Weightwatchers is a non loss to society?

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

I can't wait for the injection that grows you muscles while you it down watching TV.

Injection? This isn’t the dark ages m’dear.
Comes in little blue tablets now…

 

[I'm With Stupid]

A bit of exercise and a calorie app are more than sufficient.

I think the simple answer is people by now should know it's calories in and calories out that matter.

You can lose weight eating shit calories but you soon learn that shit food isn't as fulfilling and you end up eating more.

The weight loss jabs work but they don't make you healthy and a lot of people who don't need them have started using them as an easy way out, as they can't control their impulses.

Well yeah, the problem is that they will 'solve' the obesity epidemic and there will be no push to regulate the proliferation of shite processed food that caused the problem in the first place.

- **Substitutions**: Swap proteins (e.g., chicken for turkey) or vegetables based on preference, keeping portions and calories similar.
- **Allergies/Preferences**: If you have dietary restrictions (e.g., vegan, gluten-free), let me know, and I can adjust the menu.
- **Calorie Tracking**: Calories are estimates. Use a food scale or app for precision if needed.
- **Variety**: Rotate vegetables and fruits to ensure nutrient diversity.

If you want a more detailed breakdown (e.g., macronutrients, specific recipes, or adjustments for dietary needs), let me know!

Aye, not one day of its "1200-1500 calorie" diet actually fits within that range. I find that AI results on more complex topics always look quite decent at a glance, but if you actually know anything about the topic, it can often be pretty inaccurate. I'm not a nutritionist though, so I'm not sure whether there are any other problems. But anyone trying to follow that is definitely reaching for a Big Mac Meal by lunchtime on Tuesday.

I asked ChatGPT to give me a breakdown of which members of City's squad will be homegrown and overseas players next season. I genuinely had to remind it of two players and it tried to include Julian Alvarez. It 'forgot' the different rules of the Premier League and UEFA competitions until I reminded it.

Yep Everytime you put it right it remembers it improves! It's the question you ask my question was a simple one.

It's why augmented (ie human<>machine) AI is the only effective answer - at least for now.

I’m sorry you have had to go through that. It all seems very unfair to me. It should be prescription cases first and foremost.

Thanks for that, I’m not a conspiracy theorist but it was “big pharma” making money I guess. Doing what they do best. As the GP was intimating the market in weight loss drugs will open up and the flood gates opening will mean that drugs like Ozempic won’t be a scarce resource. They can then be used properly for the reason they were developed, ie the control of blood sugars for type 2 diabetes.

Yeah, the makers of Ozempic were saying how much they didn't recommend it to be used as a weight loss drug while watching their share price rocket and making them one of the richest companies in the world. I suspect they aren't really that bothered about who's buying it.

Weight watchers Filing for bankruptcy?
So they’ve lost too many pounds?

 

[surprisedbygrass]

Weight watchers makes me think me of the shit going on with fans in football . Pay for your weekly check in, see your mates for a natter , happy or sad depending on the result , fomo keeps you hoping for that miracle while the media keeps the fantasy of success going and the company / club keeps taking your money as nothing ever changes. It's a closed circle with very little change for most .

I wonder what the football equivalent of these wonder injections will be ? Or was it City that destroyed the cost party ?

Not always, metabolism, not having a disability, but in the main, many can help themselves.

Allowing the spread of those awful takeaways on every street corner doesn’t help the craving.

A Krispy Chicken shop

A pizza and kebab shop
