunate to have a relationship with them, speaking truth with love.
This happened to me too. I lost 80 pounds on Wegovy. First I got picked on for being fat, now they are saying things because I lost the weight. I did lose muscle and I am trying to put some back on. They don’t realize that skin doesn’t shrink after a certain age so you get excess skin after weight loss. So now I look like death. What pisses me off is that they are all overweight. My doctor says I am fine. So they say my doctor is a quack. You just can’t win.
As a person who was born with a severe pyloric stenosis which is the malformation of the little sphincter that opens and closes each end connection to the stomach. Drs can easily fix this by surgery but mine kept telling my Mom I’d grow out of it. Even though there were times during my checkups that I weighed less than the last checkup nothing was done. The effect was that any breast milk I drank came right back up and even when I was old enough to try to eat more solid food I could not keep anything down so I starved and was malnourished. My distended belly and spindly arms was alarming and I still had eating issues and the distended belly at 2 1/2 to 3 years. Later I could still only eat very little at once and swallowing seemed very difficult. I didn’t hit my milestones and didn’t talk till 4 years, and had learning difficulties and autism and dyslexia with auditory processing issues and still do. My long winded point is that if I would’ve been given vitamin and mineral supplements with complete nutrition for my weight starting from day one…I would’ve still thrived through my most formative years and most likely would have hit my milestones and had no long term effects like I still do. Even now at 53, I sometimes have difficulty swallowing and eating enough but by now I never worry about what I eat or how much…. I always take my nutritional supplements with complete vitamins and minerals, high protein , fats and super food shakes. So as long as you focus on complete nutrition with supplements,with drinking a lot of water…. You can eat very little and be healthy. So hopefully if people take the Ozempic and loose their appetite and don’t eat…. They still focus on their complete nutrition with supplements and drink water and then they will be so much more healthy.
I am 66 and 2 years Carnivore and I have lost 117 pounds! My blood work is beautiful and I feel better than I have in decades. I really pray people can find what works for them to lose the dangerous excess weight in a healthy way that they can personally sustain for life.
Started taking oZ about a year ago, type 2 diabetic , uncontrolled blood sugar( still a sugar addict). 3 months in and my A1C had dropped considerably, great 👍. All of a sudden demand takes over supply and everything comes to a screeching halt. Fast forward, today I have boxes of this stuff in my refrigerator (all of a sudden, the supplies are no longer an issue) and I refuse to restart because of 2 reasons. (1) the supply chain might stop again and (2) the not knowing of the potential harm is just not worth the risk. Why keep getting your prescription refilled? Not sure 🤔 at the moment, scared to be without it and again, too scared to take it.
34:20 nothing to do with will power - fuel up with the fight foods and it is relatively easy. My intake comprised of 60% fat and 20% each from carbs and Protein.

No doubt the longer you take them - the more they racking in, in $$$$$. 30:00 rewiring the brain. If you eat STUFF made by folks in white coats, then expect to be treated by folks in white coats, or worse those wearing blue theatre scrubs.
Johann's honesty about his life and journey are refreshing. Obesity doesn't discriminate over gay, straight, skin color, etc. Eat right, exercise, pray, and get support from family and friends before you take another experimental drug.
Just don’t eat carbs and the weight will come off naturally, Carbs in the form of fruit were traditionally only eaten in the fall,in season to (fatten up) for winter when food was scarce.
In what part of the world? No one on the Northern hemisphere ever ate fruit in summer also? In warm climates they just let all of the fruit go bad year round until the fall?
So what do you do if you live in the country in Europe where the food (any food) is the most expensive, and the salaries are the lowest, and you have to survive on less than $20 per week after you pay for everything else, and all you can basically afford a bit of ramen a kilo or two of potatoes?
You eat whatever you can afford and fast. Intermittent fasting or prolonged fasting not only saves your money but reverses the damage that was done with high-carb food.
Intermittent fasting, home cooking with whole foods and protein-centric. It works. But it is time intensive and takes effort. Sometimes, I get tired of cooking.
Everyone will take these drugs and won't feel any better. Looking good is great but what builds confidence is working at a goal and reaching it. You get a since of pride and accomplishment that no one can take from you. You begin to believe in yourself. People eat like crap to deal with anxiety and/or trauma then confuse getting thin or ripped will cure the anxiety from being overweight, it won't work. Challenge yourself do hard things and losing weight won't be difficult anymore because you have built that discipline and what is the funniest thing is, how you look won't be that important to you anymore.
Be it such means well, especially when in this day in age people desire quick results. This would be especially true if this would also mean that they wouldn't need to try so much in order to obtain and maintain such results. Hopefully though they would manage to learn the hard way. Unfortunately though, plenty may simply become obsessed to obtain the next said easiest drug and may end up losing their life in doing so too. It's quite hilarious for the process of weight loss and maintenance should be quite simple and straightforward and would need some means of consistency and yet we would rather overcomplicate things in search of that one magic drug that would make it even easier.
EXACTLY!!! Working out has taught me many things, but the most I’ve taken away from it is a sense of accomplishment. As you say, no one can take that. I was surprised when I went to the beach for the first time this year and I was, and I’m not bragging here, the most fit person in sight. It was kind of sad… in the back of my head I was almost ashamed for exposing my physique to these blob people 🤣

