Yep. The answer isn't nutrition and exercise.

Drugs. Big Pharma.

Local Miami media was hyping this Pandora's Box recently.

Many, many moons ago, while Michael Jordan was still playing basketball, I read about an ‘update’ to the BMI parameters. If you used Jordan’s height / weight with the ‘New & Improved’ BMI index, Jordan qualifies as obese. How many others were told they were obese?

Government + ‘science’ a recipe for death.

One lady took Ozempic and she ended up killing off her teeth.

There is no other solution than exercise and diet.
Also, weight isn’t the issue, but composition. Men should be 15-20% fat and women should be 20-25% fat. If you are there, you are at your proper weight.

Ozempic is over a thousand dollars a month. It is meant for life long use. Somebody is making bucks!

Mathematic and physics are the pinnacle of the sciences, nothing happens in violation of them.

Calories consumed vs calories expended is the basic formula regarding weight gain vs weight loss. There are ZERO exceptions to this simple formula. I don’t give a damn about glandular problems or genetics or any of that crap. Those are real problems certainly but if you consume more calories than you expend, you gain weight. Expend more than you consume you will lose weight.

Weight is, of course, only part of the equation. Exercise--and lots of it--is an imperative.

Without exercise, the body just withers. It is built to move and the more movement it gets, the healthier (and happier) it is.

The good thing is that it is never too late to start. Even an unused body will quickly adapt to exercise.

It is even a great antidote to depression.

The problem is simple — people eat too much. Eating has become a passtime.

With Gupta, always do the opposite. This article is just a promotional ad for Ozempic. There are going to be so many lives ruined by that.

After the birth of my second son, I put on about 30 pounds. I look back at the pictures and see that I was pudgy. One day I got on the scale and noticed that I still had the 30-lb weight gain from my pregancy. I realized that there was no baby there and that it was fat. I have taken up running and watching what I eat (everything in moderation, very occasional fast food burgers). My weight goes a bit up and down within 10 lbs depending on whether I am in marathon training, but I haven’t got back up to that 30-lb overage. Exercise has been beneficial for me!

The equation is academic:

Make people dependent upon the state for medical care, etc., and they tend to vote in support (dem).

This has been ongoing for decades (obesity), but I don’t believe that the manipulators saw its value until the 90s.

The new ‘drugs’ are a logical development in support of the equation, no different than the jabs re the plandemic.
