[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s the calories.

I moved to an East Asian country almost two weeks ago and don’t have my kitchen set up yet, so have been eating exclusively at the local outdoor hawkers.  The traditional food on offer is much lower in calories.  I’ve lost 6 pounds without trying.  And I had accepted those extra 5 or 6 pounds as permanent when I turned 40.  None of the other women in my age group here are overweight, either, and they are eating the same filling, low calorie things.

When I go back to the US I will gain back my 6 pounds of fluff, I am sure.  It’s hard to feel satisfied with the foods at home and I eat more calories, even though it is mostly healthy foods.

So Wegovy, move somewhere you are forced to eat at less calories, or develop the self-discipline I never had: all reduce calories and have the same result.  It isn’t magic.

No one said it was magic.  Quite the opposite.  There's more to it than "forced to eat at less calories".  This is the point you and other ignorant people refuse to acknowledge. [/quote]

Oh, ok, I’m “ignorant” because I told you my story of being unable to lose 4 pounds for years, thinking I ate healthily, and then being forced to actually eat fewer calories on this trip and quickly dropping the weight I struggled to lose for years.  And… there are no obese people on this place that I have seen: they are all super slim.  But the less caloric food is definitely not keeping them slimmer than Americans in general and definitely not what caused me to drop the weight I struggled with for years very quickly.  That is all ignorant.  Because you say so!  Gotcha.  [/quote]
