According to some sources, at least 1 in 8 of the world population is classified as ‘obese’. Since nobody in any government seems to have thought up a working solution, what do you believe can be done to solve the epidemic?

    I can tell you what I did. I went from 92 kilos to 69 kilos in a year.

    1. Nearly removed all carbs from my diet
    2. Increased diet to include vegetables and chicken and eggs
    3. Removed artificial sugar
    4. Removed all apps which allowed food delivery
    5. Went to gym 5 days a week
    6. Told myself everyday “trust the process”

    I started noticing changes after 3 months.


    Now how do you convert this into government policy? That is a huge problem altogether. Long term thinking + strong regulations. Even if you try something like this, you will be ridiculed for suggesting government overreach. At the end of the day, a diet is a personal choice.

      This works, I did it too. I lost 65 pounds in six months, and It’s been gone for over ten years now.

      But, that doesn’t make profits for the rich and takes effort, so they made a drug instead.

        If you reduce obesity, how will healthcare insurance companies survive? Won’t someone think about the poor billionaire CEOs?
