An interview with Barbados non-diet nutritionist Christina Hall about weight, health and how globalization is reshaping her country's food and body ideals.
I’m a white American woman, so I have nothing useful to say about the Barbados culture, of which I know little.
However, I do know these meds. I started using them in July 2024 and not only did I lose 90 pounds, but every measured health metric improved. So did my mobility, obviously — getting up from the floor is far harder when you’re carrying nearly 100 pounds extra.
I wish these meds had been available when I was younger. They’re extraordinarily effective for me. I already ate a very healthy Mediterranean diet I cooked myself from scratch. I already got reasonable movement. Didn’t matter. I was very obese.
And now I’m not. My relationship with food is just like that of a naturally thin person now. It’s remarkable. I can enjoy treats for the first time because I can have a little portion and be satisfied. I would want the whole cake, so I just didn’t have it in the house. And now I can have it in the house and enjoy small servings over several days. This is a remarkable improvement.
