That's literally the whole reason that ozempic etc are popular, because they make it easier for most people to just eat less, in the same kind of way that caffeine makes it subjectively easier for someone who's tired to be productive.

Right. To be explicit, "just eat less" means "live your life always hungry." There's a reason this more-or-less never works in practice.
