We can understand it and we can do something about it. And again, we can help people thrive. A lot of people quickly then go to Ozempic. Let's just prescribe Ozempic for everybody. Put everybody on Ozempic. That'll save the day. No, that won't save the day. there is still a root cause of the obesity.

And if we don't address it, if we just ignore it and treat the symptom with Ozempic, and I'm not anti-Ozempic, If people need Ozempic to get a leg up on the lifestyle changes that they need to make, if that helps them get over their addictive cravings for the junk food that they should know they can't eat, then I'm all for it.

But what I want to be clear is that our dietary advice for too long has been too simplistic. We tell people eat less and that'll solve the problem. So you can have Doritos still, but just eat fewer of them. Instead of eating the whole bag, eat half the bag. You can have your chocolate chip cookies, the ultra-processed kind, not the kind that grandma's making, the ultra-processed kind of chocolate.

You can have those chocolate chip cookies, but just have two or three instead of ten. The problem is that people can white knuckle it for a few weeks or a few months. They can, and this is the illusion, is that people can white knuckle it. They can white knuckle it and eat less of that crappy food. And sure enough, their weight will go down a little bit.

And then everybody will say, see, see, it's a willpower thing. But that person will slip back 95% of the time. That's what the statistics tell us. 95% of the time when they lose weight in those ways, they will slip back. Why? Because their cravings will come back. Their cravings actually never left. They were just white knuckling it. And people can only white knuckle it for so long.

So instead, what I would argue is that people need to be given better advice. And that advice means some foods are going to be healthier for you than other foods. You can't eat bags of Doritos every day and think that you are going to be healthy. You can't eat ultra-processed chocolate chip cookies every day as your treat and think that you are going to be healthy.

And it's not because those foods are so delicious. So some people will say that. They're just really delicious. Well, grandmas made delicious food 100 years ago. We had Thanksgiving celebrations 100 years ago.