A question not asked. Has he ever gone off the drug since he started taking it? If so, what happened? From what I heard, I don’t know, Sharon Osborn has stopped taking it and has not regained the weight. She looks very ill, actually.
Don’t we want to get rid of surgeries? Unless some extreme side effect pops up I think gp1 drugs are the better method. Mounjaro has changed my life I’m down 40 lbs, eating Whole Foods, tracking foods, drinking water, going to the gym, walking even when I’m disabled from a car accident and use a walker. I just walk in 10 minute burst and can swim hours on end.
What did the drug change about how you feel? Theoretically you could have done all those things anytime and lost weight. What about the drug made it easier to stick to those lifestyle changes?
@@droptableaccount1820 it gave me hope. I thought I couldn’t lose the weight before. I thought weight loss was impossible. What this drug does is like Dave Ramsey snowball method it gives you quick wins right after each other to build on. I’m now adding resistance training. Never saw a future of me doing that. Now everything is possible and anything is an option. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they find out it’s a will power drug where you can be your ideal self.
I am a lifestyle medicine educator and i 100% agree you can be both, against discrimination towards overweight people but also a proponent of being healthy. It is extremely challenging working with the public who now react when we point out the health problems of being overweight. The weight gains have happened because of how we live in an unhealthy social and economic environment.
I am 80…no diseases, moderate hearing loss…just had cataract surgery…5’4, 145, it is true… nobody was chubby let alone fat up into late 60’ unless the rare person and then we stared in disbelief
There is no side effect that will be experienced by enough people that take glp 1 inhibitors that can possibly be worse than the side effects from being obese. (Diabetes, heart issues, lung issues, issues with almost any organ due to fat deposits starving the organs, death from many causes, severe arthritis from hundreds of extra pounds on the joints over time, crippling spine issues, metabolism issues from fad dieting and losing and gaining weight over and over, mental health issues, eating disorders, etc,etc.) Should never be comparing side effects from medications to nothing, you need to compare it to the disease it is treating. Diet and exercise has been pushed and tried endlessly for a century straight, and obesity has only continued to worsen, WORLD WIDE. Just like the war on drugs, it is a failure to continue down this road.
@@conniegilchrist6925 Obesity causes constipation as well, 10-15% of obese individuals suffer from moderate to severe constipation. Higher than the percentage from this drug. No evidence of significant muscle loss, but even if there is, again, obesity causes muscle loss, due to inability to exercise as you become larger and larger. A large portion of the listed side effects were also experienced by the placebo group in the studies, they received no drug, only placebo injections, and yet got these same side effects regardless. People attempting to put others off of these drugs are literally killing people. These people will end up dying before they hit 60 years old if they stay obese (and most of them will without these drugs).
@@rdizzy1 Monjouro cause severe gastric distress. diarrhea is causing people to live on Imodium many people i have heard about Ozyemic have similar problems. Paralyzing your stomach permanently, Losing muscle mass in your heart and having lower muscle mass will leave you sicker in your later years. The side effects are worse in MANY cases, not all. The you have to stay on it for life part as well. the muscle does not come back and the stomach does not start working again
@@conniegilchrist6925 Gastroparesis is also inherently associated with obesity as well. No quality evidence of any muscle loss, especially specifically in the heart. (And even if there was, being obese causes issues with every organ in the body other than the brain, severe issues, even cardiovascular related death ) Thus, again, just like I said before, being obese is far, far more dangerous than ANY GLP inhibitor is. Obesity is the second highest preventable cause of death in the US, only second to tobacco use (And it is about to pass that as well). More people in the 30-85 age group die of obesity related illness than drug overdoses. Anything anyone does at any time has inherent risk to it. Driving to work every day is far more likely to kill you than a GLP 1 inhibitor is, yet people drive for hours every single day of their lives without a single thought. Go ahead and keep pushing your fear mongering garbage along though.
I know for me, the compounded mounjaro is a whole life fix. I no longer have basic life problems bc I'm no longer getting dopamine from unnecessary hauls. So amazon, temu, and shein are definitely losing $$$ on me. I'm getting dopamine from living life paying bills and spending a lil more money on healthy groceries. And that wraps everything up in a nice little bow.
I’m a 60 year old male 30lbs overweight. I’m low carb no sugar. Manage calories and strength train 3x week and there’s no way for me to shed this weight. The only thing has moved the scale is fasting. Not just Intermittent but not eating at all for days several times a week. But this is near impossible to sustain. My doctor thinks I should take glp-1 to get the weight off. I have been very conflicted and did tons of research but deep down I know there’s no free lunch so for now I’m trying to accept that I don’t exactly have the body I would like and I’ll have to carry this extra weight around. Not happy about it and I’ll keep trying naturally but these drugs scare me. I’m not diabetic and it’s a struggle just to not gain any more weight as I age further but for now at least I think I’m going to pass on this. I feel as though we’re witnessing the making of the next nightmarish Hollywood docuseries.
I love how these people think you can be nice about convincing people to change. You have to shame them to change. Its shameful to not take care of yourself.
Right! I’ve lost 52 lbs over the last year(very slowly because of many necessary trips) I couldn’t lose it any other way. Oh, and I grew up very healthy on an organic farm and knew how to eat what everyone calls healthy.
Yep you can eat until you don't want to. No calorie counting. Protein. Keep carbs under 20g total per day. Keeping weight off is a lifestyle change. Also ketonis muscle sparing
Wonderfully informative and I was thoroughly impressed with the sensitivity you presented the information with. Balance is so important, that is correct. I also loved the humor! I wished that mental therapy and belief changes in the brain had been mentioned. This is where every permanent change I have successfully made, has came from. We need to make snickers and ice cream look like the maggots they are. I adore these things myself but I limit them to quarterly treats. Yearly, not hourly😂. I was amazed at the amount of people who are expected to be on these (medications?) and how many meds the average person takes daily, yet how popular it is to shame drug users. A lot of irony in life. Great job to both of you! I subscribed, saved, and shared. Thank you!!
We need to modify food labels. We're great at labeling calories, micronutrients, and even glycemic index. We need to find a way to measure satiety and what in normal food drives it. Then we can have labels that explicitly tells you how long it will fill you up.
People are addicted to sugar - and there is sugar in almost anything in a package. People are going to keep eating garbage no matter what is on a label. The key is weaning oneself off of sugar/carbs and starting over. People need to learn to cook - it's not hard. But a lot of people just will choose to not put in effort to get better. It IS what we are eating. Including pharmaceuticals.
The destructive effects of stress, which includes; chronic lack of sleep, chronic pain, chronic everyday stress, any pre-existing medical conditions, disability, needs to be emphasised more. Chronic stress results in damage to & dysfunction of the HPA Axis which leads to; Hypercortisolism, Cushing's Syndrome, Adrenal Dysfunction/Crisis/Failure, Hypothyroidism, Insulin Resistance, Metabolic Syndrome. All of which will prevent or severely limit the individual from being able to lose weight via conventional methods. Anyone who has tried conventional methods to drop weight but was unable to reach a reasonable goal should get a comprehensive Metabolic Panel & Hormonal Panel done. You may be shocked at what the results tell you!
The popularity of this by the general public to lose weight renders it more difficult to obtain for those who medically need it. Seems like it's a short-term fix with long-term side effects. It may help with the population decline issue if more people are feeling better with the weight loss, getting outside and dating more often...but if dietary and physical exercise patterns aren't corrected the children they raise will be led by example and the cycle repeats. Not to mention the issues that arise when someone goes off the this med for an extended period of time.
Don't eat the first junk food and you wont get fat, one day at a time, sometimes quickly sometimes slowly but weight management will materialise if you work for it 🙏
It’s a hormone not a drug. GLP-1 is an incretin, which is one of the gut hormones involved in blood sugar control. GLP-1 agonists help reproduce or enhance the effects of this naturally occurring hormone.
First off Jordan, I have to say congratulations that is an amazing accomplishment. I don't know how you did it. But BMI index has got to be the worst metric to use to determine obesity: I'm 5'10 and 185 so my BMI is 26 but I've worked out all my life and am muscular and look pretty lean with a 32-in waist and well under 15% body fat. Also, I have to think we live in a pretty fucked up world if someone can lose 40 pounds or 20 to 25% of their body weight and not be considered obese... I mean (just overweight?)... really? Seems crazy and not particularly helpful in having people address their issue.... And yes processed foods or UPF is the culprit. 30% of Americans are statistically just "overweight" while over 40% obese, so no doubt the health authorities don't want to 70% of the population is obese. And with the typical youth in America having a diet composed of 65% of ultra processed foods, I guess these stats won't really change much. 😢 Great discussion though.
Agree on the BMI metric. I am a 68 yo female 5'0, 155 lbs, which according to the charts is almost obese. I am extremely muscular, have a 31 inch waist and my numbers are always good. I carry my weight in my butt and legs but it doesn't affect my health AT ALL. I weight train 2-3 days a week and walk about 20 miles a week. I'm only on 1 low dose blood pressure med and most of my friends who are thinner are in worse shape than me and on more meds. It's crucial as to where you carry your weight. If your waist isn't sbout half your height, you're in trouble. BMI metrics typically have little bearing on the real state of health. Pretty much every body builder is considered obese using current metrics. It's ridiculous.
I take ozimpic. Lost 20kg. Side effects I find are that as I am eating less I am taking in less proteins and my muscles got smaller. So I am at a weight now and hitting the gym and taking protein shakes. Muscle growth is returning and fat is slowly disappearing. Funny thing is this that I stopped the smokes at the same time and there are no cravings. Re side effects should have come.m out years ago as it’s been around for ages.
There needs to be a complete overhaul in how health is handled in the west... instead of profits first HEALTH and SAFTEY must be number one... HUMANS over PROFIT.. I'm worried tho that people are so used to eating the fast food poison that they will literally riot if it's taken away from them
Feed your microbiome. Is easy and cheap. Uncooked roots, like carrots, uncooked stems, like spinach and Basil, uncooked mushrooms. Not instead, but in between regular meals. (replace one meal with Chicken soup w/cellulose (I do not call it fiber, I think fiber is not the correct designation. I am talking about eating plant cellulose, like the one I described above) If you can fast 48-72 hours, once you get in the groove, that will change everything and you will feel "right".. Google microbiome and check out Wikipedia. Is all there. The drug path does not make sense and it has never worked. I can only imagine, in horror, what the side effects of a drug that messes up with nutrition. God help us...
So many adherents of the carnivore and keto diets. What is sad is that those diets are promoted by industry who make money out of supplements because those diets are deficient in nutritional essentials. What we need to do is go back to a whole-food plant-based minimally processed way of eating. Research and long term studies who that this way of eating is the basis of longevity and less inflammation in the body.
Yeah that’s the biggest issue is our food supply, this weight loss drug is useless , shouldn’t be damaging your body for a drug, when the food is the issue .
Johann Hari, I hear him, but what needs to be revealed if he has Disclosures, which would effect what he is saying about Ozempic. To me, he seems Biased toward the Drug.
It must be very depressing not eating all day. I enloy y scrambled egga whilst watching the morning news or some salad with.chicken milanese on my sunny terrace or eating out al fresco some calamari with a beer at the beac h. To forgoe these ni e moments be ause you feel full can lead to depressio
Did he say you lose 8% of your muscle mass a year after 30? Because that is not true, that would mean you would have lost 80% of your muscle mass by 40. Surely he said "a percent" not eight percent.
Two years ago I started losing weight by eliminating sugar and carbs. I also walk 6 miles a day at my job.
Two months ago I switched over to a Carnivore way of eating and I feel better at 54yo than I ever did at 24yo. I've lost 110 lbs so far with 40lbs to hit my goal weight.
I also fast for 21hrs per day. I feel great and will continue this WOE. I wish everyone nothing but the best on their weight loss journey.
They say carnivore is not for everyone, but it is definitely for me. I eat pasture raised beef and eggs every day, and my food costs are way less than they used to be because I waste absolutely nothing. My digestion has improved, my energy levels are great, my weight is good, I no longer have chronic wind, my skin and hair are better and I have other improvements. If carnivore works for you, I think you are lucky. But either way, sugar is terrible.
Well done I’m On same path, ozempic users miss out on the great mental and health benefits daily movement brings. Carnivore helped me drive a lifestyle change and recognise how addicted to certain foods I was /am. I’m 77 lbs lighter at 56 and putting on muscle with 10% body fat. It’s need state and will power, those on ozempic will never understand what they are really capable of. I feel in control because of me not because I’ve paid lots of money and made no change. If what you say makes someone obese feel bad and they have to reassess the decisions they make and how they treat food - you have done them a huge huge favour. If we keep telling people they’re great and fine when they’re not how is that kind? Authenticity and honesty is the key to helping people move forward. Don’t shame people but let them know the truth. They and their kids will die early if they don’t. Typical liberals fall over themselves to be kind but they’re actually creating something far far worse. Shelley finally found her need state, she wanted to live. Being obese may be stigmatised the reality is it will Kill you early. Better stigmatised than accepted by society as fine and normal and to be encouraged. This is what body positivity has moved into. If you love someone then learn to love yourself- you’ll then be able to do something about the stigma instead of ignoring it and staying with an unhealthy relationship to food, let alone the physical and mental Problems that go with obesity.

