Diets also don't stick when you discontinue them.

It would be an incredible advancement if we figured out a reliable and replicatable way to just eat less food, but until then I think a drug that makes you do that is pretty decent.

Yes, obviously. Which is why sustainable weight loss takes a commitment to making a change in lifestyle.

What’s more sustainable, changing your lifestyle to maintain the weight you lost, or being beholden to taking a drug to maintain that same lifestyle change for a hope at maintenance?
