Comment on Poll reveals the amount of Brits who would take weight-loss jabs for free on NHS
Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 2 days agoRecently there’s a lot of research about weight lost, and some of them found exercising isn’t a great way to lose weight, because when you do it regularly your body learn to adapt to the energy required for that activity. They found controlling what you eat is the better way, but i do know some people can’t lose weight that way either, no matter how hard they try. So this solution could be specifically aimed for that. Still, exercise is good for health though, pretty sure these jab will not have the benefits from exercising, and someone could very well rebound if they eat the same way that make them gain weight.
Also i don’t think the accessibility of gym is the key, exercise cost nothing if you go out and jog or ride a bike.

The trick is to fit exercise into a routine. Work + sleep + family + study can add up to all of the available hours. Subsidised gym won’t help with that.
Eating well: that also takes time. And planning. This is where we should be focusing our attention if we want to improve our country’s health. Not weight loss jabs and not subsidising gyms.

That’s not true, again he said literally the opposite - routinely exercising makes you lose less weight, not more. If anything this would suggest that exercising at random would probably make you lose weight more, just as an unfit person taking a run gets more tired faster than someone who does it every day.
Please actually read what the comment you’re replying to says.
Exercise does not make you lose weight, only eating less does, and the reason some people eat more is because they are genetically more hungry, these meds fix this, it’s that simple.

I think I must have hit reply on the wrong comment. I’m sorry it seems to have upset you so much.
