#32It's against the HN guidelines to comment on whether someone read an article, but I find it interesting that nobody has yet commented on section 3 of the article, which, um, stands out, calls attention to itself. The elephant in the room, as it were.
"That night, you deadlift your body weight. You sneak a photo of yourself in the mirror and email it to yourself with the subject heading “You Are A Warrior”." I can see why she left him...

#33Ozempic (semaglutide) indicates it's not about willpower or bodybuilding. Keto diets already indicated this.
I did Keto for about 40 days a couple of years ago, it was very effective. However, it wasn't really about ketogenesis so much as it was about having a substantially reduced list of foods that I could eat. It forced me to select certain foods and I ended up with smaller portions.

I wouldn’t be so fast to downvote this. There is strong evidence that willpower is sometimes not enough, and if we have to provide a drug like we would for a brain chemistry or other chemical imbalance, we shouldn’t turn away from an appetite suppressant to solve for this. We simply need to drive the price down to make it less costly than all of the healthcare currently going into second order effects of broad popula…
I don't know much about this stuff, but could anyone explain why willpower isn't enough? Like - isn't this something that is in our control? Also - if you don't have the willpower to lose weight, wouldn't taking weight loss drugs put you at risk of relying on meds for everything? (Including stuff you might have the willpower for - now that you've tried meds, why would you ever do stuff the hard way?)
I wonder why people can't overpower their natural survival instincts... Geez these people must be lacking "Willpower".

I'm going to guess there's at least some actions you could be taking to improve your life in some way, yet you don't.
Willpower is a limited resource and some people have more of it than others.

#40I found intermittent fasting works well for my lifestyle.
Have no time in morning for gym. I replaced breakfast with coffee and almonds, have lunch with reasonable portions, dinner normal portions, and no food after 8 pm.
Been losing weight at about 1 pound per month.
