Truth nuke of the day. A calorie deficit is the only 100% proven way to lose weight. If you didn’t lose any weight then you probably weren’t actually in one. No known medical condition can override a calorie deficit. Let’s go build our best selves!

this. so tired of “i eat healthier” “but i work out” “i got on new meds” all those things might affect your hormones and rate of progress, but your body cannot rewrite the laws of thermodynamics. CI<CO=weightloss

You’re not a fucking doctor. You have no idea how people with obesity struggle and eating disorders struggle with calorie deficit and how things like that makes their mental health even worse

Read the nutrition information on whatever you eat. You can also use a food scale if you like to cook like me

i would find a Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) calculator online, you can just google. it will ballpark your daily maintenance level, better to be conservative with your activity level, and then subtract what you want to aim for. past that, food scales or actually measuring and reading nutrition facts.

All ozempic does is nerf your appetite putting you in a deficit. You don’t need it to lose weight!

you just said it though that it can slow the rate of progress and everyone’s nutritional circumstances are different, so i do think they’re valid excuses especially for people who can’t safely remain in a deficit

taking a year to lose the same weight is no less valid than someone who fasted for a month straight. being realistic about your sustainable weight of progress is one thing, saying “i can’t lose weight” when you are refusing to stay consistent is another.

we are limited to 200 characters. we are more than valid to come and make a compelling claim, and if you find it baffling enough that you want sources, then you can go verify it. we are not about to sit here and demand a bibliography for what others can gather through intuition.

i feel sorry for you if you seriously would rather take the time to be a dick than look something up - you could’ve found three or four different sources supporting my claim by now, take an ozempic and calm down if you’re that against research ❤️

you don’t need to be a doctor to know its main function (as a non diabetic) is to curb appetite. it’s not boosting metabolism or making you process it differently. you’re just not hungry
