i started out doing inorganic chemistry, eventually decided on doing pharmaceuticals so I switched into organic chem and biochem to supplement. the more i learn, the more i realize the ENTIRE diet industry is a scam. Like not just most of it. ALL of it. The only advice anyone can give you to lose weight is to go hungry, unless they are giving you medicine which regulates leptin/NPY (which you will need to take for the rest of your life).

scientists have known since the 90s that our bodies have a “set point” in which our body heavily regulates our hormones so that we never go below or too much above that weight?? and like. nobody talks about it.

#sorry i am so angry because my (formerly) obese grandma just died after prolonged unsupervised use of ozempic #because her fucking doctor thought her weight was more important than her having enough muscle to walk/stand/not fall all the time #disgusting and tragic and because of fat phobia my grandma was perfectly happy to keep taking the medicine because she was just tired #of being seen as fat and lazy and ugly and whatever. and she was beautiful truly.#like it makes me so upset to think about all the times she bragged to me about being able to fit in a size medium now #despite the fact that she was wheelchair bound and a constant fall risk from muscle atrophy #because she’s also had gastric bypass which meant she couldn’t intake enough protein to prevent the muscle atrophy on ozempic #once again her doctor didn’t even care. so like. ugh sorry i’m just upset
