The other night while preparing dinner I heard an ad about weight loss.
It also said that obesity is a chronic disease! Ah well ! If it’s a disease we will be able to make and sell pills! Do you see the marketing? Fruits and vegetables do not bring as much money in health problems …
It was not the first time that I heard it so I went to type the web adress announced. The word is in bold because you have to know that it is an advertisement!
What I read really blew me away at the phrase ‘Every time you lose weight your body tries to gain it back.’
I lost my 50 pounds in 2017 and I restarted to gained weigth in the Winter, February 2020, quitting smoking was very difficult.
But I still had spent at least a year and a half without gaining weight. Which was the first time in my life!
So I shared the image on my Facebook group OnMagasineExtra and realized that it was still a popular option for some. I respect those who take this path. But do you know what really got me thinking?
- I changed my diet to avoid taking MS drugs because they have a lot of side effects and as a result it made me lose weight …
- People take drugs with side effects to lose weight …
This is top level pharmaceutical marketing aerobatics in my opinion!
Make us believe that a pill can really help us lose weight … And this morning I read an article written by
The Food Professor Dr. Sylvain Charlebois: ”The best medicine, in or out of the COVID-19 pandemic, is sound nutrition”.
I already feel better, despite the snow today, because I have been eating well for a week and a few days …
I’m not saying the food is miraculous, I’m just saying that drugs often come with side effects which aren’t always the best…
Think about you & Have a nice day!
