And this is why a new drug just approved in the US for obesity is hailed as a game changed, NovoNordisk's semaglutide. (Wegovy) The "only" thing it does is mange the hunger levels in your body so you dont feel hungry all the time.
I think there was a study back in February for it which gave something like a 15% weight loss after a year, *on average*.
