  It's diet. Exercise only interventions are ineffective. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212267214010557 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221226721... Anyway, the modern answer is Ozempic.

    It seems exceedingly unlikely that Ozempic will compare positively to regular movement and a healthy diet in the longer term. Even our most prized pharmaceuticals seem like hacks compared to behaviour-based solutions.

      It actually seems plausible since it has the side effect of stopping addictions and improving your self-control! https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2023/05/ozempic-addictive-behavior-drinking-smoking/674098/ https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2023/05/ozempic-a... But I don't think behavior and diet are necessarily the cause; there's some room for gut bacteria (which control your behavior anyway) and environmental pollutants.
