This looks like a really good one, thanks!

They pretty much don't give up

This kind of moral judgement type of advice really doesn’t help.

Sorry if that was triggering, I'm not actually that kind of super critical person. I just thought it would be an appropriate time to slip in a joke-y phrase and I guess it didn't come across as lighthearted. I myself am very sedentary, so I don't actually hold contempt towards people for it.

That being said, the reason I threw that phrase in was because i feel the NHS (or at least, Wes Streeting) is making precisely these kinds of moral judgements when doing these decisions. And that the government is shying away from holistic improvement of our society.

On top of that, dieting triggers a hormonal process that seeks calorific foods and holds on to more of those calories. This has evolved to help us survive food shortages, but is backfiring on a population wide level now that food is no longer scarce. If dieting were the answer then Weight Watchers and Slimming World would have solved this problem decades ago. Instead they encouraged people to fall into the yo-yo diet trap that leads to ever more weight going on each time the cycle completes.

What GLP-1 inhibitors do is to shut down or quieten this hormonal response. This means that people can then do the obvious bit of eating less and moving more without their own bodies sabotaging them.

Very enlightening. This is pretty much what I wanted to know - if it's actually regarded safe and useful - because when ozempic was rolled out in the USA there was some uproar about it and I personally don't trust Trump's regime with healthcare, so seeing that the NHS was promoting ozempic gave me pause.

After seeing your reply and mannycalavera's i'm more optimistic about ozempic

Apparently red squirrels spread out more and are more competetive with one another, and also have a much more limited selection of foods. That's what i was thinking of. This is one of the reasons greys are considered so bad - they out a lot more strain on the environment compared to their red counterparts.

Man the law can be so dark

Every party in this country bears responsibility for the high immigration numbers

Does she not kmow how many parties there are in the country?

Was The Atomist Party, for instance, culpable for immigration getting out of control?

I'm being pedantic, however. Just think "every party sitting in westminster" would make more sense.

So it took like 5 years to get thst sorted out did it

Why does everyone suddenly seem to regard weight loss drugs as safe? Up until RFK became health chief in the USA administration, stuff like Ozempic was a joke. Now it's actually prescribed to people other than the Kardashians

The thing is, weight loss should be about learning and easing yourself into the habits of 1. Healthy Eating 2. Adequate Exercise 3. Not sitting on your arse all day, hence I feel like giving people a hack to skip all that grind is not good - you avoid learning about how to take care of yourself in the process.

But seriously, is ozempic some sort of scientific break-through, The Substance-style?

Sounds like their fix is 'tear down some buildings to put more parks in towns' but it is also solved by introducing more trams, metro trains, and better bus services, allowing people to travel to nature spots. And also mitigating the huge lack of mobility people face in english towns.

Lol what the fuck

Our reporter goes on a crawl to find out if a tart can really be worth £45

Really depends which kind of "tart" we're talking about doesn't it

If I speak I am in big trouble.
