So it works by reducing hunger? Bit obvious if you eat less than 1kcal per day you will lose weight. The article mentions "along with some lifestyle changes".

So it works by reducing hunger? Bit obvious if you eat less than 1kcal per day you will lose weight. The article mentions "along with some lifestyle changes". Is what they mean? Every animal will engorge itself given the chance. All that is happening is the great abundance of cheap food and less activity. Thats it - except maybe for a tiny minority with metabolism / hormone issues.

What these drugs do is make it easier, here, on this particular planet, for people who struggle to control their appetite to actually do so.