What we really need is a movement that helps people be confident in their own capability to solve and be accountable for their own problems. This needs character, resilience and determination. These are hard things to evolve and develop because they need you to put yourself through some hardship. It seems many people are willing not to have any hardship intheir life. If they do, they want to blame other people for it. We need to stop being so paranoid about everyone else’s feelings and help people to be more resilient, really understand how to apply themselves, and deal and overcome a hardship. Not blame everyone else for your issues and problems and see it as something society need to change for you.
It’s not cheating taking ozempic, it’s not solving the issue, what we eat and why we over eat. Yes the drugs can save people, people need saving, so the drugs are needed. But not for everyone. Some realise it’s partly the choices we make and understanding why and appreciating our bodies need their own right fuel to heal, drugs don’t do this. That’s why the ozempic path isn’t something I’d encourage, but it’s not my life.
As someone who has lost 110 lbs., I would recommend learning how to cook as the best method for losing weight. I swore off fast food, because it's more of a chemistry experiment than real food. I just pay attention to what I'm putting on my plate and balance my diet consciously. Losing weight is a decision, not a problem that's impossible to solve.
No fast food, no sodas, and absolutely no alcohol.
Back in the late 90s when I first started working towards weight loss by changing my diet, because being in your thirties and being told that your discs are starting to fold is kind of scary, once I dropped about 50 lbs my friends were asking me what did you take?
They didn't like my answer, I took my ass off the couch and started moving.
I have yet to meet a single person that can’t lose weight if they reduce food intake and exercise. Way too many people these eat to fill a void and not just for nutrients
I have lost 110 lbs myself (260 lbs to 150 lbs at 5'9") and I had to restrict my food intake immensly while walking a lot (15K steps a day).
For me the problem was never really what I eat, but how much of it. I never ate fast food.
And guess what, to this day I have to watch everything I eat every day. If I loose sight of it, when life just happens, I still gain like crazy.

