If the corpulent of the US worked to an easy 23% body fat then the resultant drop in carbon emissions would be equal to taking 130,000,000 cars off the road and dousing every light in Las Vegas.
Go 70’s, cocaine, Tab, and Marlboro Lights…
“Not stuffing your face “ works and its free. Or a variant, don’t stuff your face with high sugar, high carb, calorie dense items.
Combine it with “moving around a bit” and its even more effective. And that is free too.
Sound like an knockoff of Ozempic
You don’t have to eat less, just crap more.
Incretins?
Here’s the catch:
“along with support to follow a reduced-calorie diet and increase their levels of physical activity.”
Anyone who follows a reduced calorie diet and increase their physical activity will loose weight.
Just stop putting shite in your body.
Let me guess. Is it the Covid ‘vaccine’? /s
Could have predicted the “eat less, exercise more” crowd would pop up.
A pretty fair percent of the population has metabolic issues. Personally, I eat about 1000 calories a day, have a physical job, walk, climb stairs, and do not lose weight. My resting heart rate is about 40. My BP is 117 over 72. I am sixty years old, 6’ tall, 268 pounds.
I had gotten up to 296, but I have a new doctor who saw my numbers (pulse, BP and weight) and was concerned. He basically put me on an amphetamine. It is meant for weight loss. You can only use it for 90 days. In that time I lost 30 pounds. Since I stopped, my weight has started creeping up again.
Some people have actual metabolic issues. To shame all overweight folks with “eat less and exercise” is detestable.
The COVID jabs are effective too. You lose a lot of weight when you die.
Take a look at people on the ‘Carnivore’ diet. Side effects are beneficial as well as the weight loss, ease of following the simple rules, control of appetite, improvement in teeth, gums, skin health, digestive tract happiness, sleep better... Take the 30 day challenge!

Hypersensitivity
Rare (less than 0.1%): Anaphylaxis, possible allergic events soon after injection (e.g., acute dyspnea, oro/facial edema, generalized urticaria, chest pain, edema (mainly peripheral)
Postmarketing reports: Drug hypersensitivity, angioedema, urticaria[Ref]
Oncologic
Frequency not reported: Osteosarcoma[Ref]
Cases of bone tumor and osteosarcoma have been reported during the postmarketing period; however, an increased risk of osteosarcoma was not observed in observational studies. Two osteosarcoma surveillance safety studies (US claims-based database studies) designed to assess the incidence rate of osteosarcoma showed 3 osteosarcoma cases among 379,283 patients and zero cases among 153,316 patients receiving this drug. A similar risk for osteosarcoma has been observed with comparators. The interpretation of these results suggests caution as data sources do not allow for complete measurement and control for confounders.[Ref]

“Depending on dose, up to one-third of the group on tirzepatide experienced nausea, while diarrhea was also relatively common (for 18.7–23 percent of participants). Some people also experienced vomiting and constipation, although it’s worth noting only a small percentage of participants left the study due to these effects.”
So, the “success” of this drug at helping people lose weight is proportional to the amount of digestive distress it causes.
Would it be surprising to discover that people with digestive distress also ate less as a result?
Unimpressed.
