I feel it’s still not clear if you understand that ozempic causes weight loss because it causes reduced eating or if you believe ozempic causing less eating is incidental to the weight loss

So yes, it "causes reduced eating". That's a hell of a crazy thing though.

Someone joked on twitter that you can save a lot of money if you just eat the same amount of food that you would eat if you were on ozempic, because you'd see the same weight loss.

My only point is that it is not absurd to think that just as ozempic causes you to eat less, it is not ridiculous to speculate that other agents that can cause you to eat more.
