As I always write on these topics, the best way to achieve a healthy weight and many other well-being goals is to do the following:

1) Eat _real_ food, including plenty of animal-based products and natural oils (like ghee and olive oil).

2) Avoid sugar, corn syrup, and most other natural and artificial sweeteners.

3) Avoid processed foods, especially processed carbs and seed/vegetable oils.

4) Stop snacking and investigate intermittent fasting.

5) Get plenty of fresh air and sunshine, while avoiding sunburn.

6) Exercise moderately.

7) Sleep long enough each night.

8) Find non-drug and non-alcohol stress coping mechanisms that work for you.

9) Pray.

10) Communicate with friends.

11) Consume fermented foods like natto, kimchi, sauerkraut, Greek Yogurt or Icelandic Skyr...

12) Take supplements like C, D3, K2... if you think you're not getting enough from real food.

13) Eliminate the need to take _any_ Big Pharma products for _chronic_ conditions.

Four years ago, my driver, very overweight, told me that he had been given Ozempic for his diabetes. I told him to get off of it immediately! Next thing I knew he was dead. They found him slumped over in his car. He was in his 30s.
