Our society has become more obese with all of the accompanying conditions: heart disease, diabetes, etc. It's VERY DIFFICULT, almost impossible, to lose weight with the average American diet featuring high carbohydrate, high sugar, high salt processed foods which are quite addictive. A ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting might be successful and should be tried BEFORE surgery and drugs, the medically approved and patient preferred way of providing a quick fix. Declaring Wygovy effective for heart conditions allows it to be more easily covered by insurance. This is a win/win solution that is beneficial for everyone--except for the patients' health.
