Yes. Or maybe, hormonal imbalance are so frequent more and more people become addicted to food?

My food addiction is caused by a grahlin hypersensitivity. It's hurtful to go on a fast, but I still do it every other year to rebalance myself. If I could have, I would probably also tried ozempic when I was obese. I'm now close the 'healthy' 25BMI so I probably won't though.

For people with addiction caused by insulin, I'd rather have them take ozempic than try the only method that worked for me.



I am a big proponent of fasts so I'm biased, but how is a weekly injection better than a free fast that you do once a year?


Fasting hurts (the first one is really painful), demands prep, and I usually take time off when I do it. It only works with grahlin induced addiction. I will keep doing it because I have the habit now, but imho, on a macro perspective, openzic is better.


Because the injection is basically the only sustained weight loss mechanism that works on the population level. If a fast works for you knock yourself out. But fasts also come with risks like dehydration and malnourshiment.