Not one.
Yep I remember quite a few of these miracle pills in the past. All of them
Turned out bad in terms of side effects
So sorry
Sorry man. Unfortunately that’s the nature of the system, we need some way to hold these people accountable that’ll stick. I’m thinking something much more permanent.
I took that poison 😢
The greatest loss, this was soul breaking to read. I am so sorry.
I'm a diabetic, this is NOT a diet for me. I have to eat this way FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. My endocrinologist had me try FIVE drugs other than insulin and I can't physically tolerate them so I'm back on insulin. I have to eat low carb FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE to keep my blood sugar in the normal range.
Stop eating meat.
Im carnivore 2 years now normal A1C and Leukemia gone and 85 pounds down. Never going back
What a shame, do you support gluttony for others or do you attempt to suggest easing back of consumption?
Lol good point joe youre just being FORCED to eat a normal human diet instead of pig garbage poor you
That is my way of eating as well. Not because I'm diabetic, but because I don't want to become one. I love this way of eating!
One hour day of exercise and cutting out sugar and I’ve gone from 210 to 135 in one year and I am 56!!! I feel 35
Congratulations
This was phenomenal. I've never heard such a nuanced discussion about the obesity epidemic.
I’m such a weirdo, during the pandemic everything was closed. I would go up to a trail in the woods and run every Saturday. The world was shut down. There was nothing to do. I figured being alone in the woods jogging would be a good idea. It got to the point where I was running 20 miles every Saturday. In 2022 I ran my first marathon.
I have a co-worker that had an extreme reaction to Ozempic that ruined his life.
Basically, it gave him a stroke. His speech is slurry and slow and he has fine motor control issues.
About one month ago, he and his wife came into the office. Unfortunately they were only there to pack his things up as he is now unable to work.
He is a great guy. I wish him the best and I hope there is a possibility that he can sue and get some money out of this to take care of himself and his family.
Bull
@@behindthen0thing525who are you to know it’s ‘bull’?
@sookibeulah9331 it's just not a side effect. Highly doubtful this guy shot up ozempic and had a stroke.
That's like saying the gas you put in your car made your tire go flat
@@behindthen0thing525 did you not hear Hari say they don’t know how this drug works?
If the makers and doctors don’t know how this works how do you know that this individual did not have an untypical reaction? The body is complex and putting stresses on one symptom can cause unexpected impact on another system. Furthermore, it can take time for side effects of drugs to become known.
I’ve just discovered the ADHD medication I’ve been prescribed is causing me acne for the first time ever at aged 52. I learnt this not because the specialist Drs told me (they said it was my skincare) but because two weeks ago I randomly met the mother of the young woman who was recently written up in medical journals as the test case for this medication causing acne.
@behindthen0thing525 maybe you should do your research on side effects and toxicity of drugs. EVERYONE knows drugs come with side effects.
I was overweight since I was born (seriously). At 40 I got gastric bypass and went from 350 to 135 lbs. I felt GREAT! But the drastic change in how people treated me was incredibly hard to deal with. At 135 lbs, people liked me, treated me kindly, with respect. At 350 ANY illness that sent me to the doctor was written off as me being fat. Having been fat my whole life, it was normal to me how the world perceived me. But when I was at a normal weight, I had to accept how horribly I had been treated every day of my life. I’m the same person at 135 as 350, yet only at 135 am I treated well. Honestly, it made me pretty distrustful, because I now know that I am liked/respected for my outside, not who I am, and people will just as easily reject me should my outside change again. It’s superficial…not real. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not at all for the “fat pride” movement, because my fat made me miserable, it’s painful, exhausting, deadly. But all people should realize that the truth of all people has nothing to do with their bodies. One day we all shed our bodies…who will you be on that day?
Trust me your inside is reflected in your outsides and you can determine a lot by someone’s outsides. People respect people in shape because it inspires and if your overweight it doesn’t trust me there is more to it and it’s for your health for your good it’s a miss read from trauma of that life so long.
It’s a reflection of someone’s self control. I can’t trust someone who can’t say no to a dozen donuts.
I can understand why doctors would talk to you about your weight for health reason. Accept your better off going to a professional who has experience in nutrition. Lots of help with online free video’s. I got healthy that way and practiced Keto advice and then Carnivore as it was the only diet that made my Psoriasis and Rosacea go away. Doctors only gave me steroid creams to treat symptoms and only worked if I used a lot of it daily and that medication has side affect.
@@ginadean5696 I’m not overweight anymore. What I was talking about is going to the doctor for strep throat, or a broken thumb, or a bladder infection and instead of getting any testing or treatment being told to lose weight and treated with disgust. At 135 lbs (5’8”) doctors treat me with respect and actually take what I say seriously. At 350 lbs they treated me just like you did…go to a nutritionist. A nutritionist doesn’t set broken bones, prescribe antibiotics, or order simple labs or X-rays to diagnose anything. Fat or skinny, all people deserve medical care. And fat people are not more likely to become skinny people by being treated like they are stupid, lazy, and worthless, nor by having their medical conditions ignored. Every person who commented here exactly proved my point. Imagine someone judging me to be untrustworthy at 350 lbs but trustworthy at 135 lbs when I’m the exact same person at both weights. If anything I had far more motivation to be the best possible person I could be at 350 as so few people wanted to know me or love me, but at 135 I have my pick of both friends and boyfriends.

Obesity is typically a side effect of metabolic disorder. Ozempic may address the obesity, but it's not clear to me that it improves metabolic disorder. Better to improve your metabolism and drop the pounds by choosing a low carb diet.
Very good point
Dr fung talked about thisnin a revolutionary way what, 15 years ago? But no, ozemipic is the thing everyone knows about smh
low carbs is not even a quarter of it
@@dutchbiker4825??
I think the carnivore diet can fix around 85-90% of our health issues. Far better to do this first if possible and then address the other issues then.
Why is their metabolic disorder? because humans dont eat whole foods meant for their bodies

