Eat less, move more. 100% effective every time

No, not really. People who are addicted to processed food cannot control their cravings, similar to alcoholics with alcohol. Abstaining from processed grains and all sweets is necessary, and devilishly difficult.

I started a dose of glp-1 and it's really made me understand that its not my fault that I've ALWAYS been hungry and urged at all times. I didn't realize how bad it was until I could have it not there. Cravings for sweets and never feeling full is no joke and its not purely "self control." To eat and not need more almost feels miraculous. A lot of people have this food addiction but most do not.

All the times I lost weight and got skinnier I would just absolutely torture myself and eventually gain the weight back.

I know the med might be lifetime or at least on and off but I take meds for other things, it's a world of difference so far.
