The 3 G's in the Hood

How these local G's will keep your belly in check.

The 3 G's in the "Hood" (the brain and belly): GI, GL, and GLP-1.

If a person is not diagnosed with GLP-1 Deficiency as the supposed metabolic inborn error of metabolism that CAUSED them to become obese — or have some gastrointestinal anatomical anomaly that after years of being obese was finally corrected with a surgical weight loss method — then why are GLP-1 agonists and weight loss surgery being touted as the salvation for the 48% of all Americans who are obese?

GLP-1 agonists, like Ozempic, with the guaranteed abdominal pain, diarrhea and nausea — if used to lose weight — will feel like GLP1-"AGONY" after 2–3 weeks of use.

Is starving yourself, feeling nauseated and vomiting a great formula not only to lose weight but to maintain the weight loss? A basic understanding of physiology, satiety, fiber digestion, flavor of food and alkalinity in the small intestines — coupled with GI/GL index and GLP-1, or the 3 G's as we would say in the scientific "hood" (brain and belly) — shows that foods which TASTE great and have a low GI/GL index will naturally elevate your levels of GLP-1. You feel full faster without the nausea, vomiting and diarrhea caused by a "weight loss medication."

As we keep saying at Lower6app.com: "People may not be compliant with taking medications like Ozempic, but people are compliant every day with eating food."