I was diagnosed with diabetes and was prescribed ozempic and Metformin. 3 months ago and not much weight loss despite diatery changes, I experienced all the symptoms and even took away my desired to drink and drink water. Like I would force myself to drink at least 30-40 ounces of water. Went back to my Endocrinologist and like never in my life my kidneys levels were high. Despite her saying stay on and she was very closed to give me high blood pressure medication to preserve my kidneys, I stopped ozempic! It was ozempic all along, never in my life like why? By the time I went to her I went down to pre diabetic again. Scared the crap out of me, I don't want to lose my kidneys and she nonchalantly wanted me to stay and ruin my kidneys, unbelievable!!!! Let's see when I go back in another 3 months. I am losing weight much faster than when I was, I am in a low carb diet, no sugar, and I drink 64 oz of water a day besides working out. It truky scared me, ozempic wasn't for me, although it gave me a push to eat better. Bottom line, just cut the crap and do the hard work! 😩😩😩😮💨😮💨😮💨
Time for a new doctor
You go girl I lost 60 pounds with keto still have another 20 or so. I’ve been moving more carnivore and started HITT training Now that I can run a little bit. I’m 66. Walking ch dr Jason Fung. Nephrologist
Make your own beef jerky with a dehydrator. Use that when your snacky. It's important to have things available that are no carb. Same with maybe pork rinds. Bodies are very powerful and the problems definitely are with what we are putting in. These drugs included.
Best of luck! I'm so glad you were wise and listened to your gut feeling. Apparently type 2 diabetes can be reversed, google Dr Chris van Tulleken, and listen to what he says about food. But even if not reversed, it can be well controlled, my mum will be 80 this year and has lived with diabetes for decades, thankfully in good health otherwise. She's been taking Metformin and being reasonable with her diet.
That's when I know the doctor gets a kickback from the pharma company, when they advise the patient to keep taking it anyway.
Psychologically part of what you have to learn to do if you want to lose weight without drugs is to accept the physical feeling of hunger and resist it. Learn to feel hungry for hours a day and enjoy it. Then, eat with portion control.
Jordan, I'm afraid you made a mistake about UPFs (Ultra Processed Food). They are made in factories, but they aren't made out of "fat and protein". UPF's are all concocted from manipulating Sugar, Salt, Wheat Flour and Seed/Bean Oils to create a bliss point where you "just can't stop eating 'em". Fat is from animals. There are no animal fats in UPFs... it is poisonous industrially processed seed and bean oils.
So glad I got in shape 12 years ago before this information overload
Isn’t that the American way? Instead of fixing the underlying issue, go for the magic pill despite the potential for long term ill effects. Who the hell knows what this stuff will do to a person years down the line…cancer? heart problems? kidney or liver failure?
I’m speaking as an obese person who’s done it all to lose the weight.
The only thing that has worked for me is working on fixing my metabolic disorder through a carnivore lifestyle. I’m not a carnivore apologist or prophet. This is just what works best for ME. But any successful weight loss strategy for a person with metabolic disease has to incorporate a low carb higher fat approach.
I chose carnivore because it’s super simple. Not easy but simple. Have lost 45 lbs in 8 months but the best part is how I feel which is great. A1C has gone from 6 (pre-diabetic) to 5.4
And I don’t have Ozempic face, thank heavens
You hit the nail on the head when you said "magic pill." My Mother suffered from that. She got obsessed with buying the magic combination of supplements that would make her healthy and extend her life. Unfortunately, she was dodging dealing with her food addictions. She wanted to swallow the magic supplements that would allow her to avoid the consequences of eating crap. It didn't work. She had painful arthritis, obesity, autoimmune conditions and died of heart disease at 78. My Grandma who also died of heart disease and was a T2 Diabetic was a gardener and stayed active. She cooked from scratch and only went to restaurants 4-6x a month and lived to be 90. My mother didn't stay active and didn't cook at home. She took herself out to eat everyday.
The other American way is,

Also my aunt told me that a friends of hers was hospitalized because she got so malnourished because she had no desire to eat or anything she wind up in the hospital. Her son took her and she needed electrolytes among other things. I should ask my aunt how she is doing now..
I have heard you reference the "picture of the beach in the 1970s" more than once. You are right in almost every observation of that time, but there is one factor you have overlooked. If you were even slightly overweight in those days you were embarrassed to be seen in a bathing suit. Many people who would feel comfortable on the beach today were body shamed to such a degree that they would avoid public swimming.
Maybe that’s a good thing…
Sorry to say.
@@MiddlePath33 It is and it isn't. Back then people did crazy things...like eat a ton of protein and whole foods. If you look at the average calories consumed in the 1950's, '60's and '70's (we don't really have great tracking data before 1950 outside of the military unfortunately) it was far, far higher. 3200 for women and around 4100 for men. People walked. A lot. Even desk jobs were pretty physical when compared to today. People simply moved far, far more. Children played outside in neighborhoods with a dozen other children their age and two dozen more within 6 years in either direction. So to get fat back then, you almost had to try *AND* be pretty darn lazy.
If you never have a stint with being overweight as a kid, the odds of being *obese* as an adult are pretty _slim._ Now we have over 42% of US kids in the obese category. Not all are, I mean I'm 5lbs away from being considered obese and I can do front handsprings across my front yard, squat over 300lbs, deadlift over 400, military press (strict) 175lbs, bench 250 or so...and I'm almost 50 but you can see my abs. So the BMI chart is, as a million people have said, useless for active people (I also walk/jog between 12K and 25K steps per day, or 5-12 miles)...and if I chug a gallon of water I'm showing up as obese on a BMI chart at 5'11"/215lbs. So the chart is stupid. Going with bf% is a far better method of determining whether or not someone is obese. Over 30% in men/37% in women sounds about right.
If you're fat now though, though it is *_your_* fault, we f our kids big time. Career almost always comes before family now. Somehow sitting a kid down with an iPad is acceptable when all the parents in the neighborhood should have their kids outside together a few hours a day after school. Parents feeding their kids frozen pre-digested food or worse, take-out from garbage fast food restaurants set our children up to be fat as hell adults. Cooking takes time. Not much, but god forbid a parent spends 15 chopping and 15 minutes cooking wtv they made. Being a fat child, at any point before adolescence makes being in shape as an adult so much harder than it should be. The kid has to learn to cook, stop eating fast food all the time, make themselves get in 10K or so steps per day, and do something that speeds the heart way up, gives it a break, slows it back down etc. for at least 30 minutes a few times per week...Oh, and they should also force themselves to pick up something heavy an hour/day 3-5 times per week to boot.
Now I don't think this is some big privilege in the US or Canada. There are very few real food deserts. Almost none. People can walk almost anywhere in the US, and that is by far the most important thing for general health _imo._ People can do pushups, jumping jacks, crunches etc. almost anywhere as well. Anyone who says _"Fresh Food is too expensive"_ obviously doesn't shop for groceries and cook meals. I can make dinner for 6 for $30 bucks. Or 6 meals for myself. A 900 calorie healthy meal with around 35-40 grams of protein. For $5/serving. So yeah, it's fine to be a little hard on adults for being overweight, but if you're the parent of a fat kid, that's on you, and the kids don't really deserve the fat shaming (of course telling a child that they need to lose weight for their health isn't fat shaming, it's the decent thing to do, and as the adult you have to let them know that it is your fault, not theirs').
As for the current _"BoPo/HaaS"_ movements, I am going with the _"Cut the shit and be honest with yourself and everyone else. It takes 5 minutes to fry chicken breast, throw some chopped bell peppers, garlic, salt and pepper on it and eat that instead of a Big Mac Meal with 3 cheeseburgers."_ Go for a walk an hour per day instead of playing Candy Crush for 6. And my gosh, we never have to encourage it. Anything that isn't _"Oh, being fat is great, you should get a free extra seat on the airplane."_ isn't an insult...they are legit crazy and *that* I have no problem shaming. If you're in a cult that encourages you to die 20 to 30 years early while telling kids it's fine, whelp then I can't really feel bad for you because I'll be too busy making sure the people I care about don't believe you. Just because the truth doesn't make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside doesn't mean it is wrong, and that, well that is absolutely worth shaming. Even if it was someone I cared about and they decided I was such a jerk they didn't want to talk to me anymore, if it saves their life, whelp I'd rather have them alive and pissed at me than dead.
there even was no bath suit they could wear, I remember that sometimes they just had to find some quiet place and wear normal underwear, white bras etc.
Everyone smoked!!!
@@yentavegan8823 My pediatrician smoked. I remember him telling my mother to roll down the window in the car if I was in it as he diagnosed me with pneumonia and flicked an ash into a cup with water at the bottom. Darn examination room was like a bar 1990's. Even as a kid I recall thinking _"I wish there was a window in here _*_you_*_ could open because this sucks."_ as I coughed up a lung.
I also remember flying to Florida in...1984 I believe, to visit my grandparents over April vacation. The guy sitting next to me smoked brown *cigar*ettes and it made me puke. I *love* flying, always have, but that trip from Boston to Ft. Lauderdale was not fun at all. I ended up smoking as a teen/adult, but was never a fan of smoking in places without decent air circulation and cannot, to this day, understand how people can smoke and eat at the same time. Though I'm fine with people smoking in bars or outdoor events, restaurants, airplanes, and fricken doctor's offices? I'm glad they got rid of that option for people as if it bothered me while I was an active smoker, I can't imagine how much it must drive people who don't smoke out of their minds. Of course it seems like everyone vapes now so idk...they're still getting bigger regardless of the appetite suppression qualities of nicotine. People are just lazier now, plain and simple.
My mother developed heart issues from phen phen, ended up on full oxygen for the rest of her life, she didn't get more than a few thousand dollars from the law suit; than covid came along, her doctor refused to treat her but was happy to give her the vax and every booster, she had several but she died from it; gone at the age of 77 and sick for almost the last thirty years of her life.
There is a difference between telling people they are at a weight that will negatively effect their health and/or life expectancy and being an a$$hat in doing so.

