I don't think a reduced demand for food is necessarily a bad thing (except for the producers), especially if it makes for a healthier populace.

On a side note: taking weight-loss drugs may end up turning out to be a major health problem, as long-term effects will start to surface. Remember when everyone thought doping all the young, school-aged kids with ritalin and adderall was a good idea?

Not at all. But I'm losing plenty of weight as it is just from dietary and exercise changes. Down to 194 from 245 in six months

No but I hope to be this year

No. I exercise vigorously and eat healthy like a normal person.

I’m 80, overweight, and diabetic and am taking Mounjaro which helps my diabetes and weight loss simultaneously. I has cut my urge to eat drastically which in turn helps my disease and weight loss.

I am 74. Started a low calorie diet 20 months ago. I am disabled, have an autoimmune disease that limits my ability to move around, so no exercise & hypothyroid. I am 5’3” & have lost 80 lbs. 247# to 167#. This is the lowest I have weighed in 30 years. My doctor was disbelieving that I did not take Ozempic or similar drug. It was challenging, but I was steadfast and determined. I am now off of medication for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. This method may not work for everyone, but I am sure glad it worked for me. I am still working to loose another 30 pounds. One day at a time. My calories are 800 - 1,000 a day.

I love potatoes!

They shouldn’t dump them. They should donate them.

One month into Zepbound for sleep apnea. So far no noticeable weight loss (and yes, I am cutting calories and exercising). Will bump up to the next dose next week.

Does cocaine count?

no I just eat less when I want to trim down, pretty simple.

5’2” @113# … I’m ok

I’m taking Mounjaro primarily for diabetes, but I’m hoping I’ll also lose some weight.

April Fool's.
