Weight Loss Thread

If you're on the course to die because of a lack of meds, it changes the calculus. Generally when you are offered something like blood pressure meds, the doctor tells you "Exercise more and lose weight or take this to compensate fatto". All the people really against taking medicine chose to exercise route instead already. Medicine in that case becomes a patch to extend your deteriorating life. I'd rather take every actual physical action to delay the necessity for such patches as many years as possible.

So while people out there certainly do butt chugg meds, I'd disagree with the idea that they are necessarily the same people.

Sad thing is I wish doctors did this. I had one fucking doctor in my adult life ever do this. Actually sit down with you and explain shit and even tell you shit you dont wanna hear. Most docs these days are nothing more than pill pushers. Almost as they get paid to push as much of this shit on people as humanly possible. 2-3 min look over, then they send in the nurse with a script and tell you to GTFO to make room for the next sap to enter.

I had this recurring sore throat problem in my 20s. I went to see like 3-4 doctors at different clinics, even EN&T specialists which none of diagnosed what the fuck was wrong. Most gave me antibiotics for a week or two, which the problem would go away, but then return. So finally I hit a jackpot with one doctor that looked in my throat and said, "you have acid reflux my dude." And finally solved my problem for good. It opened up my eyes to the whole medical system and doctors in general. The odds are not good, man. Going back to Pareto principle. And most people look at doctors with such high appeal to authority. While most of them are fucking losers in reality. Just like at any job. The good ones are fucking rare unicorns.