Nah. Sounds like a victim complex.
There is thin body shamming, too. I’m 64 year old mother of six adult, married children and grandmother of 12. I’ve suffered pain through autoimmune disease and pretty conservative person and I managed the pain always my whole life since I was eating through keeping my weight low which is about 115-125 lbs Forget, after my first husband died I was a widow left with two children under 20 months old I dropped down to about 110 which was not terribly bad for me, but I remember coming to a wedding and sitting down next to my sister-in-law who has been obese her entire life to this day. And she in her loud outgoing way went oh my God you look “so sick and so thin are you OK? “ and I remember looking around the table as everyone stared at me to respond, thinking I can’t believe that this is acceptable absolutely socially acceptable. I’ve never once said anything about this woman’s weight my entire life of knowing her.. so because we don’t have the relationship that warrants that conversation, and I would never hurt her feelings. I think it all stems to yes, thinking about where people have come from and the struggles they have to get them to where they’re at perhaps praying for them and if you’re so fortunate to have a relationship with them, speaking truth with love.
This happened to me too. I lost 80 pounds on Wegovy. First I got picked on for being fat, now they are saying things because I lost the weight. I did lose muscle and I am trying to put some back on. They don’t realize that skin doesn’t shrink after a certain age so you get excess skin after weight loss. So now I look like death. What pisses me off is that they are all overweight. My doctor says I am fine. So they say my doctor is a quack. You just can’t win.
I’m petite, strangers in public tell me to eat more food , all the time. I’m 5”3 108lbs , all I do is eat! This is just me.
Love Johann Hari. Knowledgeable and funny!
Newly in my journey here..... I've realized that I eat and stay fat to keep men from looking at me.
And then do you eat seconds because you’re lonely?
😢 that sounds so sad
Benefit to society edit yourself from the gene pool
Ozempic sounds perfect until you try to stop using it. No one is talking about that.
As a person who was born with a severe pyloric stenosis which is the malformation of the little sphincter that opens and closes each end connection to the stomach. Drs can easily fix this by surgery but mine kept telling my Mom I’d grow out of it. Even though there were times during my checkups that I weighed less than the last checkup nothing was done.
The effect was that any breast milk I drank came right back up and even when I was old enough to try to eat more solid food I could not keep anything down so I starved and was malnourished. My distended belly and spindly arms was alarming and I still had eating issues and the distended belly at 2 1/2 to 3 years.
Later I could still only eat very little at once and swallowing seemed very difficult. I didn’t hit my milestones and didn’t talk till 4 years, and had learning difficulties and autism and dyslexia with auditory processing issues and still do.
My long winded point is that if I would’ve been given vitamin and mineral supplements with complete nutrition for my weight starting from day one…I would’ve still thrived through my most formative years and most likely would have hit my milestones and had no long term effects like I still do.
Even now at 53, I sometimes have difficulty swallowing and eating enough but by now I never worry about what I eat or how much…. I always take my nutritional supplements with complete vitamins and minerals, high protein , fats and super food shakes.
So as long as you focus on complete nutrition with supplements,with drinking a lot of water…. You can eat very little and be healthy.
So hopefully if people take the Ozempic and loose their appetite and don’t eat…. They still focus on their complete nutrition with supplements and drink water and then they will be so much more healthy.

All of a sudden demand takes over supply and everything comes to a screeching halt. Fast forward, today I have boxes of this stuff in my refrigerator (all of a sudden, the supplies are no longer an issue) and I refuse to restart because of 2 reasons. (1) the supply chain might stop again and (2) the not knowing of the potential harm is just not worth the risk. Why keep getting your prescription refilled? Not sure 🤔 at the moment, scared to be without it and again, too scared to take it.

