Losing weight
- See also: addiction
Losing weight is a goal for most of the world, and the vast majority of Americans, as of 2024. Liberal predictions of what they called a "population bomb" whereby mass starvation would result from overpopulation have been proven to be completely false.
Possibly helpful in losing weight are:
- weighing oneself every day, and setting goals
- becoming more religious; the New Testament is wonderful in overcoming addiction (and in Greek references it often)
- becoming active in conservative politics, and recognizing that liberal claptrap won't help overcome addiction
- reading and writing more, rather than watching television
- drinking more (but not too much) water
- limiting eating to an 8-hour period of the day
- lowering the intake of added sugar, which is separately disclosed on all packaged foods today
- substituting corn (without additives) for more fattening food, such as most breads
- removing beer from one's diet, and addiction to football-watching too
- avoiding, on at least one day each week (such as in honor of Good Friday), a fattening food in one's diet
Although using medications to lose weight has gained in popularity, and in some cases can be effective, they come with significant risks. A 2024 study showed that the popular medication semaglutide (marketed for Type 2 diabetes under the names Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy) comes with the risk of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, or NAION, causing sudden loss of eyesight (NAION is the second-leading cause of blindness from optic nerve damage, after glaucoma).[1]
