Interesting. If we think of effectiveness as maintained weight loss and eventually no longer requiring the drug then the next few years and decades will be fascinating to see how effective they are long-term.

Even if you start gaining weight after a year or two I guess you could cycle back on it right ?

I mean, that's the goal for any weight management plan honestly - to provide the structure for you to make your own change. That GLP-1 meds are so effective will make a huge difference for tons of folks.

I think many people are going to use GLP-1s without a structure - and they may find it's not as easy to taper off without making a meaningful diet change.
