I went from 280-210 with it. Then I couldnt get it filled and started emotionally eating because of my ex and I’m back at 270. Doc will start me on Wegovy next, but these damn drug are going to save so many lives.
Not only does it help you lose weight, it helps you eat healthier. Like, shit, it’s perfect.
Maybe in the long run, but I don’t think people overeating less is going to have any sort of immediate effect on food production. A bigger problem is all the waste.
My roomie is a trucker. For a while he delivered goods to grocery stores and such. Quite frequently they’d reject entire pallets in case of even minor damage. I sort of get it, but also not. They’d end up with literal tons of bread for example, enough to feed a town for a week, that would just go to be incinerated. Some warehouse workers and drivers allegedly took bread with them home, which they’re not allowed to do because that counts as theft.
Cutting down on food waste should be a very high priority, it’s great on an individual level because food is fucking expensive so you’ll save money, but even more so it’s important on a larger scale. It’s not okay that corporations and companies can waste food as wildly as they do. Agriculture is one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, only topped by power and heat generation and transport (which honestly, food production uses both of those), so such wanton waste because a pallet got slightly scuffed should be penalised.
It also shouldn’t be fucking criminal to take stuff that’s going to be incinerated anyway. The main excuse is obviously “but it could be harmful” - bread doesn’t bruise, if something got particularly squashed people just won’t take that, but the vast majority of the stuff could’ve honestly just gone on store shelves.
Food waste is an issue indeed, but knowing the carbon impact of the food in general, this tend to be so high that an electric bike is more efficient carbon wise than a regular one because the food we need to eat to get back those calories are in general more carbon intensive the the energy we get from the grid.
Not that peoples should stop exercising, but eating less and get healthy in the process is a win win in this case
Semaglutide is a hell of a drug.
Cheers bro I’ll inject to that (in a controlled environment as prescribed by my doctor for diabetes management)

That’s good even for environment

Fat people sequester carbon. When they lose weight it gets released back into the atmosphere.
Lol
