Please stop. Take the BS somewhere else. The mind is the ultimate healer? So you think you can eat McDonald's food three meals a day and if you have your mind in the right place you won't become diabetic? Wrong. The mind is important but the choices we make on a daily basis are extremely important and they trump the mind. I don't know who you've been listening to but please find better resources for your own health and well-being. More to the point, don't peddle rubbish to vulnerable people.

@bridaw8557 I said the same thing you did but less courteously because I was annoyed. You're right, it is indeed more nuanced than that.

@greco37 It is difficult to credit your question as being in good faith. My challenges with processed food? What does that mean? I don't have any challenges with regard to it because I stay away from it. Are you genuinely saying that you don't understand what the problems are with processed food? That you don't know that processed food is behind the epidemic of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer's? Processed food isn't food. Food supports health. Processed food doesn't. It supports disease. For many people in the US processed food comprises 70 to 80% of what they eat. Processed food is full of sugar, 64 different types at last count. It has pro-inflammatory oils and lacks real nutrition. Processed food is intended to bypass the body's satiety mechanisms in order to sell more. It causes an overwhelming insulin response which when repeated daily results in metabolic disease and eventually diabetes. This is the barest summary because I am not sure I understand your question. I don't eat processed food because I value my health. Does the mind matter? Of course it does. But can you fix the mind and eat a fast food or processed food diet and be healthy? No, you can't. Suggesting otherwise is dangerously irresponsible and delusional. I'm sorry to be that blunt but if you are not aware of the dangers of processed food you should educate yourself. I would start with Dr Robert Lustig and Dr Jason Fung both of whom have several good books and numerous videos.

Please stay away from these drugs. You don't want to be locked into taking a drug for the rest of your life to solve a problem that is dietary. Find Dr Robert Lustig and people like him who give good advice. Ozempic isn't an easy shortcut, it is a hugely profitable drug that will change your metabolism in ways that can't yet be anticipated. There is no easy shortcut to fix our health issues. We have to learn to eat real food, we have to get away from the hugely profitable processed food that is sold to us. We have to be willing to do the work. Taking a drug that will damage your metabolism and force you to take it in perpetuity is not doing the work. I've lost about 130 lb. My A1C is 4.4. I usually eat two meals a day sometimes I only eat one. Today I just broke my daily fast, I had heavy cream in my coffee and I made an omelette with grass-fed cheese, grass-fed butter, a few small cherry tomatoes, a handful of spinach and with it I ate half a small avocado. Total about 950 calories for the meal. I'll eat later again if I'm hungry and if I'm not I won't. All the food I buy is real food. I don't buy things that come in boxes or packages, I don't buy things with preservatives or added sugars. It doesn't take more than 5 minutes to make a delicious healthy omelette. Grass-fed butter, pasture raised eggs, good quality organic vegetables are more expensive but if you aren't drinking soda and if you aren't spending money on junk food, if you are eating one or two meals a day at least some of these things are probably affordable. I recognize that it is a privilege to be able to eat healthy food, we have to make that privilege readily available for everyone. There are extremely powerful corporate interests that want us to continue to buy their products. It is our responsibility to educate ourselves and to learn how to take care of our health
