Obesity is forever – if you eat this

A doctor reading this blog sent me an email:
Hi Andreas,
I found this bit of obesity medication marketing too ironic not to share. The local drug rep treated the docs to breakfast last week. The promotional literature was nestled next to the pastries, fruit bowl and OJ. As a long time member of your site, I thought you might appreciate the irony.Keep up the good work,

A chronic problem
The best way to get “chronic” obesity – obesity that never, ever goes away – is to keep snacking on pastries and drinking sugar water.
This, of course, is great for business for the drug company Novo Nordisk. Their $1000-a-month drug Saxenda makes people lose around 12 pounds (5.5 kilos) as long as they take it and suffer the side effects. Once people stop taking the drug the weight comes right back.
There is another, better way to avoid chronic obesity. Avoid eating the bad carbs that make people obese.

Do you too have something interesting that you want to share? Just email me at andreas@dietdoctor.com.
I don't know about/care what food some sales person has to bring in, in order to get infront of my very busy physician, but I am sure as hell glad they did, so he knew about this product, and was able to prescribe it to me! This seriously changed my life...
And for "Dr Sodicoff" to put that company on blast, seems a little immature (unless he is a paid spokesperson--any press is good press). If he really cared about helping his patients lose weight, he would use every tool he can. Education on food is great, but some people cannot control their hunger. I'm hoping that Doctor's solution for his patients isn't "hire me as your slap chef" as seen in this Amy Schumer video!

Ideally drug marketers should avoid using such techniques that they wouldn't want their customers to know about. In the future, makers of this drug would be prudent to amend their ways.
