Ozempic is an antidote to hunger-promoting ultra-processed foods.
Take away the poison and the antidote may no longer be needed.
That said, it’s a great option to have.
Apr 10
Ozempic does not “force” a caloric deficit like a cattle prod. It changes appetite signaling, satiety, gastric emptying, insulin secretion, glucagon, and in many patients improves glycemic control, fatty liver markers, and cardiometabolic risk. That is metabolism.
The phrase “chemical crutch” is just moralizing in a lab coat. We do not call insulin a crutch, or antihypertensives a crutch, or glasses a crutch. We call them treatment.
And this obsession with “root cause” is usually a racket. Obesity and metabolic disease are not one thing with one sacred origin story. They are genetics, appetite regulation, food environment, insulin resistance, sleep, medications, activity, and yes, inflammation. GLP-1 drugs act on several of those pathways at once.
So no, this is not merely appetite suppression while the “real problem” hides in the basement. It is treatment of the very systems that are dysregulated. The scale is not the only outcome, but pretending improved blood sugar, less visceral fat, and better metabolic function do not count because a drug was involved is ideology, not medicine.

Berberine is NOT "natural Ozempic." That's marketing.
You know what actually triggers your body's own GLP-1 response?
Protein. Fiber. Real food.
No supplement needed. Possibly no prescription either.

Nutrition X right now:
"Protein is king! Proteinmaxxing!"
"No, fiber is the new protein! Fibermaxxing!"
Here's the thing — they're both right.
Protein is the most satiating macronutrient. Fiber slows digestion and feeds your gut. Together, they're two of the most powerful levers for satiety.
But separately? Weaker, much weaker. Oatmeal is more filling with a few eggs, and vice versa.
Stop maxxing one nutrient. Start maxxing satiety per calorie.
The foods that score highest have BOTH.

Everyone's arguing about seed oils.
PepsiCo is removing them from Lay's. MAHA says they're toxic.
Here's what nobody's asking: why are you eating Lay's in the first place?
The seed oil isn't what's making you overeat chips. It's the combination of fat salt crunch engineered for minimum satiety per calorie. This means you'll eat more and buy more.💰💰💰
Remove the seed oil, add beef tallow, and you still have a chip designed to make you eat the whole bag.💰💰💰
The oil isn't the problem. The satiety score is (2/100).

The Japanese concept of "hara hachi bu", eating to 80% full, is trending.
Beautiful idea. Hard to execute when your meal is designed to make you overeat.
Ultra-processed food bypasses your satiety signals. You blow past 80% before your brain even registers a bite.
But eat a meal high in protein and fiber, with low energy density? Your body hits 80% naturally. No willpower needed.
The ancient wisdom works — but only if the food works with your biology, not against it.

The NUMBER ONE customer request is finally here.
Not only that, the team really delivered.
It's now possible to import new recipes into the @JoinHava app. You can see their nutrition and satiety scores, and easily save them for later, or log them.
You can import via image(s) of the recipe – e.g. take a picture of a screen or cookbook. You can import via link (e.g. from social media), or just by describing a recipe (e.g. "a popular high-satiety breakfast recipe").
What's more, you even get an AI-generated image for your recipe (after 30 seconds or so). I like it!
Please try it out and tell me what you think. What should we improve or add?

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are a partial antidote to the modern ultra-processed diet, with its low satiety.
Apr 6
Inarguably, as a species, we kind of didn’t need exogenous GLP-1 back when our diet had a higher satiety per calorie. 😁
Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge GLP-1 fan and I prescribe it all day long. But most of my clients don’t get exactly where they want to be with drug alone.

400 calories of Cheerios with skim milk: hungry again in 90 minutes.
400 calories of eggs with vegetables: full until lunch.
Same calories. Wildly different satiety.
This is the only nutrition metric that matters for weight loss — how full does this food make you, per calorie?

Do you want to check the satiety effect of what you're eating?
We built the @JoinHava app for exactly this. Just take a picture of your meal (or scan a barcode) to find out in seconds.

Ozempic users are eating less junk food and spending less on groceries.
That's a satiety effect.
GLP-1 drugs suppress appetite. But so does eating 30g of protein at breakfast. So does fiber. So does choosing whole foods over processed ones.
The difference? One costs $1,000/month. The other costs $3 in eggs.
We've medicalized what used to be common sense: eat food that fills you up.

This graph shows what happens when people eat higher-satiety food. It's based on over 250,000 days of eating.
X-axis: Hava satiety score (0–100). Higher = more filling per calorie. Y-axis: Total daily calories.
The average American diet scores about 27. This drives increased hunger and overeating.
Move to a score of 70 and calories drop by half — without hunger, without restriction. People just naturally eat less because they feel full.
Aiming for a score of about 50 is a great start and likely enough for most people to get a good weight and health.
This is what Hava measures. Every food gets a satiety score (just take a picture of a meal or scan a barcode). Eat higher on the scale, as much or as little as you want, and your body does the rest.

There have been a lot of great updates to the @JoinHava app lately. Here's one of them. Just click the protein or calorie numbers to get all the foods in a meal sorted by that factor (by gram or calories).
You can also show the carb grams or fiber, and obviously our satiety score.
Super convenient to switch with just the click of a button.
Try it out and let me know if there's anything you're missing in the app.

The shift in US nutrition guidance is finally here 😃 🍎 🥩
The old Food Pyramid guidelines scored only 33 in the @joinhava app. This approach, which prioritized refined carbohydrates over protein, proved to be a design problem (not a willpower issue) that contributed to weight gain and poor metabolic health.
The good news is that the updated guidelines represent a significant jump, scoring 54 in @joinhava. This value aligns with the 50 threshold the app recommends to foster better metabolic health.
The change is clear:
• Less emphasis on the wrong foods.
• More focus on metabolic health.
• More protein where it actually matters.
Nutrition policy is finally moving closer to physiology, an approach championed by professionals like @DrEenfeldt and @tednaiman 😎
Sustainable health comes from eating with your biology, not against it 😏💪

Thos is the cause of common obesity.

It's a satiety per calorie issue. We all eat to satiety, but choosing higher #SPC foods lets us stay full while eating fewer calories.

Thanks!🙌 I also use it daily (more than 2 years now), and it's made maintaining my favorite weight SO incredibly easy.
It would also be super basic to quickly gain or lose a few pounds or more, should I ever want to. Just raise or lower the score. I've tested, super easy.
Incredible work. I use Hava everyday. Since the summer I went from 208lbs to 185lbs (which seems like my ideal body comp) and been maintaining it with ease. Hava is awesome. Keep going! @tednaiman @DrEenfeldt @JoinHava

How do you lose weight? What's the most effective way to eat?
250,000 days of eating show the way:
– More protein (20% or more, higher=more effective)
– More fiber
– Lower energy density (calories per gram of food)
– Less hyper-palatable foods (combinations of sugar, salt, fat, starch)
How about low carb? It tracks with most of the factors above, and it certainly helps.
Check out the data below.

What's most dangerous here?
1. Ultra-processed foods taking over the food environment, driving our epidemics of obesity and almost every chronic disease
2. People saying nice things about "real food."
Jan 7
The idea that there are special “real” foods that have healing abilities is dangerous because it creates a health halo. This can lead people to think that if they just eat the “right” foods, modern medicine is unnecessary.

AND I can still admit, in the spirit of fairness, that it looks like Canada’s graphic is beating ours ever so slightly, likely by not having an entire stick of butter 🧈😅
