So we should be on drugs the rest of our lives?

I dropped from the mid 300s 10-15 years ago to 260-ish these days. It fluctuates from 250 to 280 over time, but keeping off weight long-term by changing diet is very much doable.

This is so stupid.

If you want to not be fat, exercise and eat fewer calories. Full stop.

The fact that a certain group of individuals don’t have that self control is just evidence that education and public health have a place. Drugs won’t solve that.

These drugs are needed for people with metabolic disorders caused by years of food abuse or poor genetics. It’s not a population wide solution.
