It doesn't make you magically lose weight, it just gets you closer to "girl dinnering" with less cognitive load. The weight loss comes from eating less.

The difference is that it puts you in control of your hunger and what/how much you eat. You don't build negative associations with food while you're running a deficit. You don't build the association "hunger/misery means you're doing good and losing weight."

Yeah, it's funny, Ozempic sounds utterly useless for me. I know how to lose weight, it's dealing with the side effects of weight loss that is tricky. And the side effects of weight loss sound a lot like the side effects of Ozempic.
