- patentatt 10mo agoI find this humorous but I’m also genuinely curious what the analogy is between fiber and GLPs?
- mminer237 10mo agoFiber is essentially mass with little to no nutrition in it. So it makes you feel fuller without adding calories, like GLP-1 drugs. I do think there's a strong argument that lack of fiber and protein are huge contributors to the world's obesity problems.
- array_key_first 10mo agoIn most developed countries people eat lots of fiber. Like just unbelievable amounts of meat, more than ever before in human history and prehistory.
- warkdarrior 10mo agoWhat are you talking about?? Meat contains no fiber. The primary fiber source is plant-based foods (e.g., vegetables). So modern populations eating lots of meat means they're getting little to no fiber.
- array_key_first 10mo agoSorry, that was a mistype, I mean lots of meat, very little fiber.
- alvah 10mo ago"So it makes you feel fuller without adding calories, like GLP-1 drugs" Nobody really knows how GLP-1 agonists work, but given the other effects (e.g. insulin stability, change in other addictive behaviours etc.) it's definitely not just this.
- Zacru 10mo agoProbably simply "makes you feel full longer".
