[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The amount of people who are normal weight but simply can’t grapple and have such a problem with those of us taking these drugs is astounding. [/quote]

I don't have a problem with people taking the drugs who need them.

I am concerned with the [b]idea that we should encourage people to eat whatever and however much they want[b] (because there is "no evidence" that telling them to eat healthy and exercise does any good).  Then, when they eat their way to obesity, "don't worry, there's a drug for that."  [/quote]

Are the people encouraging this in the room right now?

Literally no one is saying this or doing this. You have completely made that up. You know there are benefits to health-seeking behaviors like eating a nutritious varied diet with limited processed foods and exercising even if they don’t lead to permanent weight loss, right?[/quote]

Yes, but encouraging people to exercise personal accountability by eating healthy foods for their health is seen as "fat shaming" on this board, bizarrely.  [/quote]

It really not. So stop tripping. Everything is a tool. Nobody is saying that folks shouldn't eat healthy foods or exercise even while taking these meds. If you eat badly while taking these meds, they won't work. So stop being ridiculous.[/quote]

I'm not talking about while taking the meds.  I have no experience with the meds and what you can/can't do while taking them.  I'm talking about encouraging healthy eating and exercise BEFORE people reach the point of needing the meds.

I'm glad you agree it shouldn't be perceived as fat shaming.  I think it is just simple health and common sense.  I don't know why it is so controversial here.[/quote]
