So for example, if you go to get a coffee and every time you go get a coffee, you see the donuts, so you get a donut, right?

Now you figure it out.

Oh, what's happening is that I have conditioned hunger, right?

I have every time I go to get a coffee, I want a donut.

So how am I going to change that?

Well, maybe you could use ordering app.

So you order the coffee, you don't even see the donut.

So you go get your coffee, you pick it up, but you don't get the donut, right?

Maybe you have to make rules like, oh, I'm gonna, you know, not eat after dinner so that you don't wind up tempted to eat, you know, at in front of the TV or, you know, late at night, you have to redesign your physical environment.

So maybe if, for example, you always get hungry at four,

four o'clock, five o'clock, or something like that, well, hey, maybe you need to schedule something.

Maybe you have to say, okay, well, at five o'clock, I'm gonna go for a walk every day, right?

That's gonna take your mind off and take you away from the eating environment, right?

Because if you're just walking around, you might go get something to eat, and you know that, right?

And it's not your fault.

Well, absolutely.

Because what's happening, of course, is you're using the drugs.

And I'm not against the drugs.

The drugs, what they do is they use one system, which is the GLP-1 system, which is part of the homeostatic hunger.

And it's not like it's a normal level of GLP-1.
