Weight Loss Myth Busted
There’s been so much written about weight loss, no wonder it’s so hard to know what really works. But there’s one weight loss myth that has been busted. You may have heard experts and gurus say, “It’s not about the calories!” They have blamed junk food and renamed it ultra-processed food; they condemned sugar intake, seed oils, and a whole host of other things, but it’s not about the specific foods.
One fact that the increased use of GLP-1 receptor agonists has clearly demonstrated is that when people use the medication, they eat less. The biochemistry allows the body to do what the body is supposed to do when we’ve eaten enough calories: it makes us feel full, slows the stomach from emptying food, and decreases our appetite. That’s supposed to happen naturally, but we’ve allowed our body to ignore it and thus, we’ve eaten way more calories than we’ve needed; that’s why 70% of us are overweight. But at the end of the day, taking the medication forces us to eat fewer calories or suffer the consequences (which are rumored to be quite unpleasant).
Weight loss always was, still is, and always will be about the calories.
That myth is busted.
While we know that GLP-1 agonists work, are there any ways to help lose weight without medications? You’ll learn all about them when I update the Weight Loss Supplements webinar; it’s been 14 years since I originally did that webinar, and a lot has changed in the supplement world. Some are gone; remember hoodia? Some have stuck around, but new ones are on the scene. What has enough science to be a contender? Find out on January 24—more information to come.
What are you prepared to do today?
