[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I very much doubt that those on GLP-1s have not tried diet and exercise. But thank you for reminding us of the availability of that route. I’m sure you’ve enlightened many.[/quote]

Very likely you are right. But I was responding to a post that said overweight people have a choice between staying overweight and taking GLP-1s. This was not qualified by saying overweight people who have repeatedly tried dieting and exercise and despite their best efforts are still overweight.

I said this was a false dichotomy and pointed out that there are plenty of people who are overweight who have not seriously tried dieting and exercise and for this set of people trying the diet/exercise route before jumping to GLP1s was a sensible route that can work for many, sparing themselves having to take a medication for life. For this I was called judgey, dangerous and a hypocrite.

I am guessing the people posting on this forum must be chronic dieters who have met with little success before GLP-1s, and I applaud that success. But outside this forum there are plenty of people just not paying much attention to their weight gain and just accepting it without much thought.[/quote]

Yeah that last paragraph… you keep typing it… as if it is meaningful, thoughtful, or useful, when it is none.  There’s all kinds of people, including some who LIKE being fat.  But that is certainly not the norm, certainly no one here so far, and certainly not a person who needs be considered in a thoughtful discussion about GLPs.

You still don’t seem to get that.

You responded to a post with a sub-thread and jumped into the discussion accusing a poster of presenting a false dichotomy when they were responding to a post that said a person might be healthier staying overweight, and that the doctors helping them might be wrong.  Did you even read that one?  It appears not.

So yeah, you’re kinda dangerous… at least your postings here are.[/quote]
