People with type 2 diabetes are hitting a wall with basic carb management — one person can't even eat a single apple for breakfast without their glucose spiking dangerously high, while another gave up enjoying food entirely just to maintain decent A1C levels. Anyone building tools for diabetes management or meal planning would find gold here, especially since these folks are desperate enough to try expensive medications like Mounjaro just to get their lives back. The conversations feel raw and immediate, like people are actively struggling with this daily rather than just complaining in theory.

Someone on r/loseit laid it out pretty bluntly: after three years of job searching and doing "every single possible thing," they're wondering if their weight is the real reason they keep getting passed over despite interviews that feel like they go well. That's a painful place to be — putting the work in, feeling the connection, and still walking away empty-handed. The person here is a long-term job seeker who's internalized the suspicion that fatphobia is operating quietly in hiring rooms, and they have no real way to address it beyond actually losing weight. That's a rough spot to build for, honestly. The evidence here is a single post, and the "solution" people are reaching for — just lose weight — isn't something a product can shortcut in any meaningful way. Where there might be a narrow, honest angle is interview confidence coaching specifically for people who feel their appearance is working against them: not promising to fix bias, but helping them project the energy and self-assurance that tends to get underweighted when someone walks in already expecting rejection. Think structured prep around body language, framing, and mindset — the stuff that's actually coachable in the short term. Worth flagging, but I'd want to see a lot more signal before betting on this one. The pain is real; the path to a product that helps without overselling is genuinely tricky.
