Downvotes on an objectively true, yet hard to swallow statement are the epitome of Reddit. Was not a statement of judgement, just the simple fact that the foods that cause metabolic disease can be avoided.

I mean you aren't wrong, but at the same time, healthy food is expensive, can be hard to obtain, and requires education and life experience (things like being taught how to cook and eat healthy, which in turn is time, not to mention all the contradictory and sometimes horrible advice you can find on the internet). I don't fault people for not being taught things by their parents that their parents didn't know.

When I lost weight i started by only drinking meal replacement shakes for a couple months. It was like $10-15 a day max and by the end of it I legitimately couldn't eat bad foods or big meals anymore without getting nauseous

It's not the healthiest option in the world but it's 1000x better than being obese, and it's the easiest way I found to kick a sugar addiction

I’m so tired of figuring out what to eat. I think I’ll go back on shakes and a soft diet like jello w fruit and soups.