Johann's honesty about his life and journey are refreshing. Obesity doesn't discriminate over gay, straight, skin color, etc. Eat right, exercise, pray, and get support from family and friends before you take another experimental drug.
Just don’t eat carbs and the weight will come off naturally, Carbs in the form of fruit were traditionally only eaten in the fall,in season to (fatten up) for winter when food was scarce.
In what part of the world? No one on the Northern hemisphere ever ate fruit in summer also? In warm climates they just let all of the fruit go bad year round until the fall?
You are what you eat.
Don't be stupid.
Save yourselves.
Can’t believe you guys are taking it. Just eat a healthy diet. Geez!
So what do you do if you live in the country in Europe where the food (any food) is the most expensive, and the salaries are the lowest, and you have to survive on less than $20 per week after you pay for everything else, and all you can basically afford a bit of ramen a kilo or two of potatoes?
You eat whatever you can afford and fast. Intermittent fasting or prolonged fasting not only saves your money but reverses the damage that was done with high-carb food.
Intermittent fasting, home cooking with whole foods and protein-centric. It works. But it is time intensive and takes effort. Sometimes, I get tired of cooking.
Everyone will take these drugs and won't feel any better. Looking good is great but what builds confidence is working at a goal and reaching it. You get a since of pride and accomplishment that no one can take from you. You begin to believe in yourself. People eat like crap to deal with anxiety and/or trauma then confuse getting thin or ripped will cure the anxiety from being overweight, it won't work. Challenge yourself do hard things and losing weight won't be difficult anymore because you have built that discipline and what is the funniest thing is, how you look won't be that important to you anymore.
Be it such means well, especially when in this day in age people desire quick results. This would be especially true if this would also mean that they wouldn't need to try so much in order to obtain and maintain such results. Hopefully though they would manage to learn the hard way. Unfortunately though, plenty may simply become obsessed to obtain the next said easiest drug and may end up losing their life in doing so too.
It's quite hilarious for the process of weight loss and maintenance should be quite simple and straightforward and would need some means of consistency and yet we would rather overcomplicate things in search of that one magic drug that would make it even easier.
EXACTLY!!! Working out has taught me many things, but the most I’ve taken away from it is a sense of accomplishment. As you say, no one can take that. I was surprised when I went to the beach for the first time this year and I was, and I’m not bragging here, the most fit person in sight. It was kind of sad… in the back of my head I was almost ashamed for exposing my physique to these blob people 🤣
A few months difference in age, yet they look at least 10 yrs different. Could Ozempic accelerate aging.
yes, ozempic makes you look really old

Terrific episode. At 82 I am overweight not obese. Long Covid took 80% of my strength & energy--thanks Mr Johnson. I can walk twice a day around the Council Estate I live on. I need to live ten more years to ensure my younger Chinese Partner is safe with a long term visa in the UK & as a co-tenant in my council flat. And I'd like to finish my writings. I will check these 'magic' pills out. Thanks for this information.
A question not asked. Has he ever gone off the drug since he started taking it? If so, what happened? From what I heard, I don’t know, Sharon Osborn has stopped taking it and has not regained the weight. She looks very ill, actually.
Hi Johann Hari. You should check out Robert Lustigs' work on metabolic diseases. A conversation between you two would be grand..
Don’t we want to get rid of surgeries? Unless some extreme side effect pops up I think gp1 drugs are the better method. Mounjaro has changed my life I’m down 40 lbs, eating Whole Foods, tracking foods, drinking water, going to the gym, walking even when I’m disabled from a car accident and use a walker. I just walk in 10 minute burst and can swim hours on end.
What did the drug change about how you feel? Theoretically you could have done all those things anytime and lost weight. What about the drug made it easier to stick to those lifestyle changes?
@@droptableaccount1820 it gave me hope. I thought I couldn’t lose the weight before. I thought weight loss was impossible. What this drug does is like Dave Ramsey snowball method it gives you quick wins right after each other to build on. I’m now adding resistance training. Never saw a future of me doing that. Now everything is possible and anything is an option. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they find out it’s a will power drug where you can be your ideal self.
I am a lifestyle medicine educator and i 100% agree you can be both, against discrimination towards overweight people but also a proponent of being healthy. It is extremely challenging working with the public who now react when we point out the health problems of being overweight. The weight gains have happened because of how we live in an unhealthy social and economic environment.
I am 80…no diseases, moderate hearing loss…just had cataract surgery…5’4, 145, it is true… nobody was chubby let alone fat up into late 60’ unless the rare person and then we stared in disbelief
There is no side effect that will be experienced by enough people that take glp 1 inhibitors that can possibly be worse than the side effects from being obese. (Diabetes, heart issues, lung issues, issues with almost any organ due to fat deposits starving the organs, death from many causes, severe arthritis from hundreds of extra pounds on the joints over time, crippling spine issues, metabolism issues from fad dieting and losing and gaining weight over and over, mental health issues, eating disorders, etc,etc.)
Should never be comparing side effects from medications to nothing, you need to compare it to the disease it is treating. Diet and exercise has been pushed and tried endlessly for a century straight, and obesity has only continued to worsen, WORLD WIDE. Just like the war on drugs, it is a failure to continue down this road.
Nausea vomiting living on Imodium. losing muscle, your stomach stops working.
@@conniegilchrist6925 Obesity causes constipation as well, 10-15% of obese individuals suffer from moderate to severe constipation. Higher than the percentage from this drug. No evidence of significant muscle loss, but even if there is, again, obesity causes muscle loss, due to inability to exercise as you become larger and larger. A large portion of the listed side effects were also experienced by the placebo group in the studies, they received no drug, only placebo injections, and yet got these same side effects regardless.
People attempting to put others off of these drugs are literally killing people. These people will end up dying before they hit 60 years old if they stay obese (and most of them will without these drugs).

Paralyzing your stomach permanently, Losing muscle mass in your heart and having lower muscle mass will leave you sicker in your later years. The side effects are worse in MANY cases, not all. The you have to stay on it for life part as well. the muscle does not come back and the stomach does not start working again
@@conniegilchrist6925 Gastroparesis is also inherently associated with obesity as well. No quality evidence of any muscle loss, especially specifically in the heart. (And even if there was, being obese causes issues with every organ in the body other than the brain, severe issues, even cardiovascular related death )
Thus, again, just like I said before, being obese is far, far more dangerous than ANY GLP inhibitor is. Obesity is the second highest preventable cause of death in the US, only second to tobacco use (And it is about to pass that as well). More people in the 30-85 age group die of obesity related illness than drug overdoses. Anything anyone does at any time has inherent risk to it. Driving to work every day is far more likely to kill you than a GLP 1 inhibitor is, yet people drive for hours every single day of their lives without a single thought. Go ahead and keep pushing your fear mongering garbage along though.
Is there a benefit to taking glp-1 supplements like berberine to ozempic?
I have never heard of berberine referred to as a glp1 supplement.
Very interesting video; not that I could relate to the weight issues, which sound like a right nightmare to dea with. 😢
I know for me, the compounded mounjaro is a whole life fix. I no longer have basic life problems bc I'm no longer getting dopamine from unnecessary hauls.

I’m a 60 year old male 30lbs overweight. I’m low carb no sugar. Manage calories and strength train 3x week and there’s no way for me to shed this weight. The only thing has moved the scale is fasting. Not just Intermittent but not eating at all for days several times a week. But this is near impossible to sustain. My doctor thinks I should take glp-1 to get the weight off. I have been very conflicted and did tons of research but deep down I know there’s no free lunch so for now I’m trying to accept that I don’t exactly have the body I would like and I’ll have to carry this extra weight around. Not happy about it and I’ll keep trying naturally but these drugs scare me. I’m not diabetic and it’s a struggle just to not gain any more weight as I age further but for now at least I think I’m going to pass on this. I feel as though we’re witnessing the making of the next nightmarish Hollywood docuseries.

