alt Hacker NewsThis thread has multiple people relating their personal stories of using ozempic to start building those healthy habits. Also, it doesn't just magically get rid of fat so you can eat more, its supposed to make you feel full longer (as I understand it, someone feel free to correct me on that).
Plus, even if it did magically get rid of fat temporarily, I'd rather encourage people to do something rather than simply shaming them for giving into a very human addiction.
Your biggest concern around glp-1 drugs shouldn't be the overweight people successfully slimming down, it should be people who are already a healthy enough weight who think they need to be even skinnier (something I've encountered plenty of).

It's complicated. This is commonly reported by people taking it, but it's not the only mechanism. Also commonly reported are that it reduces hunger levels flat out across the board, makes you feel full after eating less food, and that as you get used to eating less food your stomach physically gets smaller and you can't even eat as much food at all even if you tried to force yourself to (e.g. at a big holiday meal full of delicious food where you want to eat everything so long as physically able to, well past the point of hunger).
