As I continue to refine my understanding of a proper human diet, it is nice to see a growing group of advocates sharing information about the dangers present in our food industries. Most, if not many, of the easiest choices people make when choosing food lean towards convenience. “I was in a hurry” is not really a good enough excuse.

That bias towards convenience leads many people to a drug-based solution as well - specifically GLP-1 agonists medicines. Finding out what exactly is happening in the body to make that work and trying to figure out what all the long-term side effects requires a heavy lift. Would you spend over $1000 per month to become a lab rat? Who is willing to pay that much when as soon as you stop taking the drug, the lost weight will return?

A Better Approach

Slow, steady, and simple wins the race. I am more convinced of this every day. Remove all sugars and lower carbs to <35g/day. Focus on protein and unprocessed foods. Be active and outdoorsy. Get 8 hours of sleep daily.

If you can set aside the annoying presentation style of this guy, his information is pretty deep. A deep dive into sugar.
