  It is hard in the beginning, but it gets much easier after sticking with it for a few weeks. Your body and hunger adapts.

    Not my experience. I’ve tried them all. Calorie counting. Keto. IF. Full on water fasting. Paleo. Meal prep / logging. Weight watchers. Everything works for a time. None are sustainable for me.

I'd like to note that every drug has its sets of side effects, and that the use of GLP-1 agonists in clinical vignettes such as in the case of an obese patient with DM are seriously considered. More specifically, pharmacological therapy of obesity is indicated in patients with BMI > 30kg/m^2 or >= 27kg/m^2 [1] with another aggravating condition, such as DM2 or hypertension.

  Every drug has its sets of mild or severe side effects. But few drugs, including Wegovy, have a Black Box Warning. Even fewer where the increased risks in humans are unknown at the time of FDA approval, and only backed by rodent studies. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK538521/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK538521/
