The thing is, many of the manufactured foods cause weight gain - not specifically 'junk food', just additives to common foods that cause the body to grab onto fat cells at an accelerated rate.

Couple that with the growth of commonly prescribed medications that lead to weight gain, and you have the beginnings of a vicious cycle. Once you have extra weight, it becomes significantly more difficult to lose it - you will have developed joint problems, diabetes, and other metabolic conditions that make moving freely difficult.

CAN you begin losing weight?

Certainly. But, it's NOT going to be easy. And, in the absence of access to a pool - which takes the pressure off the lower body - moving and exercising can cause problems such as shin splints, broken bones, back pain (not always a temporary condition, but leading to lifelong deterioration of the spine).

It's more expensive - junk food is cheaper.

Hi Bill, thanks for clarifying that individuals are in no way responsible for the state of their own health.

Now what happens when you reach your desired weight - can you just stop your weekly injections and you're good to go? Or do you do them once in a while? Or is this one of those corporate every-week-for-the-rest-of-your-life dreams?

Perhaps the reader who so astutely skewered the thyroid cancer risk prominently featured on the web site might want to dig into other Mounjaro serious side "features," like pancreatitis, hypoglycemia, serious allergic reactions, kidney failure, severe stomach problems, changes in vision, or the common side "features," including nausea, diarrhea, decreased appetite, vomiting, constipation, indigestion, and stomach (abdominal) pain. N.B. "these are not all the possible side effects of Mounjaro."

Were I in your position, I might want to explore this: https://www.mindvalley.com/wildfit/content/people-dont-fail-diets - I have done other MindValley programs, and found them insightful and worthwhile.
