The psychology behind weight loss methods has created a moral battleground where people judge themselves and others based on whether they use traditional lifestyle approaches or pharmaceutical interventions like GLP-1 drugs.
People are losing 40 pounds on Ozempic or secretly microdosing GLP-1 drugs, while underground resentment brews between those who "did it the hard way" and those accused of taking "shortcuts."
We're keeping it real about the psychology behind the Weight Loss Wars using a (more reasonable) systems-based approach that eliminates judgment while optimizing for what actually matters: YOUR sustainable results.
Main Takeaways:
- "Ozempic envy" reveals more about our relationship with effort than with results
- Fat loss is an engineering problem, not a moral issue
- GLP-1 microdosing creates fascinating case studies in behavior modification (and still requires building lifestyle skills)
- The most successful people combine external tools with internal skill development
- Stop keeping score of who's doing it "right" and start engineering systems that work sustainably for YOU