Keeping weight off is a lifestyle change. Also ketonis muscle sparing

Wonderfully informative and I was thoroughly impressed with the sensitivity you presented the information with. Balance is so important, that is correct. I also loved the humor! I wished that mental therapy and belief changes in the brain had been mentioned. This is where every permanent change I have successfully made, has came from. We need to make snickers and ice cream look like the maggots they are. I adore these things myself but I limit them to quarterly treats. Yearly, not hourly😂. I was amazed at the amount of people who are expected to be on these (medications?) and how many meds the average person takes daily, yet how popular it is to shame drug users. A lot of irony in life.
Great job to both of you! I subscribed, saved, and shared.
Thank you!!
We need to modify food labels. We're great at labeling calories, micronutrients, and even glycemic index. We need to find a way to measure satiety and what in normal food drives it. Then we can have labels that explicitly tells you how long it will fill you up.
People are addicted to sugar - and there is sugar in almost anything in a package. People are going to keep eating garbage no matter what is on a label. The key is weaning oneself off of sugar/carbs and starting over. People need to learn to cook - it's not hard. But a lot of people just will choose to not put in effort to get better. It IS what we are eating. Including pharmaceuticals.

The destructive effects of stress, which includes; chronic lack of sleep, chronic pain, chronic everyday stress, any pre-existing medical conditions, disability, needs to be emphasised more.
Chronic stress results in damage to & dysfunction of the HPA Axis which leads to; Hypercortisolism, Cushing's Syndrome, Adrenal Dysfunction/Crisis/Failure, Hypothyroidism, Insulin Resistance, Metabolic Syndrome. All of which will prevent or severely limit the individual from being able to lose weight via conventional methods.
Anyone who has tried conventional methods to drop weight but was unable to reach a reasonable goal should get a comprehensive Metabolic Panel & Hormonal Panel done. You may be shocked at what the results tell you!

The popularity of this by the general public to lose weight renders it more difficult to obtain for those who medically need it. Seems like it's a short-term fix with long-term side effects. It may help with the population decline issue if more people are feeling better with the weight loss, getting outside and dating more often...but if dietary and physical exercise patterns aren't corrected the children they raise will be led by example and the cycle repeats. Not to mention the issues that arise when someone goes off the this med for an extended period of time.
Don't eat the first junk food and you wont get fat, one day at a time, sometimes quickly sometimes slowly but weight management will materialise if you work for it 🙏

It’s a hormone not a drug. GLP-1 is an incretin, which is one of the gut hormones involved in blood sugar control. GLP-1 agonists help reproduce or enhance the effects of this naturally occurring hormone.
First off Jordan, I have to say congratulations that is an amazing accomplishment. I don't know how you did it. But BMI index has got to be the worst metric to use to determine obesity: I'm 5'10 and 185 so my BMI is 26 but I've worked out all my life and am muscular and look pretty lean with a 32-in waist and well under 15% body fat.
Also, I have to think we live in a pretty fucked up world if someone can lose 40 pounds or 20 to 25% of their body weight and not be considered obese... I mean (just overweight?)... really?
Seems crazy and not particularly helpful in having people address their issue.... And yes processed foods or UPF is the culprit. 30% of Americans are statistically just "overweight" while over 40% obese, so no doubt the health authorities don't want to 70% of the population is obese. And with the typical youth in America having a diet composed of 65% of ultra processed foods, I guess these stats won't really change much. 😢
Great discussion though.
Agree on the BMI metric. I am a 68 yo female 5'0, 155 lbs, which according to the charts is almost obese. I am extremely muscular, have a 31 inch waist and my numbers are always good. I carry my weight in my butt and legs but it doesn't affect my health AT ALL. I weight train 2-3 days a week and walk about 20 miles a week. I'm only on 1 low dose blood pressure med and most of my friends who are thinner are in worse shape than me and on more meds. It's crucial as to where you carry your weight. If your waist isn't sbout half your height, you're in trouble. BMI metrics typically have little bearing on the real state of health. Pretty much every body builder is considered obese using current metrics. It's ridiculous.
Meh.
People who work out and put on weight through muscle know the difference.
But for the average Joe Slob, BMI is a good indication.
I take ozimpic. Lost 20kg. Side effects I find are that as I am eating less I am taking in less proteins and my muscles got smaller. So I am at a weight now and hitting the gym and taking protein shakes. Muscle growth is returning and fat is slowly disappearing. Funny thing is this that I stopped the smokes at the same time and there are no cravings. Re side effects should have come.m out years ago as it’s been around for ages.

If you can fast 48-72 hours, once you get in the groove, that will change everything and you will feel "right".. Google microbiome and check out Wikipedia. Is all there. The drug path does not make sense and it has never worked. I can only imagine, in horror, what the side effects of a drug that messes up with nutrition. God help us...
Im carnivore 2 years now normal A1C and Leukemia gone and 85 pounds down. Never going back
I recently fasted for 46 hours for the first time. Not sure how to get past 48 hours!!
Someone is going to cry.
So many adherents of the carnivore and keto diets. What is sad is that those diets are promoted by industry who make money out of supplements because those diets are deficient in nutritional essentials. What we need to do is go back to a whole-food plant-based minimally processed way of eating. Research and long term studies who that this way of eating is the basis of longevity and less inflammation in the body.
How do we know it’s actually helping some people? Let’s check “all cause mortality” in 10 yrs.
Yeah that’s the biggest issue is our food supply, this weight loss drug is useless , shouldn’t be damaging your body for a drug, when the food is the issue .
I'm pretty sure most people don't have millions to lose. So i guess we're in the clear. Sheesh.. that was a close call.
😅😂😊🎉 no millions to lose either!!!
Oh gawd, the million different "nutrition experts" in this comment section are CRINGE
When I grew up, no one was fat or it was rare to see a fat person. It’s the foods available are addicting.
Johann Hari,
I hear him, but what needs to be revealed if he has Disclosures, which would effect what he is saying about Ozempic.
To me, he seems Biased toward the Drug.
Watching this the day after Oprah was hospitalized in critical condition.
I noticed that to and wondered if it was an ozempic issue vrs flu.
It must be very depressing not eating all day. I enloy y scrambled egga whilst watching the morning news or some salad with.chicken milanese on my sunny terrace or eating out al fresco some calamari with a beer at the beac h. To forgoe these ni e moments be ause you feel full can lead to depressio
Is calorie reduction rare? That's what the surgery is helping you do. So is Ozempic. It's all about calorie reduction.
Oh, you better believe the food industry is looking, going to spend billions, to find a chemical that will combat this drug.
Why don't people just learn how to eat properly? I am not sure taking a pill every day is very healthy.
Did he say you lose 8% of your muscle mass a year after 30? Because that is not true, that would mean you would have lost 80% of your muscle mass by 40. Surely he said "a percent" not eight percent.
I noticed that, too. I think he meant per decade. I think average is 10% a decade, without intervention.
Carnivore is the best way and most healthiest
Nonsense
Infant formula opens the door for people have no self control
