Doesn't GLP1 prove obesity is a hormonal imbalance issue, not a "willpower" issue?
>>
How? That doesn't make any sense.
>>
>>76820023
it doesn't surplus you're apple tight, you eat the same amount and still loose wait
>>
>>76820021
Hormones affect the brain but your inability to act in spite of them is a willpower issue
>>76820038
You eat less, GLP-1a doesn't increase calorie expenditure

Different people have different hormone levels, and research shows willpower isn't something you can "train" to expand very effectively. If one person only has relatively slight cravings and another person has constant more intense cravings, the second person will be much fatter on average. Even if they both have the same amount of willpower. The first guy just doesn't have to use his nearly as much.

fat people and regular people have roughly the same willpower. It's just what eats into that willpower pool. Fat people have something wrong with them that inhibiting appetite eats into that willpower pool and makes them less happy. Skinny people will have something else that does the same. For example a skinny introvert at a party. Or a skinny person doing homework.

here's some gold, kind redditor
>>76820066
there is a genetic component like everything but if you can't overcome it that is a willpower issue
most people aren't genetically predisposed to do the things they enjoy or are good at, they just put in the grit and work to do it anyways

>>76820055
they have effects independent of calories

>>76820021
its not math you cant really prove most things in medicine. we run experiments that either support falsification or fail to falsify a certain hypothesis
>>
>>76820090
>independent of calories
independent of calorie intake i shouldve said
>>
>>76820038
exactly my thoughts
>>
>>76820073
Explain this then fatass. Why do most people suck at academics and get deadend jobs? Why are they mentally drained just by doing homework instead of playing sports?
>>
>>76820038
>you eat the same amount
You don't. People taking them feel full after a few bites. That's how you lose weight -- it tricks your brain into feeling full with far less food. It's still CICO.
>>76820065
You can take steps to reduce cravings. Fruit, veggies, and water fill your stomach without many calories. Fat & protein are satiating and should be included in every meal. Substances such as alcohol, weed, and SSRIs make you hungry as fuck. Caffeine reduces appetite. Normal amounts of cardio reduces appetite. Getting enough sleep keeps hunger hormones at normal levels. Etc.

>>76820021
Nothing is a willpower issue if you dig deep enough because there is no free will. It's god-of-the-gaps. The more we learn about the body, the more engineered interventions, the less responsible we judge someone morally for erring. Every single bad thing someone does is potentially an engineering problem waiting to be solved.
>>
>>76820021
No.
>>
>>76820021
Yes and no. Some people have the willpower to overcome their hormonal imbalances, as evident by the fact people have lost weight naturally. Most people can't however, so it makes sense to supplement the missing hormones the way you'd take testosterone replacement as you age.
>>
>>76820021
no I eat like a complete lardass i should be like 300 pounds but i am 195 shredded why? cause i workout.
>>
>>76820021
yes
>>
>>76820090
if you happened to read the study you posted, you'll see that it says there was no significant difference in energy balance between the placebo and GLP-1a groups (table 3)
that is, the GLP-1a group literally just ate less
>>76820120
oh but they still do those things don't they? so much for "muh willpower is weak"
>>
>>76820375
>but they still do those things don't they?
I would argue that they in fact do not, I would even say that it is self evident they do not and someone who does is in one of the smallest rarest minorities on this planet.
>>
>>76820375
you literally didnt read it. calories were similar in both groups outcomes were different
>>
>>76820038

>>76820038
>Niggers using text to speech
>>
>>76820021
yes.
>>
>>76820398
look at table 3 you retard, energy INTAKE (calories eaten) was lower in the GLP-1a group
>>76820391
if they didn't then the world would grind to a halt genius
>>
>>76820134
Well gosh that all sounds really hard, I think I'd rather just be a big pharma paypig for life instead
>>
>>76820021
probably just that a childhood/lifetime of bad eating habits is hard to break for some people. I did some natty cuts and the hunger is the worst part of it, being on tirzepatide made it deeply uncomfortable to overeat, imagine a free-roaming dog getting put on a 20' chain and hitting that hard "stop".
>>
>>76820021
You train your body through bad habits
The drugs drop the cravings from the bad habits
>>
Most people are too stupid to understand the deep physiological processes of regulating hunger. Its not worth discussing because idiots will never learn
>>
>>76820021
It literally prove CICO right
